### 4/5 — Mystery tales 11

*2026-06-20, version 1.1.1*

4*

### 4/5 — Glitch in Bonus Game

*2023-04-10, version 1.1.0*

Just a heads up to the ones who coded this game, there’s a glitch in the bonus game where even if you solve the puzzle to drive the car, it doesn’t register that you have. I ended up hitting skip after trying for 5-10 minutes and shouldn’t have had to use a gem as I had the puzzle correct the whole time (the complete image after hitting skip confirmed it was identical to what I had). Not a big deal but needs to be fixed to play game completely if someone doesn’t purchase gems

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work well on an iPad

*2022-12-01, version 1.1.0*

Touch features are terrible.

### 3/5 — Bonus chapter

*2022-07-31, version 1.0.8*

Can’t play bonus chapter symbol is missing.

### 2/5 — Final puzzle in main game is rigged!

*2021-12-20, version 1.0.6*

I love this game, don’t get me wrong, but the final puzzle in the main game has to be rigged to give players ZERO chance of winning!! There is also no option to choose between easy mode and hard mode! How unfair is that! It’s just impossible to win! I’m deleting the game and will never re-download until the final puzzle is either fixed or taken away completely! 😤🤬 I would have given the game 5 stars, but I had to take 3 away because of this!

### 2/5 — No yellow ball

*2021-05-13, version 1.0.4*

Was enjoying it until I came across the drill bit game, there is no yellow ball to guide through?? So I can’t go any further.

### 2/5 — No Bonus Chapter?

*2021-05-04, version 1.0.4*

First, I had to stay connected to wifi every time I played this game or it wouldn’t unlock at the beginning. Even then it would sometimes take multiple tries. Game was pretty routine, nothing new and it was short too. I assumed there’d be a bonus chapter, but after finishing the game, I couldn’t  access anything in the Extras menu. I paid full price for this game. Had a game ending bug early on in the last Domini game I played too. Oh well, back to Artifex Mundi Games for now *sigh*

### 3/5 — Bloqué à la boule jaune

*2021-04-30, version 1.0.4*

Cet épisode est intéressant, il reprend les standards de ses prédécesseurs avec un niveau de difficulté des puzzles parfois déroutant. Un moment du jeu un peu linéaire. Par contre bloque au bug de la boule jaune aussi…

### 3/5 — Fun but a bit glitchy

*2021-04-21, version 1.0.4*

I’ve played several of your games now and love them! This one, though, was a bit glitchy on some of the smaller games within the game.

### 3/5 — Need to fix the yellow ball issue, otherwise good game

*2021-04-19, version 1.0.4*

🥎

### 3/5 — No yellow ball

*2021-04-06, version 1.0.4*

There isn’t a yellow ball in the (? Drill?) to guide with the red one to push the wires on the left

### 2/5 — Glitch Seems to be pattern

*2021-04-01, version 1.0.4*

Again, glitch that probably will never get fixed like the majority of these games.  Yellow ball doesn’t drop.  Can’t cont with the game. I see someone already brought it to your attention ( month ago) and still not fixed.  Don’t plan of finishing any of their games bc of glitches that rarely get resolved.

### 3/5 — Now I’m angry!!

*2021-03-30, version 1.0.4*

Luved this game, then I got 2 the drill bit puzzle and the little orange ball ur supposed 2 push around never appeared!! I restarted twice and it never works. So now I can’t finish!! Great thx!!

### 4/5 — Yellow ball

*2021-03-18, version 1.0.4*

I started playing game twice to move yellow ball with green one,so I can get the cog, to move onto the elevator. The yellow ball does not show up at all. Why is that? Love playing game

### 1/5 — Schon wieder Bug

*2025-04-01, version 1.1.1*

Schon wieder ein Teil der Serie und ein Spiel der Firma, was ich nicht weiterspielen kann wegen eines Bugs. Die Rahmenteile im alten Casino lassen sich nicht tauschen, wie in der Anleitung beschrieben, sondern es ist eines dieser Über-Kreuz-Tauschen-Spiele (ohne das es sichtbar ist). Und wenn ich das Spiel überspringen will , stürzt es sofort ab. Echt frustrierend, wie schlecht diese Firma ihre Spiele produziert!

### 1/5 — There’s always a puzzle that costs money

*2022-05-19, version 1.0.8*

You claim these games as ‘free’ but there’s always a ‘glitch’ on a puzzle so you have to pay money to continue the game.
Also where you say “allow app to track” is where you sell our details onto other companies. Pretty deceitful, eh?
Luckily I’m protected so I’m told you’ve tried to sell my details to others and my security has blocked 139 companies/hackers.
That’s pretty disgusting…..

And I can help you by your response - I’ll write it myself….

Developer Response:
Hello! We glitch games so you waste money. Thanks for that! We also sell your details to anyone who wants to buy them! 
Sorry if you feel upset. We’ll look into it. (We most certainly won’t).

### 1/5 — And another disappointing faulty game - lousy programming!

*2021-06-05, version 1.0.5*

When in a hack do you learn to just develop one single game which works from start to end? It’s just a huge annoyance to stop and remove your games in the middle of it because you freaks just simply can not ever test what you release.

### 1/5 — Impossible de terminer le jeu

*2021-05-01, version 1.0.4*

Le bug de la balle jaune n’est toujours pas réglé, c’est frustrant. A croire qu’ils veulent qu’on paye pour pouvoir passer le mini jeu

### 1/5 — Hänge fest wegen Bug

*2021-03-13, version 1.0.4*

Beim Minispiel, wo man einen gelben Ball zu einer Öffnung bewegen soll, gibt es KEINEN gelben Ball. Das Spiel lässt sich auch nicht überspringen. Hier ist also leider Schluss mit dem Spielvergnügen.

### 1/5 — Баг

*2021-03-03, version 1.0.4*

Баг в мине игре под палубой

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on older iPads

*2023-03-02, version 1.1.0*

I’ve played a lot of Domini games & in general, they’re great. But I’m noticing issues on older devices.  In this game, it’s been made for wider/larger screens ie in the photo album where you have to rotate parts of the photos to make them together, the rotating button is so far to the left that it’s impossible to rotate some pieces. 
We’ve tried playing this game on several iPads but all had the same issue bar one, which is the latest iPad. 
I’ve now deleted the game & I will not purchase any more due to issues like this one in other Domini games. 
We can’t all afford new iPads so you’ve lost all of my Family that loved playing these games up until recently.

### 2/5 — Picture frame puzzle

*2022-05-30, version 1.0.8*

The picture frame puzzle was awful - poor instructions and impossible to work out - it made no sense at all

### 2/5 — Not worth money

*2022-02-13, version 1.0.6*

It’s another game that forces you to buy an overpriced bunch of hints and skips.  I say forced because I’ve tapped many times on an obvious item for solution and no response till I use a hint….then it responds.  Nothing to hold your interest, map totally useless and I personally dislike that orange/blue color scheme.

### 2/5 — нет монет и рубинов

*2022-01-12, version 1.0.6*

Почему я скачиваю игру и захожу в нее впервые, и у меня уже изначально ноль монет и ноль рубинов, как будто кто-то до меня тут уже поиграл? Не первый раз уже сталкиваюсь. Обычно всегда в ваших играх в качестве исходных условий игроку дается 1 рубин и 5 монет в начале игры.

### 5/5 — So that’s where that “play another game?” guy came from…

*2023-12-15, version 1.1.0*

XD Been playing these a while, always wondered where the character came from. The one who pops up at the end of a game saying, “you still have [x] gems and coins left!” or in the middle with “Play another game?”

Love the games, loved the moment of “wait a minute I recognize that guy”, 10/10

### 5/5 — Exactly how it’s described

*2021-07-04, version 1.0.5*

I’m Happy to give this game a 5 star rating as it’s exactly how they describe it. A lot of game developers exaggerate how complex or unique their game is, to which I’m often disappointed. But never with this developer. Thankyou for you honest description, it’s rare to see with games! 
Also, when it says it is totally free to play! it really is totally free to play!! Awesome ethical standards developers!  (Domini Games) 👏👏👏👍👍
Well Done!
