Community Insight:
We didnt think it was gonna be quite as good as it turned out to be. This is a pretty fun game.
When we downloaded the game on our iPad mini 3 it supports smoothly.
Totally love the game and the challenging adventure. Kudos to the creator.
We find the episodic nature of the game to be a bonus. Works whether youre trying to fill a few minutes or play longer. We also find these puzzles to be very relaxing in a way. The notes were funny only in the first game which we do miss. We definitely enjoy smashing the pots. Graphics are great and the puzzles are interesting. Ive played all 3 and theyre all great! Highly recommend the whole trilogy.
This game is pretty fun the only downside of it is that you have to pay to get more lead. Other than that its a great game that challenges your brain and your mental skills.
These games are pretty awesome..however..we were able to play them all in a weekend. We paid for one for the extra content but blew through it as wellI love the simple gameplay and cant wait for more.we just each level would take about an hour we personally would gladly pay for that.even something for a game console.would be perfect for a Nintendo switch.
Love this game need more like these. Thanks.
Belle. Cute. Easy tone starting off. Truly enjoying the app this far.
It really makes you think. Clever.
Easier is definitely better for us . We know a lot of people would disagree but having to use a walkthrough every step of the way gets old. Im an old lady and we love love love this game and the entire series. Thank you for making them.
Beware of this game. Highly Addictive!! Youll see.
We love this game! We got all three games and purchased the full thing. It's so hard to find games like these in the app store we were so happy to find it and it was way better than we expected. If you love adventure games and really like solving puzzles that really make you think than this is the game. We hope you make another great one with a cool story but we do wish it was way longer with more levels (:.
The third note is supposed Ed to show up when you aim the laser at the tree. Did that many times, exited and returned, did it again etc. All to no avail.
We love this game!!! But now Ive done the free part. Wish we could get the rest for free. Later its all free now!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you.
We like these puzzles a lot but we wish they didnt make you pay for the rest.
Only a few levels in a puzzles are pretty easy. Will see if they get harder.
Awesome and challenging puzzles with a plot to keep you hooked through the game.
We really enjoy these games yet we think they are not long enough for the price.
Why doesnt the third level open? We love it until we get there! DISAPOINTING.
We were playing the game which had no flaws until we got to the end of level 9 we think it is outrageous that we have to pay to continue the game it is totally ridiculous and we will not be sharing this game.
We cant get in to level 8. Ive passed 1-7, but just get a white screen when trying to open level 8. Disappointing.
We have spent hours playing this game and the first two. The puzzles very seldom repeat, theres new ones in each level. We highly recommend this game for all ages of puzzle solvers.
We enjoyed this game thoroughly, it keeps you thinking. Some puzzles were tough to figure out but not impossible. Too short but worth the money.
This game is the best but so hard like why did you do that we give you all. Respect that we have.
Great games. All of the faraway games are fun. Challenging games but hints are right there if you need them.
This is one of our favorite games.
Finally a series of games to actually require thought.
Interesting design and colors. We have come back to it a couple of times.
Fantastic scenarios, intriguing puzzles, challenging adventures. . . Loved every bit of it.
Really good puzzles – so entertaining.
We really love these games! The music is soothing, the art is surreal and inviting, and the puzzles are fun; easy but not too w just enough challenge to make our brain work at figuring them out. We really love the < & > movement & dont think the game should be in landscape mode. Part of the challenge (and fun) is not seeing everything in one frame. For us thats more lifelike. We have to turn our heads to see things in real life & this movement gives that feel. Ill be buying the full game.
We have all four. The first two we would skip. The fourth has quite a few puzzles that werent much fun imo. But this is the game that we play to relax. The puzzles make sense to us and we like the scenery. We wish there were more games like this.
Ive really come to like this came. Its not as stressful as the other escape games. Its very relaxing and we like that. Theres no confusion on how do do things or where to go from where. 12/10.
Challenging, but not deeply frustrating. We enjoyed the landscapes and musical score as well.
Great game, it certainly get our 5 star.
Love this Fairway games, not too hard but engaging.
We love this game is very challenging and keeps mama Im thinking at our age we cannot afford to buy it but we will spread it to other people that is a wonderful game thank you for the opportunity.
We just began this game but it is a challenge that feels so good when you get it right. Exciting fun.
Good way to pass the time on the bus, not too challenging.
The puzzles are not too challenging but the animation and scenery is enjoyable. You get to break pottery as you move along, basically just to hear it shatter. Strange attribute now that we think on it. We found one item in a pot, once.
Easy to be engaged. Puzzle answers were mostly easy, once you figured out what to do. We liked the idea that the only help you got was what you asked for.
Its not over challenging but just right.
Reminds us of the Krypts from MK11.
Relaxing, you dont have to rush.
Im happy to pay to remove ads so Im not tracked and so we have a pleasantly uninterrupted experience. After paying, the ads at the end of each level went away but the title page ads remain. Ad removal should mean all ads.
We love these games and we would have given this 5 stars, except we got to the final bonus level and there's a glitch preventing us front getting the last note. Do you know how annoying that is??? All that work and time, to eternally be stuck on 99% compete.
No really tough puzzles, in fact its usually just a matter of moving a lever or two. Still, we played all the way through hoping for more which never happened.
Graphics at good and the idea is cool but so easy 4 is more challenging and fun.
The puzzles are so incredibly tame that they amount to busywork. They can almost all be solved by randomly punching at your tablet. Its like The Witness for children and people with low spatial ability.
We accept ads. Even 30 sec. Long ones. But not when youve only played for a minute or two, or every time you enter the game. The puzzles seem geared towards elementary age kids. No challenge or true puzzle. May get better, but not worth the ads to find out.
