Weaknesses
- Frequent in-app purchases for episode unlocks ("I paid for the first episode, but the rest are paywalled")
- Some users report repetitive gameplay after the first few episodes ("After episode 3, it starts to feel samey")
- Long loading times and occasional performance issues on older devices ("App crashes on my iPad mini")
- Limited customization or replayability options ("No difficulty settings or bonus modes")
- Lack of offline mode in some versions ("Can’t play when I’m on a flight")
Opportunities
