Très très répétitif… aucun changement à travers les étapes, faire et refaire toujours exactement la même chose alors qu’il était question d’énigmes et d’enquêtes. Déçue. ### 2/5 — Why? *2025-06-10* I paid for the story at the beginning and finished the talisman. What do I have to do to keep playing? It would be absolutely ridiculous to have to pay again. I do not feel like I got my money’s worth. I almost want to ask for a refund. ### 2/5 — Ok but where’s the story *2025-06-07* Played all the levels (which meant paying) and the story stops with no reason for doing any of it. Are you going to release downloads of the rest of the story presumably to save Celeste? ### 2/5 — 완성도가 떨어짐 *2025-06-06* 한국어 지원 기능버튼도 없고, 스토리 건너뛰기 기능도 (아직) 없어서 진행이 매우 느림. 그래픽만 화려하고 좋음. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not happy. *2026-07-22* I don't think it's fair that you have to pay to play, I'm already paying for one of your apps that I love and I really want to play this one... It's very unfair. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2026-01-07* Why u gotta buy it ### 1/5 — Libby *2025-06-22* You could at least tell people it’s going to cost 14,99, to play, shameful. I would appreciate a response, you will not get people to play with dishonest advertising, avoid this game unless you are prepared to pay. I would have spent more money than the 15, dollars, playing this game. ### 1/5 — I did not order from you! *2025-06-14* I received an email Stating you are charging me for your product. I did not make a purchase with you. I sent you an email regarding this, saying you are charging me! If you do not correct your mistake, I will contact my banks claims dept. regarding fraudulent charges. I sent you an email reply regarding this matter. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading *2025-06-13* You get to play one scene (London), you move onto Paris and then you have to buy the rest of the game!!!! Only get to play once with finding the gems. I have played all the other Dazzly gem games and they have been fantastic, this one I was so disappointed with. ### 1/5 — $10 to get past the first 5 minutes *2025-06-07* As title states ### 1/5 — Buy the story? & lag *2025-06-06* I find it ridiculous that you need to buy your way to the full game. No one in their right mind would pay since the original game also requires to buy a subscription to get the full experience. Also when I was coloring, there was a lag when I tried to do so & it required careful placement which I also found ridiculous ### 1/5 — It’s bad *2025-06-05* You need to use money to get through the storyline ### 1/5 — Pay money to continue the story?! *2025-06-05* Hi, So why must I pay money to continue the story?! Can you fix the game plz and remove that purchase?! Have a good one!! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-12* Seems like a wonderful game beautiful details interesting etc, until not even 5 mins in you HAVE to pay to continue no way around it. It’s $20. So sad this is what it has come to if your going to charge for a game just make it around $5 to buy to download in App Store instead of not letting anybody know that u HAVE to buy to continue. Makes you excited for no reason… ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Мнение об игре,+ объяснение для других игроков *2025-07-05* Игра достаточно интересная, и персонажи прорисованы очень даже хорошо. А для тех, кто не понял, что здесь за 800 рублей, то я объясню. Это нужно, чтобы разблокировать все остальные части сюжета после того, как вы соберёте все самоцветы в библиотеке и пройдёте диалог, где в конце упоминается ключ, который был в письме. **Developer response:** Спасибо за добрые слова и подробное объяснение! Мы очень рады, что вам нравятся Dazzly Stories и персонажи. Здорово, что вы поделились полезной информацией с другими игроками. Если у вас есть еще идеи или отзывы, пожалуйста, пишите! Наслаждайтесь приключениями! ### 5/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-06-07* Stops working and closes in the middle of the game ### 5/5 — Rip off. *2025-06-05* I thought this game was free. It won’t let me unlock the whole story. ### 5/5 — Beautiful! Hope it is the start of greater things *2025-06-05* I’ve been so excited for this game to come out because I love the other Dazzly games. Right now I am in Celeste’s bedroom so my review is coming from the perspective of what I’ve seen so far. Of course the gems are just as beautiful as you would expect! Having a jewelry setting/background for the Dazzlies adds a lot of depth and is very enjoyable. I hope that later in the game I will be able to add gems to a dress, candelabra, or something else other than traditional pieces of jewelry. This game is basically an interactive story with very little challenge and no stakes. I will certainly play it through because it is relaxing and beautiful, but it would be even more fun if you were punished for making mistakes like in Dazzly Match. I do like that the mini games are more balanced than in the original Dazzly Match game. My favorite mini games are Match and Find, but in the Dazzly Match the Sort game definitely dominates and the others are more rare. I hope that in the future you guys make a much bigger game on the scale of something like Gardenscapes, Match Factory, or Pixel Color! I mean events, leader board, daily goals, etc. that would keep people coming back and make it feel like a challenge. Thank you for these beautiful games! ### 5/5 — yayy dazzly stories is here *2025-06-05* the graphics is really detailed good and loveee the amount of gem sounds, i would buy the game if i could. although the game is already locked after a barely few minutes of playing, some dialogs after the tutorials is over, its quite fast that it might as well be paid to download.. dazzly games are very good in quality i love them :) ### 5/5 — Magnifique *2025-01-12* Superbe jeu de découverte des diamants sur fond d’histoire. Le tout en Français, design magnifique et le tout est très bien fait. J’espère avoir des mises à jours régulières car c’est une pépite. Bravo aux développeurs ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2024-12-09* Nice set up!! Beautiful drawings!!! Beautiful jewels!! I spent a very smooth and soft week-end with that game!! A feel good game!! Fiona ### 3/5 — 🤔 *2025-06-07* Поясните, за что здесь 800 рублей? ### 3/5 — Bien mais juste une démo *2025-05-06* Bonjour, Le jeux en soit est bien mais par contre ce n’est juste qu’une démo il faut donc payer pour avoir le jeux --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
