### 1/5 — 空の王国

*2023-10-25, version 1.0.3*

日本語対応じゃない。
日本語対応って書いてあったのに…

### 1/5 — Impossibile sbloccare acquisto-Impossible to restore in-app purchase

*2023-10-08, version 1.0.3*

Gioco molto bello. Dopo qualche anno dal mio acquisto in-app non posso più giocare perché il mio acquisto non esiste più. Questo problema si estende a tutti i giochi acquistati tramite acquisto in-app da Big Fish Games. Ho provato a contattare l’assistenza e l’unico aiuto che ho ricevuto è stato ricevere consigli su come scaricare e ripristinare acquisti su PC con sistema operativo windows (dopo aver specificato più volte che i miei problemi erano relativi ad iPhone ed iPad). Assistenza veramente pessima!!! Se deciderete di acquistare giochi da Big Fish Games tramite acquisti in-app sappiate che, un giorno, potreste non essere in grado di sbloccarli.

Vera beautiful game.After some years it’s impossibile to unlock the game i’ve previously bought by in-app purchase. I’ve the same problem with every game i’ve bought by in-app purchase from Big Fish Games. I’ve tried to contact Big Fish Games support but i’ve only received help for windows PC games (i’ve many times specified that my problems were about iPhone and iPad). Very bad support!!! You have to know that if you’ll decide to buy games from Big Fish Games by in-app purchase you’ll may not able to unlock your games.

### 1/5 — Purchased but could not download the full game

*2022-11-07, version 1.0.3*

Very misleading. Couldn’t play or download the full game despite being charged. Disappointing. Need a refund.

### 5/5 — Jack and the sky kingdom

*2021-06-06*

Awesome game

### 4/5 — Wie gewohnt sehr hübsch👑

*2020-10-30, version 1.0.3*

Wie alle „dark parables“ wunderhübsch gestaltet. Solide und fehlerfrei, ohne Überraschungen.
Fürs Handy teilweise ziemlich klein, vor allem in Bezug auf die Inventarliste.
Mir manchmal etwas zu wenig Logik, aber dafür gibt’s ja die Hinweisfunktion.

### 1/5 — Bloqueado após compra

*2020-08-16*

Mais um jogo pago e nao desbloqueado!

### 2/5 — Nur rein Englisch 😡😤

*2020-08-15, version 1.0.3*

Wenn ich kaufe dann erwarte ich auch dass ich das bekomme wofür ich bezahle auch wenns ein Angebot ist. 
Alles komplett in ENGLISCH . Ich hoffe es wird wahrgenommen und abgeändert. Sollte sich was ändern gibts mehr Sterne ⭐️ ich glaube nicht dran - überzeugt mich.

### 1/5 — 何故？

*2020-03-26, version 1.0.3*

日本語字幕でゲームできません

### 1/5 — Bonjour

*2020-01-13, version 1.0.3*

Pour quoi ce jeux est en anglais .alors que vous dite trois langues dont le français.car je ne comprends pas l’anglais

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2020-01-03*
