This game has the worst interface of anything they have ever put out. The YouTube system literally breaks the game. Hurts my heart, cause I adore this company. ### 4/5 — Good, but old. *2025-02-08, version 1.05* It’s older, but is still kind of fun to figure out, and it provides really good hints without watching ads. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2025-01-15, version 1.05* This game is annoying,the drop down menu keeps interrupting the game . it keeps asking me to rate it or to buy something every thirty seconds. Other than that the game is a good . ### 4/5 — It could be better *2024-05-10, version 1.05* Just like in airborne it has green glowing people that are dead and hints to so it could be better ### 3/5 — Glitch *2024-01-20, version 1.05* I’ve been loving this game and would have given it 4/5 stars if there wasn’t a glitch in level 13 Factory. Having paid for the extra levels I can’t continue as the door to exit won’t open. Can you fix this? ### 2/5 — Parasız Asla *2023-12-04, version 1.05* Birtom reklamla oynattığı yetmiyormuş gibi ileri bölümleri parasız oynatmıyor. zamanımı yedi. bu tip oyunlarım ücretsiz gibi gösterilmesi artık çözülmeli ### 3/5 — Not worth the money *2023-12-02, version 1.05* I was disappointed to have paid the money for very little extra levels. Bugs needed fixing, for example the lights did not flash to get the morse code. Some parts were fun but overall it was a very easy game. If you want a good game that is worth the money try Meridian 157. Also this did not rotate on an 9th gen ipad. ### 4/5 — Escape room *2023-07-26, version 1.05* Game loaded upside down on the screen and the puzzle picture and glue doesn’t work ### 3/5 — Слишком просто доя 250р *2023-05-24, version 1.05* За 50 подумал бы ### 2/5 — バグだらけ *2023-02-07* シリーズをいくつか楽しくやらせて頂きましたが、今作に関してはバグが酷いです。 中々解けずにやむを得ずヒント動画を見たところ、何度押しても反応しなかったはずのボタンが反応していたり、やり方は合っているのに動画のように動いていない箇所がいくつもありました。 再起動を繰り返すと治ったりしましたが、そこまでしてクリアしたいと思える作品でもないなと中断しました。 日本語対応して頂いていて、楽しみに解いていたので残念です。 今後を期待しています。 ### 3/5 — Upside Down *2022-11-20, version 1.05* Fun. But - This game doesn’t re-orient itself based on the rotation of an iPad. It’s upside down relative to every other app when propped up on a folio case. ### 3/5 — Muy divertido *2022-08-26, version 1.05* Los puzzles están muy bien, pero de vez en cuando hay alguna prueba de habilidad y rapidez que no me gustan nada y tengo que pedir que me los hagan. ### 3/5 — Ok *2022-07-05, version 1.05* Enjoyable to play, but I found it a bit annoying that the game doesn’t start from where you left off, and you have to go through the whole sequence again before moving on to the next level. ### 3/5 — Glitch *2022-06-25, version 1.05* Love this game but do not like glitches. On level 16 right at the very end I cannot make the wheel move no matter how many times I tried. And of course, once u leave, it makes u start all over again.. ### 3/5 — Not as advertised. *2022-03-04, version 1.05* When I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy the extra chapters I read that the remaining chapters were longer. I did not find this to be true, it even seemed that some where actually shorter. Even at $2.99 for the extra chapters I felt that the extra chapters were not as advertised and not worth the money spent. ### 5/5 — 😇 *2022-02-16, version 1.05* Eine Super App 😊 ### 2/5 — No skip button *2022-02-14, version 1.05* This game would be good if it had a skip button for those puzzles requiring manual dexterity and fast reaction times. Watching a walkthrough does not help with those puzzles and I am unable to do them. At least put a warning on the game so folks like me don’t waste their money on a game they physically can not complete. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Link error for YouTube walkthrough *2026-02-08, version 1.05* Devs, if you can’t even get a link to your YouTube walkthroughs correct in this game, what kind of ratings can you expect? 😑 ### 1/5 — Unplayable on an iPad *2023-12-24, version 1.05* The title pretty much says it all. The game is “upside down” and its orientation cannot be changed, so if you are playing it on an iPad that is tethered to a keyboard, that is an issue. Then, to top it off, on reaching the fourth or so level, critical elements are off screen and cannot be reached. Ergo, unplayable. ### 1/5 — Only 9 Levels without having to pay *2023-06-29, version 1.05* Puzzles are super simple maybe 8 tasks per level. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Good game but… *2021-07-21, version 1.05* You can’t save the levels. If you close the app halfway through, you’re back at the start when you reopen it! ### 1/5 — Upside-down *2021-06-13, version 1.05* Displays upside-down on my perfectly-normal iPad stand, and doesn’t rotate to match. Amateur developer !!! ### 1/5 — What walk through video? *2021-06-09, version 1.05* I’m stuck at the elevator and there is no walk through video. There was an ad and that’s it. Very frustrating. Glad I didn’t pay for the game. ### 1/5 — No Save on current level *2021-05-11, version 1.05* Many reasons why one has to put the game down right in the middle of a level or worse yet almost completing it. Only to come back later you have to start the level again. Frustrating and aggravating. On the harder levels this is even worse since one needs a break now and then. I paid for it and would have thought the paid version would at least have saving your progress in a level. ### 1/5 — Worst SNAPBREAK EVER *2021-03-11, version 1.05* Now don’t me get wrong, I have played almost every Snapbreak game there is. But this is by far and away the WORST. Sure you could watch the walkthrough video over and over again...but the problem is if you screw up and do everything out of order, most especially the elevators, BEWARE FOR THERE IS NO SAVE IN THIS GAME. That means if you do anything wrong, you have to start that same level from the beginning, again and again and again, until you get to the point where throwing your device against the wall rather than watch the walkthrough for the hundredth time would be more satisfying. I love Snapbreak. I absolutely hated this game and as an avid puzzle solver game player, I don’t think I’ve come along a worst gaming experience. SAVE! What happened to the idea of SAVE YOUR PROGRESS.? ### 1/5 — Desinstalando *2020-12-10, version 1.05* No me parece bien que por una prueba de habilidad (nivel 13) no pueda pasar de pantalla. Lo hago igual al vídeo y no puedo avanzar. Desinstalando.... ### 1/5 — Door problem *2020-07-20, version 1.05* Can’t get past a door. Have googled how-to websites. Followed the directions, but it won’t click in to let me pass. After three days and more than 25 tries, I‘ve decided that paying for the extra levels is a rip-off since I can’t play what I’ve paid for. Stick to the free part, people. The developer doesn’t offer any help other than a you-tube video which I can get online. And I’ve followed it religiously. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 재밌어요! *2025-06-04* 플탐 적당히 길고 난이도도 적당, 영상 힌트도 볼 수 있어서 아주 적절한 재미를 제공합니다. 다만 가끔 눈에 안 띄는 오브젝트 때문에 헤맬 때도 있어요. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect! *2023-10-02, version 1.05* Really enjoy your games keep up the excellent work. Thanks! ### 5/5 — 好玩… *2023-06-15, version 1.05* 免費關卡有九關，微微動腦 ### 5/5 — Guay *2023-04-25, version 1.05* Como siempre me gusta mucho este estilo de juego otro hurra por snaps...un saludo. Damyen ### 5/5 — Macht verdammt viel Spaß *2023-03-20, version 1.05* Warum gibt es nicht mehr Spiele dieser Art, die so viel Spaß machen?! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-09-23, version 1.05* I love these games, already finished "Machine City Airborne", having fun on this one now . Not too hard & not too easy, perfect for my old aging brain LOL ! I just WISH there were more of the flying city machine games, they're just plain AWESOME ! ! ### 5/5 — Like it! *2022-06-19, version 1.05* I finished this game ages ago….but I am playing it again, I liked it that much! ### 5/5 — Прикольна головоломка *2022-05-24, version 1.05* Цікава гра ### 5/5 — It has everything I love and none of the stuff I hate *2022-04-07, version 1.05* I love figuring out puzzles. I hate having a character. I hate stories. I hate dialogue. I hate when puzzles are too hard to solve because due to leaps of logic. I just want to be me, solving a series of puzzles just hard enough that I have to think. Snapbreak games have that and I replay their games a lot. ### 5/5 — Great *2022-03-04, version 1.05* I would definitely love to have a label for what objects are what but for most, it was fairly easy based off the picture alone. I love this game! I’ve enjoyed each app they put out and this one is just the same. Great game, just had one recommendation and that’s saying a lot!
