  • Frustrating

    I really wanted to like this game, but I became increasingly frustrated by the combination of obscure puzzles / solutions and touch controls. The first issue could just be me being dense but the second is a problem: you have to be extremely accurate in placing where you want an item to be used. I wasted time by choosing the correct item, dragging it to the correct place to use it, but nothing happened, and then trying to find another non existent solution! Finally, having to check out a walkthrough video and finding out I was right all along was very annoying. This happened several times and I gave up and deleted the game out of frustration which is a real shame as there is much to like. I don’t like giving negative reviews but I hope this may be considered constructive feedback.

  • Boring opening

    The art and story are promising. I especially enjoy the rhymes. But the opening is just so slow and tedious. Puzzles basically consist of trying each object with each other object, and it’s easy to miss some objects since nothing is highlighted. I have to do mundane chores for a long time, which is not a great hook. For people who are more patient than I am, there may be much to enjoy.

  • Similar to qfg, kq, adventure games

    Neat game! I think maybe five puzzles seemed very arbitrary to me, but the rest I could figure out. I got stuck a couple times apart from the arbitrary puzzles, but figured it out after scratching my head a bit. I recommend the game.
  • Not updated for iPhone X and up

    Is it really that difficult to at least optimise it for those devices so it’s proper 16:9 ratio with black bars only on sides.
    Because of that basically looks smaller on iPhone X than on iPhone 6,7,8.
    Home bar visible all the time as signal, battery and time.
    I know you’re just one guy but it would be great if you can fix it.
    Cheers

    Edit:

    The game is so good. It was simply unfair and immature to review it so low just because of screen size.
    I got full explanation why is so hard to change it without changing UI.
    Is worth playing even if it’s not full screen.

    Can’t wait for the next project!

    Developer Response

    Hi, sorry to hear about your trouble. Unfortunately the touch/drag mechanic for the inventory interferes with the home button swipe on the iPhone X, so the game had to purposely be made smaller so it was playable (the iPhone X screen is also wider than 16:9 which the game was originally designed for). If you shoot me an email at support@machineboy.com I can send you a code for the Steam version instead. Best, Mattis.

    Cute little game. Wish it was longer.
  • Great game but far too short, completed in 3 hours

    Beautiful game, thoroughly enjoyed it but I completed it in one short evening. I would say for the price it’s far too short, or needs to be reduced. The actual game play (what there is of it) is lovely, click and point puzzler. The gameplay and nostalgic graphics would make the game a 5 star if it hadn’t been so short.

  • Not bad

    It was ok but felt short
  • Loved it

    Took me way too long to find this great adventure game, but I’m so glad I did. Hope a sequel or more games are being made by the developer.
  • Classic Adventure Game

    As an original 80s LucasFilm adventure gamer I can can give this 5 stars. Beautiful nostalgic game. I played this with my 4 year old and read out all the conversations (which rhyme by the way) and he loved it. Quality!
  • Super cute game

    But a little overpriced for the length of play. But I did enjoy it
