Fun game but glitches

Love the game but my inventory bar doesn’t show on all levels and I had to buy deluxe for hints to access the inventory

Great game with annoying glitch.

I was really liking the game until just before I got to the mansion. Every time I clicked something, my inventory minimizes and makes it really difficult to use any item.

Would be 5 stars if…

Please for the love of all things good…fix the darn problem with the inventory and back buttons being on top of each other. The setup is so good and what I did play I loved the theme of, but even though I paid for the game I will never finish it or buy another from you unless this update. I do not want to go back and forth 50 times every time I open my inventory. I don’t know if it’s any better on iPad but it’s horrific on my iPhone. Please. Please. Please patch it. I want to know how this ends

Constant glitches

I’m barely through the game and the inventory list just disappeared. I’ve turned it off and back on and cleared my cache multiple times just to have the same glitch. Please fix this.

False advertising

Don't like how they let you play 25% of the game and then charge u $6.99. Shouldn't be in free games . False advertising

Inventory

Very fun game !!!! If you have a iPhone or iPad and the inventory is making you exit out the game or one of the rooms you have to hold on to the inventory button the minute you click on it and it’ll load up w/o making it exit . I had so much fun playing I just wish it wasn’t $6 to continue 💔

Puzzles

The maze puzzle has a flaw. After you cross boards won’t turn off the electricity. The mini game where you find the musical instruments, at least for me would not find the violin.

Alright game, poorly designed.

The game itself is pretty fun but the display is very glitchy. The inventory overlaps with the bottom trigger of the screen so you repeatedly exit the game when trying to click and drag things from it. The inventory will also refuse to open or pop up and down repeatedly without being accessed it makes the game almost impossible to play.

Original story

These days when it seems like devs just copy their games off someone else, here is an original story. Kudos.

Do Games

LOVE THEM ALL. keep ‘em coming - Please

Inventory bar glitches

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this game, up until the inventory bar keeps ‘minimising’ then when I need to use things uve collected to progress through the game, I press the inventory tab and it removes me to another room! So much so, I’ve got fed up and have deleted the game… I restarted the game 4 times and I’m still having this issue! Please look into this!

Reel fun HOP

Enjoyed this a lot.
Something more games should do— when you use the “wrong” item, instead of just a generic “you can’t use that here” message, you get a glimpse of *why* that item doesn’t work.

Plenty to do, but I wish they were cheaper

Very much enjoyed playing, but I wish they were a couple of quid cheaper so I could buy more.

Wtf!

The game was great really enjoying it, paid for the full thing, then halfway through it cancels out, said that my profile on the game was corrupted & had been deleted & wanted me to pay for the game again as well as start all over, so mad at this company, they make great games, but this is the second time this has happened to me with their games, & yes it was two different games.

What a rip-off.

Good but…

I liked the story and the game, but it’s very difficult to navigate on a phone. The item menu is in the same spot as the back button so you constantly go back when trying to use an item. What a waste of money as it’s really unplayable on a phone.

Game form is defective

Using an iPhone landscape doesn’t work with game as your inventory bar is right where your phone menu bar is.

Play this game

i’ve spent many years playing mystery puzzles, such as this, and this game is probably one of the most fun that I’ve ever had. If you want to play a game or you don’t have to spend any money and yet still have a long fun game, play this one.

Eh

The game is fine and not to difficult. I like the options they give you in order to solve puzzles, play a game or skip. I dont like that you have to pay to finish the game. And every game from them is like this.

Mystery Tales: Reel Horror by LynxMinx

Oleg, I wrote you a magnificent review of this game, extremely detail-oriented and accurate. Once again, my review has been deleted and all of them have been deleted as far as your games go. This was one of the best games you have created, but once deleted, I don’t write another review! My rating will remain at 5 stars for amazing!

Aggravating

I want to like this game but I stayed aggravated on it so much I finally just had to leave it be. If you are going to make a game at least make sure it is user friendly. For instance on the bonus chapter where it has the string game near the shore. One of the right side pieces you have to put it on the unlock button to move another piece but when you go to move it to the place it’s supposed to be at you wind up hitting the stupid x so it resets the whole game! That wouldn’t bother me as much IF the pieces were not so hard to move.
