Rätsel dadurch nicht lösbar. Schade um die schöne Grafik und interessante Story. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass das Spiel Ihre Erwartungen nicht erfüllt hat. Spiele wie dieses sind passabel, und viele Spieler schließen alle Level erfolgreich ab - das bestätigen auch die Bewertungen anderer. Vielleicht möchten Sie es noch einmal versuchen, um die Spielmechanik zu verstehen, oder Hinweise verwenden, um das Spiel einfacher zu machen. Sollten Sie weiterhin Schwierigkeiten haben, zögern Sie nicht, unseren technischen Support unter support@friendlyfox.studio zu kontaktieren - wir sind immer bereit zu helfen! 💖💖💖 ### 1/5 — Terrible controls. *2023-04-15* Fix the controls. It freezes up in the restaurant when you have to get a ladder from the brewery! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We advise you to contact our support team. Could you please provide our support team (support@friendlyfox.studio) with a detailed description of the problem and the name of the game in your email? Then we will do our best to help you 😉 ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2022-11-02, version 1.0.0* You are charging money to use the hint button? Shame on you. This will be my last F.F.S. game. ### 2/5 — This is a fun game *2025-04-07* But, I play a lot of these type of game. I buy the game and play it without having to spend anymore money. This is why I love this type of playing. One purchase and figure it out. I will not pay more money for more for hints. I will play Candy Crush if I want to go broke. Such a disappointment. This could be a five star. **Developer response:** We offer 2 variants of games: premium - you pay once, and all hints and skips will be available in unlimited quantity; F2P gameplay is free, but if necessary you can buy additional hints. Everyone chooses the option for themselves. We advise you the same game in the premium option 💕 Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-budapest/id1593423688 ### 2/5 — Not so much *2023-03-21* It doesn't allow you to watch ads for hints. Not planning on spending money so I will delete game after my 3 free hints are used up. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We have 2 versions of the games: "pay to play" - games where you pay once and all hints and skips will be absolutely free; "free to play" - gameplay is free, but you can buy additional hints if needed. We also understand that watching ads can be frustrating and distracting for some players. But your feedback is important to us, so we will certainly take your feedback into account and try to improve our game to meet the needs of different players. Thank you for choosing our game, and we wish you the best of luck with your other games! 💕 ### 3/5 — Budapest *2023-03-28* Now they have made the games where you have to buy rubies to use the hint button. Gives you no clue where to go next. Not as much fun as before. If you are going to have to use rubies, then you should be able to earn more during the game. They answered my statement. So if you do not want to pay extra get the game without the letters behind the name. **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for the feedback. We have 2 versions of games: "free to play" - gameplay is free, but if necessary, you can buy additional hints; "premium" version of the game, where you pay once, and all the hints and skips will be absolutely free. This game is F2P format. If the premium game suits you better, then you are advised to enjoy it. We hope you enjoy it! 💖 Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-budapest/id1593423688 ### 4/5 — Fun, but aaargh the inaccuracies *2023-06-28* Okay, I really like this kind of game, and this one didn’t disappoint, but the references to Dracula (from Romania) and Frankenstein (which takes place in 8 countries, but NOT Hungary) just kept making my skin crawl. All of these historical and literary references, and not a single one has ANYTHING to do with Budapest! 😝 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review and for enjoying our game! We apologize for any inaccuracies that may have bothered you, especially regarding references to Dracula and Frankenstein. While we strive to create an immersive experience, sometimes we have to take some creative liberties to improve gameplay. We appreciate your feedback and will incorporate it into future updates. We hope you continue to enjoy our game!🙂 ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-12-18, version 1.0.0* It’s definitely free to play…You start off with 32 rubies..From there once you go through them, you P2P..It’s easy enough..The puzzles will probably get more difficult as we go.. A suggestion to the devs.. When we use the eye*..It plays out the scene..for us. Instead I would rather pick from A B or C..A list of scenarios..then a jigsaw. It feels like a puzzle could be incorporated there… ### 5/5 — Happy For the Changes *2024-01-11* I used to not like Friendly games because they used to put shadows of everything you needed. I’m so glad you stopped doing that. I love the challenge now and it’s not frustratingly difficult. Just enjoyable. Yay! **Developer response:** Your positive feedback is our main achievement. Thank you for choosing our game and sharing your emotions. We will continue to work to make you happy! 🥰 ### 5/5 — 굳굳 *2023-03-20* 한국어도 나왔으면 좋겠어요! **Developer response:** 피드백을 보내주셔서 감사합니다. 저희는 플레이어의 의견을 소중히 여기며 최대한 많은 사람이 다양한 언어로 게임을 즐길 수 있도록 항상 노력하고 있습니다. 게임에 한국어 지원을 추가하는 것을 고려하고 있습니다. 향후 업데이트를 기대해 주세요! 🙂🧡 ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better and better!!! *2023-03-06* Love love love this series!!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review! We will try to continue to delight you with quality games. Your feedback is very important to our team 💖💖💖 ### 5/5 — Great Game *2022-11-14* This is great game full of challenging entertainment. **Developer response:** Thank you for this wonderful review! 🧡 ### 5/5 — Most polished episode yet. Excellent *2022-11-14* This is absolutely the best series of games from FF Studios. The voice actor for the detective is great. Art is very well done and matches the period. I had no glitches for the entire game. Most importantly, there was more interaction needed to create things and do puzzles. This was very enjoyable. I didn’t need hints, but purchased anyways to support what I consider the best of the genre and attention to details. Thank you for this game **Developer response:** Thank you so much for staying with us and choosing our games! We are grateful for that 🥰 ### 5/5 — Löse Rätsel in Budapest *2022-11-06* Wieder sind wir unterwegs um eine Fall zu lösen, dieses Mal in Budapest. Viele knifflige Rätsel, schön gemachtes Spiel. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die großartige Bewertung! 💞 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
