    UPDATE: I am pleased to announce that the deal I brokered between Friendly Fox and Nenad Tomic, the former CEO of Mad Head games, has been approved. Friendly Fox is now a distributor! Remember Mad Head and the quirky and unusual gameplay? Well, you will in a day or so. The first release is Wanderlust 4: The Bermuda Secret and it will be released in the next couple of days. Please everyone, purchase the game. It’s a full-length CE game and we all want to support Friendly Fox. It’s fairly priced too. It’s also redemption for me. Oleg, you should have released EIPIX! Oh, well.
    We have finally received a CE game and quality assurance-wise, it’s a mess. For those of you (basically all of you) who pay I would be angry. First of all, there are coding messages (which we should never see) across the top of the gameplay interface. Secondly, the lack of touchscreen sensitivity is appalling. Thirdly, if you hit the question mark button (which I believe is for the strategy guide) it asks you if you want to purchase the game. In the bonus chapter, the hint button doesn’t work and there is no strategy guide to check. Then there was an annoying glowing sale button at the top of the screen for the entire weekend. In addition, there are fatal errors in the bonus chapter. You cannot apply inventory. I tried to give the old man the identification card, and nothing applies. I restarted it with the same results. Oleg needs to fire this incompetent quality assurance person and hire people who know what they are doing! Update: they updated the game, and they added a strategy guide but the bonus chapter still won’t let me apply inventory. Over it already! Sixth time the charm? I’m exhausted. Finally I can play.
    It’s a pity, because this game was in my favorite genre, crime and intrigue, and it had a good storyline for a change.

    I purchased the deluxe edition to and had no access to the walkthrough then on the left hand screen I have a timer. It’s bad enough we don’t get enough of theses then we can’t enjoy them.
  • It just can’t…

    I purchased “deluxe” - no access to walkthrough, but I get the splash screen seeking payment - I thought maybe I forgot to purchase it, so I hit the $7.99 tab. It tells me I already bought it, but still doesn’t let me access the walkthrough. So when the splash screen comes up yet again, I thought maybe I should hit the $6.99 tab. Purchase went through - I’ll be contacting Apple about that - but STILL no walkthrough. WTH?!

    This game was a huge improvement than the last few terrible games that has been given to us. Beautiful graphics and smooth gameplay. Also Longer game play. I did have to skip a few of the games. Seemed confusing and directions weren’t clear to me. But that’s just me maybe. Keep putting out games like this and I’ll keep paying!

    I actually enjoyed this game more than recent offerings from Domini as it was a crime themed storyline. I also appreciate the varied HOs we were given in this game. My rating would be higher if not for a few problems - nothing fatal but annoying: coding showed at the top of the page on one instance, the game froze entirely twice and necessitated restarting, and the strange question mark above the hint button that when selected offered an opportunity to purchase the game. ??? Never had that happen before. Overall, it was an enjoyable game and worth purchasing.
