« This game is a trashy mobile port. For the price it should not have an in game currency, nor should it be locked to 30fps with a dreadfully selective options menu. Oh and the game's boring and very repetitive. »

« Very simple mechanics, a cleverly handled difficulty curve for puzzles that end up maddeningly tricky. A very filling meal, packaged in a charming parody of everything slasher flick. In the end, a surprising time sink. »
