Rusty Lake Hotel for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not as good as the free gamesI’ve played all the free games so finally tried this paid game. While I think the game is worth the small cost, it’s somewhat disappointing. The logic puzzles in “hotel” seem simpler and more straightforward than in the free games. What’s frustrating is how much the ordering of events is relevant to getting a top score. The result is that beating the game involves a lot of rote repetition to order your actions optimally. This makes the game last longer but at a cost of tedium, particularly because the ordering is arbitrary and not clued in any way. In particular there’s at least one instance (2nd guest meal if done in correct order) where an item is required twice in order to get a perfect score - but one of the two actions makes the item unusable. So those two actions have to be done twice, for no reason other than arbitrary choice. (If the item remaine available to be picked up again, ordering wouldn’t matter.).Zingo curmudgeonVersion: 1.2

✓ I’ve liked the others...This one is non-sensical in terms of some of the ingredients. You have to just get lucky by not solving the puzzles quickly and instead wasting time doing things aimlessly hoping something works (like the tomatoes or blackberries). Also annoying is having to restart from the beginning if you miss something (like putting the knife in the ... as opposed to the ... first). If it weren’t for these issues, I’d have enjoyed it as much as the others. As it stands, it’s pretty frustrating..CarissaBrynVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Too shortFor a paid game way too short.OldmetcalfeVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Can’t progress in Mr. Rabbit’s roomI cannot for the life of me get the key from his mouth. I’m clicking on his head over and over and it’s just not popping out. I can’t go any further in the game without the key. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but if this is a bug, I’d like to know how to get around it. I’m going to try to redo this room but I have a feeling I’m going to have to redo the whole game. :(.EringeekVersion: 1.4

✓ Great games, but don’t play music when on silent plsI open the app in a quiet place and I just starts making noise despite phone being on silent.JetSetAdamVersion: 1.4

✓ Strange...Strange...why? Because this paid version isn't quite as good as the free Rusty Lake Cube series. True, there's 5 rooms to visit in this version (you can't really count the final room - Mr Owl's room - because it simply completes the story and doesn't do much else) but there's about 6 free versions which you can work through and which are more 'scary' than this paid-for version. Also, there's a number of silly spelling mistakes in the text. I'm guessing that English isn't the developers first language and it's excusable when the app is free, but, when you pay for it, you have an expectation that it would be checked thoroughly before release. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game, it's quite enjoyable but you do end up wondering why you paid for it when all the others (which are slightly better) are free. Perhaps the developers haven't done themselves any favours by releasing so many free apps. Recommendation? Download the free Rusty Lake Cube series. You might want to purchase this afterwards - and perhaps you should if only as a thank you to the developers for giving so much away for free..P-casVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Keeps resetting in Mr boars room:(.JexxMusicVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Sadly less fun than Cube EscapeI really enjoyed Cube Escape - Birthday which was excellent (and free!) so I was really looking forward to this one... However I found the "humour" in this one a bit puerile...but the puzzles are quite fun so worth it overall. The pricing reflects the length of the game..Cox’s PippinVersion: 1.1.3

✓ BugsSome objects eg wet plate disappear for no reason which means room can not be completed without reset and having to go back to the beginning. You have to be telepathic to do some puzzles. Disappointing..62WolsVersion: 1.2

✓ Pretty good, but not sure it is worth the moneyFirst of all, the fact that you cannot reset individual s croons of this game is extremely irritating, I had to start over three or four times to get all of the stars. That being said: This game gives some interesting background to the other Rusty Lake games, but it is not much longer than some of the free ones (yet it costs). It also seemed a bit repetitive. Still a good game, I enjoyed playing it, just not up to Rusty Lake’s usual standard..IndyRickVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Fun, but incredibly frustratingI love the rusty lake series and I have for years, and while this game has good puzzles it also manages to be my least favorite game in the series. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very fun, but it’s also incredibly infuriating that if you do things in the wrong order (with no indication of what the right order is) then you lose the possibility of getting all three stars on a recipe. I end up just being frustrated, because I have to restart the whole game just because I forgot one tiny little thing—I have Mr Deer’s room just about memorized because of it. This could easily be fixed by just allowing the replay of the current room, instead of needing to replay the whole game..OiledmushroomsVersion: 1.4

✓ Redoing rooms is confusingIf you miss a clue and do the rooms out of order it seemed there is no way to recover and get all the stars unless you restart from the beginning, but you added the ability to replay a room. It’s confusing, however, when you get an "optional" ingredient and it says “it’s too late”. It seems like it ignores the ingredient but it actually adds it to the recipe and appears if you redo that room. You should change that message and flow to show that it is saved and you can use it to redo the room..PevensenVersion: 1.4

✓ Impossible puzzlesSome of the puzzles are just not at all hinted, which makes the game less challenging from a puzzling perspective, and more challenging from just trying things non sense..CaioToonVersion: 1.2

✓ Kinda revoltingThe puzzles are great but the whole concept is kinda revolting. I find all the Rusty Lake games pretty gruesome but this one is a bit much. I’m not sure I’ll bother finishing it..MalpassetVersion: 1.2

✓ Pass on this garbageDownload The Silent Age and then you'll appreciate a good point and click adventure game..SzarkyVersion: 1.1.3

✓ To be continuedThe game was too short, I didn’t know that you have to pay to continue + at the end of the game there are many keys that you need to put in the right order, I wasn’t sure about that so I decided to leave it for later but then you are not able to come back and the game finishes. I love Rusty Lake that’s why I decided to spend my first salary on one of their games but I wasn’t expecting this, very disappointed 🙁.SoffurioVersion: 1.4

✓ I can't even open the app.I purchased the app today, but I can't even open or play the game. There's absolutely no problem with my device since I got it from yesterday. Please fix the bug of this app or I want refund..:)SSSVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Something wrong hereHave to agree this game is disappointing after the cube series. I found the format frustrating as you cannot save and was forced to restart from the beginning several times. I concluded that the game has bugs as it did a few strange things such as going completely dark and unresponsive. Also it did not give me some of the ingredients to indicate the sequence and this is important to complete the game as intended. Overall I was less than impressed with this paid for experience and hope the next ones are an improvement..LizardfeaturesVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Need to be able reset singular levels instead the entire game!In some levels, like the second, items are required twice but can only be used once. For example, in the second level, if you use the knife on the hand to get the ring without first getting the white beans, because it’s not obvious at first sight, then you have to reset the entire game. Part of the fun of the other games is the trial and error. It becomes tedious to have to replay entire levels for the sake of perfect scores..RagedeletedVersion: 1.4

✓ Disgusting gameWhy not at least explain this is about slaughtering animals before I waste my money. I have no interest in playing a game like this..Bored again 3Version: 1.1.3

✓ Great series, too shortAfter playing the rest for free, I assumed this being a paid version would be longer and more complex. It wasn't, I enjoyed seasons far more than this one..Mr.kippsVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Not worth the moneyUnfortunately this paid for game isn’t as good as the free games. I’d put this on the same level at Harvey’s box in terms of quality. The game is a bit boring, fewer puzzles than usual, most are easy and repetitive, although some are obscure (mainly the optional ingredients puzzles). I wouldn’t recommend this game..A_TavernVersion: 1.2

✓ Moth BugFirst night with Mr Deer you need to catch the moth with a glass jar. I know this because I had to lookup a walkthrough after 30 minutes of clicking everything on the screen. (That’s the main problem with this genre of games) No matter how fast I try to be, the moth always flies away the moment I press the window to “zoom in” on it. This leaves me unable to catch the moth, meaning unable to go any further. Nothing like trying to digress at the end of the day, only to have a small mobile game slightly stress you out..DelewarewolfVersion: 1.4

✓ Fun but can get stuckIt's a great game with fun puzzles but on at least 2 levels if u don't do the activities in the correct order u get stuck and have to reset and start over..Funbabe78Version: 1.1.3

✓ Very glitchyUsed it on an ipad pro with ipados 13.3. At various points in the game, things either didn’t work (couldn’t fill the still with water or the butterfly display didn’t work or the app blacked out). Can you fix please?.Sobercounsel1Version: 1.2

✓ Good but not greatI finished all of the free cube game series and decided to buy this one, with the intention of buying the other premium ones as well. While Rusty Lake Hotel has the hallmark of the Cube games and the puzzles are good, I felt that some of the free ones were better, like seasons, paradox. Better in terms of being more challenging. I had expected the paid one to be a little bit more I guess..Sush_iVersion: 1.2

✓ Annoying to ResetI found it frustrating to have to reset or replay to get all the optional ingredients if not properly found (e.g. blackberries on pigeon level). Couldn’t seem to get them after chick was released. Should be able to reset a specific level without having to restart from the beginning. Should have option to always find what’s needed before leaving room. On iPad it automatically left room once meat was found. No point in having exit door if you can’t use it. Puzzles were good though..Tom-OkVersion: 1.2

✓ Bugs and redoI loved the Rusty Lake Roots, so I bought this one without reading reviews - big mistake. Like others have said, it’s not worth the money...for the same reasons others have said. Problem 1: You cannot reset a level/room, only the entire game. Why is that a big deal? Well, let me introduce you to Problem 2: If you don’t complete the puzzles in the precisely correct order, the game won’t let you beat the level/room. So, basically, the thing that makes these puzzle games fun is the trial and error of working the puzzle until you figure it out - but in this game, if you don’t do it right the first time, you can’t ever solve it and you have to reset the entire game. So, that leads to Problem 3: in the first level/room of Mr. Deer, if you don’t figure out catching the moth the first time...you have to reset. In the second level/room of Mr. Rabbit, if you don’t figure out the cup puzzle, you have to rest the whole game which means you have to redo the intro, Mr Deer, AND everything you already did in Mr. Rabbit’s room. Then, there is Problem 4: there is a bug in Mr Rabbits room - the cup puzzle will not give me the eyes - and I’ve reset 4 times!!!! Oh, and you won’t know you’ve done a puzzle wrong until you watch the walk through...stupid..HulpyVersion: 1.1.3

✓ So much potential...I used the knife to get the ring in the rabbits room too soon. I'm unable to get it back and I have to start the whole game all over again....Good times232Version: 1.1.3

✓ Really hardThe 5th room is so hard i can’t even beat it with a tutorial also I don’t like how you can’t leave the room unless you beat the room the game is pretty good anyways.The eas alarmVersion: 1.4

✓ First Rusty Lake failI am a big fan of the Rusty Lake puzzles, but Hotel is the first "premium" game I tried / paid for, and unfortunately the first with a significant bug. I solved the first room, Mr Deer, without any trouble, but I missed the rosemary and didn't realize that it would affect the number of stars earned. (Suggestion: instead of calling ingredients "optional" maybe let players know that it's desirable by adding a star on the menu page.) I reset the game so I could go back and get the rosemary - the game restarted but then will not progress beyond the opening sequence and The Lobby. I tried resetting several times, even deleted and reinstalled the app, but the same problem every time - the game is stuck in the opening Lobby. I deliver the local delicacy to the guests, and then - nothing. The phone doesn't ring and the game will not progress. And no way to get help from the developer, unless I leave a negative review like this. I regret buying this game..Mike in RomeVersion: 1.2

✓ One Big ProblemI have played most of the Rusty Lake games and I have loved all of them and that includes this one. The thing is that there is one thing that is starting to REALLY annoy me. I’d you want all three stars you need to get all three of the ingredients. That isn’t the problem though. The problem is that if you miss something such as the white wine or blueberries you have to restart the WHOLE GAME. I am only on the first game and I’ve had to restart 4 times. At this point it ain’t even enjoyable having to go through rooms you’ve already done 3 times. It is a really good game but this problem is infuriating and I wish there was a way to go back to a certain point or even just reset one room and not the whole game..Black&Blue333Version: 1.4

✓ Option IngredientsWhat I don't like is that the game boots you out of the room as soon as you succeed instead of giving you the chance to look around for optional ingredients. There's a door to exit why force us? I stopped playing because of this as I didn't want to have to reset all my progress just coz of this silly bug..BeeettthhhVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Good gameplay but many bugsThe gameplay and story are great, but I’m getting seriously frustrated at the fact that theres no option to just restart a single level. the game doesn’t force you (or even hint sometimes) to do things in the correct order, so if you don’t you have no choice but to start all the way from the beginning. not to mention items disappear from my inventory when I leave the app for a bit, which means I have to restart AGAIN just to get those items back and advance to the next level. I feel like giving up at this point, I’m only on the third room and I’ve already restarted three times. please fix this..AnimeburgerVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Tedious isn’t more challenging.I loved the 10 Cube Escape games. Everything about them. I was expecting more of the same and happily paid for Hotel, but the developers made some design decisions that simply make the gameplay tedious and more time consuming, but not necessarily more challenging. It’s frustrating to know what you need to do and ultimately realize you didn’t do it “enough” times. Or to have to reset the game to backtrack. I can appreciate the need to evolve their style but this is nowhere near as good as the free games..ThePhwnerVersion: 1.1.3
