But this .... This I cannot reccommend in good consious. There's a twitch component to "Embracelet" that mysteriously goes unmentioned, a component missing from MotM, which is one of the reasons why it's good. I play adventure games to deliberately avoid games where twitchiness is needed. If you think this is something that has a place in adventure games, then "Embracelet" is for you! However, if you also don't see it that way, then, like the title of this review says: approach with caution. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear this, but please note you can adjust the ring overlap in the options. When set to max, it is very forgiving when it comes to timing. Best, Mattis (developer) ### 5/5 — À tester *2023-05-07* Jeu vraiment sympa, je n’ai pas vu le temps passer ! ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2022-11-06* J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisirs à jouer à ce jeu qui est bien dans l’air du temps. Des énigmes sympathiques avec une quête non dénuée de sens. Histoire et personnages attachants. Bravo or congratulations. ### 5/5 — A delightful adventure *2022-08-24* The graphics, story, music, and interesting characters combined in an amazing journey of discovery. A good variety of puzzle solving, secondary missions and conversation threads kept things from getting too repetitive. ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍 *2021-05-17* Goooood game❤️ ### 1/5 — Could easily be 5 stars, if ... *2021-03-07* I love the game and the story so far. But it‘s almost ruined by the awkward movement of the character and the stubborn camera. Please rework the jostick, even better give us controller support too so I can play Embracelet on the big screen, where it belongs. And use the upper half for camera movement by swiping please. I hope you address this in a coming update, can‘t wait to give you 5 stars then. UPDATE: Reduced to 1 star. Above still applies, but I won‘t waste any more time with these horrible, imprecise and simply not working controls. The only thing worse is the camera that NEVER looks the way I want it to. You managed to make a good game totally unplayable. Fix this thing already and add controller support. Aren‘t you even embarrassed to sell something like that? UPDATE II: Hi Mattis, I believe Controller Support would help, IF at the same time you make the character less jumpy. I really want to play the game, but right now it‘s way more frustrating than fun. Free camera would be optimal, if this is not possible, maybe you could make it more „intelligent“ for lack of a better word? **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the controls. The game was never designed to have a freely moving camera, so I can't add it after the fact. I will look into controller support and see if that is possible, or perhaps a tap-to-walk option. Thanks for your feedback. Mattis, developer ### 3/5 — Not so good on iOS *2021-01-02* I found the game very hard to play on my iPad. The controls to move around are terrible along with the camera angles zooming all over the place, enough to make you dizzy. A shame because it is a lovely story with good puzzles. ### 4/5 — Great game!! *2020-12-01* I loved the story in this game! It was sweet and engaging. The controls to make Jesper move are frustrating at times, but that is the only negative I found. I finished the game last night and loved it!!! I gave it 4 stars due to the need to tweak the movement of characters . ### 2/5 — Good but buggy *2020-12-01* Fun game with a lovely story. It’s quite buggy though and will get stuck or crash at many cutscenes. At this point, I’m now at an impasse and cannot play further past a crash point. Please fix soon so I can finish the story! **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for playing Embracelet! Really sorry to hear you're having issues, I'd appreciate it if you could send an e-mail to support@machineboy.com with info about your phone and where the game is crashing for you. As a quick fix (if you haven't tried already) is to restart your device and see if that makes a difference. Thanks, Mattis (developer) ### 4/5 — Interesting game with frustrating controls *2020-11-28* I enjoyed the adventure itself, but the joystick-style controls were ineffective on iphone 8 and it felt like it took forever to walk from place to place- it was hard to get the character to walk straight ahead. I would have preferred a different style of controls like ‘tap to walk’. The game is still worth buying though-pretty lengthy gameplay and unique story. This was similar to the game Oxenfree in a lot of ways, so anyone who liked that game would probably like this too. ## Frequently asked questions about Embracelet ### What is Embracelet about?
