### 4/5 — Пофиксите нг уровень!

*2026-04-13*

Игра класс, затягивает, но уровень с новогодними игрушками и зависающими колечками просто все испортил, сделайте что нибудь с этим🙏🙏

### 4/5 — Баг

*2026-04-10*

### 3/5 — Эта часть неинтересная

*2026-02-25*

Прошла все части этой игры ) и эта мало порадовала, рисовка не очень, озвучки нет, музыкальное составляющее минимальное, загадки детские

### 4/5 — Магазин игрушек

*2025-10-27*

Зависают пирамиды, не пройти дальше

### 5/5 — It’s a Hog..with an adventure..

*2025-10-11*

It’s a straight forward approach to a game where players find each object..The difference between this one and others for me; there’s a story I follow. I also love these type of graphics. The mini games are unique..(Loved the dominoes game)

The only downside..sometimes you have to drag an object to another object..more than once. Or, you have to preform an action first, for another to respond. 

To the devs: Your sale pop ups don’t work..”8 hints for $1.99”
It actually says “ Are you sure?”..when I finally give up tapping for the sale. 

I like that you changed the hints to 1 per coin. Better..👍

### 5/5 — My favourite

NEW CHAPTER PLEASE

### 5/5 — The only free game that deserves 5 star

*2025-09-11*

Yes this game is actuallyyy free ! You can pay for hints but you don’t have to! The game itself is INCREDIBLE it’s one of the few that are actually interesting! Keeping you entertained for days solving puzzles, and not just finding objects - creatively putting them together to advance the levels! It’s so so good the only downfall is that I wish there was more 😭 the storyline is so good the design and gameplay is all just impeccable work ! So rare to find a good game these days, and this exceeded! Well done 👍

### 1/5 — Магазин игрушек

*2025-09-29*

Эту локацию невозможно пройти , на пирамидке все зависает !!!! Исправьте ошибку ! Все уже пишут об этом !!!

### 1/5 — Fail!

*2025-07-19*

The tap detection in this game is ridiculous.  You can tap on something 20 times, swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right and nothing.  Tap 10 more times and nothing.  Hours later read a clue and it tells you to tap on it.  Tap 15 more times and it finally moves!  This game is nothing but a frustrating mess.  Also, more chapters coming soon was clearly a lie!

### 1/5 — Non è gratuito

*2023-07-07*

Solo la prima parte è gratuita poi 4€ per ogni capitolo …

**Developer response:** Grazie per il tuo feedback. Capiamo che potrebbe essere deludente dover pagare per i capitoli successivi, ma questo ci aiuta a continuare a sviluppare e migliorare i nostri giochi. Ci auguriamo che tu possa considerare il supporto al nostro lavoro e continuare a giocare. Grazie ancora!

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2023-06-16, version 1.0*

Was excited to see a new game in the field - but the game is glitchy and the basic functions do not work. After paying 7.99 for unlimited hints, was shocked to be interrupted by ads (I guess I have to pay another 3 for no ads) and not being able to skip puzzle (to skip one has to watch an ad, but it doesn’t work). I need refund!

### 2/5 — Kind of interesting

*2026-02-26*

Until you realize the game is designed to get the player to buy hints.    You will be pixel hunting every area of the screen to find something you can interact with(could be an up swipe, down or side swipe on anything or a double tap on anything).   To random.  The goal is to get you to spend money.

### 5/5 — Agréable surprise !

*2025-11-09*

Il n’y a rien à payer pour suivre les niveaux et ça qu’elle plaisir alors il y a un peu de pub mais bon on peu quand même finir le jeux sans devoir continuer en payant etc.. jeux assez facile et très interessant avec plusieurs mini jeux et choses à découvrir vraiment top !

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-10-19*

Really like the puzzles and the flow of these games. They are hard but not impossible. Lots of walkthroughs online if you get stuck.

### 5/5 — Great Free Game

*2025-10-12*

Completely free!  A few ads but not in the middle of gameplay so aren’t annoying like other games.  Parts 1 and 2 are both free, and there’s even a little Christmas chapter.  Surprisingly long for a free game.   This game is similar to Stranger Things.  Thank you for the game!
