The Guides for Negative User Reviews

✓ Simple brain teasers submerged in pseudo-mysteryThe puzzles are all about finding patterns, ignoring red herrings, and using ridiculously simple cyphers like Morse, ASCII, or substitutions. The graphics and music are plain, and the gameplay frustrating (the UI is painful to use in spite of the limited number of actions available). If there wasn't any competition this game night have captured my attention, but with The Room, Monument Valley, Gorogoa and others out there, this game is behind the pack, and not worth spending any more time on..ENumer8Version: 1.5

✓ Stuck in a bugThis game is really hard but fun to solve. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a math problem, easy to solve but the game won't accept the right answer... Need an update....LibridanVersion: 1.2

✓ Watch out!I just purchased it thinking it was 50% off as stated and got charged the full £1.58. Not cool..Damp EarsVersion: 1.0

✓ BuggyAgree with other reviewer bsdug... I tried to input an answer and it didn't accept it leading me to think I was wrong and I got so frustrated I consulted the interwebs only to realize I was correct. So now every couple of levels I have to close and restart the game so that it will acknowledge my input. It's pretty annoying and indeed detracts from the experience. Nice game but execution gives it a fail rating until fixed..HdbekVersion: 1.0

✓ Not as good as first thoughtStarts of well but then the puzzles have no logic to them and the clues may as well not be there. Also a couple of the puzzles had glitches so the answer could only be sought by looking it up; some of which also said they didn’t know why it was the answer either. Nice try and concept but only got up to 3.2 then quit..TonyThackrayVersion: 1.7

✓ TerribleI really don't like this game! It doesn't give you instructions, it just throws you into a bunch of puzzles that don't make sence!!!.TellytobyVersion: 1.0

✓ A WASTE MONEY!SO YET AGAIN REVIEWS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT TO ENTICE PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD THIS! IGNORE THOSE GOOD REVIEWS! I WANT A REFUND! I LOVE PUZZLE GAMES BUT THIS ONE IS JUST RIDICULOUS! THE FIRST IMPOSSIPUZZLE HAS TWO CIRCLES ( ONE BROWN THE OTHER RED) THAT YOU CAN'T MOVE AND NUMBERS 1-3 THAT ALTERNATE BROWN, RED, BROWN NUMBERS 4 AND 5 ARE BOTH RED AND 6 IS RED. THERE IS ALSO A RED LINE AT THE FAR LEFT OF THE ROW OF NUMBERS BY THE EDGE OF THE SCREEN THAT ALSO CAN NOT BE MOVED. THERE IS NO WAY OF COMPLETING IT! I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! I WANT A REFUND!.Bradley BaumVersion: 1.0

✓ Utter garbage.Absolute waste of money. Don't even bother. It's a useless piece of crap. If I could give it 0 Stars I would have..SpearmintOwlVersion: 1.3

✓ Not for meAbsolutely terrifying if you don’t have a logical techy brain (me). I couldn’t make head nor tail of it. I’m sure it’s great if you’re into that sort of thing though..Tallo BooVersion: 1.7

✓ Awful/refundI read the description and thought wow this is a game I would really enjoy it's gonna be so fun well no it is terrible and I want a refund.[{¥¥€€££~~££€€¥¥}]Version: 1.3

✓ I'm Color BlindAnother game that relies on colour, whilst forgetting that some people have trouble seeing color. please don't do this..ThelogsterVersion: 1.0

✓ Enjoyable, until puzzles lack sufficient signpostingI was really enjoying this, it’s very reminiscent of the classic online riddle games of 15+ years ago. Then, I found myself having to look up the answer for 2-5, and felt a bit cheated. As far as I can tell, there was no indication that that was what I had to do, although I forgave it as perhaps I should have noticed it, given the context of previous clues. Moving on to section 3, I found more of these situations, with a ton of red herrings thrown in for good measure (although I have given up on the game now, I don’t know if these will get referenced again somewhere down the line). The final step of 3-13, having looked up what I was supposed to do, was enough for me to lose all trust that solutions are adequately signposted. The answer requires a final transformational step which isn’t vaguely hinted at anywhere, and you couldn’t possibly know that that was what to do unless you spotted it by chance or had looked it up. The problem with this is that I believe to solve future puzzles, I’m reduced to just trying everything out until I stumble across something that works..RobswsVersion: 1.7

✓ Keeps restartingThought this was a great game but if I change to another app then return it restarts so now I’m not enjoying it so much..Lcw5Version: 1.7

✓ Original puzzler but let down at the endSomething a bit different here which is refreshing, but pretty sure that one of the clues contains a typo which throws you off at the end. I was bored by that point anyway and it felt like the developer was too!.LizardfeaturesVersion: 1.0

✓ Flawed puzzle!I thought at last I have found a challenging game and gladly payed for it only to find that there is an issue with section 2 puzzle 7 which is preventing me from continuing, I have checked with various cheat sites to make sure I am not just stuck but there is definitely a problem. I have emailed the developers but had no response. Not happy!.Joolsc33Version: 1.7

✓ Text extremely small on iPhoneIt wouldve been ok if you didnt need it to solve the puzzle but its just really tiny on iphone.VerrryygooodVersion: 1.0

✓ RotationDidn’t it support rotation and split screen before? Pretty sure I had notability at one side and this at the other, now it’s portrait only and no splitscreen. Most annoying..MarkLeedsUKVersion: 1.7
