Community Insight:
It is so vibrant and detailed if felt good to just relax and follow instructions and feel a little silly.
Easy to play. The graphic is amazing.
Easy enough for our 7 year old to practice his reading and for our 5 year old to practice her logical problem solving. They are really enjoying this game.
We are not one to ever write reviews but we have a few thoughts about this game.. We decided to give this game a try after a stint of trying and failing to find games that actually engage us.. We realize this game was probably fairly easy for some people but as someone who doesnt really play games like this- we felt challenged enough but not to the point where the game felt frustrating. We really got into it. We wasnt feeling so great mood wise, pretty anxious and when we needed something to take our mind off of that- this game completely transported us into another place. This game is Perfect for light gaming or relaxing. We have to say our favorite part about this game is probably the graphics mostly because it is beautifully illustrated. We actually felt excited for the first time in a long time to play a game. Very reminiscent of something from our childhood but with better graphics. The first 8 levels are free which is kind of crazy considering a computer format of this game would be very expensive. The rest of the levels are VERY CHEAP! Im usually very frugal but this game deserves every penny to the game designers.
Like others have mentioned some of the puzzles are kind of easy yet some are challenging. If youve played other games like this, most of the puzzles you would have seen in some form or other. We enjoyed the adventure.
Well worth the small amount being charged to remove ads. A fun puzzle adventure without being so difficult that it becomes overwhelming to play, but enough difficulty to keep you interested. Also fun as a replay to catch the details you missed on the first go. Recommended.
Its just plain fun. Not to easy: not to hard.just relaxing. And for those of you who are complaining….we like that some things are not so hard. If a game is really really hard it stresses us out, we love all of their games.
THERE IS A REASON WHY THE AGE GROUP STARTS AT 9+!!! For all you folks giving this game a bad review because it was to easy, It specifically days for NINE AND UP! Next time dont download a cartoon game! Duah! To the Reviewer named FLASHMAN and everyone else who flippin complains about having to pay for a game to play… Let us ask you this, DO YOU WORK FOR FREE?? Hmmmm didnt think so. Please tell us why you expect these developers to do so then? Every penny these developers make comes from IAP or up front costs! Thats how they get paid for all their work! Try coding a game, youll think twice about complaining about a game that you need to pay to play for! EITHER you pay, or get bombarded with ADS and we for 1 do not want to sit through ads just to play a game! Theres a saying that you may have heard of.. You get what you pay for! That rings true in so many aspects! This game is now abandoned which upsets us. We, unlike some of you, enjoyed the game regardless of its difficulties or lack there of. We gave it 4 stars because its abandoned and theres nothing left to do! To bad, we would of loved to see more from this game.
Fun game but too short! Wonky graphics.
We love puzzle games and this one fairs well. The scenes are old school comics which makes it fun. Puzzle games arent hard to find but fun ones are. This one gets our vote. Hope to see more.
We downloaded this game because we love the Faraway series from Snapbreak Games. It did not disappoint! This game is cute and clever with a unique premise, scenarios and characters. The graphics are colorful and humorous. The puzzles were sometimes a tad on the confusing side but in general the game was enjoyable. The only downside was that it was a little short but it was very inexpensive so Im not too disappointed by that.
Great mind benders. Worth every penny. Very cheap fun. We want more.
Skip puzzle function doesnt work. You watch the ad, and nothing happens. Also, the game is kind of dumb. Mostly super easy puzzles and then a random one that they give no explanation action in the room for so you have to skip it.
Not a bad game per se… Just WAY too short and easy. All right for beginners, we guess. Snapbreaks numerous Faraway games are beyond excellent, so it really makes us wonder why this one is so subpar.
Playing on an iPhone 7 running iOS 13.1.1 and hints dont play/run/show/work in this game and another SnapBreak game. All the Faraway games hints work and we love SnapBreak games so Im beyond disappointed.
Another hit! We just wish this one was longer. We finished pretty quickly. Good going! Looking forward to the next one.
8 free levels, then $2.99 for the other 7. Pretty good deal it seems to us if you like the game enough you can support the company. We thought it was terrific! We wish there were more female characters.
We rated this a 5/5 because it was so much fun. The puzzles actually made us think and we felt so satisfied when we figured them out. But, we were so disappointed when it took us to the shop to purchase more levels. :(.
Fairly simple, but still very fun. Well made and intuitive. Also, love the arrow to the knee reference in level 9. Made us chuckle.
This game is awesome. But now we finished it. Please give us more levels or a similar game. Great developer.
Really fun and cute game, well designed!! We never leave app reviews but we just really liked this game haha.
Im in our 30s and this was a little too easy. But fun and loved the graphics. Some sound announced, like have a cat meow or a dog bark on a loop nearly made us throw our phone across the room. Thank god for mute. Also the puzzles end up just being the same type of puzzle over and over and over and over again. They just switched the visuals. Id recommend it to teens probably. Was decent and worth the $3 for the VIP package.
Really like this game, but it took us like 2 hours to play and then we were done:-/.
The only flaw is that it is pay to win.
Game is fun. Id rather buy it than sit through 30 second commercials.
Its a cute and fun game thats easy to get into. Then you have to start paying as soon as you get into it. Im ok paying for additional levels, but there arent enough of them to start off.
Really great game and it's extremely fun, but once you beat level 8 you have to pay for all additional levels. That's complete crap.
Would have happily purchased the additional levels, but we blew through the first 8 in about 20 minutes. Game is too easy. Its a puzzle game for elementary kids, for sure, and we dont even think they would have much difficulty with it. It was billed as an Escape game, which we guess it technically is, but adults that enjoy escape games beware: this will not challenge you. Well made otherwise, so it gets three stars for quality alone. Need more challenge (considering its a puzzle game, after all) to encourage us to spend money on the full content. Also, side note: it has a Light Box puzzle – we HATE light box puzzles. Annoying and dumb. Some people probably enjoy them, and thats fine – just a heads up for people that feel as we do.
We paid $3 for the full game and managed to beat it in one setting. We feel pretty let down by the price tag.
We would give the game 5/5 stars, but after level 8 you must pay for the rest of the levels separately. As soon as we got past level 8 we just deleted the game because there wasnt any point to playing when we wasnt going to buy levels. Fun game, but we dont like the way you have to pay for a few levels, then pay for a few more after that…. It forces you to buy the big bundle if you want to play until the end.
Loved the game till level 9 when u asked to pay to play, should be like a weekly free map.
We clicked on the VIP pack which was supposed to give us all levels, hints, and no ads but all it gave us was no ads. Rip off.
You have to buy additional levels.
The first eight levels are great. But, the only way to play the last six are to buy them two at a time. Great way to trick people into HAVING to pay for it.
We purchased the rest of the game, seeing the extra lvls, they play through very quickly, and we were expecting more than this one job Fun, but you feel cheated with how little there is after purchase.
Why would you design a game that you only get to play the first few levels free and then have to buy levels for .99 each. It would be a fun game if you didnt have to pay to play it. We dont mind paying for an app or even for add on bonuses and things to be helpful but to actually have to pay for levels of a free game is beyond ridiculous.
This game would be amazing if it was complete and you didnt have to play the last half of the levels and if it was longer, its got good graphics and its fun to play but its a disappointing ploy for money.
This was a really fun game…until you find out that after level 8 you have to purchase the other levels. Um, yeah no. Sorry but no.
In-app options are one thing but to literally force you to pay to play is stupid. The game was fun, but we refuse to buy apps because they couldnt think of better ways to entice people to spend money. We dont have an issue with spending money, but you have to give more than 8 simple levels to get us hooked. Downloaded and then deleted within 10 minutes.
You get 8 levels for free, and it will cost you another $5 to buy the rest of the levels. The game is fun, but not hard at all and not worth the cost.
This game is free for little to no reason. You have to buy half of the game, and the rest of it is littered with ads. Very disappointed because its a good game.
Cool game. Lets you play 8 levels for free. Then tries to sell you 2 levels at a time and remove ads as separate purchases. Also it does not list the price. Your option is to buy and enter your payment info.
We agree with other reviewers, how you are charging for extra levels is a joke. You should charge one price for the rest of the levels or the whole game.
Only lets you play 8 levels then requires you to buy the rest of the levels.
Game is free with ads through level 8, no problem. Then you have yo buy each level separately. Total ripoff, dont bother.
Great game, just wish it had more than 15 levels.
We love this game. However, the shop wouldnt let us buy additional levels.
