When will you make it compatible? ### 4/5 — Engaging! *2017-08-23* I am a big fan of these types of games. This one won me over! The graphics and design was fabulous. Most of the puzzles were great, interesting and challenging. A few were too easy and a few too hard. Puzzle for the lizard to eat the wiggle worms, and leaving footprints behind, was really ingenious and one of my favorites. Only con is often a con in this genre. Can point and click forever before finding a hidden inventory item. But that is why the great "help" button is built in. Looking forward to more like this. ### 2/5 — Boring *2017-05-09, version 1.4* It's alright ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2017-03-31, version 1.4* I like the game, the different types of puzzles, very entertaining. ### 4/5 — Interesting and fun *2017-01-05, version 1.4* I am enjoying this game. Its creative and thoughtful......I look forward to a sequel. ### 5/5 — Melissa K Heart of Gold *2016-12-26, version 1.4* This game is fantastic. I wasn't sure if I was going to buy it, but after playing the free I absolutely had to buy. I give it five stars, well worth it. ### 5/5 — Wow!! *2016-12-14* Amazing - one of the best I've played! ### 5/5 — Game *2016-12-01, version 1.4* Fun so far. ### 2/5 — Needs a Update *2016-11-12, version 1.4* Game seems to crash too often, even after deleting it then reinstalling. Biggest complaint is the sound. The game needs a third sound bar. 1: For voice 2: sound affects 3: music. It's either too loud or too soft ### 3/5 — First part was great but.... *2016-11-03, version 1.4* .....when I plaid the bonus game, it kept locking up on me. When i backed out of game and had to do some thing over. What was frustrating enough but it was worse when it just totally skipped a part. The skipping part happened to me a few times after it locked up as well as at the end.It brought right to end of game with the only option to restart and replay game. So I never got the " satisfaction feeling" of finishing the game. :( ### 5/5 — Suprb *2016-10-11, version 1.4* From simple to hard brain teasers you choose this game is a must for brain trainers. ### 4/5 — Mr Mike *2016-10-11, version 1.4* Wow I got so involved, I could not stop,great game ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! *2016-10-06* I came across this game by accident and let me tell you, it's one of the best adventure games I've played and I've pretty much played them all! The graphics are stunning. The storyline keeps you interested and I love the interaction between player and the game. I hope a sequel will be coming soon!!! All around WONDERFUL game.. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun!!! *2016-07-27, version 1.4* Great game, tons of fun. Keeps you on your toes and mind occupied. It's not easy but not so hard you give up. Can't wait for a sequel! ### 5/5 — I really liked it *2016-07-13, version 1.4* I enjoyed the game. excellent graphics and very good voice actors. ### 4/5 — Almost brilliant *2016-06-23, version 1.4* This game has gorgeous graphics, a great storyline, cinematic quality cut scenes, loads of varied and interesting puzzles and not too many HOS. I didn't find the map that useful and used the hint button a lot. I love point and click games (we need more quality ones!) and this is one of the better ones. It's a VERY long game as is the bonus chapter. I did find the main characters movements were very puppet like and the controls, especially when inspecting/turning an object, were very "sticky" which spoiled the flow of the game. Overall a really good game which could have been brilliant. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-05-30, version 1.4* I don't do reviews on games that often. This was one of the best! Make more like this!!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2016-05-29, version 1.4* Fun game! Would love to see another one! Maybe more difficult this time! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad game *2016-10-30, version 1.4* Bad game as Angkor Wat is belong to Cambodia not Thailand!!!! ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2016-10-28, version 1.4* I can't believe that you have to buy the end of the story. How sleazy. Otherwise ok. ### 1/5 — No good *2015-08-18, version 1.4* In the beginning of the game it was interesting enough but now that I have purchased the game I hate it. Complete waist of time frustrating the hint does not give you hint guide is almost impossible to understand. Why? ### 1/5 — Crap on a stick! *2015-05-28, version 1.4* I'm not sure what game the other reviewers are playing, but google it and all you see is complaints and aggravation! Using objects that don't work, having to redo parts over again if you leave and come back. Slow, hard to see graphics.... Pass x 1,000,000,000! ### 1/5 — Yuck! *2015-04-26, version 1.4* It froze! ### 1/5 — Waste of Money! Game-breaking glitch! *2015-04-14, version 1.4* I am really angry that I parted with money for a game I was enjoying but then was unable to progress in. All because I can't wash mud off something. I also have an iPhone 6 so it's not like I have an out-of-date phone either. So buyer beware. You most likely won't get your money back if you encounter this glitch. ### 1/5 — ??? *2015-04-04, version 1.4* Finished the game and when tried to play it again they want to charge me AGAIN!!! Why should I pay since I have already paid!?!?!? Robbers! ### 1/5 — Nope *2015-03-07, version 1.4* Too hard to move around and see. ### 1/5 — Large game with very little free play. *2014-09-10, version 1.4* This game should not be called "Free." Of course, any game with over 1 gig of data will have above average graphics, but there is really no game play for free users. Other than a very short demo of the first level, this is just bad and deceptive. Skip this one and download something else that you can actually play for free for more than five minutes. ### 1/5 — Not really free *2014-09-06, version 1.4* A fraction of the story is available before the whole thing locks up and you have to buy the rest. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-11-11, version 1.4* Really enjoyed this game, it is my favorite. I saved this one to play several times. The graphic are really fun. Love the 3D puzzles. I wish there were a sequel. Or more games like this. ### 5/5 — Best mobile game ever *2017-10-05, version 1.4* Really takes me back to the old Lucas Arts and Sierra games! Extremely high quality and enjoyable gameplay! Addictive! ### 5/5 — Loved it *2017-09-26, version 1.4* Great game. Worth the money ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-09-18, version 1.4* Fun game to play, a bit too much cut scene in some parts though, but otherwise great! ### 5/5 — Melissa K *2017-09-02, version 1.4* Wonderful graphics and a fun way to take a virtual vacation to learn about a country's past.b ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-04-18, version 1.4* Such a delightful departure from Big Fish one-note overpriced games. Beautiful graphics and fun puzzles. Create more! ### 5/5 — Very good game *2017-04-10, version 1.4* This is a very interesting and pretty game. Lasts a rather long time and I enjoyed playing it. Worth the money ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-03-25, version 1.4* Love this game; it's worth the purchase ### 5/5 — Melissa *2017-03-04, version 1.4* Lovely long game, bonus good too ### 5/5 — Worth downloading *2017-01-20, version 1.4* Liked the game, although I did find I got lost between the chapters and had to go through quite a few walkthroughs to find where to go, but on the whole I enjoyed it... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
