Community Insight:
We give it 2 stars because we paid for this game and,when we press already paid it goes it circles! It continues to goes in circles and then it says times up. A bunch of b.s we want to play this game that we already paid for! We pressed unlock just to see and it did not go in circles you are a bunch of rip off shame on you. Fix this problem.J.F.
Stashing items behind the hint button is really not fair. It was actually pretty annoying. Main game was long – bonus game way too short.
The bonus game is 5-10 minutes long. Developers short-changed customers on this one.
First, we really enjoy your games. This one has a significant glitch. Im using an iPad 10th GEN. The tool/items box has an arrow for scrolling through items needed for gameplay. The arrow on this one is too close to the items and wont allow us to scroll. We cant access item needed to play scene. Therefore, we cant progress in the game. Our only option is uninstall the game reinstall it and hope the glitch is gone. Id rather just get a refund and purchase a new game. We did put in a refund request. Thank you.
What's happened to this? It used to work normally. Now it has a peculiar halting flow that makes it impossible to play while paying attention to the plot. You have to tap the scene to make it flow forward. If you don't, it won't. Everything else we play works normally, so it's not that. Not worth struggling through–we were only trying it to see if it was better than we remembered. Can't tell.
We are enjoying the story line and the unusual HOP's. Nice job.
Really enjoyed this game and look forward to more in this title. The treasure hunt is always one of our favorite goodies from Mad Head. However, in this game and others as well the search items are often too close to or behind the corners where the menu/guide icons are located. A minor point, but it complicates the fun.
Great story. No problems, played perfect. Yes the hidden object games were our favorite, really fun. Thanks again for the best.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful thought out game. We love this series. The storyline was so easy to follow. The map worked great and had so much fun playing. We highly recommend this game.The characters were also very interesting to get to know and we hope we see more of them.
The game had an interesting storyline, and was lengthy inclusive of the bonus adventure. There was a plethora of interesting tasks to accomplish at each location. You must collect a crystal icon, as well as a morphing object, at each location. The morphs were also present in the HO scenes. The problem was that some of the collectibles were hidden behind icons ( such as the hint button) and were very difficult to access. This was also the case during the treasure hunt. There were a nice variety of HO scenes, and the puzzles were diverse as well. The game was a terrific game, but unfortunately there was a lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. That reduces the amount of pleasure we get while playing. As such our review will remain at 4 stars. It was still worth playing! Mad Head, your amazing and quirky games will be sorely missed.
Good story. Fairly long. Couldnt expand hidden objects screens. It was difficult to move to the previous page if inventory items without mistakenly clicking on the item closest to the Osage Artie. Dialogue was often inadvertently clicked through without being read.
Great game. Way too short though. Some puzzles were confusing. And what discount?? We still paid the $6.99.
