The Academy: The First Riddle

…I couldn’t figure out the navigation at all, couldn’t get where I wanted to go. It just all seemed wonky and so hard to control. It’s strange because there are so many games on iPad where navigation is flawless and easy. But not this one. I just don’t want to deal with how frustrating it is. Sorry, dev, I tried.

Why is it that I still have ads? I purchased the game once and still had ads.. I requested a refund and bought it again, yet still ads???? What’s going wrong?

I glitched it and now I’m stuck in the basement

The most confounding puzzle of this game is why the devs aren't fixing it, but yet they have time to create more games. Trust me, I've tried to contact the devs, but no response. Nope, nada, nothin'.😑 This game has so many downsides that I’m deleting it. There are glitches, constant ads, typos in the dialogue, and I can’t even finish it! Sometimes the background disappears when I’m talking to someone and a few of the daily books are absolutely impossible to collect. Ads inevitably hit you every thirty seconds, and other players have paid for no ads and then still had ads. The dialogue needs to be checked out. I can’t even finish the game! I just run around with Ed and my clone in the dark tunnel! I am really disappointed. If the devs fix these issues, I’ll consider reinstalling, but they don't even seem to read these reviews anymore. But they're still making games!! Why won’t they fix this???😢 I love the gameplay and puzzles because The Academy is partly based on Professor Layton, the main reason why I got it. The next PL game isn’t coming out til 2025, so I’m just waiting here for yet another year in utter boredom… To whoever reads this, I hope this helps you make your decision!

This game was a lot of fun. I would love to play a sequel.

I play a lot of games on both my iPad and phone. I wanted to play this game on my iPad because it seem like it would be easier. However, it was not. I got so frustrated after a few days that I wound up deleting the game. Seemed like it had promise but I don’t feel like I’m really missing anything based on some of the reviews.

Hello guys! This was my favorite game EVER. I loved it so much! But once it told me to go to the basement I got stuck and there was another one of me. The highlighted object was stuck under the rocks and I couldn’t touch it. I really hope you can fix this. Thank you! 💋💋💋

So sad! Great game, but I’m trapped in the basement in the last chapter amidst rumble with with no way out due to a glitch. Right at the end too:(. I’m invested in the story and can’t finish it because of this glitch:( Given that I read review from a year ago about this same glitch, I unfortunately don’t expect this to be fixed any time soon. This game had so much potential.

The questions are very hard.

Good game, but could not get over how clunky the screen controls are. Controller support would be essential and the experience much much more enjoyable
