They don’t make them like this anymore
Like for real. MadHead Games has moved onto to bigger pastures, exiting mobile games and ending some of the best titles, including this one. Nice long game, involved and clever. One of three with the Alice/Belle/Pierre storyline. I will miss MH and its innovative approach to mobile games.
Long gameplay
Very enjoyable - long gameplay & without spoiling the game for anyone the bonus game starts of with a bang as well!
Better than the first
So, everyone but me adored the first installment in this series. I didn’t hate it, but too few mini games, and seriously repetitive gameplay. This one upped the ante. Some repetitiveness, like the several storybooks where you find two symbols at a time. But otherwise very original. The mini games are not as many as I’d like, but boy, the ones they have are awesome! Multilayered puzzles, that I like figuring out on my own, but if you’re stuck or want more instruction, that’s available as well. Just like the first Nevertales, the extras are impressive. You can go back and find any collectibles you’ve missed after the game. Finding all of them opens the Red Heart Casino. There you can play Solitaire 2 ways, Blackjack, Forklift games, the Target game again, and an infinite version of Gears avoiding obstacles as he flies up the tower. Then, if you get 500+ points in the Casino, you get access to a large jigsaw puzzle. Throughout the game, in addition to collectibles in each scene, you also find morphing objects in each Hop. After the game and bonus game are played, you can replay the hops to collect any morphing objects you missed, and also get 3 stars in every hop (which you get an achievement for.) The only achievement I missed was to look at every note. I did good early on, but once the action becomes intense, and I don’t need to refer to the notes to know what to do, I stopped looking. Unfortunately you cannot go back and look at the notes after the game, so make sure you look at all of them in-game, if you want that achievement. Overall a nice riff on Alice through the looking glass, with Mallek thrown in as the ultimate villain. If you can stand more story than gameplay, this one is definitely worth it!

Flower puzzle doesn’t work
Don’t bother buying. Even if you can solve the flower puzzle, game won’t take solution and you are stuck
Glitchy and not intuitive
When you finally figure out the next move chances are it won’t work. They give you a mechanic owl in the game; sometimes it won’t fly when you need it to. Had to put flowers in shadow forms for a mini game; figures had to be put in just so..meaning I fought it for a couple minutes and deleted the game. I paid full price for it going off a couple old reviews. I am going to assume the game was built for one form of OS, and now that we have had multiple updates to apple OS the game won’t properly work.

Not bad
Interesting, there were some puzzles I couldn’t understand until I skipped them, I still don’t know how to play the animal soothing harp, there were six indicator dots, but only 5 strings, without full instructions I had to skip it each time, but maybe a wiser person than me can get them.
Not sure if it’s worth it!
I just like the puzzles but I find it difficult to play if your not sure how the puzzle is suppose to be played. The guide wants you to download something else to figure it out. I’ve already payed for the game, shouldn’t the strategy guide come with it? Not really interested in the story line just like the puzzles. The older games were much more user friendly.

Shame on you
I paid for a tutorial with my game and NEVER got it!! Right on,the first few frames I went to find the tutorial and nothing. If you are going to have the tutorial you should put it into the game. Not have to bother with finding the tutorial!! I want my $2.99 back!!
Love this game
Very intertaining.
Keyboard issue
I bought the game and can’t even play because the top row of the keyboard does not work so I can’t put in the password CARROLL to even begin! Highly upset , please fix ASAP!!
