PRESS REVIEWS:
"I was excited to find that Tundel is an open town where I could travel to any house and discover which tasks awaited me. An open town also means a non-linear plotline, which is a breath of fresh air in the casual space." – Gamezebo.com
"You have to try this one to really appreciate it." – Bigfishgames.com

Community Insight:
We love this game. Its a classic.
We actually like this game, its incredibly in depth and has a lot of lore. You explore around different maps, talk to characters and solve hints to find the mayor. The best part is that you explore in different places. Well made for a game thats 7 years old!!! Also, no advertisements thank gosh.
Challenging and entertaining with a sense of humor! Great for using your memory! Definitely worth the $3.00! Hours of entertainment! We really like this game.
Im not into fantasy storylines at all. We play and love e The Room for the puzzles and artwork. The stories just hold no appeal for us – until City of Fools. It doesnt try to be clever, or whatever it is that turns us off. Its funny, irrelevant and doesnt take itself seriously, as so many do (and shouldnt). Great snarky little jokes are sprinkled liberally throughout. Lots of shopping and crazy assignments from the equally nutty denizens of Tundel keep you busy.
This s a very entertaining game. We like it a lot.
Update: Im wondering how long it will be before we can expect this problem to be addressed and fixed. Its frustrating to have to delete the game and find it in Apple Store, select it then download it again. Once Im in the app we have to restore purchase because it wont register that we already own it. Any chance we will ever see this fixed? This is a good game that Ive played on our PC and now on our iPad. It had interesting additions to it that we really like but unfortunately after we beat the game and want to play a new game, we have to uninstall it completely or it doesnt erase some of the play from the previous game. Im not able to find the cornflower and we start out with a higher sum of money. We also am not able to give the shovels to the workers because theyre not there. So without finding the cornflower we cant complete the game.
This game needs to be removed from the App Store. Its outdated and unplayable on the latest iOS. We even tried following the walkthrough step by step and some of the areas simply dont work. You cant collect all of the items needed to move forward in the game. Requesting a refund.
Sorry we had to give this one star because we got it downloaded onto our 4th generation ipod and it would not open. It kept going back to our app screen.
