In total there are only 8 puzzles in the whole game. So I can't really recommend the game unless you're looking for something really quick and not difficult. Graphics are pretty good but no interactions just scenes. Music got annoying so I turned my volume down. OK but not great. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. As a solo developer I try my best to give a decent level of puzzle gameplay. I feel Ayuda offers the player a decent puzzle challenge for the time, cost and effort it took to make. Thanks for trying my game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What a mess. *2024-07-17* I absolutely HATE writing a bad review, but this game is simply awful, awful, awful. First off, there was absolutely no way for me to quit out of this game unless I unplug the computer and restart it. The first scene or two were fine, but after that, all that's left to do is run around clicking on things and hope something happens. There are zero hints available and making it past the first shed is impossible. It could be a really interesting game except for the fact that there's nothing to be done once you're at the first shed. Plus, the button code on the roof did not work, so I went to a walkthrough and I did it exactly as prompted. This game is not a good one and I'm very disappointed that I could go no further with it. ### 1/5 — Müll *2024-02-02, version 1.0.1* Normalerweise 0 Sterne. Spieldauer ca 20 Min. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2023-05-02* I found this game VERY short for the price. The puzzles were all the same variation. All in all very disappointing. **Developer response:** Sad to read you didn’t enjoy my game. I make every effort to create the best experience possible. If you have suggestions you can reach me here: chris@m9games.co.uk ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-08-16* It keeps crashing **Developer response:** Hi there, where about does the game crash? Maybe your device needs a restart? If you could reach out over email then I can help further. ### 1/5 — Short and boring *2021-07-18* Not worth the $3.00. I finished the game In just under 35 minutes. I could not find any way to lower or cancel the music, and I couldn’t turn off the sound as the only way you know something was done right-or wrong-was when a beep, click or other tone was played. And the game was not intuitive as to where you should tap (I played on an iPad.) I ended up just tapping the screen in various places, lucking out that you had to tap a dark bush to move forward in one place. Places to move forward we’re too near the edge of the screen, or stupid like tapping a cliff to go down to a beach. The puzzles were very simple. And with two of puzzles, after entering the code the button area was still on the screen. Only if something appeared in your inventory would you know you were successful. I do not recommend this game. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review of my game. The game is an exploration game so players are expected to hunt around a little. The puzzles can be solved really fast if you are an experienced puzzle solver(or use a walkthrough on Youtube), but I try to cater for all levels of experience and a lot of people find the puzzles quite challenging and rewarding without a guide. I'm sorry to hear you had troubles with the inventory, despite this you managed to complete the game in under 35minutes, that is really good going! I put my heart and soul into my games, and working as a solo developer I believe I give a good adventuring experience, sadly I cannot always please everyones taste, but thank you for trying! ### 1/5 — Not Happy *2021-06-06* Bought this game to an having trouble opening the cave, tried several times. Still can’t get in. **Developer response:** Hi there, you have to use the radio signal that lights up on the roof of the cabin. It changes every game so double check it is correct. Also check the code box resets by listening for the beep as I mentioned in your TIERRA review. If you need any more help please reach out to me via email or social media and I'll be happy to help! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-04-21* Not worth the money about 10 mins to finish game **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, if you could reach out over email and let me know how I could improve then that would be great, that way I can make the game better. Thanks so much for trying! Take care, Chris. ### 2/5 — Too short! *2025-07-16* Way too short for the price of the game ### 2/5 — OK *2022-06-18, version 1.1* An ok game but very short and with issues. Solutions to puzzles sometimes need to be done repeatedly, so you think you are on the wrong track. Not worth buying but ok for an hour if free ### 2/5 — Too short and pointless *2021-06-19* Very short game for a paid one Puzzles were not very interesting and very little story line there are much better ones around don’t waste your money **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, I try to concentrate on creating an adventure/puzzle environment for the player rather than a story based one. As a solo developer I simply don't have time else the project would never finish sadly. I'm sorry to hear you didn't feel the game was worth paying for, perhaps my games aren't for everyone but thank you for trying! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A little gem *2024-12-26* While short, I really enjoyed playing Ayuda. As a long time adventure puzzler I actually prefer not to have too many directions, forcing me to explore the game world properly. It isn’t a particularly long game, taking me just under 3 hours to complete, but as promised all the puzzles were completely logical and the clues are there if you persevere. At half the price of a typical magazine these days I think it was worth it. Off to download the next M9 game now! ### 5/5 — Short but good *2021-07-30* Yes it’s short but give it a try. I play every point and click adventure game I can get my hands on and this was a great little game to play in one evening. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! Really pleased you enjoyed the adventure! ### 5/5 — Favourite so far! *2021-06-10* This is definitely a dev to look out for, his games are sooo good, I think I even preferred this game to enigma and I adored Enigma! So that is saying something, the puzzles in this game are perfect so I only used a hint once on the crate/ door code puzzle because I got fixated on the meaning of the black star on the crate thinking it was part of the solution. If you don’t use any help all the way through this game definitely takes a decent amount of time. Well worth the money, I love how much you are left to work things out…such a sense of achievement, the puzzles are totally logical and varied, also like the bits of story and sound effects. Can’t wait to start the next one! **Developer response:** Thank you for the generous review, it really means a lot. Really glad you enjoyed the adventure, I try so hard to include a variety of puzzles and not just 'off the peg' ones, to challenge all levels of puzzlers. Thanks again for playing! ### 5/5 — Enjoyable, devious and good game play *2021-04-20* Nice game, great that there is a save point the moment you leave the game. Visual assistance with the puzzles is also appreciated Much better processes, thank you for listening to the players. Love supporting your journey. Little grumble on the last puzzle, visual help would have made the game better, personally speaking. Some rather crafty puzzles. Looking forwards to the next one. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! I do try to incorporate as many suggestions as I can, technical ability allowing and I'll definitely watch out for visual feedback. Really glad you enjoyed the adventure, it means a great deal to hear positive feedback and makes the creation process all worthwhile, take care, Chris. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-04-17, version 1.0.1* Great game. Not as challenging as the others, but still fun. Please keep them coming! ### 5/5 — So much fun! Great puzzles and fantastic scenery! *2021-04-17* Put your thinking cap on for this one! Some nice challenges and if you need to relax just turn up your volume and listen to the realistic background sounds of wind and water! Beautiful graphics. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the encouraging review! Really glad you enjoyed the sights and sounds of the island of AYUDA! ### 4/5 — Klassisches Point‘n Click Adventure *2024-05-08, version 1.2* Schöne Grafik und angenehme Hintergrundmusik. Klassisches Spielprinzip: Finde Gegenstände und wende sie an, löse Zahlenrätsel. Für erfahrene Spieler aber etwas zu leicht, und daher eher kurz. ### 4/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel *2022-08-27, version 1.2* Mir hat das Spiel sehr gut gefallen.Superschöne Grafik.Rätsel waren lösbar. Mir fehlte eine Funktion für Einstellungen und eventuelle Tipps. Daher nur 4 Sterne. ### 4/5 — Good so far until *2021-04-19* I can not find the triangle button. I have found the other 4 buttons. **Developer response:** Hi there, you can find the fifth missing piece by solving the puzzle box on the wooden table by the book. If you need more hints, feel free to reach out over email or social media and I'll help. Take care, Chris. ### 3/5 — Schöne Graphik aber kurz *2025-01-20, version 1.2* Schöne, liebevoll umgesetzte Graphik. Statische Bilder, ohne Animationen. Also keine sich bewegenden Wolken, Wellen usw. Kaum bis keine visuelle Aktionen beim Anklicken von Gegenständen. Drückt man beispielsweise einen Knopf / Schalter bewegt sich dieser nicht. Das Spiel wirkt daher, trotz der durchaus opulenten Graphik, eher nüchtern um nicht altbacken zu sagen. Schade eigentlich. Sehr einfach gehaltener und sich prinzipiell wiederholender Rätsel Aufbau. Wenn man sich darauf einlässt, macht das Spiel Spaß. Gerade warmgelaufen, ist es dann leider schon durchgespielt. Spieldauer bei mir, deutlich unter einer Stunde. Für den Preis, im Vergleich zu anderen Spielen, erheblich zu kurz. Einige Rätsel werden auf Handy Displays schwer zu lösen sein, da teilweise die Hinweise sehr klein ausfallen. Auf dem großen Ipad pro geht es gerade so. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
