### 5/5 — Payant

*2025-09-14*

Jeu prenant fini en même pas une semaine, le seul bémol est que pour jouer au chapitre bonus il faut payer même en finissant le jeu

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! Le chapitre bonus est un contenu supplémentaire, tandis que l’histoire principale reste entièrement gratuite. Merci d’avoir joué ! 🎮💖

### 3/5 — Don’t want the pay for clues games

*2024-09-10*

How do I tell the difference between the “All Inclusive Unlimited Clues” games from the pay for clues games? I tried one of those once and it cost me over $40.

**Developer response:** Hello. We offer 2 variants of games: “premium” versions of the game, where you pay once, and all hints and skips will be absolutely free; “free to play” (F2P) - gameplay is free, but if necessary you can purchase additional hints. Everyone chooses the option according to their preferences ❤️❤️❤️

I have enjoyed playing these games

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2023-04-06*

I have the best time playing these games! They really help me clear my mind after a stressful day. Thank you to FF for making them free! The only thing you would have to buy would be bonus games and extra jewels. They aren’t too hard and they aren’t too easy either. I love that there’s not an energy limit either if I want to play the whole game in a night I can. Please FF let me unlock this bonus level for free! I’m dying to figure out the meaning of the collection of letters!!

Pourriez-vous fournir à notre équipe d'assistance (support@friendlyfox.studio) une description détaillée du problème avec le nom du jeu et le modèle de votre appareil. Nous ferons alors de notre mieux pour vous aider 🥰

### 3/5 — Best so far but...

*2022-10-08*

This was the best game I've played so far. It was interesting, challenging but not hair-pulling frustrating, thought-provoking yet do-able.  I thought: I may even pay for a game like this.  However, exactly half way through with the picture of 3 people where you had to put the pieces together, the final piece would NOT stick. No matter what nor how many times I tried, even opening and closing the game, it would not stay. I could go no further and had to delete the game. I would not pay for that. Too bad.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry that this has happened. Please contact us via our support email: support@friendlyfox.studio. They will help you! 💞
