  • Mystery Tales: Twilight World by LynxMinx

    Not my review yet! Darling Opinion, what do you mean about Churchill Downs? Do they now own BigFish, because it seems like we are not getting the quantity/quality we used to get, although Sable Maze was gorgeous! Did you really say do a little meth, lol!? Yet Dracyy as usual rated this 5 stars so we need some sort of consensus. I hope some other Dream Team Elite members play so I can get a better feeling for what's going on and maybe talk to some higher-ups at BigFish! We need EIPIX and Mad Head in the worst way!
    I cannot review this game yet because I had to delete it due to a tiny little glitch, losing an inventory item (a locomotive, anybody, sound familiar) as if by magic. So I am reinstalling the game and hopefully I will be able to complete it and give you all a thorough review like you deserve. But make no mistake about it! I am royally irate!
    Finally able to play. This company, Domini, with whom I'm not familiar, did an update quickly and I was able to reinstall and play and finish the game. It was a decent game. It was quite lengthy and also had a decently long bonus adventure. The update fixed the tap sensitivity issues to a large degree. The graphics were good, the cut-scenes were interesting, and there were many locations to unlock because you visit them in the normal world as well as the twilight world. There was a non-spoiler hint system and strategy guide. To travel between the worlds you must find crystals for a magic orb which acts as a portal between the two worlds. You also get a magic box, and as you remove curses from the townspeople you receive magical objects to use as you progress through the game. So those two things alone made the game interesting and different. Inventory was labeled, and there were plus items, which I love. On the negative side, lots of collectibles (cats, bunnies and postcards) which were just a distraction. There was an excellent teleport map with active tasks, which you definitely needed, so no useless running around. The HO scenes were very varied, so many different things, such as lists, using an object to unlock another, putting things into a scene, finding pairs and some other unusual ones too. There were a ton of puzzles and mini-games. Some were simplistic and boring, others were fun, and some made no sense even with instructions. But there were many and I tried not to skip them! Even the rotational ones, because eventually you improve at even things you don't like and you give your brain a decent workout! There was a lot to do in this game, like removing the cursed spells and making potions.
    I cannot in all fairness rate this at 5 stars because I had to reinstall it and start over. In addition, loading was not instantaneous between locations. But all in all it was a good game and a bit different and fun. And not a rodent in sight to spoil it! So I would definitely like a sequel if they gave us instantaneous load time and no glitches.
    Dream Team Elite, you really should play. This was a bit different from the norm and it was not overly dreary! Lynxie sends ❤️💋❤️💋!
  • Good Game

    It took a little while to get me intrigued. The longer I played the more I enjoyed the game. Look forward to a sequel. Thanks.
  • Good One!

    I am really enjoying this game. It is a little bit different, the puzzles are interesting, and the storyline makes sense (not always the case with these games). I have experienced none of the glitches that others have complained about. Not sure if it is because of the age of their devices. In any case, though, so far I've had no trouble whatsoever.

    I would like to express one pet peeve about reviews. As a former developer, it distresses me when someone gives an app a one star rating when they are not actually reviewing the app but rather wanting to ask a question. That really doesn't seem fair. Just my two cents....
  • LOST LANDS 2!! By BN-5 games!

    This game was bad. I found another game in this genre called LOST LANDS 2 by a slightly new developer and it was out of this world amazing! You get what you pay for! Long game and ingenious story! Must try it! The free play was so long I started to wonder if bought it and didn't remember. When this game thoroughly disappoints please do yourself a huge favor and try LOST LANDS BY BN-5 games for a refreshing addition to this genre! You will not be disappointed!
  • Glitches!

    Purchased and initially thought that this would be a nice long good game. Too short of trial and multiple problems with the game. Too frustrating to even try to get through the problems. Will be requesting refund - Total Disappointment!

  • Boring even with extra goodies

    Even with excellent interactive Hint and Skip buttons, the gameplay is boring. Typical HOGs and puzzles. I purchased this game for $4.99 because the demo was very short.
  • Nuts

    You know a game is likely not worth it if it takes longer to shift scenes than to complete a puzzle (and I timed myself).

    Plus, who here would hunt around for a nutcracker if s/he had a fancy ol' magic hammer?

    Unfortunately, the game is too simple, lacked music, and even quit the semi-entertaining interactions of background objects--ending up with a poor rendition of a fable more interested in teaching a "moral" lesson between virtues and vices with bunnies.

    Give me a hammer to crack a walnut any day of the week.
  • Fun game but...

    Good storyline but glitchy on my older iPad. In fact, the game icon disappeared after the recent update and now I can't find it to delete it. I've been opening through the AppStore. Throughout there were some funky games that didn't quite work, like the hidden room above the astronaut's suit. Also, though I found all of the cats and played the match 3, the screen only blacked out and nothing happened at the end.
  • Twilight - what a treat!

    Not your usual game. Your daughter is kidnapped by a long dead body snatching witch. Collect cats in every scene, and rabbits, post cards. Background scenes have quirky features when tapped. Excellent transporting map, great artwork (although they should slow the characters breathing down they look like they are hyperventilating). Original storyline and tons of fun to play!
  • Twilight world

    Skip buttons not working hope you can fix this
    Seems to be a good game.
