But the work around is simply to play without it. Get that fixed and the app is five stars! Great, innovative puzzler. And perfect for the Halloween season. For crash report purposes, I'm on an iPad 2 (wifi, 16GB) with iOS 6.0 ### 4/5 — Great game *2012-05-24, version 1.1* This is a fun physics/puzzle game. It's of the genre where you make the use of light, the puzzle coming from reflecting the light into different parts of the screen. Reminiscent of the games Reflexions, Light the Flower, and Optia. But where most of these games have spaces that are kind of sterile, Helsing's Fire fills the screen with a funny story and interesting visuals. I like how you are given the option of moving the light source around the screen, it gives you more control over the game. And the multiple villians are able to move around the screen (potentially attacking your light source) and sometimes need multiple light colours to defeat them (coloured tonics change the colour of your light source), which gives the game complexity. An awesome addition to the genre. ### 5/5 — Great Game, but,..... *2012-03-18, version 1.1* It crashes whenever I try to type in the info for Crystal... SO I can't log into Crystal =/ Other than that, terrific puzzle game using light in order to find the best position so you can take out color coded monsters. ANY puzzle fan should have this.... If you are not sure, just try out the Lite version, it should be enough to make you hit the buy button.... But if you want my opinion, just hit BUY now, and don't play the lite, it's not needed. This game is that awesome ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2012-03-17, version 1.1* Crash bug: trying to create a crystal account, it crashes when it needs to summon the keyboard to type a username. I can't create an account, to share my progress from my iPhone to my iPad. So that's a bummer. But it's a great game, all the same. I've recommended it to a lot of friends, and no one has been sorry. ### 5/5 — Clever in every way *2012-01-31, version 1.1* The inventiveness of this game shows in every aspect. The animations are great, the wit shows throughout, and the basic puzzle solving gameplay is intuitive and clever. I'm glad I got this. ### 4/5 — Good *2012-01-13, version 1.1* A very addictive and enjoyable game, although it does get a little 'samey' after a while. ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2011-12-01* Great design, complex puzzles, fun and addictive. ### 3/5 — iCloud support? *2011-11-14, version 1.1* Great game. Would you please add iCloud support so that game progress will carry over from iPhone to iPad, and vice-versa? ### 5/5 — What a charming game *2011-09-18, version 1.1* Wonderful game. Interesting mechanics, fresh idea. Charming presentation, really nice difficulty curve that introduces the many puzzle elements at a really nice pace. All in all, a great game. ### 5/5 — Best iPad game *2011-08-24, version 1.1* I absolutely love this game. It was one of the first games I put on my iPad when I got it many months ago and I am still in love with this game. Great graphics, humor and music that really fit the game and an easy-to-learn game play that continues to challenge me. It is a unique concept and perfectly executed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy after every level completion *2019-08-19, version 1.7* Sorry, love this game but it's so buggy that it always gets hung up after i complete any level. Would love to write a real review because my comments would be favorable, but am giving one star for now to please flag in their radar. Anyone else having this issue? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work in iOS 8 *2015-08-31, version 1.1* This game hasn't been updated since 2011, and has finally stopped working altogether under iOS 8. It certainly won't run on my iPad Air 2, running iOS 8.4! Too bad, it was a great game when it did work. I'd hope for a fix, but Clickgamer is long gone, and Chillingo doesn't answer email queries about fixing this title. ### 1/5 — Poor *2015-08-18, version 1.1* Full of bug never been about to play rip off and want my money back ! ### 1/5 — Blank screen, do not buy *2015-01-11, version 1.1* Loved this game on my iPhone but when I purchased it for the iPad it shows nothing but a blank screen after going through the intro. ### 1/5 — Broken *2014-12-14, version 1.1* Broken on IOS 8. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Was a great game no longer works in iOS8 *2014-11-13, version 1.1* While this WAS a great game, it no longer usable as of iOS 8. The game board is just a blank green screen now. ### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 8 *2014-10-11, version 1.1* This game used to be really fun, but since upgrading now when I open it I am able to select a level, but then the playing screen goes completely brown, apart from when I place a torch and the whole screen goes yellow. Have tried both reinstalling the application and rebooting the iPad. Still broken. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2014-10-05, version 1.1* Full of bugs, totally unplayable. What a ripoff! Come on Apple, you shouldn't have apps like this in the store. ### 2/5 — Clever game, lame gender roles *2014-06-01, version 1.1* The gameplay is interesting, but the use of fainting "lovely ladies" with little valentine hearts as a game element is really icky. This was obviously written by boys for boys and I wish I hadn't paid for it. ### 2/5 — It's OK *2014-03-22, version 1.1* Expensive for what it is ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Desired update at last ! *2015-11-10, version 1.5* After what seems to be an eternity, I can finally move on to the next part of this wonderful game. Thank you for the update. Better late than never, I suppose. Great game ! ### 5/5 — Works again in iOS 9 *2015-09-20, version 1.1* After not working at all in iOS 8, it now works with iOS 9. Really surprised since there hasn't been an app update in 4 years. ### 5/5 — Broken and abandoned in iOS 8 *2015-02-22, version 1.1* Can't see anything after loading a level. Completely broken. ### 5/5 — Eez- how you say- original. *2013-04-26, version 1.1* This is one of the most amazing apps I have ever seen. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION You line up the torch to light up all the monsters of one color (but no maidens!). You press the tonic of that color and WHAM!, instant dead (or re-dead) monster. Some monsters can attack the torch or have other powers to provide a truly unique experience like no other that is original, unique, and like no other. Wow. Deja vu. Oh, and you had better like synth music. And fist bumps. And a SPOILER ALERT. Fooled ya. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2013-04-25, version 1.1* Quirky, funny, genuinely entertaining. The background music alone is worth the price of admission. ### 5/5 — Charming, *2013-03-22, version 1.1* A quirky indie game that's a truly original puzzler. ### 5/5 — Cheesed-out Graphics *2012-12-12, version 1.1* Who cares if it's HD when it looks like Atari! The game, though, is most excellent! Many levels, gets progressively more challenging, and except for the stinking humans always in the bloody way it's great to blast away the monsters. Get it and get sucked in! Oh, and the music is pretty terrible!! Goes great with the graphics though... Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Perfect use of a touchscreen for a game *2012-11-17, version 1.1* Awesome game. Love every bit of it. Challenging, but not aggrevating. The music is horrible. That's my only criticism. ### 5/5 — awesome *2012-11-03, version 1.1* usually get bored with ipad games. this is just fantastic and addicting and no stupid in game purchases. ### 5/5 — Love it!!!!! *2012-09-16, version 1.1* My sons and I love this clever, funny game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
