*2020-01-06, version 2.1*

Make more please!!

### 4/5 — Great start

*2015-02-28, version 2.0*

I enjoyed playing this game.  A little short but creative. I notice there isn't a review for this game. I think it was challenging although some of the puzzles didn't make sense or were not clear.  That's why I'm giving it 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Clever Game

*2014-04-27, version 1.9*

This is a clever point and click adventure game. Definitely worth purchasing!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2014-04-10, version 1.9*

More please! Even though the graphics in the Asian area aren't great, the puzzles are smashing and overall the experience of playing this game is charming! I really enjoyed it! Get this game if you liked Cryptic Caverns!! And play that one next if you haven't yet. Great value for 99cents!

### 5/5 — More!!

*2014-02-02, version 1.9*

More please!!!! A lil longer this time. I already played all the games you have and Im a little addicted now. So i need more!

### 3/5 — Lags immensely

*2013-01-14, version 1.4*

The app is really nice and I would really love to keep playing it, but, it takes 20 to 25 seconds for the screen switch... This is a very Loooooooong wait between screens! Fix this bug and ill give if a five star!!

### 5/5 — Love

*2012-09-23, version 1.2*

I have a huge collection of point and click puzzle/strategy games. That being said I've seen some HORRIBLE ones and some GREAT ones. I LOVE this app!!! Actually, all of the Cryptic series! The graphics are beautiful and the puzzles and clues are not mundane and repetitive! They make you stop and think without making you feel stupid.

Currently stuck in the last kingdom at the scroll and box with red lights but this app is definitely worth the download. I can't wait for more app releases like this!!
