Machinika Museum for Negative User Reviews

✓ RipoffIf you were to just play this game for free well don’t bother downloading it because you only get 1 chapter to play.Jeaks1870Version: 1.07

✓ Great potential but not quite there yet.I had been waiting for full game for so long and feel like it didn’t meet expectations. As a fan of The Room I’m always on the lookout for similar. On the plus side the graphics and design are splendid. On the negative.....dialogue boxes (English translation is poor and should have been properly vetted before release)are often a waste of time. Anyone with any basic knowledge could work these out themselves (which is the point isn’t it?). If you leave halfway through a chapter you need to restart chapter, frustrating. Puzzles are all a bit simplistic but enjoyable. Game play short. Being positive, I would say game has room for improvement and could be excellent in the future. I would buy any future game..Hairy1965Version: 1.04

✓ Disappointing for the priceMuch too expensive for such a short and easy game.HireMeAsAWriterNextTimeVersion: 1.14

✓ Full of bugs and too easyReally great idea, but you should test it before you launch otherwise you get bad feedbacks... also puzzles are too easy, takes around 5 mins to clear the chapter. Also for some reason if you leave game you will start from the beginning of the chapter which is very annoying. Wouldn’t recommend, sorry.NarretVersion: 1.04

✓ Decent puzzles, WAY too expensiveNot a bad puzzle game but it’s a con price wise. I finished it in about 2 hours. There are many games that give far better puzzles and far longer gameplay for free. Not impressed and will be requesting a refund.Thrifty9345Version: 1.07

✓ Endoscopic Camera failure Chapter 2The buttons on the left of the camera (forward motion) will not work. Very disappointed as I had just paid for the whole game..Kirsty60Version: 1.03

✓ Good but expensive for such a short game!Enjoyable but way to short. The puzzles were not challenging enough and for the price I’d have expected more than this. It’s no good saying if you like ‘The Room’ games because they ARE challenging, beautiful games with a story line that flows well. Not happy at wasting my money on this. Wait until it’s on sale..TwnketwtiVersion: 1.06

✓ Am I that dumb?I was so excited to start a new mystery game. The graphics look awesome. Right out of the gate I collected the scissors which I’m supposed to drop onto the top of the box. But they won’t drop! I’ve tapped, double-tapped and turned and dragged and zoomed out. All I get is a dialogue box that says “A rather unremarkable pair of scissors.” Is this a bug or am I missing something?.PamalojoVersion: 1.06

✓ Not loading on Iphone 11 ios 14.4Game does not load on iphone 11 running ios 14.4.CorruptSnypahVersion: 1.02

✓ Too many bugsI’ve paid for this today and only got to chapter two and gave up and deleted, too many bugs which is frustrating as it just freezes on certain parts of the puzzle and you have to leave the chapter and resume and start from scratch. Not happy as wasted my money as chapter one went smoothly. Previous replies to these complaints say the bugs are fixed in the updates but as of the 11 May it doesn’t seem so. Shame as graphics and theme are great..Foomm2000Version: 1.06

✓ Not interested in your newsletterI chose this game because it does not have ads and is simply sold for a onetime price. Please stop doing this newsletter reminder junk..Boris.69Version: 1.14

✓ Good but too expensive for the small number of chaptersI was expecting a few more chapters for this price. Chapters are quite short too. Beautiful game and fun to play..PgregaVersion: 1.06

✓ It wants to be “The Room”, but its not … yetThis one is promising but needs to be longer. In addition, a couple of the puzzles were solved unintentionally as I was shifting between combinations of moves. Then the scene moved on before I could even see what I had done! Solving a puzzle by random chance is not at all satisfying. The graphics and sound are good; up to the standards of “The Room”, but the scenarios and actual game play are a bit “weak” and just not there yet. I would prefer more depth, and seven brief chapters are really too short for the money paid. I am not sure I would buy in to the sequel (whenever it shows up)..Rabrit53Version: 1.06

✓ Damaged goodsI was so frustrated because I can’t get anything to work. I checked online and I’m doing everything that I should but the image does not respond the way it should. Ruined a perfectly good game. I really would have given it 5 stars if it had actually worked. I gave it a better review before but now will have to delete it and lose $4.99. Thanks for nothing. This apparently does not work well on iPad. Made it to chapter 3 and the scroll went blank with only colored dots and no way to reboot it. Have never heard anything from developers. Shame on you..Qwe976Version: 1.12

✓ Good but far too shortThe game has a good concept, however the puzzles are a little too simple to resolve, some can be completed easily by trial and error. In any case for the price I would have expected the game to last a little longer and I completed the game in just under 2hrs on and off. Looks like there will be more chapters in the future, but my guess will be you will have to pay more for them. So a little disappointed..Diavolucci72Version: 1.06

✓ Could be a great game....Will probably never find out. Fed up having to restart a chapter every time I “ pause” or save. Next time it restarts from start of chapter and not where I stopped. Must be my fault missing the right settings as I am sure no designer would do this deliberately ?.C.g.rantVersion: 1.04

✓ If you have to payThis game should not be listed as free! You can only do one puzzle and then have to pay $6.99 to continue. That said, it appears interesting and at another time I may purchase..LinnoLoVersion: 1.12

✓ A Bit on the Short SideWhile the game was enjoyable to play, I found the puzzles were not as challenging as they could be. The game is beautiful but maybe a bit short for the price..Ms. ReindeerVersion: 1.07

✓ Gorgeous graphics, but...Despite its great graphics, sadly this didn’t meet expectations - the puzzles are all very easy, and you can sail through the seven levels in no time at all. A great game for inexperienced puzzlers. I hope the sequel is a bit more demanding....MikekwasVersion: 1.04

✓ A good and compelling little game.And I do mean “little”. It’s very short, and I finished it in about 3 hours. Machinika Museum is a good example of that very particular “The Room” style item puzzle games. But there are some issues. Most pressingly, it’s very easy to soft-lock oneself, necessitating quitting to the menu and restarting in order to reset a puzzle. And speaking of puzzles, a lot of them are based on...Nothing. No clues, no hints, nothing to uncover or think through. Your only bet is brute force trial-and-error, which sort of makes sense within the game’s context, but is still frustrating and not at all fun. Given the ending, I expect we’ll see a sequel in the future, and I look forward to it. As long as the devs listen to the community..Chandler FrantzVersion: 1.06

✓ DisappointedI really liked the game and bought the full version. I now can’t play the final chapters because it’s saying I didn’t pay when I did and have the proof I paid. Wasted my money.Not happy! Dont get itVersion: 1.14

✓ Fun but too short!Looks great, plays great, sounds great but after playing other games in this genre, this game is way too easy and short for the hefty price tag..OmghowcaneverynamebetakenVersion: 1.06

✓ Bit over priced for such a quick gameThe game was fun, but doesn’t last too long which in my opinion does not reflect the price. The ending was really odd and the graphics were quite jumpy. Would need to improve quite a lot for me to buy the next version.Dfw666Version: 1.07

✓ Beautiful but shortI love these types of puzzles! I had so much fun playing it I never even hesitated to buy the game. I recommend that you do though. Four dollars for a game that takes a couple hours to beat it just seems a bit ridiculous. Know if there is more coming soon and I just have to wait and I don’t have to pay more money than that’s great but if I have to pay to play the next parts it’s totally not worth it. It deserves five stars for the quality and integrity of the game itself I would give those two stars back if there was more to the game that I don’t have to pay anything additional for..LoRouxeVersion: 1.07

✓ TOO SHORTThis game was ok but not worth it. Too expensive for such a short game..Captn GVersion: 1.07

✓ Another time waste demoDon’t waste your time downloading this it’s not worth it it’s only a demo of the first level which you can complete In five minutes if you take your time, I wish they would tell you it’s only a demo but obviously it’s attached to try and get you to pay money to buy the full game not happening happening.Mick-UK1100Version: 1.07

✓ Good but too short for the moneyPuzzles are relatively easy for an experienced player so I got through the game more quickly that I thought reasonable given the price. I saw comparisons to The Room in other reviews. It is not as complex or long as those games..MontroseMadVersion: 1.06

✓ Started off loving the puzzles...But, somethings not right! They are all way, way too easy - you end up completing the game in about a few hours (if you play slowly, like I do, without cheating yourself even more with a walkthrough), and wonder if it was worth it? I waited ages for this game, had high hopes for it based on playing the first chapter a couple of years ago! I have to warn other players that ultimately it will disappoint you! The chapters don’t really flow either and the controls are not really perfect and neither is the game save system, which is why you’ll probably want to play it in one go, otherwise end up losing your progress and starting the chapter from the beginning! If only Machinika Museum didn’t feel so incomplete! If only the puzzles had a bit of an edge! If only there was something challenging in it.... it really would have been note-worthy..Amanda£00000Version: 1.05

✓ Cannot have full gameI bought the game but when i finish the second level it say i have to buy the game. your last update did not fix the purchase button..BbwloverxxxVersion: 1.05

✓ Can’t play again without paying againStarted the trial and thought it looked worth paying for the full version so I did. The game was great. Unfortunately when I went back to replay it, I found only the trial part is working and I’m expect to pay the quite hefty fee again to replay the full game, which seems completely ridiculous. Worth the money to play again and again maybe. But definitely a rip off for a single play.Homeslice74Version: 1.14

✓ TrapKind of trap not showing payment for the game, until roll down, beware players.LyaiolioVersion: 1.14

✓ No save game in new chapters. Ugh.I love this game and was happy to replay it from the beginning in order to access the new chapters. Up till then it was a 5 star game. But since reaching chapter 7 it no longer saves my progress. I had to play chapter 7 twice and now I’ve played chapter 8 three times and, once again, it’s lost my progress and is starting me back at the beginning of the chapter. All I did was get up to make a cup of tea. Ugh. This is ruining the fun. I hope the devs will update and fix this glitch. For now, I’m exhausted and am putting the game away. Let me know if and when it gets fixed..SuzshoVersion: 1.12

✓ App doesn’t openThe game doesn’t load.Elizabethcatherine_Version: 1.02

✓ Hard to read certain objectsI’m enjoying it so far… but some of the objects have text which is hard to read on a phone screen. The devs need to make it possible to zoom in further, or provide a more tea ale ‘transcript’ of the text as other similar games do. I ended up screen grabbing certain parts just so I could zoom in - not helpful..StotfoldVersion: 1.06

✓ Too easy for the priceLike a lot of other people have said, paying $7 for a game that is finished in a day is ridiculous, the sequel better be free.Chefwest007Version: 1.07

✓ Please readAnyone that would like to play this game, I warn everyone, the first level is free, but to proceed it cost $7, now after the first level I actually enjoyed the concept, gameplay and puzzles… but beware there are only 7 levels and I completed it in one day, now for a game that is 550mb download it which also costs us money, I feel RIPPED OFF…..RaintonhastieVersion: 1.07

✓ DécevantTrès beaux graphiques, mais il n’y a pas de sauvegarde dans les chapitres, alors il faut toujours recommencer au début si l’on veut quitter. Autre problème, au chapitre 3, si l’on veut tourner les vis c’est impossible parce que les boutons entre conflit avec les items. Je ne recommande pas ce jeu pour toutes ces raisons..Christiane 2Version: 1.05

✓ DisappointedAs a fan of games like “the Room” I purchased this in the hope of a similar puzzle adventure but after buying and then completing it in an hour or so, i have to say I’m a little disappointed, good concept but I expect a bit more game for my money..Froggy8321Version: 1.07

✓ Chapter 3 is brokenOn trying to get into the new machine with the mini camera it will not work. I have watched a cheat online and there appears to be nothing I am doing is wrong but the camera will not enter so I am stuck. Please fix this as it’s such a good game and I want to continue.Suzysue44Version: 1.04

✓ Very nice puzzle but buggyI really like the puzzles. They are just hard enough to make me think through things but easy enough to keep me from getting frustrated. The program is a bit buggy. There are times where you get stuck and can’t maneuver around the puzzle. I have to keep trying to scroll out get it to function properly again..Schuess60Version: 1.07

✓ Fun but…You get about 5 minutes of playing time, doing 2 tasks and then you have to buy the game to continue so I wouldn’t download unless you’re gonna buy it cause there isn’t much to do in the demo.HccbnkokebgthbVersion: 1.07

✓ Mechinical museumSuperbes intrigues qui nous font travailler les méninges... juste TRÈS dommage que l'on doive payer pour un jeu qui ne dure que si peu de temps... J'espère que nous serons pas obligé de payer la suite!!!.Francine988Version: 1.07

✓ A bit quick!Downloaded this hoping that it might keep me entertained on my one week holiday. Finished it in just a few hours before I even set off! Good graphics but the puzzles were really rather easy and many followed similar patterns. Fun to play but sadly over and done with far too quickly..DocOnCallVersion: 1.06

✓ Looks promising, but is unplayable on iPad Pro with controller/mouseThis looks promising. The imagery and lighting/mood are great looking. The trouble is that it is unplayable on iPad Pro when using a controller or mouse. I have a iPad Pro 12.9”. With the large screen it is much like a monitor and I like to use a contoller rather than touchscreen when gaming. For most games this works well. I tried using my MFI Bluetooth controller (SteelSeries Nimbus) but the controls are backwards, or mapped to the wrong buttons, and don’t allow use of the game interface. I tried it with a standard USB mouse, but I ran into similar issues. I kept getting an error message “Controller unplugged - Plug the controller back in or click to play with mouse.” I tried multiple combinations, but nothing worked. I ended up turning off the controller and unplugging the mouse. The game itself is interesting. I did have to drop the scissors on the cardboard box many time before it triggered the opening process. Please update for proper controller/mouse usage on iPads..Billmack in SCVersion: 1.04

✓ Excellent but a little shortExcellent game. Great graphics. Puzzles are interesting. Just a little short for the money compared to other games.BerryskudVersion: 1.06

✓ Don’t be fooled by the look of the graphicsThis game while similar in many ways to games like The Room series. This lacks ingenuity, storyline, and has several bugs it still needs to fix. Like one in particular is the overlapping of inventory line to gameplay causing gamers to have to restart chapters to set puzzles straight. This happened to me twice. Very frustrating! The storyline tells of nothing but a stack of boxes. How boring! Locks are clever so I did give taps for that..Beanolee9Version: 1.06

✓ ?It seems like it would be a cool game but idk because after like 2 minutes it asks you to pay. Maybe if you let people experience the game a little more they’d buy it?.Lara354686Version: 1.06

✓ AnnoyedPlaying on IOS. Asks me to drop the scissors I can’t even figure out how to do that..ChaseHQ.0Version: 1.05

✓ StuckWhen you are stuck, the game becomes a bore..LuckyfunhappyVersion: 1.07

✓ Good, but shortIt’s a good game, but much too short for the price. No hint system if you get stuck. I had a problem with one scene when in close up I couldn’t access a couple of buttons that had to be slid into position as they were covered up by the inventory. Had to restart the chapter. Also, on a couple of occasions if I exited the game it made me restart the chapter from the beginning, not where I left off. Didn’t like the unfinished ending..MissMarpoleVersion: 1.04

✓ Progress not saved - frustratingThe game is really quite good - I’m a fan of puzzle games. But I won’t continue to play as it doesn’t save as I progress. I don’t want to start the same chapter over and over . Please give us the option to save progress as we go - then I will resume..**lillipilli**Version: 1.03

✓ Not happyFirst of all, I would like to say that the two stars is only for the beautiful art and great play through. That’s the only good thing about this. After chapter one you get to unlock the first alien object and then the app wants you to pay for it. I had the game for about 10 minutes and then deleted it..DaddysthiccbishVersion: 1.07

✓ Somewhat wasted potential?This wording is probably a bit harsh, but it's the only way I can think of to describe the game. Pros: Great visuals Smooth control scheme A couple of interesting game mechanic ideas Noticeably awesome sound design Pretty simple and mostly linear puzzler if that's what you're looking for Lets you try the game first before purchasing, even if the price is slightly high for the relatively small amount of content Cons: Pretty simple and linear if you're looking for more of a challenge; took only about an hour or so to finish. Surprisingly buggy, most of which caused softlocks (would lock you in place and not allow you to alter your view or interact with anything, were fixed by returning to menu. Occurred a handful of times across multiple chapters). Others were usually visual bugs, such as a clue being obscured by your inability to view it due to the object intentionally altering in size and shape as you progressed. Not a whole lot of content, plenty of other games offer far, far more for the same price. With some more fleshed out puzzles and far less linearity (and cleaning up some of the bugs), I'd be very interested to see a potential follow-up or something. But if you're looking to buy one of these types of games, this is an average option, not at all bad but there are better options in my opinion..McL.Version: 1.07

✓ Not even close the room..way easy, way boringThe graphics are good and the mechanics work but other than that not much good to say. The story is boring but what's worse is the game play. The puzzles are linear and very, very easy in my opinion (especially for fans of games like "The Room" or House of Davinci"). Not one puzzle will cause you to scratch your head. It was more difficult figuring out hour to unlock a puzzle that the actual puzzle. This game had potential as I liked the idea of having special tools to help you but the execution was very poor. Definitely not worth any money to play....waste of $1.99 and 40 min of my life..L2thaizzo3kVersion: 1.06

✓ Would be 5 stars but…I bought this game to play on a long flight. I absolutely love puzzle box / escape room type experiences. After playing the tiny “demo” that is free, I went ahead and purchased the full game and started playing in the terminal. I got three chapters in (which isn’t far at all) with no problems. After getting on the plane and getting into the air, I turned the game back on and I was greeted with a “purchase the full game” message when I clicked continue. This game, after buying it, requires you to be online or will deny you access to the offline game you paid for. This is a terrible way to treat paying customers for game that has no online elements to the game play. I’m currently requesting a refund through apple as the game was unplayable when I needed it. That aside, the gameplay is fun though I’d suggest less messages to the player that are more helpful than they should be. Id recommend the game but I can’t recommend anyone support this anti-consumer behavior..ManMadeHumanVersion: 1.12

✓ Too shortThe game was a lot of fun, but too short. For $3.99, I was expecting a longer game, I beat it a couple hours after I downloaded it. It end on a “to be continued” and I’m hoping I won’t have to pay another $3.99 for that one. The controls themselves were also slightly wonky, zooming in and out wasn’t very smooth and control over movement around the puzzles was slightly hindered. These were the reasons for the 2 star deduction. ***The game itself is very fun, intriguing story, cool graphics with moderately difficult puzzles that I had fun solving.*** I feel like I’d pay $.99 a chapter if there are indeed going to be 7 chapters as the game hints at, but $3.99 per chapter is too much for a mobile game that takes 2 hours to beat..AwishfulthinkerVersion: 1.07

✓ See belowDoesn’t work properly.Waterbortle64Version: 1.02

✓ Too short to judgeDid I enjoy this? With only the tutorial and one puzzle (a very simple one at that) before the paid content begins I didn’t feel as though there was enough content for me to judge whether it was worth spending money on more content..Cest Moi 64Version: 1.07

✓ Fun game but …It’s fun but all they want is your money. You only get one chapter and it isn’t that long and then your prompted to buy the whole game. You want people to play this make all chapters playable when you download it then ask for money for special items. Money grubbing asshats.LiddlemorgVersion: 1.07

✓ Not bad. Needed a lot more time in the ovenAs a concept, it’s pretty good. A lot of disbelief has to be suspended to make some of the puzzles make sense (eg aliens using the English alphabet and making there security crackable by an moron with an iPhone) but that’s fine. The controls, however are bad, especially when it comes to rotating things. The iPhone notch obscures the inventory. And it is waaaaay too easy to click on the wrong thing. These seem rather easy to fix and the fact that they were not is disappointing..SamSBDVersion: 1.14

✓ Bug please fixOn level eight I can not access the door please thanks.Brookie_ChanVersion: 1.12

✓ Won’t openGame won’t open on iPhone 11 Pro Max iOS 14. Just hangs on loading screen then Crashes..Nates got gameVersion: 1.02
