### 1/5 — Реклама каждую минуту((((

*2024-09-21, version 1.0.2*

Не нужно позиционировать игру как бесплатную, а если включаете что меру включайте …. Каждую минуту реклама, игра теряет смысл

### 1/5 — Magic city carnival

*2024-06-06, version 1.0.1*

Where is the sound????

### 1/5 — No sound

*2024-05-31, version 1.0.1*

Here we go again no voice overs and still the time clock which is a waste because we already paid for the full version. In the second scene the character stops talking. Please give us a game without problems. 

To Lynx: Thank you for all your hard work. I just wish they would listen more to you about the problems they have with these game because they are going to lose more people they already lost me with the episodes and now the full games aren’t any better.

### 2/5 — Ad overload!!!

*2025-05-27, version 1.0.4*

I love games like this but sadly this one was was unplayable due to the excessive ad interruptions. Literally every 5 to 10 seconds I would have an ad interruption in the middle of a puzzle. I understand that game sometimes have to have ads to stay free, but the amount of ads in this game is extremely excessive. Had the ads not been a problem, I would’ve given this game five stars.

### 2/5 — all fur coat

*2024-06-29*

+ve: very long & many games
-ve: the game instructions are very bad translations & are very difficult to interpret / there is no logical narrative so I have to keep asking for hints to move through the game

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you very much for your review concerning our hidden object mystery game. We are always collecting user feedback and emails that we can apply with updates.

### 2/5 — Game

*2024-05-31, version 1.0.1*

The voices I can’t hear them when they talk

### 3/5 — Games fun but has glitches

*2024-07-21, version 1.0.2*

I enjoyed the storyline but the game has a couple glitches. The characters only talked sometimes when they are supposed to all the time. A couple of the mini games kept freezing and I’d have to skip them. Also couldn’t get into a couple of the rooms without skipping it.

### 3/5 — Carnival

*2024-06-13, version 1.0.1*

Not my style. Confusing and have to make sure you don’t buy coins. The layout of items and flow of game is not relaxing. Why can’t we just have full pay once games with interesting story? Miss the games from several years ago.

### 3/5 — Hint

*2024-06-13*

Just paid the $9.99. Now I can’t any further. The hint button tells me to click between the door and blue window in the living room but nothing happens. Please enjoy my $9.99

### 3/5 — Magic city: Detectives

*2024-06-12, version 1.0.1*

### 5/5 — 💋😘

*2024-07-31, version 1.0.2*

игра прекрасная, обожаю разработчика, есть цель-пройти все ваши игры 🙆‍♂️

### 5/5 — It’s good but needs an update.

*2024-07-02*

The game itself is great graphics are good however it bugs out quite a bit, ive had to refresh chapters but it just bugs out again. Unfortunate as i paid for the no ad for this game and i can’t even enjoy it.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for taking your time to rate us 5 stars! We are glad to hear you enjoyed our search and find game.

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2024-06-26, version 1.0.1*

I enjoyed this game. The game play was interesting. There were various new and different mini games. Unfortunately I found the mini games too difficult. I think I was able to do only half of them!!! As always love to find the collectibles. I recommend this game. Thank you to the developers.

### 4/5 — Magic City Detective: The Carnival Begins by LynxMinx

*2024-06-05, version 1.0.1*

Although I disliked the episodic elements (distracting sales timer clocks and decision points), this game had many positive aspects. It was lengthy, and a strategy guide and collectibles were provided, making it seem more like the amazing CE Domini games of old. The touchscreen sensitivity wasn’t too bad, although it still needed enhancement. However, the carnival atmosphere, the magical camera, and the general gameplay was terrific. Some of the inventory usage was novel. We were treated to some new and exciting mini-games. The HO scenes had a wonderful variety. Of course, the storyline was similar to all of Domini’s plots. (Evil entity stealing souls or power for resurrection of someone or something.)
Yet the game was unique, the characters interesting and the twists and turns fantastic. Since we never played any of these episodes, it was truly similar to a full-length CE game! That is the formula which made Domini successful, and the developer needs to return to it. Forget the obnoxious clocks, episodes and useless decision points. Give us what we want, and you will start to be profitable again!
My true rating will be 4.5 stars. It was generous but I loved the game.

### 3/5 — Carnival

*2024-06-09, version 1.0.1*

Not a bad game, but I did experience several problems during play.  There was programming coding visible on one screen, and the game froze during a match 3 game in the bonus chapter.  I don’t usually play with audio on, but after reading the reviews I turned audio on and while it cut out early in the game it came back shortly after. Nothing insurmountable but glitches nonetheless. For last of QA I will rate no higher than 3.  It was overall not a bad game, and much better than recent offerings.
