Plus un bug avec lotis dans les tunnel des arbre ou je suis rentré dedans et depuis glotis a disparu) ### 2/5 — Mediocre game held back by technical issues *2025-10-20* From a gameplay perspective this is a poor game. The puzzles are strange, many times I would know that there is a puzzle because of the way the game presents it but I was at a loss what the underlying motivation or the result would be. Things get a little bit better at the end. The game is also held back by being 3d. The inventory is a complete nightmare, movement feels strange and there are far too many empty scenes. The story itself is nice but nothing to write home about. The characters are well written and the dialogue is really enjoyable. The music is above average but the 3d backgrounds have aged very poorly. The game also crashed on me regularly in the second half of the game. I’m a few hours in and I’ve had it stop working about 6 times. ### 2/5 — Not optimized for newer iPhones *2025-02-23, version 1.0.4* Can we get an update so it fills the entires screen? ### 3/5 — Sympa de retrouver grim *2025-01-26* Il y a un problème de son , toutes les options sont cochées et pas de son gr ### 4/5 — Quero este game no MacBook em português BR *2024-03-08* Muito TOP o game. Quero este game no MacBook em português BR Atualizem lá na store e desbloqueiam a 5 estrela. ### 3/5 — Just realized *2024-01-11, version 1.0.4* I don’t have the right device for this. I might be able to play it on my phone but I don’t have any of the other suggested devices…bummer dude I just wasted $5 ### 2/5 — Leider nicht spielbar *2024-01-03* Zuerst ist die Axt im Tresorraum so liegen geblieben, dass man sie nicht mehr wählen kann, weil sie zwischen zwei Perspektiven liegt. Dann habe ich auf 16:9 umgestellt und habe heute kein Menü-Button mehr, kann also nicht mehr zurück. Damit ist das Spiel komplett unspielbar geworden und das Geld verschwendet. ### 3/5 — Still a Great Game *2023-11-22, version 1.0.4* I had bought the original version years ago and loved it. I uploaded it to my new I-Phone yesterday from the App Store. There are subtitles but no sound and the sound is one of the best parts’ ### 2/5 — Unfortunate it glitches so badly on my iPhone 14 *2023-10-08* I loved playing this ob my PC years ago so sad excited to see it available here and remastered too. Short lived though since once I purchased it and tried to play on my iPhone it was so difficult to navigate Manny around. Kept glitching when trying to access my inventory and the storyline sequences sometimes did not play out correctly. Kept having to restart or redo certain tasks… so disappointing. ### 4/5 — Like old times *2023-06-06, version 1.0.4* Fun throwback so far ### 3/5 — Bug in act 3 *2023-06-02, version 1.0.4* Game is amazing but unfortunately there is a bag in an act 3. I couldn't pick the briefcase with money from the room after elevator. He just can't see it. Bit disappointed ( ### 5/5 — Fantastic Point & Click Adventure *2023-04-05, version 1.0.4* Wow, what a great game!! Providing hours of gameplay and I had no glitches or problems whatsoever (playing on iPhone 11). Highly recommend this game if you like Monkey Island or Thumbleweed Park. ### 2/5 — Lack of creativity *2023-03-18* Okay I just completed this game 25 years after it came out. I know it’s a pretty old game, but I know other 25 yo games, which is much better then this. The locations are fine, the story is ok. But quests doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s totally random. Whatever logical you could think would be cut off. All the puzzles in this game are totally illogical and that’s what annoying me the most ### 2/5 — It’s impossible to play on my iPhone 7 *2023-01-17, version 1.0.4* It won’t load the graphics are glitching and they talk and it cuts out then the controls won’t work at all I don’t know if my iPhone 7 is just to old to play this on or if it’s just not made well but either way I’m deleting it and requesting a refund as soon as it shows me I’m allowed to request a refund ### 5/5 — Great game for noir and Casablanca fans *2022-12-29* Hint I learned 3/4 through the game: if you hold your finger down and run it over the screen, you can see all the routes to leave the screen and all the items you can investigate. Really helps with puzzle solving. ### 5/5 — 10 out of 10! *2022-10-30* For a game from 1997, this is fantastic even for today’s standards! I assume it’s been reworked a bunch to work on iOS, but I was still blown away by the quality of this game. The graphics were excellent, the story was very creative, the music was very cool, and the voice acting was top-notch. A lot of humor as well, and with a film-noir vibe. I will admit, it was a bit tricky to solve, but I feel that’s what also made it good. It wasn’t too easy. And if I got stuck, I just went to a walkthrough. There were no glitches, and it would auto-save whenever you accomplished anything significant. Thank you to LucasArts for producing the game to begin with, and thank you to Apple for putting it out again. It’s well worth the $5 if you enjoy adventure games that are different and creative. 👍 ### 5/5 — So so so good *2022-10-01, version 1.0.4* This was just brilliant…I wish I could forget it and play it again! You went through so many richly developed environments and I just loved it. Yeah, I had to look up solutions every once in a while but it was worth it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kein Ton auf iOS 26.1 *2025-12-15* Mega Spiel! Ich habe es damals super gefeiert, leider in 2025 trotz allen mega Techs unmöglich zu spielen ### 1/5 — Sound does not play *2025-11-29, version 1.0.4* Sound does not play ### 1/5 — Kein Sound *2024-03-13* Ich bekomme keinen Sound bei allen Spielen. Das gilt auch für die anderen Spiele aus dem Bundle. iPad Pro (11 Zoll, 4. Generation) 17.3.1 ### 1/5 — Unplayable due to glitch *2022-02-23, version 1.0.4* One of the main characters has disappeared and I can’t advance without him (Glottis in the forest). It’s a known problem with no solution and the developers haven’t bothered to fix it ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-02-01, version 1.0.4* Just tried to replay as I love this game. There is a bug at the beaver dam, supposed to go to a cut scene after unlocking the gate, and nothing happens, and so no way to play the remainder of the game. ### 1/5 — The free version of fitting a kitchen utensil into an electric socket saves money and headache *2020-11-16, version 1.0.4* And also $2.99 plus taxes, countless hours of your life. 4 stars for concept 5 stars for pulling it off 3 stars for a primer to game design and development, 1990s-present -10 stars for the never-ending nightmare of this experience and desecration of what you hoped it would be; the nostalgia you sought; the brilliance you hoped would finally shine; the...&$!? whatever you came here for TLDR: A hot, handheld mess that makes Full Throttle-for-mobile seem almost enjoyable. Use disposable income on Broken Age. Pray Double Fine folk regroup and blow gourds again. Drop them a line—you’ve got the number :) ### 1/5 — Bug *2020-10-17* Bonjour, je n’arrive pas à sortir de l’inventaire et d’utiliser les objets. Je suis coincée. ### 1/5 — No AppleTV support *2020-08-15, version 1.0.4* I don’t like the borders. No full screen support and I couldn’t find option to sync my PS4 controller. Also, no AppleTV support! Just AirPlay. I’ve requested a refund for these reasons. Otherwise, the original PC version was a very entertaining game. ### 1/5 — I want my money back! *2020-06-01, version 1.0.4* How do I get my money back!!!!!!!!!! Game freezes every time I look at the inventory. WHERE IS THE RESPONSE FROM The DEVELOPERS!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Black screen *2020-05-24, version 1.0.4* Update: *Tried to get a refund, got refused. Rip off as app has known faults not fixed from a year ago* Can’t play, got to year three, screen went black but music is still playing, really don’t feel like repeating two parts of the game again, this issue affects others as per reviews, sort it out or give a refund for an unplayable game. Also it’s difficult to navigate on a touchscreen, you have yo keep pressing select or exit or press and hold hoping it’ll work after a few goes. Game itself is good but hard, terrible ios version. Buy the pc version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso! *2026-04-29* Excelente jogo!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-12-02, version 1.0.4* I probably rated this game as 1 star in an earlier review because I was stupid. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-03-27, version 1.0.4* Storytelling at its finest and an exceptional soundtrack. ### 5/5 — ... *2025-03-11, version 1.0.4* AMAZING! I love it so much and I love it SOOO much I've played it like 3 times! ### 5/5 — Is working perfectly *2024-07-24, version 1.0.4* I love this game and I'm really happy for the opportunity to play it again. ### 5/5 — Clássico *2024-06-21* Esse jogo marcou minha infância. Ele é muito bom, com uma história rica e personagens envolventes. A dublagem em português BR deixa ele ainda melhor! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-06-03, version 1.0.4* Great story and adventure ### 5/5 — Pure Classic and many memories *2024-01-21, version 1.0.4* It's been 25 years since the first release in 1998! TIME FLIES! WOW! I was 11 years old and literally obsessed with LucasArts' adventure games. They literally impregnated my imagination forever. This first 3D take on the genre was also groundbreaking! I'm so lucky to have grown up with such inspirational pieces of art. The game still holds up pretty well, and this remastered version is great for introducing this adventure to a new generation of gamers, or anyone up for an unforgettable story. These dialogues are timeless. The language and conversations in this story have endured beautifully, still resonating with contemporary audiences. You have to get used to some of the game's mechanics. I wasn't expecting the iOS version to play the way it does, but it only took a matter of minutes to adjust. Thanks, Tim! ### 5/5 — Great Fandango *2023-09-16, version 1.0.4* Had to rewrite my review. After an initial crash and failure to reload I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I had to start from the beginning but then no trouble. I had one glitch in the escape room with the axe where I dropped it at edge of screen and couldnt pick it back up but as I’d recently saved it I just went back and ensured I didn’t drop it in the same place! Love this game. Wonderful soundtrack, beautiful design, characters and scripts are really funny, witty and entertaining. A must if you’ve never played it before. Just make sure you examine EVERYTHING! ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2023-07-04, version 1.0.4* My husband and I played this while stuck together out of town. Great fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
