## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Black water town

*2026-02-08, version 1.0.2*

I’m begging please bring back black water town it was hands down the best game yall made🙏

### 1/5 — Keyboard doesn’t work

*2018-09-06, version 1.0.2*

Looks like it could be a fun game but the top row of letters are grayed out and are necessary to complete the first set of puzzles so you can’t continue the game.

### 1/5 — Unable to progress past entering name due to the iOS keyboard top row of letters being unusable

*2018-09-01*

Don’t purchase as cannot get past entering name unless you only use the middle and bottom row of letters. the first task which is a computer password cannot be completed

### 1/5 — Keyboard still frozen

*2018-08-25, version 1.0.2*

You think they could have fixed this by now. Ridiculous! Even $.99 is too much for a game you can’t play.

### 1/5 — Want a refund

*2018-06-08, version 1.0.2*

I should have looked at reviews first. You can’t use the keyboard in the game because the entire first row of letters is frozen.

### 1/5 — Not working after payment

*2018-06-01, version 1.0.2*

The scene where we need to pluck flowers and place them just doesn't work. Paid the amount and now nothing works

### 1/5 — Ugh!!

*2018-05-23, version 1.0.2*

Can’t even get thru the first scene. The keyboard wasn’t working to type the password.

### 1/5 — Never tales:smoke and mirrors

*2015-11-16*

This game would be great if it allowed me to load and play. It did cost £2:29. Now I have paid for it it keeps kicking me out.

### 2/5 — Seems like a great game but I refuse to spend more

*2020-03-28, version 1.0.2*

This game seems great, and I have bought several dozen Big Fish games, spending hundreds of dollars, only to find the vast majority have been deleted from the App Store and are no longer available. I won’t spend another dollar unless they come back. What a rip off- I’m extremely disappointed.

### 2/5 — WANT A REFUND

*2019-05-19, version 1.0.2*

loved the demo, but when i bought the game it doesn’t let me play! i’m not even able to enter the game as it keeps exiting out everytime, i just wasted my money

### 5/5 — Free play

*2015-12-21, version 1.0.2*

I have the iPhone and on Apple you have to pay for everything and it won't take any of my cards so I can't get the full version of these games and I love them just wish I didn't have to always purchase full version wish you had a full version for free so I could finally finish one

### 5/5 — Well worth the price

*2015-11-16, version 1.0.2*

This was one of the best Big Fish games I've ever played... And I've played a lot! The graphics are excellent, the games are the right level of difficulty and the storyline is actually good!
