Community Insight:
This Company makes delightful puzzles, love them and going to try them all.
Love games by this team of programmers. Excellent work.
Very fun. So far its not been to hard. Definitely worth giving a try.
We want to buy a follow-up level, but we can't pay.
Would be awesome if we could play whole game through.
Great job on this. Very cool how you set things up! Cheers to you and hope you make many more to come!!! Thanks.
We demand more levels!!!! This is amazing had so much fun, we could do 15 more!!!!! Lets start there.
We bought the levels after 9 with Infinite Hints & no ads. Hints Not Infinite. We could Skip the puzzle or continue in frustration. Im not good at these games. This was working for us. People who are good at this stuff would probably be bored. The Hint given was to Skip the puzzle. The game essentially told us we were to stupid for this puzzle & should just move on. But, until then, we were enjoying the game.
Its fun. Not difficult, but fun. We like it.
This is a well made game: – Great design and graphics – Responsive and intuitive interface, with fun use of action like swiping and turning – Increasing difficulty of levels that lets you get familiar with the game mechanics However: – The puzzles can be considered trivial by some – Ads (we guess you can pay to remove them, though) Overall, we recommend this game.
Entertaining, not a bad little game we like it.
Will definitely make you think Good puzzles Not super hard but a challenge.
The graphics are great but the search and problem solving so far is a level 3 out of 10. They dont automatically provide clues but you can turn them on in the options if you need them. Unless youre new to the genre you wont need them at the start. Will update once we get to harder levels.
We enjoyed this game for many reasons and and there was one flaw that they need to work on. First the Good. Pros. The graphics are great Theirs no time restraints too get it done No glitches or freeze ups Never had a problem with this game It is Addicting and hard too put down No Ads (On the Purchased game) Cons. We think this game should have the option of difficulty. 15 levels in this game is not enough. If this game had 50 levels with a good story like this game has we would have given it 5 for sure. Its still a fun game too play we would recommend it to our friends.
The quality and smoothness of gameplay is top notch. However the puzzles are way too easy which in turn shortens the game. So to pay the money for a game that you can finish in an afternoon just isnt worth it.
We love puzzle games like The Room and the DaVinci series, and this one seemed to be along the same vein, but it was pretty elementary and linear. This would have been a good starter game for those new to puzzlers, but its not challenging for people who know how these games work.
Its a good game. Nice graphics, puzzles are simple and get harder, but we cant seem to restore purchases. We clearly remember having purchased this.
We got through 5 levels in about 15 minutes while we were eating lunch so we wont be paying for anymore. Graphics are beautiful and its well done, but far too easy for an adult. We think it would be great for a young kid.
We really liked the game but evidently in app purchases actually means free until level nine. Then you have to start paying for level packages. We call it bait and switch.
Its a pretty good game. Ive been playing for an hour or so and Im on level 13. Its quite easy if youre used to these kind of brain teasers. This game is better suited for 8-12 yrs than adults. Its unfortunate that the graphics and playability are so great, but the puzzles are very simple and straightforward. We have gotten stuck once, and the hints are almost useless. For example, we couldnt figure out a puzzle so we took a hint. The hint was arrows pointing at that puzzle. Yeah, we know we need to solve the puzzle, we just dont know how to solve it. Sometimes these games are more about figuring out what objects youre actually able to interact with rather than using your noggin. Its a good game, great graphics and play, but not nearly as good as The Room or Da Vinci. If youre looking for other great plays check out Rusty Lake and Meridian 157.
This game is designed well but was too simple for us. Id be willing to pay after level 8 if it was harder.
Nice graphics and decent puzzles, but we wouldnt have paid for this if we knew it only had 15 levels. Definitely not worth it.
Not very challenging and you can only get through level 8 before it is asking for money to open the next set of levels. If it took longer than 30 minutes it may have been worth it. Good for beginners though. Nice graphics and good use of items.
It was fun until you get to level nine. Then they notify you that you have to pay to go further. This should not have been labeled as free.
Great game but that is more than aggravating.
The ads take longer to load than it does to solve a level. Renderings and art are nice.
This was a nice game and we liked the steampunk element, but you only get seven more levels for $4. Thats way too little. Wish we had known that ahead of time. We feel cheated.
As far as puzzle games go, there are much more challenging options out there to spend your money on. The free levels can be easily passed with very little thought or effort. They almost solve themselves.
Gamer forces you to watch ads. Not for us.
When we open the app, the game just stays a black screen.
In this game you can play a few levels but then you wont believe it but you have to pay to do the rest thats why we just deleted it.
Induce users to share private information; Induce users to agree unfair terms.
Very unhappy we spent the money to continue this game. For $4.00 we should have had way more game play. Not playing anymore of your games.
We would never have paid $4.00 for only 15 levels. We feel cheated.
The constant ads for other apps are incredibly annoying. Especially when they turn in sound when you've disabled it in the app. Deleting this now.
We you are looking for a full version game fir free, this is a trial version with only 5 levels. You have to pay for more levels.
First we were able to watch ads to move on to the next scene. Ok cool no problem. We then thought this is an interesting game and we could play this all the time! So we purchased it. Big mistake the game isnt even that long we beat this game in a matter of hours. Then offer no other way of playing! So we paid to delete this app! Do yourself a favor and just delete the app for free.. Could have been an awesome game. Great concept, makes you think. A good challenge. We are not going to buy each individual scene to beat it within a few hours.
There is almost no plot. There are no puzzles; you just pick things up and put them in obvious places. And they want you to pay MONEY for levels 9+. Why? Why would we pay money for no content.
We thought when we first downloaded it, we most likely wouldnt like it; we usually dont like this type of game. But we were wrong; it actually does keep us coming back for more.
We just passed level two and it asks for a review already. So, the first two levels are great! Graphics great! Sound great! Feel is great! Playability great.
This is our dream game: great graphics to immerse you in this super cool flying machine and then you solve puzzles to escape. Awesome.
We like this game very fun and cool graphics.
We played it about 6 months ago. We enjoyed it so much we looked for other games just like it. They are few and far between. The graphics are very enjoyable. No glitches that we experienced. The puzzles are not to hard but not real easy. They progress to a higher difficulty. If you like puzzles you wont go wrong playing this game.
Absolutely love the graphics. Steampunk has always been a favorite of ours. The puzzles so far are really simple. We are only on level 4, though, so hopefully they will get a little harder and require more thought as we proceed.
We are so sorry snappy games do you member the message we send it to you about making a second game about this we are so sorry if it this was a second game to escape machine city since they almost have the same names if this is a second game to us can you please make a full game thats all we wanna say right now keep up the good work this is one of the most best puzzle games ever bye.
This game reminded us escape room so many things u have to do just to get to the next room so fun.
Amazing game, fantastic puzzles, but we wish we could have all the levels. This game would be ten times better if it were a VR game. All the right stuff to be the next Darkest Matter.
We're really becoming a fan of Snapbreak after sampling quite a few of their titles. Airborne is quite an improvement over the first Machine City, which we enjoyed but was lacking in a few areas. Even though the puzzles are fairly straightforward to figure out (except for the dang security encryption screen in Level 14!), they are cleverly integrated into the storyline, and we experience a great deal of satisfaction in being able to consistently progress through the game. The visual style is both imaginative and realistic at the same time with smooth animation and navigation. The hints point you in the right direction without giving too much away. Would love to see another Machine City installment. Great job, developers.
We dont write reviews, but we spent our day playing this!! A lot of fun. Puzzles werent too difficult, and the graphics were amazing. The only thing we didnt like is there were only 15 levels. We wantto keep playing.
