  • What a disappointment

    Was excited to play this since I love the Poe games but I've only just started and I've already had multiple issues with force-closing, lost progress, and the game has the tiniest inventory objects I've ever seen. Will not purchase full version.
    2021 update: tried again, game was never fixed :(
  • Doesn’t work

    I get about 5 minutes in, and the game closes itself. I tried about three times then gave up. Total waste.
  • Good

    1. It takes FOREVER for the game to load compared to other games.

    2. Good grief the words for the tools are microscopic! Make the words legible
  • Frustrating

    Was really into this game so much that I purchased it, but the frustration comes from the HOPS. Unable to select items or having to be super precise was annoying. Was close to the end and had to stop because the game refused to let me click on the items I needed to go further. Fixes need to be made.
  • Enjoying it!

    Pro would be like this creator, the music is good, lots of scenes, not too many hops, interesting ones though. One time I had some difficulty lighting a pipe but enlarging the screen seemed to do the trick. This game really makes one think. The transporting map is helpful.
  • Awful

    Worst game I’ve ever played. Couldn’t even get through it because I couldn’t get anything to connect to what it was suppose to since the spotting was so off. Waste of $6.99, sad because I love big fish games but after this I don’t think I even want to purchase another one.
  • A mess

    This game just doesn't make the grade. I agree with all the previous complaints, but also I couldn't play the bonus game. What the heck? Of course if the bonus game was as bad as the first part, did I really lose anything. Oh yeah, my money. Grrrrrr
  • Good game but

    Hate the inventory/tools banner across bottom. Takes 1/4 of screen & with the additional touch area for backing out of screen, only using half of the screen for actual game. Seen in other Big Fish Games, so hope this is not the norm now. Very small touch area for items as well. Takes several tries to place anything. And constantly backing out of screen. Very frustrating.
  • A Good Game but.....

    I had so much trouble with the HOPS! When you had to place something in the scene, it wouldn't take it! I had to try and try and try before I got it! It was the same when I had to pick something up out of a HOP. I really liked the storyline, as I always do with this series. Some of the puzzles were lacking in instructions also. If you could straighten these problems out, it would be a 5 star game.
  • Ugh! Nothing but frustrating!

    This game keeps shutting down and kicking me out. In addition, it's stuck in a hidden object puzzle and I can't get it to work. I strongly recommend against purchasing this one. It's not like big fish to put out something so mediocre.
