Как отдать вояке тактическую линейку, она просто зависает в воздухе и все. Задания тоже как такового не появилось после диалога. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Просим прощения за неполадки! Пожалуйста, напишите нам об этой проблеме более подробно на support@absolutist.com. ### 3/5 — After beating game *2025-04-06* Update: I’m wondering how long it will be before I can expect this problem to be addressed and fixed. It’s frustrating to have to delete the game and find it in Apple Store, select it then download it again. Once I’m in the app I have to restore purchase because it won’t register that I already own it. Any chance I will ever see this fixed? This is a good game that I’ve played on my PC and now on my iPad. It had interesting additions to it that I really like but unfortunately after I beat the game and want to play a new game, I have to uninstall it completely or it doesn’t erase some of the play from the previous game. I’m not able to find the cornflower and I start out with a higher sum of money. I also am not able to give the shovels to the workers because they’re not there. So without finding the cornflower I can’t complete the game. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reporting the problem! We constantly work on improving our games and we will take it into account. The opinion of the players is very important to us! ### 3/5 — After beating game *2025-03-03* This is a good game that I’ve played on my PC and now on my iPad.

It’s a classic. ### 5/5 — игра моего детства *2024-02-12* искала, осталось ли в app store’e ещё что-то приличное и вдруг вспомнила об этом алмазе. лет эдак с десяти Город дураков был одной из моих любимых игр. я прошла её, наверное, раз пятнадцать, расположение всех предметов до сих пор помню наизусть. и полную версию who am I? у родителей выклянчала, пусть её уже и не могу здесь найти. вместе с ещё парочкой других «поисков предметов» Город дураков сформировал мой сегодняшний видеоигровой вкус и я жутко за это благодарна. если бы не это игра, не знаю, прошла бы я потом свои любимые квесты про Нэнси Дрю, сибирь с другими играми Сокаля, старшип титаник и многие другие. большое спасибо! очень рада, что некоторые части моего детства и золотой эры мобильных игр ещё остаются живы. спасибо вам за то, что не пришлось искать торрент) баги есть, да, но ещё с детских лет я научилась справляться со всеми, кроме отсутствия табака в сквере, если правильно помню. на некоторых устройствах его просто не было. надеюсь, на современном iOS с новыми проблемами не столкнусь. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2023-10-05, version 5.3.9* This game is brilliant and unique . ### 3/5 — Enjoyed the game but three glitches spoilt it for me. *2023-07-31, version 5.3.9* Reasonably priced and quite a long game with plenty of interesting puzzles and characters. The three glitches I mentioned above meant that, although I finished the game, it was annoying to have to skip these quests. The first glitch was I couldn’t get the man unstuck from the park bench and as a result couldn’t finish one of the potions. The second glitch was that there was no hidden object game in the room where I was supposed to find 8 pipes. This meant I couldn’t finish the task of restoring the plumbing. The final glitch was the orchestra notes. The game wouldn’t allow me to tap on the pianist and so I could not complete the tune and end this quest. I tried reloading it lots of times but this problem would not resolve on any of the three glitches. Aside from that, great graphics, interesting story line and well thought out quests. ### 5/5 — не все золото… *2023-07-11* я люблю город дураков, сухарики, симс, шрека и шульцмана ## Frequently asked questions about City of Fools ### What is the gameplay like in City of Fools?
