### 4/5 — leider zu linear !

*2024-08-14*

Auch wenn die Lösung richtig ist, muss man erst alles abgearbeitet haben bevor es weiter geht. Noch schlimmer wenn man eine Aufgabe unterbrochen hat, dann kommt manweder weiter noch zurück, da ja keine Spielstände gespeichert werden. Ich habe im Museum vorfristig die zweite Lapuslazulikettentür geöffnet, dadurch hat sich die erste geschlossen obwohl die Aufgabe nicht erledigt war. Zurück komme ich nicht mehr, das heisst, ich muss das komplette Spiel von vorn beginnen. Das verdirbt einen den Spaß, schade.

### 3/5 — Why.

*2024-02-26*

Good but ridiculously short. Very disappointed.

### 4/5 — It just needs an interactive map

*2023-10-19, version 1.0.6*

I love this game . It is great in all aspects. But it really needs an interactive map.

### 5/5 — I love these games!

*2023-02-27*

Firemaple make the most visually pleasing little quest games. I had completed all the others in the series years ago, so was excited to see this latest addition. Please don’t stop making these! :)

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed

*2023-02-20*

I really enjoyed this game. I thought the length was perfect and it was really cute to switch up the locations. I was especially surprised by the plot twist at the end which I found kind of funny. Please make more games I love them so much! Could we have another lost city one?

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-02-05*

Bit short but another great game in this series.

### 3/5 — Not challenging like the other Fire Maple games

*2023-02-03, version 1.0.6*

This game was very short, and not challenging. My least favorite of their games. Was left feeling disappointed.

### 3/5 — Fun but short for $4

*2023-01-30, version 1.0.6*

Played every Fire Maple game—this was fun, short and pretty easy. Took me maybe an hour to an hour and a half.

### 5/5 — Fire Maple games are the best of its genre

*2023-01-26*

I’ve played a lot of adventure/escape games and these are my favorite. They have just the right amount of storyline and challenge. It makes you think, but not too hard, so it’s still fun.

### 5/5 — We need more games like thissss. Addictiveee

*2022-11-15, version 1.0.6*

I love each and every game this developer create. I just finished the latest game: Curse of The Cobra and I just can’t wait till the next game.

I have one request: please make us updated in twitter in regards to the stages of developing new games.

My siblings love the games too and we compete who finishes the game first. 

When is your next game?

Best game developer ever.
Highlyyyyyyy recommended and worth every game of the series. Your fan from Saudi Arabia

### 4/5 — Great game - too short!

*2022-10-10*

Another fantastic game from Fire Maple Games. Great game play, lovely artwork. But the price of £3.50 is much too much for the length of the game. A common issue with FM

### 5/5 — Fire maple is the standard to follow

*2022-09-24*

All of these point and click games from Fire Maple are such good quality, have superb gameplay, gorgeous graphics, beautiful sounds and music, a polished feel to them and will always be the leaders in point & click on the App Store for me . 
Well done Joe K, I enjoyed this game very much and can’t wait for the next ! Please can you do a plane crash desert island one ?

### 5/5 — Traditional

*2022-09-23*

This is just a great game in the old traditional style.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-06-04, version 1.0.5*

We want more games ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

### 1/5 — Bug！Waste of money

*2025-03-28, version 1.0.8*

I solved the puzzle on the study door using the info from the sewing machine. However, the game did not progress or advance. Since I cannot continue the game due to this bug, I would like to request a refund.

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2024-04-11*

Bad interactive. Bad puzzle. Bad music. Bad story line

### 1/5 — Bin total enttäuscht!

*2023-06-17*

Im Gegensatz zu früheren Spielen, die ich allesamt gerne durchgespielt habe: Qualitativ und quantitativ unglaublich verschlechtert!!! Lieblos irgendwelche viel zu leichten Rätsel zusammengewürfelt, erschreckende Grafik, …. Ihr wart mal so gut…. Und das Geld wert!  Jetzt sowas und dann extrem kurz für 3,99 ist definitiv zu teuer. Sehr schade. 
Was ist los?

### 1/5 — Terrible juvenile game

*2023-06-12*

The graphic are awful 2D animations that were around 10 to 15 years ago.  Navigation is laborious and slow. Clicking through back story pages, a sentence at a time is painfully slow. The puzzles are very obvious but with one or two totally  obtuse ones too. However,  ‘Help’ is behind a weird delay of 3 to 8 minutes (no idea why it varies.) Avoid unless you are 12 years old!

### 1/5 — Short

*2021-12-06, version 1.0.5*

Very short puzzle for the money.  Figure an hour of gameplay for your $$$$.  Puzzles not hard pretty straightforward

### 1/5 — Very Basic Puzzle Game not worth the Money

*2021-01-24*

Very over priced for a very easy game. I expected better from Fire Maple Games. Will certainly think long and hard before buying from them again.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2023-02-18, version 1.0.6*

This would be a great game..if I could ever complete it!

There is a bug in  the game that does not allow me to collect the flail
 and scepter for the mummy tomb cover. As a result I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ELSE.

The graphics are cool, the puzzles challenging. But it means nothing if you can’t actually play the game.

I have never had this issue with any of the other Fire Maple Games. I have deleted this one and don’t recommend buying it unless you don’t mind wasting your money and your time.

### 2/5 — It’s not worth the cost

*2022-07-22*

Look i’ve enjoyed firemaple games for years going as far as getting grisly manor when it first came out, and even back then i thought some of the puzzles were a bit of a stretch but now the puzzles make absolutely no. No i do not mean in the sense they are impossible. More in the sense that they just don’t make any sense in terms as to why they are there, sticking out like sore thumbs in a very pretty background ruining it. I felt i had to leave this review here because all of the others don’t actually describe how the game is just not ugly. But look if the game was cheaper i wouldn’t bat an eye but this for me is too expensive.

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2022-01-04*

I cannot retrieve one of the items no matter what I do. I have turned the game off and on several times, but it doesn’t work. I cannot complete the game without the item. This is disappointing considering I paid $5 for the game. I would have given it a 5 star review otherwise.

### 2/5 — Good game, but way too short

*2021-12-03, version 1.0.5*

I finished the game far quicker than I finished the other games like Thickety creek or return to grisly manor- not worth the price but still a good game

### 5/5 — Excellent little puzzle adventure

*2025-06-09*

I’ve played most of the Fire Maple games and I think this one is my fave to date. It had a bit more logic to the flow of gameplay and I wasn’t left waiting for the next hint to make progress. Gorgeous graphics as always! Well done, devs!

### 5/5 — Bello, ma non come gli altri

*2025-03-23, version 1.0.8*

È da anni ormai che acquisto tutti i giochi di Fire Maple: sempre belli, originali e coinvolgenti. Anche questo è intrigante, ma rispetto agli altri l’ho trovato un po’ più corto e leggermente più facile da completare. Nel complesso, però, resta una saga davvero bella!

### 5/5 — Ich liebe die Rätselspiele von Fire Maple Games

*2024-09-23*

Curse of the Cobra steht in einer Reihe mit seinen (losgelösten) Vorgängern. Ein tolles, sehr unterhaltsames Spiel. Es ist ziemlich kurz, aber dafür mit viel Liebe zum Detail.

### 5/5 — Another hit

*2024-05-15*

Honestly love these games! The story is engaging and the visuals are awesome! The puzzle really makes you think and would highly recommend every game in this series!! I find myself coming back and replaying the each and every game and each time is just as entertaining as the last!

### 5/5 — Топ

*2024-01-31*

Игра топ очень понравилась интересная и красивая всем советую

### 5/5 — Супер квесты

*2024-01-24*
