Universal House of Shadows (by The Electric Toy Company)

that's the only 'issue' I found too! The first reviews of the game in this same thread were misleading, thanks to metalcasket I have bought this one...great game, not so similar to spy mouse...I love the fact u can also tap in the desidered point to go there instead of drawing the path.
Having good fun with house of shadows; the only problem,again, is the low level of difficulty: finished the first house, caught by ghosts...hmm...three maybe four times only!
Oh, and with the price lowered to a buck, I have to strongly recommend it

 

Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

It's interesting that you're finding it a little too easy. Just as a little side note: in our playtesting we found that testers found harder versions of the rooms too difficult and frustrating, so we tweaked the first house to err a little on what we thought was the easy side. That seemed to be just right for most players. Being TouchArcade subscribers, you might be more experienced and skillful than most, and so the first house might just kind of flow for you better than for some. But see what you think about the second house. It's definitely a step harder. And a third house with yet more challenges is on its way!

 

Thanks to Metalcasket, I wound up snaggin this one. The beginning is really easy, but it does get a bit more difficult as you progress throughout the game... I can definitely see some more interesting mechanics being added later on, and hopefully some are. The controls are great, and the auto-path making is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. The lighting is incredible, I love it, and there's loads of polish, with the game running buttery smooth on my 4th gen (which is, yeah, a rarity these days) - can't believe I was going to skip out on this one because of some early impressions about controls.

 

Any chance of adding an unlockable hard mode of each house once you complete it? Might help for those who think its too easy (plus boost replayability)

 

Yes! An unlockable "nightmare" mode could be interesting. We'll consider that idea closely and put it in if it makes sense. Thanks anada!

 

Here's a new trailer for House of Shadows, showing off more of the graphics, gameplay, and the spirit of the game.

I decided to buy too... the good reviews help

[edit] the problem is that it won't run. On both my ipod touch 3g, and ipad 1, it crashes.
Ios 5.1.1, both 32gig - on the ipod touch, it does seem to run in safe mode (yes both are jailbroken).
I also rebooted after installing. It won't run at all on the ipad.
Any suggestions?

[edit again] for whatever reason, the game is now running.

 

Sorry to bring up an old game.

Have someone cleared level 11 of the second house yet ?
I cant kite the zombie that is sitting on the key. Is there some secret trick to this ?

Even if i can kite him around the square room and get the key. He will reset and walk back to where he stood and catch me.

 

Just finished this one tonight. Properly enjoyed it. Last two levels were very tricky. Hope you've got the one above sir. I had to shine my torch in that feller's face a couple of times. Got him to move and then hid round the corner to shine my torch in his face kind of thing.
Top game, Jeff.

 

I figured it out, i had no idea that you could stun monsters with the flashlight.

This game was really enjoyable, too bad he never finished the third chapter.

 

This game is a classic. Too bad they never added to it or made a sequel. It was good.
