### 2/5 — Needs tweaking

*2024-11-09*

I’m using an IPhone . Every time I try to place an object my whole screen slides. The game isn’t locked on. Any ideas?

### 1/5 — Won’t even start

*2024-02-12, version 1.0.7*

I have tried several times to reset and  the game, but all I get is your logo spinning round. Such a shame as love your games but this is completely disappointing ☹️😔

### 1/5 — What is going on

*2024-01-26*

It tells me it’s not available in the US but I just played

**Developer response:** Hello! Could you please tell us if this provlem is still relevant to you? We'll look into it!

### 4/5 — Good game but bonus has  continuity issues

*2023-01-13*

Love the Grim Tales series and this one is as fun as others. However, Bonus Chapter has continuity issues. Who is David? He just suddenly shows up as the villain with no explanation. Nor is there any explanation of the witch and her hatred of Anna. I know some of these mobile games often have missing pieces of information, but this kind of makes the bonus chapter a little less enjoyable because you spend so much time wondering where these people came from.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for your honest review. We promise to consider your feedback for our future updates and projects, thank you for helping us improve!

### 3/5 — Main game ok

*2021-01-21*

Bonus game buggy

**Developer response:** Hello!  We're very sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please share more details with us via support@elephant-games.com.  We'll make it right :)

### 5/5 — Another great one Elephant!

*2021-01-17, version 1.0.3*

Another fantastic game. I’ve been starved of good quality games for so long!
I know to look out for the little elephant now!

### 3/5 — Good game but bad function

*2021-01-03*

Game is good and quality is good but it does not work on an iPhone 12 very well because the screen falls off the side of the screen of your phone. Every time you try to pick up a tool you swipe out of the game. It’s very annoying. You also can’t see somethings on the screen because they’re not in view.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for reporting this issue! Can you please share more details with us via support@elephant-games.com? We'll make it right :)

### 1/5 — Problems

*2020-10-03*

I purchased the game, the story boards load but game play screen doesn’t fully load. It is not possible to play. I have purchased several of the Grim Tales but this is a bust.

**Developer response:** Hello! We've been experiencing technical since since iOS 14 release and we're doing our best to find a solution as soon as possible. We're very sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for understanding!

### 4/5 — Great game.

*2020-08-08, version 1.0.1*

I do love Elephant games, this was a bit dark in places making it difficult to find morphing objects. The game itself didn’t seem very long but the bonus was alright. The map was excellent and a good variety of puzzles of mixed ability but the hos were just boring random tapping. I missed one collectible which I couldn’t get at the end and what was the point of collecting screen saver pictures when there wasn’t anything to do with them, so considering these points I have deducted one star. I still look every day trying to find reduced games to no avail. I had an email to say Chimeras 11 the price of greed was available on the App Store but it isn’t, just the original game which I have already played, it is time these developers helped us during the lockdown.
