Community Insight:
This is a fun challenging game that makes you use your brain lol.
Wow what a great game, we saw language and we see all the languages in a world except Arabic language its makes us sad because Arabic community is biggest second speaking in a world but it does not receive attention, we hope in future all games add Arabic language like any other language in the world.
Thanks for having he next chapter on special, affordable and thanks for giving us the option to watch some adds for hints. GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE MEEEE THE NEXT CHAPTER!! Plsssss thanks for an awesome game, game maker humans.
We love love love this game the storyline is amazing and we love how the puzzles are at just the right difficulty. We love games like this and Ive been looking for games like rusty lake and this is definitely coming up right behind it on our list. We hope the next chapter comes soon because this story has us hooked.
This was truly one of the best. So engaging. It was hard but not impossible and very addicting.
We are wildly amazed how unique and attention grabbing this point and click game is! We first downloaded this game just to play the free first chapter but after playing it for a while we were not expecting to completely fall in love with it! We loved the first chapter so much that we were willing to pay for the rest of the story (something we usually don't do when it comes to point and click games) we don't regret our payment at all! We loved the music and the wonderful characters. The story line is the right balance between light hearted and Intriguing plus the puzzles are quite fun/challenging. We are pretty disappointed the ending has not come out yet but Im looking forward to how the game continues :). Overall, Good work on the developers and we hope to see more updates soon.
We like the puzzles and that its not super hard but enough to think about hitting the hint button before trying again lol. We just would like more intersection on almost like a simulation level.
We loved this game, definitely spent money to see more, but its been forever we finished it, but we know theres more if the story coming soon but its been over 2 years right? Is on the verge of being released soon? We really wanna finish it.
We love the game so far, the only issue is it freezes after watching ads to receive bulbs for hints.
Because we dont really want to stop playing! Its cute and very well done, doesnt lag. Our only suggestion would be to offer some details about what youre looking for with the puzzles; sometimes its a wasted hint to just answer the Huh.
Overall this game is pretty cute, but it is pretty clear that English is not the first language of the developers and whoever did the translating probably isnt a native English speaker, either. Some of the phrasing is awkward and occasionally doesnt make sense right away, so you have to kind of guess what they probably meant. To the devs: great game, the English translations just need a bit more work.
So far, its an interesting game with challenges that keep us busy. However, we have watched a number of ads to receive hints, and we have yet to receive them in our iventory! Please fix that.
We like the game but there are many issues with functionality. The interface between the ads and the hints dont work half the time. You can waste a hint if you are on a subscreen which is ridiculous.
Its not enough to just figure out what you have to do and how to do it. You also have to pay for documents and mini games and pieces of equipment that pretty much ruins it for us. Otherwise some of it was interesting.
..to read the reviews. We like to support game developers, but not when its clearly a waste of money. Im so disappointed in this game. We bought the extended version for 9 bucks and the hints are only good for sending you out of the room, no specifics on what to do next or where to be. Ive been chasing our tail for an hour now, ready to look up a walkthrough online. We also agree about the room labels as cutscenes, not needed and feel like time-fillers to make the game last longer. And Ive wasted so many hints on that fishing game, dont know what thats about. Cute story, tho, and we like the artwork. Update: the sphindro sapling is directly behind the hint bulb, so we lost 8 hints trying to click on the plant.
There are lightbulbs. Three of them. When pressed, they disappear in a puff and then . . . Nothing. Hmmm. We are guessing they are hints because just after the last one disappears in a poof, an ad appears offering more clues at surprisingly high prices. As we recall, $8. Hmm again.
The game is pretty and intriguing, but unfinished.
Game keeps crashing at start and app help support page is not In English.
Puzzles in the first half were just right difficulty.had to think, but didnt need a walkthrough. The second part was a bit more convoluted, but we still found ourselves rooting for the protagonist and his family. Nice ending. Totally worth $6.99 to us.
Really good game with nice story. Challenges arent too obscure. We can fully recommend playing. Its a good hour to hour and a half gameplay give or take. For Dev: our small complains are hints are used up sometimes by showing you are in the wrong room so you can spend several lightbulbs to get next helpful clue. The English translation is a little off which can sometimes give confusing emotions to characters. Lastly, cut seen between rooms that labels the next room you are opening takes a little long to load. These are all minor constructive criticisms in what is really a well thought out gameplay experience.
We are a big fan of games like this though we do have one pretty major issue, specifically with the use of a slur at one of the points of the game, specifically the r-slur. We understand the makers of this game arent native English speakers so this is just a piece advice about that word being very bad, you could replace it with something like stupid or dumb, we do hope this helps as this game has a lot of promise and the devs seem very good at what they do.
Everything about this game is super charming from the hand drawings to the not-quite-right/sometimes confusing English translations. The puzzles arent too hard but it would have been nice to have clues instead of just solving the puzzle when you wanted a hint. Overall – we look forward to the next chapter.
We played the free part and enjoyed it. The graphics are just like in the Cotton games, which we love. The English is bad and the hint system is terrible. We would have purchased it and played the whole game if it werent for the ridiculous price. If Im paying $7 for a game, we expect to get unlimited hints included. But no, they except you to pay $7 for the game AND buy hints. $2 per 10 hints, but you can easily use up 5 hints just getting directed to a specific room and it takes 3 hints to solve a puzzle. Thats crazy and we will not support such greed.
Ive been doing playing Gears for about 2 weeks now and its been freezing up. It started on the 2 nd floor of the first chapter in the house. Now when we open the game and tap anywhere it just freezes. We can no longer play the game. Please fix.
We hope you fix the bugs. The game keeps lagging and crashing.
We thought it was fun until the cat said the r word. Not cool. Some puzzles didnt make much sense, especially the plane one. Otherwise, the story is engaging and the puzzles are intellectually stimulating.
The game and the story is really good, and the graphics are charming, but the lag is horrible. We cant go a single move without the game either freezing completely or lagging on us. The lag makes you it really hard to play.. ):.
We like the puzzles & the story but it keeps freezing & crashing, so we cant move forward.
We love the game but we have spent extra money trying to figure out what to do.. We have come to realize its a glitch. We are supposed to click on something in the middle on the screen and it wont do a dang thing. We searched the game for something we missed and spend our bulbs for the same hint over and over any help would be nice.
We enjoyed the first chapter. We like point and click games with puzzles , most are not difficult but it takes some work or thinking and they give a few free hints at beginning and you can watch a video for more if needed which is a great feature. Which for a free version you get over an hour of game time. We do wish there was more information about the rest of the game.. How many chapters? What percentage of game is left if you purchase.
Only real problem we have with this is the English translation is kind of lacking. Other Than that, good story, good puzzles, great art style.
