KF on KND Editor’s Note: This game requires 1.5GB of available memory on your device to install, and it seems to need some memory to run. There are some 1-star reviews from Fire HD tablet owners saying the game won’t load for them or it hangs, but none of them specify the generation / model year of their devices. I ran it on both my 2013 Fire HDX and my 2015 Fire HD8 with no problems, but it takes a LOT longer to download to / install on the 2015 Fire and the app icon doesn’t show up at the top of the Home or App screens after the installation is complete on my 2015 Fire. I suspect the users who report problems didn’t wait long enough for the install to complete (it seems like it hangs there on the 2015, but be patient, it will complete eventually) or assumed the app didn’t install when it failed to show up on the top of the Home or Apps screens. Following install on a 2015 Fire, go to Apps > All Library, tap the link for installed/downloaded apps, and the icon will be there.
The Room Three: anyone who loves truly immersive puzzle apps will want to try this one.
