It’s not the worst game but it was just hard for me to beat and used the guide way too much. ### 3/5 — 难得想死 *2025-11-19, version 3.1* 如题 ### 4/5 — I really like these games BUT! *2024-09-02, version 3.1* Some of the puzzles seem to have no real solution other than just guessing and getting it right after a while. ### 5/5 — Uzun *2024-08-28, version 3.1* En uzun oyunlarınızdan olabilir. Zorluk derecesi ise zora yakın . Ama çok güzeldi. Tebrik ederim. Ve teşekkürler böyle oyunlar yaptığını için. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-31, version 3.1* Most fun and longest game out of all the other ones. ### 5/5 — Игра классная! *2024-06-22* Отличная игра, суперголоволомки, жалко, что закончилась) ### 5/5 — The cave *2024-04-03* Самые лучшие игры у данного разработчика!!! Ждем ещё!!! ### 3/5 — в мене баг з грою *2024-03-25, version 3.1* я не можу взяти ключі ### 4/5 — 😭😭 *2024-02-18* Вообще не понимаю что делать,где найти скотч,мотылька,руку(( ### 4/5 — Rusty lake cave *2024-02-11, version 3.1* Oynadığım en zor rusty lake oyunuydu açıkcası kendi başıma da bitiremedim ama her oyunu ayrı güzel ve farklı bir atmosferi var oynamanızı kesinlikle tavsiye ederim ### 5/5 — Кайф *2023-12-22* Все бесплатные игры у этого разработчика прошел, и все отличные, кайфовые, бомбические К сожалению не могу купить остальные, я бы хотел все части пройти Всем по максимуму рекомендую🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Bestes Spiel für escape *2023-12-19* Manchmal muss ich sagen dass es doch schwer zu lösen ist, aber es lohnt sich immer wieder! Wenn man die richtige Lösung gefunden hat! ### 5/5 — Расти Лейк *2023-12-18* Игра афигенная, но загадка с щупальцами осьминога это катастрофа 5 часов просидела и психанула. По итогу верные координаты так натыкала ### 4/5 — Brilliant game and creepy *2023-10-29, version 3.1* This was the first cube escape game I’ve played the atmosphere is really eerie and the way the puzzles reacted was really cool but when you did one of the puzzles it would give you an item and you could put these items in multiple places and I put it in the wrong order and I couldn’t get them back off where I placed it either than that the game is great 🤩🤩 ### 4/5 — Definitely the hardest *2023-09-24, version 3.1* So I’ve played a lot of rusty lake/ cube escape and this one is definitely the most difficult of them all! I feel like a few things are not really intuitive… I definitely had to google 3 things in this whole game cuz I was stuck and the “hints” did not help at all. What really frustrated me was the Morse code and the fisher man. Those two I find are just not intuitive! I still loveeee these games. Plz continue making them! ### 5/5 — Восторг! *2023-09-10* Очень интересная игра ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Berbat *2025-11-02, version 3.1* Berbat ### 1/5 — Bug glitch in the game *2025-09-01, version 3.1* I can’t progress in the puzzle without the bugs but they don’t show up anywhere at all. I even reset the puzzle and it still didn’t shownup ### 1/5 — -10/10 *2023-09-11, version 3.1* -10/10 ### 1/5 — 白いキューブが現れない *2022-01-02* 他に方同様に私も白いキューブが現れず、 UFOキャッチャーが出来ません。 そこから進めず残念。 ２年ほど前のゲームなのですね。 ### 1/5 — What the ...? *2021-01-03, version 3.0* I’ve enjoyed some of the other Rusty Lake games but this one makes no sense...no rhyme or reason to the puzzles. Even the hints don’t help. Just plain frustrating. Glad it was free because I deleted after about 15 minutes. ### 1/5 — Unfixable glitches and poor touch detection - too frustrating *2020-11-22, version 3.0* Interesting visuals and subject matter (or it seems to be interesting) can’t make up for bad gameplay. When the controls don’t work, it’s frustrating but you can forgive it. But when you encounter a game-breaking and ending glitch after you’ve been playing for a long while, well, that’s an insta-delete. If it hadn’t been free I would be a bit more upset. Either way, I don’t think it’s worth your time. ### 1/5 — Game breaking glitches *2020-10-26, version 1.35* I’ve really loved this series so far. I played through all of the cube escapes in order, and bought the two premium games so far (the third is next for me I believe). This one was really challenging, but it’s had two game breaking glitches so far. The first one was in the first part with the stalagmite puzzle. I didn’t see the hint at first and just played around with it. Then I saw it and wanted to start over. I tried to use the right most stalactite as the eraser, but it wouldn’t erase any layers. It would sometimes make the top of the stalagmite disappear, but it would come back a couple drips later. And even if I left it under the right stalactite for a while, it would only erase the top layer (occasionally). So I had to completely restart the game, after I had figured out quite a few puzzles by then. Went through, redid everything, and go (I’m guessing) 2/3 of the way through part 2. I have two cubes. I figure out the football fish, I do the thing with the tentacles, ink comes out, I select the bottle and then the ink, it fills up, then nothing happens. I don’t get a full ink bottle, still just have the empty one. Tried placing it back on the table, nothing. Tentacles disappeared, so no second chance. I’m super disappointed. At this point I’d have to restart the game again, and I’m too far through to want to do it all again. I know it’s a free game, but I thought you wanted me to play all of your games to put the overall plot together? I’ve spent so much time getting all of the secrets in all of the games and everything. I’m super sad now. :( And just an fyi, I’m playing on an iPad Pro 10.5” ### 1/5 — Ink bottle glitch *2020-08-05, version 1.35* Update: Still can’t finish. Made a mistake in order of navigation of points on radar with no way to correct & no way to get the next cube. After 3 attempts just deleting this chapter. Watching the walkthrough to see how it comes out. Hopefully “Paradise & Paradox” chapters are better thought out. Too bad, still love the series, but disappointed that developers didn’t foresee this. *************************** Love the series, but very frustrated with the ink bottle glitch. Took the ink bottle in part 2 early in the game which apparently caused something to break & after watching the walkthrough (tried the hints) no fish would appear. Restarted part 2 waiting until after getting the pearl to take the ink bottle. Tried a couple of different settings on the radar, now I’m stuck again because I can’t change the settings & get the black cube or octopus. Again checked the walkthrough & found I can’t change the settings on the radar. OMG, have to reset again. Really! DEVELOPERS, Please fix so the ink bottle doesn’t mess up the settings & freeze the radar. Will reset again because I love the Rusty Lake game, but I’m soooo frustrated. ### 1/5 — yellow *2020-08-02, version 1.35* I am in the box part and the last box isn’t showing up so I can’t continue the level. ### 1/5 — Glitch - Spoiler *2020-06-06, version 1.35* Glitch once you get the octopus, the bottle hasn’t been filled with ink so can’t continue with the map, and there’s no way to get the ink to appear again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — hardest one yet *2026-06-11, version 3.1* still 10/10 though as always ### 5/5 — As always great *2026-04-04, version 3.1* Definitely one of my favourite Rusty Lake games ### 5/5 — Very challenging *2026-03-23, version 3.1* I hate having to use hints but I had to in this one. ### 5/5 — Glitch *2026-02-26, version 3.1* After finishing all the steps I haven’t been offered the cube with Lauras picture and cant finish the game ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-11-01, version 3.1* The Rusty Lake games are my all time favorite and I’ve played on Steam for a long time, I had no idea they had them on mobile also and it was probably the best discovery I’ve made! So excited to be able to play wherever I go ### 5/5 — zor *2025-10-08, version 3.1* oyunda yardim almadan mumkun deil ipuclari cok dusuk daha fazla ipucu olmali cozmek imkansiz ### 5/5 — 试试看 *2025-10-02, version 3.1* 评论很好的样子，高低试试水 ### 5/5 — Aralarında ennnnn sevdiğim *2025-08-14, version 3.1* Tek kelimeyle harika bir bölümdü. Hiç ipucu almadan ve vidyo izlemeden yaptığım tek bölüm oldu, baya uğraştım ama değdi. Gerçekten çok eğlenceliydi. Paradoks ile de son vuruşu yapıcam inşallah. O bundan da iyi olamaz gibi geliyor ama bakalım. Teşekkürler rusty lake. ### 5/5 — Queria a continuação🥲 *2025-06-24* Adoro a saga ### 5/5 — Bom jogo *2024-11-13* Nem todos os desafios são óbvios e isso é muito bom. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
