- “It was pretty fun until it started glitching. You'll drag items and then they'll get stuck on screen. I also tried to use the 'quote on quote' hammer in the game, and it wouldn't let me. The hint spying glass would appear and disappear throughout the whole game, and I would lose all of my items only for them to reappear. It's a fun game, but please fix the glitches.”
