### 3/5 — Waiting on update

*2022-12-12, version 1.0.60*

Was this game given up? I’ve been waiting a couple years for the episodes to come out. I love this game a lot but it’s sad seeing it at a standstill. If the protect is stopped forever why not delete the game instead of giving false hope?

Currently, there are no official update dates but we are working hard to proceed with plans for the future.

### 3/5 — Framed

*2019-12-26, version 1.0.60*

The game is great but they’ve basically dropped it at this point for Blustone

We sincerely apologize that currently, there are no official release dates but we are working hard to proceed with plans for the future.

### 5/5 — Does this game still work?

*2019-11-16, version 1.0.60*

Was wondering if it is still working, i only get the visual shower splash art at the start of the game and it loops around. I am hooked on blustone and wanted to see the back story before it.

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. We'd appreciate it if you could please provide us with the video clip and the information on when the app crashes at cs@visualshower.com, with your in-game nickname if you have created your in-game nickname, as precisely as possible. Thank you.

### 3/5 — No new chapters in such a long time

*2019-08-11, version 1.0.60*

Great storyline and graphics but it’s been so long since a new chapter has been released. I think the developers lost interest in this title.

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2018-10-05, version 1.0.60*

Good job

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 4/5 — When is the next update?

*2018-09-04, version 1.0.60*

I like everything about this game, from the story to its design. I recently found out that this is a prologue of sorts to Blustone, and that BTB is popular in Korea. The last episode update for this English version was over a year ago, and I would be sad to see it abandoned.

**Developer response:** Hello,
We apologize for the delay but we are working on new BTB episodes.
When release schedules are confirmed, we will announce it in our official website.
Thank you for your patience!

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2018-04-25, version 1.0.60*

I really enjoy the game! It’s got amazing art and the story is interesting. And it’s pretty challenging which makes it even more fun.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — The game is great, but...

*2018-04-23, version 1.0.60*

The game is really awesome! However, I have some problems, a problem to be more precise. I don’t know if it is because I am using an Ipad Air2 mini to play the game, but my screen seems like it s enlarged, so some parts of the scenario are cut and It becomes difficult to find some objects. Until now, I was fine with it, but now I can’t continue with the game because the button i need to click to open the door is at a complicated spot that I can’t reach (at the top right where the buttons for the forum and the other one are) =.= it is really sad....

**Developer response:** Hello, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please report to us on our homepage btb.visualshower.com/en in the 'Support' section and make an article about your bug report. Thank you for the feedback.

### 5/5 — It’s a good story/ puzzle game.

*2018-02-20, version 1.0.60*

These games are always hard to find enjoyable because in order to enjoy the game you want to be able to accomplish things, but in these story type puzzle games things are hard don’t make since but if you make it too obvious then it isn’t fun. Balance is hard to find. Even in this game sometimes you can get lost trying to fix a machine and your screw driver isn’t working at all and turns out you needed a hardened bread stick to block the gears from moving..... however that being said BTB helps with this process by having clean and satisfying art drawing your attention to things you need without explicitly saying do this.
Gameplay 7/10
Art 10/10

Other than basic mechanics of this type of game, I enjoyed the story, however the intro was more of a soon to be and the begging was just that. Wanted to mention that the story doesn’t have all those boring introductions and gives just enough back story that you can catch on.
Story 8/10

This type of game is for those who like story drive games. I dont think you will like this game if your here exclusively for puzzles. I enjoyed it though and honk you should give the trial a go at least.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We will take in your suggestions! Thanks for playing.
