Ratings and reviews

This is a great game, and I'd love to give it 5 stars. There are just a few things that would make it better. The graffiti can be kind of finicky, and it's also annoying that you can't erase. It would also be nice if the walls were labeled, as it would make the missions where you need to paint a specific wall easier. It's also frustrating that you can't access wisdom exercises after you do them the first time. I accidently skipped one, and now I can't recess it. Otherwise, it's a great game.

This is an amazing concept and I love most of the execution. However, I was having a problem collecting a page in Disillusionment so I uninstalled and reinstalled the game in hopes it would fix it. I have an account but when I logged back in it synced me to level 6 in the begining of the game when I had been level 20-something and well into it. I'm still giving 5 stars cause I love the game but this setback made me a little disheartened.

More stressful than anything. The app is a neat concept but it is so frustrating to create the graffiti that it stresses me out even more. Want to erase? You can't. Oh ok, want to redo? You can but only to a certain point for some strange reason. You can't redo everything that you drew nor can you just cancel...This makes drawing really frustrating so I uninstalled.
