### 2/5 — The unlock button doesn’t work

*2025-06-29, version 1.0.0*

i’m absolutely gutted about this, these games were such a big part of my childhood and i spent years to find them as i just couldn’t remember their name. 

anyways, to the point; i completed the free part, but when i continue to go to unlock the rest of the game the whole game crashes and stops working. it will not ever work. i’ve tried over and over and over again everything to get it to work but nothing at all does. 

it would be such a good game had that would work

### 2/5 — Dead Reckoning: The crescent moon

*2023-12-01, version 1.0.0*

I like this game. I am very frustrating because I played and purchased this game before! I went to play it again and then it said unlock! I pressed already purchased and it said no record found this is b.s Shame on you big fish developer's this been happening a lot with your games! I use to enjoy big fish games no so much anymore. Big fish is greedy takes our money and charges us again. Hello customers whom purchased games from big fish once and then play again are you having the same problem? Because I remember a couple of customers having the same problems. I want my refund or fix this problem enough is enough!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2022-04-18, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 3/5 — Some frustrations

*2022-02-15, version 1.0.0*

I like the game and the puzzles, but I had some issues with hot spots and taps not registering, and this made it frustrating to play at times. I found I was constantly exiting a room because it was too easy to accidentally tap the hot spot, but then at times when I wanted to exit a room I would have to tap several times, or I ended up picking up an inventory item instead. I ended up skipping the pipe game because when I tried to drag one piece out of the way in order to tap another one, the first piece would not release and end up right back where it started. I also didn’t like that you have to tap on the menu button to find the map. Most games like this have a map button.

### 1/5 — Played the free sample

*2021-07-29, version 1.0.0*

Then paid for the full and it just keeps throwing me out … tried deleting obviously losing all that I had already done … still won’t load

### 5/5 — Loved this game

*2021-07-12, version 1.0.0*

Found this on sale, I do keep looking because the full price of games, especially at this difficult time, is too much for me. I couldn’t fault this game at all, it is annoying having to access the map from the main button though. There weren’t too many hos and the variety of puzzles was really good, some were really difficult and took a while, a good length and although it was tricky finding the hidden scales, you were able to get them at the end. Please let us have some more games at a reduced price.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2020-12-24, version 1.0.0*

I’ve been trying to put the number dial on the snow globe for a while now. It’s so frustrating. 
EDIT: I closed the app for a while and opened it back up and was able to put said number dial on the snow globe. 
There’s still issues of clicking on something but it not counting just because you didn’t click on it “correctly”.

### 4/5 — Too Small

*2019-09-07, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoyed this game “but” all the writing was SO small that playing on an iPhone made it very difficult. Not only the writing but the Hidden Object games was hard to see as the items blurred together.  If they would have done that better it would have been a Great game

### 5/5 — Fantastic graphics- enjoyable game

*2019-07-08, version 1.0.0*

Had a good storyline. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Good

*2019-06-02, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed this game lots of variety in the puzzles good story line
