The inventory items would be blank and then the screen would cut to active spots on a black screen. This is honestly one of the most delightful games I’ve played and it’s a shame my overall experience was ruined to to a very very glitchy gaming experience. I honestly wish i hadn’t paid for it. ### 4/5 — 💗💗💗 *2022-01-03, version 1.0.4* здравствуйте, дорогие разрабочики, игра просто вау, но один минус это , то что она на английском, если можете , сделайте на русском, так что 4 звёзды пока что) ### 4/5 — Enjoying game *2021-04-20* I originally wrote that I was having difficulty with an area of game play, but after receiving support, I’m now moving along! Thanks elephant! **Developer response:** Thank you for your interest in Elephant Games! We're grateful for your support! ### 4/5 — Christmas tree forest *2021-01-24, version 1.0.2* ALWAYS look forward to this series, but this one isn’t as good as the others,I’m sorry to say😢 I don’t really know why, the story isn’t known, not to me anyway! it wasn’t as CHRISTMASY and just didn’t enjoy it as much as ALL the others. ### 4/5 — Christmas Stories: Tree Forest by LynxMinx *2020-12-16* My review has been deleted over and over and I am tired of it. So this will be very quick! The game was lengthy, gorgeous and adorable. We were furnished with a very nice variety of HO scenes and puzzles. There were plenty of collectibles for those who love them. Each location had a plethora of enjoyable tasks to accomplish. My only quibble was that the touchscreen sensitivity needed to be heightened a tad. At times it was difficult to pick up inventory items and collectibles, and then to apply inventory items as well. Still it was a terrific game. My final rating will stand at 4.5 stars. Happy holidays to everyone, especially my wonderful DTE. A special thank you to Drosietwo, Catalina and Dval, who have been extremely support and have acknowledged how much work I have put in on behalf of the gamers! Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and stay safe! **Developer response:** Thank you for your incredible review! We're wishing you Merry Christmas a very happy New Year! ### 4/5 — Fixed *2020-12-13* UPDATE:after deleting and reloading the game I was able to complete it. Not sure if there was a fix, but I am happy to say I was delighted with the game once I could play successfully. There are a variety of interesting puzzles and this game would have easily rated a 5 star, however I am giving it a 4 due to the hassle. The puzzle piece in the chest in the bedroom cannot be collected. It appears to be there, but when one tries to collect it, it is no longer visible. I even resorted to the strategy guide but it only indicated the piece should be collected. Tried restarting the game, but no help. Please update immediately!! **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for reporting this issue! Could you please share more details with us via support@elephant-games.com? We'll make it right :) ### 3/5 — Christmas Time *2020-12-10* I just wanted to Thank the Developers for putting out the Christmas game. This has been a hard year for everyone in the world, with that being said this game brought back memories of this time of year that is joyful. As far as the first part of the game the graphics are always exceptional. The story line was good. The games were interesting. I had to rate the game 4 stars because the Bonus chapter was not something I thought deserved a 5 star rating. Cats as the characters were a little disappointing because of the reality and relationship to Christmas should be humans. Merry Christmas to you all and wishing you all a better 2021!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! We're happy to hear you enjoy playing Elephant Games 🙂 New exciting projects are going to be out soon - we'll see you in 2021! ### 5/5 — Sehr schön!! *2020-12-06, version 1.0.0* Weihnachtlich schöne Grafik und tolle Minispiele, wirklich ein Genuss 👏👏👍😍 ### 5/5 — It is the season to be joyful 🎅🏻 *2020-12-06, version 1.0.0* Kinda enjoyed it as it’s Christmas, would of liked the game to of been a bit more harder for the brain, merry Christmas Elephant gang 🎅🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2020-12-06* I love all of the Christmas Stories games.

Items disappear from inventory & scenes are blacked out frequently. Stop charging for a game that’s messed up. Now it shuts down my iPad every time I try to open it! **Developer response:** Hello!

If I start over, will it appear? **Developer response:** Hello! Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you?

Stop charging for a game that’s messed up **Developer response:** Hello! Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you?

Simply impossible to play. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback. If you don't mind, could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am and share some more details about the issue? We'll do our best to fix it! ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-12-20, version 1.0.0* When I got this game me and the kids loved playing it as it was thought provoking, fun and beautifully designed. I therefore invested the £6.99 and got access to the whole game which was amazing.....until I went to play it again and all of my progress had disappeared! We were all gutted as we’d gotten quite far into the game. I emailed the developer who eventually came back to me and told me to logout of the game and log back in and if that didn’t work to get back to them. Needless to say that didn’t work and I have emailed the developer twice since then but have still not received a reply. Developer - if you do actually read the reviews, please can you get back to me and fix the problem and refund me my £6.99. Thank you ### 1/5 — Englisch 🙄 *2020-12-07, version 1.0.0* Wieso muss immer alles in englisch sein. Die Weihnachtsspiele sind immer so toll, aber in englisch kaufe ich es nicht. ### 1/5 — Leider *2020-12-04, version 1.0.0* Nur englisch, scheint ein schönes Spiel zu sein. ### 1/5 — Вы серьезно??? *2020-12-04, version 1.0.0* За игру на английском языке 649 рублей??? Пока ваши игры на английском... покупать их не будут !!! Да и на русском тоже!!! Яблоко совсем обнаглели цены так подняли ... на игры что на старые, что на новые... играйте сами!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Graphic bugs *2022-12-24* Cute story, but there are several instances of missing graphics, at one point entire scene such that I couldn’t continue playing. **Developer response:** Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you? We'll look into it! ### 2/5 — Big problem *2020-12-05* Twice now when I turn the game off for a day or so the game starts from the beginning again. Just give up trying to finish. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for reporting this issue! Can you please share more details with us via support@elephant-games.com? We'll make it right :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Christmas Stories, Tree Forest 🌳. *2022-01-11* I throughly enjoyed playing this game and would recommend it to everyone to buy and play.. This game deserves more than 5 stars. Thanks guys. **Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you so much for the review and support. We are really glad that you enjoyed the game :) ### 5/5 — Bonus help needed *2021-11-28* I played all the way through the game and was enjoying the bonus game until I came to the part to get the reindeer to get up. I tried everything but I can’t get it to work. Help please! **Developer response:** Hello Francois! If you still have the same problem, please contact us at support@elephant-games.com, we'll make it right :) ### 5/5 — Great *2021-01-22* So great to finally see a game not about ghosts or monsters. Please make more normal themes like this! ### 5/5 — Better late than ?? *2021-01-16* Once again Elephant Games delivers a gorgeous game. Because of a loss, my Christmas spirit fled, but upon returning to this game in the middle of January, I am delighted. The story is enchanting, the cats marvelous, the music deep and rich, the puzzles a mix of challenging and simple—something for everyone. The graphics and music are eye and ear candy (a new term?). I love the idea of animals in Christmas games. Animals gave warmth and comfort in the story of the first Christmas, I believe, while humans shut the doors. Dear developers, thank you for such cheer in the middle of a very long January. Elephant, blessings to you (and reviewers) for keeping us engaged while we wait for better days that ARE coming. Thank you for such cheer, for such a delight. (And I even missed one piece of puzzle—my first ever—so a replay is needed but it will not be a chore.) Thanks to all and to all a good night!

We're so glad to hear you enjoy playing Elephant Games 🙂 More amazing projects are about to be out soon! ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas *2020-12-09* I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who had a chance to play. It was a very interesting story and long game. I had no problems with it. To Lynx: Merry Christmas and stay healthy and safe.
