Community Insight:
Every one of these games are gold! Can be a tiny bit buggy sometimes, but a fun puzzle snack whenever you need it.
Just the right kinds of challenges! We love that we can pay just a couple of dollars and play such a fun game! Keep making more.
These Faraway games are so much fun. This is our third one, and they are all innovative and just hard enough to be challenging, but not drive you crazy. Recommend to everyone.
Can someone please give us a clue to finding the secret level? Does it have something to do with the numbers on the bottom of each third note.
We just love it! We wish there was more objects to find.
It's not MYST but, it is very good for an iPhone app. We'd rate it at 4.75 out of five if that option were available.
We love all the faraway games. The challenges are great and the games are very logical well thought out.
We really enjoyed this chapter. We are still confused sometimes because the puzzles dont necessarily make sense to us but we have never been great at figuring out weird patterns. This was definitely intriguing and by far the most complicated we have played so far.
As always with these creators, this game is excellent. Game play is challenging without being frustrating. The graphics are good and enjoyable. We have played every game by these creators and we have enjoyed all of them.
Not supee difficult, but visually pleasing and fun.
Love the series great game one suggestion is the title.
We have all of the Faraway games to-date, and this one does not disappoint. While the puzzles are not overly difficult (we never used the Hint feature), they are challenging enough to entertain. Once we picked up on how to find all three notes (those puzzles are fun to figure out), things go smoothly, start to finish. If possible, we hope the developer has more Faraway sagas in the future.
The gameplay is easy but sometimes confusing, the mystery with missing parts keeps you on the edge of your seat. The amount of adds are manageable and the graphics are simple and interesting.Pretty good game.
We Like Faraway Tropics but ran into a glitch in chapter 4 and had to quit. We just deleted the app.
Nxhshebdhheh is the day you get the chance wwwww was the year that we had the opportunity of the world and the people who were in the same place as the other two years ago the first time ever since the last update the new version has been the best way.
Loved this one the best. Puzzles were fun and engaging. They start off easy and become more difficult. We never became frustrated or completely stuck. The hint system will save you, if you need it. Keep up the good work.
We like this game A LOT! It is totally worth the price( sense we could pay for it)! Our only complaint is that we REALLY want to hear the story in the notes, but we JUST CANT FIND THEM ALL! Other then that, its a GREAT app.
You get to do only 9 levels then they make you pay to play the rest like what the heck!!!!!!!!so we deleted it.byyyyyyyyyyy.
It has a bug at level 16 that prevents finishing the game.
We enjoy this game and you will too! We just like to relax and be there in the moment, solving these puzzles. Not too hard but not a waste either.
Fun game, fairly easy which we like! Just keep wanting to play for hours.
This is a very clever game….especially the clues for the 3rd notes. We really love all of their faraway escapes, but we wish there were more free levels.
We only played the first nine levels because Im broke, but this game is very fun with just 0 cents.
Very thought provoking. Easy at first then more challenging tasks ahead.
We love all of the faraway games.
We tried re-downloading the application and that reset our progress. The problem was every time we opened the application it just closed at the opening screen. Perhaps its our iPad and no this app but its only happening with this app. Awesome really fun game otherwise! Highly recommend for that part of it. :).
Once started and saved, this repeatedly refuses to reopen. Ive tried restarting our iPad, reinstalling the game, and simply waiting overnight. Only buy this if you intend to go through the entire game in one sitting.
Love this whole series. But the games keep crashing. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling, doesnt work.
There shouldnt be ads in something we paid for. Thats double dipping and greedy.
Wonderful puzzles; no frights; no shooting, hacking, or obliterating and nobody dies. A nice way to wind down and while away a little time.
Its a fun puzzle game that gives hints if you want you have to pay to get all of the levels but still fun.
These are really fun games and we are so excited to have a new chapter to play.
The transporter tom in the final level will not allow one to step back, even after completion of tasks. To foul up the last level is a major frustration. The purchased version spares you ads, but all your invested time will end in frustration as you cannot complete the game. Avoid until developers fix and post an update. This from the last day of 2019.
Spammy practice of immediately asking us to rate the app. We just paid minutes ago. Heres your rating.
Couldnt finish the game after getting all the way into level 18. So disappointing. Got through the island and then it just kept sending us in a loop from the fire back to the island. No way to get back to the ante room. Developer did not respond to our plea for help. Last money spent with them going forward.
Love the animation and the smoothness of the tap and find features. The puzzles are challenging but always logical so they can actually be solved. Love it.
We never write reviews, but the Faraway series by Snapbreak is the best in existence. We live for a new Faraway and this one is awesome! Buy it now.
We must say we love this game. Good graphics and good levels. Cant wait for faraway 6. Good luck making the 6th game ;).
Im now giving this 5 stars. We got through 18 thanks to a walkthrough on you tube and thanks to the people at Snapbreak! Great game.
When we Started Playing This Game. IT WAS LIKE A DREAM OF PUZZLES! So get reddy for an Awsome Experience.
There is a glitch in level 16 with the shape puzzle,pieces wont move,otherwise the game is awesome! We figured out what we were doing wrong,no glitch.
It is very unique, full of mystery and excellent game of Faraway game, If someone read our review, and decide to install it, you have to unlock game, and dig every 'Secrets' throughout game Snapbreak & Pine Studio you did awesome job, and Thank You.
Starts out very easy but gets progressively more difficult. Especially if you are a completionist like us and try to find every secret. Beautiful graphics, no lagging issues, lots of puzzle variety. Reminiscent of The Witness at times. Also, the last 9 puzzles are better than the (free) first 9, so if you try it and like what you see you will not regret the purchase.
We love this game, and the ones like it. Its easy, and it doesnt make you crazy having to you go back and Retrace your steps. We wish there was more to play before you have purchase.
So this world we loved AND hated. We are not a maths person, and there were some trails that gave us a headache. We think it was level 17 that was hardest for us, so much so that we began to not even make multiple attempts, we just went to clues. Then all was redeemed for us in level 18, which was just an easy logical pleasure, and we found ourselves smiling at our work again! Thanks.
We love all of the Snapbreak games and Im always excited to see a new one come out. This one did not disappoint and we enjoyed playing most of it. The reason for only 4 stars is because the last level seems to have a bug and we cant finish the game. No matter where we tap, we just keep flipping back and forth between two screens and theres no way to get out.
However…we are stuck on the last level, level 18, of this one. Once we go back through the portal, we cant leave that room. We hit the arrow and it just keeps sending us back and forth between the portal room and the tropical islands. Help!!! Im almost finished.
This is a good addition to the series. Graphics were a bit too monotone for us. Puzzles were simpler than other Faraway games and so the game didnt last as long. We docked a star because we expect in-game hints for $3.99, and this game has none. We hate having to go online and view a YouTube video when a simple hint would have been much better. And theres a bug in level 15.
We love these games but getting the third letter on at least half of these was really too hard. Its more fun if we have half a chance of finding the soln ourselves.
You get to play nine levels before you have to pay.
