Grim tales Bloody Mary

Enjoying the game apart from the fact that the Apple Pencil will not work on tapping the sparkles. Please mend this. Thanks

Also purchased and deleted and re downloaded and it seems to think I didn’t purchase it now. Please sort this out.

Many thanks

Very colorful!

I enjoyed the scenery and the sample game was great but didn’t last very long.

Glitch

I try to tap the toy trumpet but it won’t work.

Rebuy

I finished the game before and now I have to buy it again that is crazy

Finally able to play

After waiting so long to be able to play and only to off of my iPad, it wasn’t so bad. It was fun and so were the extras. It was an interesting take on the legend.

Actually really good

I originally thought this was one of those ‘pick up and put wherever you like’ games, but after playing it for a while, I found that the story of the 2 chapters really tie together, and I think that’s really good! -X640

Major tapping recognition problem!

This is an ongoing problem that was in reviews from a year ago! Has not gotten better; unlike the other reviewer I gave up tapping n the toy trumpet in the music room; I have other games I can play.

Great game but....

The game was great when it worked. The hang ups were many but if you want a great older game this is one of the better ones. Could only rate a 3 but would have given it a 5 if not for the problems with the game.

Play once, play forever....LIES

Why are all of my games I purchased since 2014 gone? And they now are reissued and saying I have to pay 6 dollars for the same game I’ve already purchased?! I purchased this one already restore my purchase!

Amazing

I love playing this game

So frustrated!

I am having the hardest time with this game. I cannot move forward as I am unable to retrieve the trumpet in the music room HOP. I have closed the game down, reinstalled, tapped the trumpet constantly, etc. I’ve tried everything including emailing the “help online” and received nothing. It’s really too bad because I was enjoying the game. Would really like to continue with the game, but at this point I think I just want my money back.

Definitely worth the money

Very enjoyable game. Not a lot of tedious back and forth scene jumping like other games. Great story. Bonus chapter was fun. Like others who stated this in previous reviews, the touch sensitivity has issues at times and yes the trumpet was a problem for me as well. All in all definitely worth the money.

Could’ve been great, but....

Update: Upon playing this game again, the tapping has actually gotten worse! I had to tap on the toy trumpet over 100 times! I don’t know if iOS updates have affected this or what, but’s it’s ridiculous. So I knocked off another star.
I love the Grim Tales series, and even though this one doesn’t have Richard 😰, it was good. The main story and the bonus chapter do not make sense together. So you’re broken-hearted over your husband’s death, so you say a curse into a mirror to give you immortality? Okaaaaaaay....
The tapping in HOS is, as others have mentioned, an exercise in futility. Forget getting the “10 in 10” achievement, bc you have to tap repeatedly on some items to get them. I’ve tapped on an item 4-5 times, thought ok that’s not it, looked around, back to same item another several taps, looked again, finally tapped like 10 times and yep it was that item all along.
The game is lengthy, and after you complete the bonus chapter you can access the Hall of Memories, which revisits some HOS and puzzles but in a different way, with a story involved. Very cool. The puzzles are original, some easy, some harder, but all very doable. The scenes are beautifully done, love the Disney princess-type room, done in a grim kind of way. Collectibles are 12 statues scattered throughout the game, which allow you to play “movies” in the cinema.
All in all really enjoyed except for the taptaptaptaptap....

Mags

I’ve tried to continue this game over and over, but it won’t let me take the trumpet in the hidden object part, rubbish paid £ 6.99 for this !!!,

Full of bugs

Had a job to play this game, full of bugs, had to stop at a hidden object game, because the last item I found was a trumpet, but as much as I tapped on it the game wouldn’t respond!

Just Buy It!

Good story, good graphics, great mini games and HOS, lots of extras and the main game and bonus chapter are both super long! This game really has it all so go for it!

Very Detailed Game

I enjoyed it. Many rooms to explore. My suggestion for making it better would be to have the characters' mouths moving. Nice sound and cool effects.

I was ripped off!

I downloaded the free version of this game coming up to the point where you have to pay £6.99 to carry on so I decided to treat myself. No everytime I try to open the app it shuts down and kicks me out. I’ll think twice before I decide to buy another game.

Glitched out

I probably got most of the way through - after paying for the game - and then one of the HO scenes will NOT let me pick up one of the objects. So, obviously, I cannot proceed.
I am also going to give every Big Fish game a 1-star rating until they stop their false advertising. Have any of you tried re-playing one of the games you purchased over 4 or 5 years ago? You cannot. I contacted BF and they acknowledged that their older games do not work with newer OS’s. Yet they are still advertising with “pay once, play forever.” According to California law, that constitutes false advertising.

Bloody Mary

Sorry I didn’t read all of the reviews before I downloaded and paid for this game. Tapping is poor and no amount of tapping or reinstalling lets you tap and get the trumpet. The strategy guide words are over top of the trumpet and no amount of tapping will allow you to get the trumpet. My bad. I will be more careful and not choose any more of these games.
