### 1/5 — 作者の脳内当てゲーム

*2026-04-07*

ヒントと答えのロジックが一致していない
•	同一ステージ内でルールが変わる
•	UI配置と解答位置が対応していない
•	複数解釈が可能なのに正解が1つに固定されている

パズルになってない。

### 4/5 — Intéressant

*2025-02-10*

Visuel bien fait mais indices  frustrantes car pas toujours cohérentes avec la mise en scène. 
Exemple, entre autre:  les canons du bateau ??

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated!

### 1/5 — Frust

*2024-10-14*

Statt Lust. Ist was für Mathe-Freaks. War ich nie. Nicht meins. Danke.

### 5/5 — Great Brain Tease

*2024-08-18, version 1.56*

Really challenging and fun.

### 1/5 — Terrible. Just doesn’t work.

*2024-07-19*

I have done many many of these, and this is literally impossible. Even with the help there’s nothing on screen that you can do to continue on and that was on multiple puzzles.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, feel free to get in touch with me at https://xsgames.co, I'll be glad to help ;)

### 4/5 — Tricky

### 5/5 — ゲームは感覚的に楽しめる芸術的小宇宙

*2024-06-19*

シリーズ1&2の箱は3面エニグマと開放ボタン1面のシンプル構成。mystery boxを攻略するのに必要なエニグマ-クリプテックス回路をアタマに作る為に欠かせない。シリーズ3、4、5はホント凄く面白い裏面角っこあーでもないコレならどうだビンゴだガラガラ開けて開けて多彩なギミック独特の雰囲気飽きない繰り返し最高！分からなくて暫く置いたままの開いてない箱に新たな回路学んで再チャレンジ解けた時の感覚はコレ以外に無いくらい。謎の組み合わせが超楽しいから大好き❤

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed this puzzle game series!

### 5/5 — Another gem

*2023-12-24*

I really like this series of games, I don’t understand how people find it too obscure, it would be boring if too easy, great graphics, nice music, excellent puzzles, what’s not to like? I also love the pierces of information you learn from completing chapters. Excellent game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, happy you had fun with my puzzle games! Try The Da Vinci Cryptex too for more fun at https://xsgames.co  ;)
