Community Insight:
This is the nicest puzzle game ive ever played we like the texture.
Challenging and fantastic game.
Loved the game! Definitely worth the price of admission. Would have loved it even more if it was on our desktop. Really enjoyed Faraway Directors Cut, Jungle Escape, and Arctic Escape, although there were quite a few bugs in all three. In fact, we cant really finish Directors Cut because the note in level 11 is in the wrong place, its visible under a rock but it wont let us take it. We DONT CARE! We still enjoyed the heck out of it. And recommend it.
These games test you, but not in the unsolvable manner Its quite fun.
This game is great. We always look forward to the next one when we finish.
We love this game but they is a pay wall.
They are challenging but not impossible, hint system is very helpful unlike other games. They are episodic and short enough to do a level while waiting for something but there are lots of levels if you want longer play. Really hope they make more.
This is mostly a test to see if rating it removes ads.
Faraway 4 really seems to take us faraway from our life. Whether its the ingenious puzzles or intricate patterns it is challenging and makes us think outside the box. The story behind it is intriguing and understandable. The diary pages are hidden well but not impossibly hard to find. The stunning eternal fall background ties together the white buildings and the theme. The landscape is enticing and is easily our favorite part. Last but not least, the gameplay is smooth and we dont see any blockyness or pixelated parts. The purchase is totally worth it. 100 percent. You have easily nailed the best game we have ever played. We hope you continue making amazing faraway games like this one. Thank you for your time. Faraway is our #1 choice for puzzle games or just games in general! Good job.
We play their faraway game series every night before we go to sleep, usually until im nodding out with our phone still in our hand lol. Im sad that ill probably have beaten all of them soon. But its been super fun, and calming all at the same time. Hoping snapbreak games will make more soon! We love alllll of their games so much.
So freaking addictive! This game is our happy place.
Its totally worth purchasing this.
We love figuring out the clues and solutions.
Beautiful art work and fun to play.
We cant wait till they make some more. Worthy of our hard earned money but Couple of glitches you got to fix.
We are really amazed and intrigued with each faraway game series. We find it quite challenging at times and we like that is all puzzles-.
We love all the games made by this developer. Challenging, but not impossibly so. Ad after each level only & short…5 secs. We have all their games.
If you love puzzle your love this game also if you love escape game this is the game.
Its so fun to play, and the story is interesting. Will you make more.
The game is gorgeous. The puzzles are interesting without being frustrating. Very lowkey.
Us gusta te pone a trabajar la mente.
It is very easy to, pass the levels and it is realistic. We hope to see more of this.
Ive only been playing for a few minutes and we all ready love it!!!!! Thank you crew for making this game.
A pleasant run for the casual gamer.
Really enjoyed this game. Not stressful. Can complete without hints but still the level of difficulty we look for.
A very good game unfortunately they want you to pay for the rest but it a good game.
So far enjoying the game just download it hopefully we dont have to pay anything! But its enjoyable and more relaxing than most of the puzzle games. We enjoy the puzzle games and trying to figure out ours tricks. OK how much do we have to say on this post for it to actually be enough words to send? We keep talking we guess.
Well done – it was a little too much for us but fun Had to use some hints.
We rated a few days ago that it was very cool, hoping it gave us free levels. It didnt. So now heres what we really feel. Terrible, dont waste time.
This is a great puzzle game even without paying you get a good amount of fun. We are wanting to attempt a speed run.
Playing through the game was fine until level 9. We press the blocks to open the panel for the gear but nothing happens when we press them. Is there a glitch.
Pretty nice little game. Once you get the hang of what you have to do.
Second Faraway Ive played. Enjoyable but not as challenging as Galactic Escape.
Nothing much to it its just cool.
We started the game and it was really fun but you only get ONE free hint. What is up with that!!!!!!!!!! Then if you want more le ves you have to buy them. Kind of sad.
Best suited for kids honestly. Everything was painfully easy. Didnt get too far before we got bored with it so maybe get way more intense as you go but we didnt see it going anywhere too entertaining.
The levels are good and the lote bevind is mysteious.
Looked cool but we didnt really understand the first part still dont.
Not enough explanation about completing 100%.
Too soon to tell. Only 4 levels in.
We have been paying the $3.99 on 4 of these games. Game 4 is the first one we finished. Unfortunately NOW you want us to pay another $3.99 for the 9 bonus levels? We think the games are great but definitely not worth the original cost and now you want more money? Terrible.
We love the faraway escape games, but the achievements wont unlock, even with the purchase of the full game. Does anybody know how to unlock them? Ive taken pictures on every level, collected all the notes, and smashed all the pots to our knowledge, but none of our achievements have unlocked. Otherwise, we love this game and the entire series.
The puzzles in this game are so childishly simple that it threw us at first. We thought There has to be more to this game. We must be missing something. But no, what you see is what you get; puzzles that telegraph the solution so plainly that they might just as well have a graphic on the bottom spelling it out. Then we thought Okay, but theyre going to get harder as we go. Nope. If this is your first puzzle game, it might be a good introduction. But you will be in for a surprise if you progress to The Room, or House of DaVinci, or any Glitch game (the best!) or Rusty Lake, or Isoland, or the Legacy series. All of these games have much better graphics. Graphics here look like ones from our old 1980s desktop games; in fact not as good. Other games mentioned above have puzzles that will require thought. Another annoyance here is having to hold the iPad in portrait mode. Now something that doesnt bother us: Having to pay for games. We didnt pay for this one (obviously!) but the people who whine about having to pay need to grow up and move out of Moms basement. Do you work for nothing? Do your parents? Pay the developers for their work, especially all you five star reviewers. We didnt care for this, but you did. Pay up.
The game it self can get 5 stars but they only give u 9 levels to play then it makes u buy the whole game which takes away 3 stars.
First Snapbreak Games game we rated a full 5 rating. Out of the four faraway games we played, this is the only one allowed us to say 100% completed. We did not do anything different with #4 than 1-3, but those did not allow us access to all notes or bonuses. Loved this one due to the different puzzles compared to the first three games…way to go! We are not sure If Snapbreak Games will make more in this numbered Faraway series, but they definitely have a guaranteed customer.
Not sure why we are doing some tasks? We solve a puzzle, we go through a door, we read a note? No real structure.
On level 6, nothing happened after solving puzzle on the right side which is > >> this things.
We were looking for zen game something to get us through the uncertainty and stress of Covid 19 and found this. We had only played two levels and decided we wanted to pay to unlock all so we did. We will be looking for more games from the developers of this app for sure.
This is a really chill game with cool puzzles to solve as you explore the beautiful scenery.
Ive just started playing this game and we already love it. From the graphics to the amazing puzzles, we love it. At first we thought it would be a very simple game where you just walk through, but once we figured it was a puzzle game we smiled so hard. One thing Ill recommend is the ability to walk freely, but besides that its so good. Even only being able to look sideways is fine. The conflict of being able to walk freely will get rid of the puzzle when theres a door or walkway to the side that you cannot see though, so we understand why you disabled that. That being said, this app is absolutely astonishing. Something we can play easily on the way to work or when Im about to sleep. Youre doing great.
