Going around in circles.

I didn’t know anything about this developer or what to expect from their game. Simplistically, the game design is like a “hallway” & you’re opening up “doors” on the right & left side — but, depending on what puzzles you’ve solved, what’s in the “rooms” change. Just because you’ve been there before doesn’t mean there isn’t something in there you need now. This is one big puzzle adventure game & it actually feels quite long. There are games I’ve played & if it can be beaten in a few hours, you feel ripped off. But not this game. It lasted me a week. & now that I know the quality game my $ buys, I’m happy to explore the rest of their catalog. The hint guide is really well done. If you’re stuck & just want to be pointed in the right direction, the titles give you a clue w/o spoiling the game. My only note is there’s a bug in the hot plate puzzle. I never set the dials. I added the ingredients, but never set the temperature & time. The msg wasn’t clear that I’d done it correctly, calling the mixture“slop.” I filled the sprayer expecting when I used it for the game to say “something when wrong, it wasn’t made correctly, etc.” But no. It worked.

Please keep making these games I love your company’s games truly I will purchase every game you make 😜😜😜😜

If you want to spend time with a game, this is it! Between the length, the story, the characters and the challenges it hit every mark for a great game! And it was fun to play! I probably achieved over 80% of the logic, but there was a hint system that went so far as to give the answers. I had played the previous games and look forward to their next! Kudos!

I just downloaded this game last night . It’s a hard game . I’m not good at figuring out clues ( I’m old) so maybe it’s me and not the game. But I’m enjoying it.

Just finished this. There’s a LOT of fun gameplay for the price. I got hooked on the story and had to keep playing until i got to the end. The art is charming. The writing is funny and fun. The puzzles are creative and challenging and go beyond the usual point-and-click fare in clever inventiveness. I got stuck sometimes, but they have a terrific hints page that gives you tiny bits of info before the full answer so you can still have the fun of working things out. Very much looking forward to playing the rest of their games. If you’re a fan of this genre, you should check this out.

This game was a bit hard at times and had to use the hint guide, but I really enjoyed it. I liked the story line and traveling through time. You can tell that a lot of thought, time, and effort was put into this game. If you like challenging games with humor, original storylines and gameplay then I would recommend this game. I am off to buy another one of their games, because I liked this one so much.

It’s a fun game, but unfinishable without help

loved every minute up until the alien keypad. i used the alien repellent to scare everyone away but when i try to approach the keypad, my alien friend still says there are too many four-legged behind me. when i turn around the field is completely empty. i messaged the developer through their website but didn’t hear back. :( still giving it four stars because i really liked the story and it’s been a long time since a point and click has challenged me without being totally illogical. i did use the hint system on their website a few times but the solutions always made sense (well, as much as p&c solutions ever make sense). the navigation was a bit confusing at first but i got the hang of it pretty quickly. i’m really disappointed that i didn’t get to see the ending but i still got hours of enjoyment out of it and i’m really looking forward to mysterycaper’s next game.

Having finished the game, I’ve edited my rating and review. (The navigation tripped me up throughout the game. The developer’s response made sense and I appreciate it, but I think muscle memory kept kicking in and I couldn’t remain aware of different navigation on different screens.) IN any case, I forgot how well written this developer’s games are and how humorous. =) They know you’re going to tap on everything and so everything does something and/or there’s a comment. The “puzzles” ranged from pretty clear to mind-bending. I used several hints and sometimes thought Doh!, other times wasn’t sure I would have figured it out. Def recommend. * * * I have played all of this developer’s previous games, so I bought this one immediately. I expect the content will be similarly excellent once I can stop being utterly confused about where I’m going. Touching the screen “ahead” might bring you ahead or it might turn you around. After playing for 10 minutes, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason and I had to stop playing.
