Having since looked through the reviews, there seems to be quite a few mentions of it. I have emailed the company several times, especially as I paid for this game, but there’s been no resolution after a couple of months, nor an offer of a refund or credit towards a different game. ### 3/5 — Freezes *2022-03-20, version 1.0.3* Looks a good game but mine keeps going dark and freezing at the beginning where you listen to what they are saying? ### 3/5 — Freeze *2022-03-02, version 1.0.3* After talking to the people outside the saloon, the games freezes with a dark screen. Was going to pay for this game, but not now, until this is fixed. ### 2/5 — Gran *2022-02-28, version 1.0.3* Started out to be a good game and 15min into it ,it crashed and I tried several times but it would go no farther ### 3/5 — GUSMAR *2022-01-16, version 1.0.2* Классные игры! Но очень короткие, на самом интересном заканчиваются ### 3/5 — Not finding the love *2021-11-26, version 1.0.1* This is a good game in that there are lots of things to do and find. Unfortunately I am finding the story line boring. Will finish the game as I need entertainment for the holiday weekend. Will be glad when this is adventure is over. ### 1/5 — GLITCH NOT FIXED - TYPICAL FOR THIS DEVELOPER *2021-11-20, version 1.0.1* Have deleted and reinstalled, have started over and still no way to complete this game. This is a problem with almost all of the paid games from this developer. I’m soooooooo sick and tired of spending my hard earned money on a game that starts out enjoyable but can’t be finished the same day, or ever for at least 3 games. Maybe we should all be demanding refunds EVERY time this happens and we will get an actual response. TELLING YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS TO TAKE SCREEN SHOTS AND SEND TO YOUR SUPPORT TEAM IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT’S HAPPENING WITH THIS FREQUENCY ! Paying for and playing games are impulse buys. They are not like rent, food, medications that we need. We buy games to have fun, relax after working hard all week and you releasing game after game that can’t be played through without glitches is mean, borderline abusive and I feel like my money has been conned out of my account. I buy with the promise of an enjoyable game and get stressed. WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION ? ### 4/5 — Rush *2021-11-17* Good main game, but no sound in the bonus. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you encountered this issue while playing our item finder game. Please share it with our specialists at support.dominigames.com and try to include as much detail as possible. We appreciate your help in making our game better. ### 1/5 — Hidden Motives: Diamond Rush by LynxMinx *2021-11-17, version 1.0.1* This game was a disaster! Outside of the novelty of the Wild West setting, there was no innovation whatsoever. The graphics were faded and dull and lacked visual acuity. These were the worst graphics I have seen in quite some time. We were treated to the identical inventory usage as always: fanning smoke, plugging holes, digging, using gloves to move thorns, screwdrivers, wrenches and lock picks. It’s the same in every game. Oleg, you need a new creative team! Thank goodness we have a new Friendly Fox game to play so we WILL have novel gameplay! (Dark City: Budapest). The quality assurance was horrible. Did any of you realize that you paid to customize your game, and there were no available actions indicated on the map? Normally we have exclamation marks for actions and collectibles, and the development team omitted them, so basically you all wasted your money! In addition, some of the mini-puzzles were impossible to manipulate, such as the maze. Certain puzzles would not lock into place, so they had to be skipped. There was a general lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. Plus in the bonus adventure there was a near FATAL error. When I tried to manipulate the skeletal hands, the mini-game “disappeared “ and I couldn’t progress any further. If I clicked the hint button, it would tell me that there was nothing to be done at the location. I had to RESTART the bonus adventure and it finally worked on the second attempt. There is no excuse for this level of quality assurance. Oleg, get your act together! If I didn’t play for free, this game would have been a definite skip! My actual rating is 1.5 stars. I was extremely disappointed in the way this game functioned. I love crime-themed plot sub-genres , but this game had too many technical problems to enjoy. Don’t waste your money. Maybe if you didn’t rate it immediately upon release the developer would have an incentive to fix all the technical problems. Start being objective! I am very upset for the gamers. Most of you (practically all of you) do not realize that every Domini game is identical, and the developer needs to give us unique inventory usage and perfect gameplay. Enough is enough! Why don’t you start releasing EIPIX already? They always had the most unusual inventory usage, many different alternative puzzles and unique storylines! I killed myself to obtain those games for Domini, and Oleg won’t even give them a chance. It’s unfortunate because the Domini games have been dull and stale, and we deserve some exciting gameplay! Gamers, if you don’t ask, you don’t get, so I urge you to write to Domini if you want those EIPIX games. Don’t you all remember how much you loved them? Attention: Domini Support! The gamers don’t NEED to write to you to inform you of the technical issues! All you have to do is read the reviews to see what they are experiencing. They are telling you during the review. Don’t worry, gamers. I wrote on your behalf anyway. You deserve way better games. Oleg, if I were you, I would seriously discount the next game for the players after this mess. How dare you charge so much for such a poorly organized and cheaply created game with a huge host of quality assurance issues! Lynxie wishes you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! ### 2/5 — So much for wild Wild West. *2021-11-15, version 1.0.1* I’m not happy at all with this game. Map doesn’t tell you where to go and you can’t see the collections at all. Touch sensitive while playing mini games. Please fix as I was looking forward to playing. Update November 14th. I finished the main and got stuck in the bonus chapter where the arm of the skeleton don’t work it throws you out. If this game didn’t have all these problems it would’ve been a better game ### 1/5 — Pagar para seguí!!! *2021-11-14, version 1.0.1* Cuando otros juegos avanzas conforme juegas este tienes que pagar para avanza que triste 😞 ### 1/5 — Проблема *2021-11-14, version 1.0.1* Здравствуйте ! После решения головоломки, ни как не получается взять магнит у скелета . Я наверно единственный кто оплатил игру целиком ? А вы купили бургер на 20 человек и не можете его поделить. ? ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2021-11-14, version 1.0.1* I was excited to play this new release and was prepared to pay the $6.99 to play the whole game. Unfortunately, the first 15% of the game (the free part) was so glitchy there was no way I was going to pay money to put up with all of the annoyances throughout the entire game. Maybe after the kinks are worked out I will try this one again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t advance, no hints *2022-10-15, version 1.0.5* This is the second games that I purchased from these developers with the same problem. I’m ~3/4 the way through the game and everything is locked and I can’t advance. Hints tell me there is nothing to do. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Diamond rush *2022-04-10, version 1.0.3* Even after reinstalling the game it still dimmed and froze at the same spot after the townspeople spoke. please fix as I can’t continue. When is this game going to be fixed? I keep checking to see if there is an update to address this problem but so far nothing! ### 1/5 — La ruée *2022-03-26, version 1.0.3* Bonjour, le jeu plante dès que l’on sort du saloon. Dommage, il commençait bien! ### 1/5 — Totally bugged *2022-03-24, version 1.0.3* I have only managed to get to the second scene. After the people talk it just goes shaded and won’t go any further. The same thing happens when I try to change volume. It is unplayable. DO NOT BUY. ### 1/5 — Nul *2022-03-10, version 1.0.3* Le jeu plante dès la première énigme ### 1/5 — Can not play *2022-02-18, version 1.0.3* I paid for this game and I can not play. It starts out fine, but when you leave the tavern the screen freezes and won’t let me go any further. I would like a refund ### 1/5 — Screen goes black *2022-02-17, version 1.0.3* The screen is going black and I bought the game I’m not happy I want a refund or fix the problem please ### 1/5 — Exactly what Lynx Minx said and has been saying! *2021-12-06, version 1.0.2* Oleg, please listen to what Lynx Minx has been saying for a very long time! I haven’t purchased your games in quite some time due to all the issues Lynx Minx points out. Along with said issues, the F2P is an insult to not only our pocketbooks,but to the dedicated players who so love HOA games.I want to support your efforts and loved past games, but the declining quality and innovation is making it difficult. Please bring on Eipix and please take the time to make 1 quality game rather than an assembly line of games full of bugs. ### 1/5 — Poorly conceived *2021-11-21, version 1.0.1* This game was a disaster from start to finish. The only thing original was the western theme. The map does not indicate either actions available or collectibles. The mini games are iffy and some don’t work at all. We deserve better than this. How about releasing some EIPIX games?? ### 1/5 — Glitch *2021-11-21, version 1.0.1* Bought the game and then now there a glitch I can't finish the game I delayed the game twice and it still glitches at same spot I even started a new game and still not working I have reported this issue and I'm not getting any reply for a refund!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2021-12-02, version 1.0.2* Spannend und abwechslungsreich 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Rush✨ *2021-11-18, version 1.0.1* I enjoyed this game, no glitches or problems happened. Good story, decent voice actors & splendid puzzles. Domini always make decent HOPA games. My 2 points of annoyance with the game are, the match 3 game that is available to play instead of finding items could of been more western in design to match the theme of the game & the map didn’t show the usual places of interest and collectibles available signs. These 2 things have always been included in the games, please Domini don’t change the map dynamics. Thank you for another great game👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Big fish *2021-11-17, version 1.0.1* I love it ### 5/5 — Lo bueno se paga *2021-11-16, version 1.0.1* Yo Pago ### 5/5 — Finally a new theme! *2021-11-13, version 1.0.1* I appreciated the change in theme from the usual horror, sci-fi and fantasy games. The update seems to have fixed the “no sound in bonus game” issue, but I had to go into the menu/sound settings to turn the volume sliders up to hear the sound! The sound was off by default🤷🏻‍♀️ (At first I thought the update hadn’t fixed anything, and all I heard was light background noise like water dripping). ### 5/5 — 🥰👍💫 *2021-11-11, version 1.0* I hope this going to be the start of a new series it was brilliant! Thanks for all the new games! 😘 ### 5/5 — Wieder ein fantastisches Spiel *2021-11-10, version 1.0* Es macht einfach Spaß Spiele von Dominigames zu spielen. Es ist die Auswahl bei den Aufgaben zwischen leicht und schwer. Aber auch die Möglichkeit zwischen WBS und 3-gewinnt zu wählen ist nicht zu verachten. Such-, Sammel-, sowie Chamäleonobjekte sind vorhanden. Das einzig Negative ist in diesem Spiel die Karte die nicht sehr schön gestaltet ist. Aber für den schnellen Schauplatzwechsel reicht sie aus. Weiter so! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — These are getting better and better *2021-11-10, version 1.0* Absolutely loved it especially the gorgeous scenes. The sound isn’t working in the bonus chapter though. ### 4/5 — Интересная игра! *2022-02-23, version 1.0.3* Интересная, но только пробный период, дальше платно 😭 ### 4/5 — Not bad *2021-12-16, version 1.0.2* One of the better sampler games I’ve tried. Puzzles not too hard. Hint refills quickly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
