### 4/5 — Really good game

*2021-10-26, version 1.0.0*

Would have given 5 stars but the glitches were so very annoying.

### 4/5 — Really good

*2020-10-01, version 1.0.0*

Good long game, interesting plot, challenging puzzles. No extras which is disappointing so can’t complete skipped games or find missed collectables.

### 3/5 — Great game but there’s several glitches.

*2020-09-06, version 1.0.0*

Great game, good puzzles however I reached a certain part (where you collect the mirror shards) & collected all but one & couldn’t find the last. I discovered it was outside the room beside the door but I couldn’t get there as I kept going into the room.
Sometimes I can’t click on objects as nothing happens.

### 4/5 — Excellent value

*2020-09-02, version 1.0.0*

A very good little game. Nothing too challenging. However a very good length unlike some other games out there. Very good value for money, especially when purchased during the sale.

### 4/5 — I would rate it higher

*2020-08-18, version 1.0.0*

except that it is difficult to place items correctly. For example using the screwdriver was tedious as I had to try to get it in the exact right spot relative to the active site for it to work. Some of these types of games allow one to click the inventory item then click the spot where you want to use/place an item rather than drag them across the screen. That always works. I almost quit this game but persevered in spite of the difficulties.

### 2/5 — Hidden object, Really?

*2020-08-15, version 1.0.0*

Only one hidden object so far. That’s why I get these games. Glad I didn’t pay full price. Well see if the rest of the game gets better. If it does, I’ll consider upping my stars.

### 3/5 — Great story line

*2020-05-05, version 1.0.0*

Fun game to play. The story line was awesome, but there seemed to be So many delays. It seemed as though you had to put the item from your stock in a certain area of the object which after a handful of times finally worked but was very finicky. Not one of the best games I have played

### 4/5 — =SOB=

*2020-03-14, version 1.0.0*

Please bring these iPad games back!

### 5/5 — Loved the game

*2019-08-08, version 1.0.0*

This was a fantastic game with an extensive bonus level. Very worth the full purchase.

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2019-01-30, version 1.0.0*

A great game,flows well and nice and long. Puzzles are a bit different and more interactive. Would recommend!

### 5/5 — Emberwing

*2018-09-20, version 1.0.0*

Really long game, got stuck on couple of puzzles, but enjoyed it

### 4/5 — No custom mode

*2018-07-25, version 1.0.0*

Fun game but super annoying to have to wait for hint and skip to charge.

### 4/5 — Still very good!

*2018-07-15, version 1.0.0*

I played this when it first came out, but thought I'd give it another go. I'm quite pleased to find Emberwing very playable. In fact, I don't recall it being so cool! It's a long game full of a variety of mini games that I'd not encountered before. There was no bonus game this time around... perhaps they added it to the main game. Anyway, I'm always happy to find an older game that is still fun and playable on my 10 year old iPad 2.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2018-06-12, version 1.0.0*

really enjoyed it!

### 5/5 — Emberwing

*2018-06-05, version 1.0.0*

Great story, beautiful graphics, loved the HO and cutscenes. Please make more emberwing games :)

### 3/5 — Emberwing lost legend

*2018-05-05, version 1.0.0*

I love the game, but, I have a horrible time getting the screw driver to work.  There is “NO” curser that lets you know where you are using the screw driver, wrench or anything, never mind being able to turn the tools in the correct direction.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2018-04-30, version 1.0.0*

Excellent graphics and storyline.

### 5/5 — Emberwing

*2018-04-16, version 1.0.0*

### 1/5 — Ember wing

*2020-05-31, version 1.0.0*

Game is frozen in dragon warming seen by the lake. I’m unable to pick up handle for knife. No support in the game.

### 1/5 — The Game Put Me in a Bad Mood

*2018-08-22, version 1.0.0*

I was trying to figure out a puzzle. But bumped the stupid skip button! I did NOT want to skip! I wanted to figure it out! But there is no option in the main menu to start the puzzle over and let me play it! So now I have to start the whole game over in order to get to play the puzzle! GET RID OF THOSE SKIP BUTTONS EVEN ON EASY!!! Or put them some place else on the screen so my knuckle does NOT accidentally bump it and then not get to play the puzzle! 😡

### 1/5 — Ember wing Lost Legacy

*2016-01-31, version 1.0.0*

Would really like to buy this game but it says the game is being modified.  Then it says there is an error.  Please fix.  Thank you

### 1/5 — Stuck !

*2015-10-24, version 1.0.0*

Started out nicely paid the full $ but here I am at the potion vender and the hint wants me to open the box - not happening in my lifetime so I can't go further.  I want my $ back.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2015-03-17, version 1.0.0*

Having a real problem with big fish games at the moment, after unlocking and purchasing it crashes. Not only this game, but Cadenza and Ominous Objects also, £4.99+£4.99+£3.99. I've upgraded my system and also restarted my device. The purchase has gone through as I have deleted all apps and re-installed, tried to purchase, and the app tells me that I have already purchased. Will need to get my money back, that's £13.97 already, and now I'm not bothered risking buying another one. Fix this or you lose your customers!

### 1/5 — Disappointed.

*2015-03-14, version 1.0.0*

Was really enjoying this game but since I paid it just keeps crashing. Wouldn't waste my time rating.

### 1/5 — I wanted to like this game ...

*2015-03-10, version 1.0.0*

Slow to load, annoying misfire of cutscenes -- if you don't touch the screen, they just sit there, and if you do, they skip to the end -- games that don't work, games that are TEDIOUS (and it's always these that lose the skip button), unhelpful hints, and a map that works sometimes. 

But what really sent me over the edge was a mini-game in the epilogue that would not let you finish it. 

I dislike HOP scenes that make you find objects in a certain order, and I'm not too fond of silhouette scenes if they are overused.

### 1/5 — I paused game and lost my potion!

*2015-03-07, version 1.0.0*

Right near the beginning I saved the dragon and left the game. When I went back the dragon was still there and the potion was gone! I am unable to access the area where it was created any longer either. I'm stuck!

### 1/5 — Too many fairy stories!

*2015-03-05, version 1.0.0*

As above Bigfish.   We're not all 12 year olds. 
More mystery and horror stories please.

### 1/5 — Unfair

*2015-03-04, version 1.0.0*

Had to start this game all over again as I could not get the nut cracker to work. After paying a lot of money. One of the other games I paid for the one before this one I have given up with as it just kept freezing so twice I started that one. Never had this before. Two in one week.

### 5/5 — My favorite Hidden Object game ever!

*2024-02-03, version 1.0.0*

I have owned this game for several years and played it many times because I haven’t been able to find newer games I like as much as Emberwing and the other Boomzap fantasy games—the Otherworld and Awakening series games. Emberwing is my favorite of these, and I wish Boomzap would do a sequel to this game. My only complaint about Emberwing is that no matter how many times I play it, I can only find 49/50 of the hidden “collectibles” in the game, and that is with diligent scrutinizing in every scene. I wonder if somebody at Boomzap miscounted the collectibles, or if the game is faulty in some way. Whichever it is, please fix it. It drives me crazy every time. Again, Boomzap, please do a sequel of this game! And release remastered versions of all the Awakening and Otherworld games for iPad!

### 5/5 — Long decent quality

*2022-10-01, version 1.0.0*

The game said I played for 30 hours! That’s a lot of game play for $6.99. Of course if you download it and pay later it’s only $2.99. Search for Emberwing on the App Store as there are two versions of the same game. Graphics are great but it’s tough to get around - I find myself hitting the hint button all the time for the first half of the game. It’s a bit tiresome as I can’t see how this game plot worked for the first half of the game. The second half was better. You have a kid and a dragon helping you at the end, which was very fun, especially to see how the pet dragon is used. Not too much magic, although the potions and the altars are a bit much. Most of the dragons and elves are good looking and well drawn. You get your money’s worth for game play for sure!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-02-10, version 1.0.0*

Very fun game

### 5/5 — WONDERFUL...Emberwing

*2021-06-01, version 1.0.0*

There isn’t enough I can say about this game.  Super long well done so worth the money spent.  I hope so much for a second one.. I never ever review. But this one warranted it. A couple of issue ..hard at times to get the items to click in.. so I got confused, the hints aren’t always the greatest .. however it made me think things through.  A very enjoyable game.  Well done!!!

### 5/5 — Emberwing

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.0*

I love it.  I am an old lady and I probably use the hint more than most, but it keeps me enthralled.  Thankyou.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2020-09-02, version 1.0.0*

During the lockdown I have relied on games such as this very entertaining stimulates the mind makes it all worthwhile as a ageing pensioner I find it helps my brain very good graphics mine teasers to find the right clue sometimes is very hard makes you look for it thank you

### 5/5 — Flowe

*2020-08-24, version 1.0.0*

Loved it..gr8 story & puzzles

### 5/5 — Clever

*2020-08-19, version 1.0.0*

Finally a less predictable game.  Challenging (played at the more difficult setting) and original.  It even made me laugh a time or two. I recommend.

### 5/5 — Best game I’ve ever played

*2020-02-16, version 1.0.0*

I think I have played about ALL the games big fish has to offer. This was by far the best game I’ve ever played. Graphics are stunning and so well done. Music not annoying. Storyline very interesting and quite a long game. Even the puzzles were much more interesting than I’ve ever played. Great job Boom Zap! I want more! The only downfall I would say maybe bc its an older game sometimes you’d have to find just the right spot on an object to make it interact which can be frustrating. But worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Emberwing

*2019-09-08, version 1.0.0*

This game is thoroughly challenging; entertaining; fabulous; long; and a joy to play.   One of the best games I have ever  played.  Wish that there was a sequel.
