### 3/5 — Обидно

*2026-07-12*

Предыдущие части работали идеально. Эта глючит , то кран открываю не идет вода ( хотя раньше шла ) , то рубильник не опускается , удаляю игру и прохожу уже 4 раз , каждый раз новые глюки , в итоге застреваю ((( очень обидно , потому что игра лучшая

### 2/5 — Too Glitchy

*2026-06-28, version 1.9*

This game is so fun & I love the series , but it’s absolutely too glitchy . It gets so bad that I either have to close the app to restart & play , or it freezes my phone altogether . Kinda kills the joy of the game . it happens with a few of the other games on the series as well which is a bummer .

### 3/5 — Very Bad Bug!!!

*2026-05-26, version 1.9*

I love your guys’ series of these games but i gotta say i just deleted the game because of the bug with the lever other people have also commented it here and you still have done nothing about it.  It’s really a shame you’ve let it like this with no fixing, especially because it is in the first few missions and this game has the most out of all the games you’ve done. Take it in consideration. Best regards, keep up the good work.

### 2/5 — Прикольно, но много багов

*2026-05-22*

В игре много багов, что не всегда позволяет беспрепятственно пройти локацию

Хуже всего, что во второй главе, на уровне с Дагом, игра ломается намертво. По комментам очевидно, что не у меня одного, жаль…

Частенько в квестах бывает странная логика или в принципе ее отсутствие. Но спишем это на намеренное «усложнение» что бы заставить пользователя покупать подсказки тк игра без рекламы и бесплатная, и разработчику нужно как то зарабатывать

### 3/5 — Во время загрузки произошла ошибка.

*2026-05-21, version 1.9*

Не прогружает 2 главу. При нажатии на кнопку ИГРАТЬ, игра вылетает или темнее экран. 
Пробую самостоятельно включить 2 главу , первое испытание и выходит надпись попробуйте позже, но ничего не меняется, когда я захожу позже.

### 5/5 — The game is keep freezing and I can’t play anymore

*2026-05-18, version 1.9*

Fun but the developer didn’t fix the bug

### 3/5 — 1 game lost a star!

*2026-05-17, version 1.9*

I love this game, it’s so blooming addictive - but the last stick puzzle is rigged (mathematically the person who goes second will always win). I don’t like being forced to use coins to ‘win’ a game. 

Otherwise brilliant

### 2/5 — Turns my sound off.

*2026-05-12, version 1.9*

I listen to other media when I play games. Even when I turn this games’ sound off, the app thinks it needs to turn off my audio. The above-average art and relatively diverting gameplay don’t make up for this.

### 4/5 — Бывают баги

*2026-05-04*

Игра очень классная, но просто не грузится глава с супермаркетом в 3 главе. Выдает ошибку. Очень жаль

### 5/5 — Баг с вазой

*2026-05-03*

Игра классная, но иногда логика странная и есть баги с пикселями

### 4/5 — Не работает😟

*2026-04-29*

На половине зависла, не могу поднять рубильник на одном уровне и дальше не идет ничего🥹🥹

### 3/5 — Почините баг

*2026-04-22*

Одна из любимых игр, но опять в этой части есть баг на уровне с мостиком и досками, исправьте пожалуйста, хочется пройти до конца, очень расстроена

### 3/5 — Part 3 Lever

*2026-04-03, version 1.9*

I was doing great in the game until the lever part in the reactor. I tried every which way to get it to move up again and no go. So now I can’t finish this game and I was on a roll on this series.

Please fix!

### 4/5 — Divertente

*2026-03-15, version 1.9*

Fatto bene a volte ci sono cose da fare che non ti aspetti tipo agitare il telefono per far cadere oggetti, peccato per alcuni piccoli bug a volte tocchi o trascini gli oggetti e non sempre funziona devi provare più volte , in alcuni mini game questo tipo di bug rende impossibile risolverli , per fortuna con un paio di pubblicità gratuite ricevi le monete e salti il gioco , peccato perché sarebbe bello poter risolvere i giochi

### 5/5 — これは拾い物。隠れた傑作！

*2026-02-27, version 1.9*

まだ第ニ章の途中あたりですが、相当に面白いです。
ひとクセならぬ、ふたクセくらいある意地悪なモノ探しゲームに、パズルや謎解き要素。既視感はあるけれどキチンと統一感のあるカートゥーン風グラフィック。
そして何よりも、かなりしっかりしていて、抜群に引き込まれるストーリー性。
中途半端なエンドのまま続編が頓挫してしまった名作ジェニー・レクルーの続きをやれているようで嬉しくなりました。

### 1/5 — Same issue with vase

*2026-08-30, version 1.9*

It’s lame that you’re not fixing reported bugs, like the vase in the diner.

### 1/5 — Unplayable after Part 1 due to error

*2026-05-22, version 1.9*

I love the Find Joe games. But this one gives an error now when trying to start Part 2 and won’t load. Says “couldnt load location chigides xi” Please fix this as I truly want to play this game.

### 1/5 — network error

*2026-05-20, version 1.9*

in part two it gave me network error chigides xi what does that wven mean???

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-05-06, version 1.9*

I’m half way through chapter 2 - I’m on a level where I can’t get the final object. I clicked hint but it’s still not working. I even looked at a walk through- but it seems to be a glitch.l because the lever won’t move. There’s no way to contact customer support within the game so I’m going to have to delete without finishing.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-03-28, version 1.9*

I got stuck, I can’t get a precariously perched vase to fall down. All the other games are great.

### 1/5 — I want you to add a reset button for every level but it only resets the level you are playing

*2026-02-27, version 1.9*

The title speaks for itself

### 1/5 — 加载不出来

*2026-02-11, version 1.9*

另一关一直加载不出来

### 1/5 — I don’t know if my game is glitched or not

*2026-01-31, version 1.9*

I am not able to get a thing in a level

### 1/5 — Langweilig

*2026-01-30, version 1.9*

Such dies such das. Die Steuerung ist schlecht gemacht. Die Rätsel ohne Logik.

### 1/5 — Don’t Be Fooled, the Developer Only Cares About Money

*2025-10-24, version 1.9*

From time to time everyone needs a hint, myself included.  This developer uses hints as a cash grab and gives the players the middle finger while doing so. 

For example, on a certain level the is a tired stuck on a pole. It is blatantly obvious that it needs to be removed and placed on a rim.  One can buy a hint with 60 second ads or with 0.40 to 0.50 USB.   Care to guess what your money buys? A hint that reads, “let’s get the tire off the bar.”  Then the game requires one to purchase another hint to find out how. 

Here is another example:  there is a level where the player is stuck in a bus and must locate a housefly.  You can buy the “clue” for 60 seconds or money.   What info is contained in the clue?  None. It just reads, “what do you need to do get a fly on a bus?”  The game then requires the purchase of another clue. 

Simply put, I did not F’ing know how to get a fly onto the bus. I just paid you real money to find an answer to that very question. How about answering the question rather than having the clue just restate the reason I spent my money?!?!?

There are countless examples in this game.  The Developer put out a good product, then screwed over the players.  To the Developers: up yours.  You are disgusting and you disrespect your players.  I now use a free online walkthrough and will never again give you a dime!

Edit: one more thing….i play games while listening to podcasts. This is one of those games that pauses all other apps when you switch between them. Does Bob down in audio really need everyone to listen to his mediocre voiceovers, just so his fragile ego isn’t hurt?

One more edit: this game must have been ported from PC. Why?  There are mini games that require precise movement and are absolutely unplayable on IOS.  As in one has to push a button that is 1/4 wide…on an iPhone…with fingers that are much, much larger.  But don’t worry…you can bypass the with money, or by watching a video.  Thanks again developers for screwing over the players!!
