### 5/5 — легенда

*2025-12-21*

ох блин, это одна из моих любимых игр детства. удивлена, что до сих пор 
поддерживается и выходят обновления. да, игра немножко в некоторых моментах кривовата, но все равно очень любима. спасибо разработчикам за ваш труд!

**Developer response:** Спасибо за чудесный отзыв, приятной вам игры!

### 2/5 — Награда за отравленную марионетку

*2025-08-10, version 1.11.28*

Почему нет соответствующей награды за очки по лечению отправленной марионетки, я получила 5000 очков. А награда была маленький мешок.??

### 5/5 — Отличная игра)

*2025-06-16, version 1.11.28*

Рекомендую для любителей головоломок и детективов

### 1/5 — Игры нет. Исправили пружинку, а запороли саму игру. Класс.

*2025-04-15, version 1.11.16*

Ошибка загрузки 2032. И тормоз намертво. Ни на что не реагирует. Кнопки закрыть окно нет. Только убить процесс. У меня нет никаких открытых окон, что же так смущает вашу игру, разработчики? Все иные игры других фирм загружаются и не стопорятся от «неустойчивого соединения».

### 5/5 — D

*2025-02-26, version 1.11.16*

Перестало работать приложение, выбивает ошибку (

### 1/5 — Не грузиться гра.

*2025-02-25, version 1.11.16*

Гра не загружається на початковому етапі кімнати. Я втратила вже більше тижня!!! Я втрачаю прогрес, подарунки і сюжет!!!
Так було до оновлення і після оновлення.🤷🏻‍♀️
Виправіть, бо я робила все, що могла.

### 4/5 — Таймер

*2025-02-21, version 1.11.12*

Игра нравится, но не могу собрать коллекцию «Таймер», потому что нет пружины (часть коллекции), хотя я ее получала за выполненное задание. Купить ее в магазине нельзя
Что делать и почему она пропала ?…

### 3/5 — Баг

*2025-02-04, version 1.11.12*

После нажатия на крысу кружок не пропадает. Неудобно играть. Убирается только закрытии приложения. Плюс все очень мелко даже на большом экране.

### 4/5 — Добавляйся в игру FeU-WBe

*2024-12-10, version 1.10.91*

Игра классная! Люблю ее и играю ооочень долго! НО, очень долго восстанавливаются жизни… ждёшь, до посинения! Сделайте что-нибудь, чтобы жизни быстро восстанавливались! И опять донаты.. слишком много. Я не могу донатить в игру.

### 4/5 — Редактирую отзыв) разработчики слышат и слушают)

*2024-11-24, version 1.10.91*

Вкратце, были частые вылеты. Разработчики услышали и устранили данную проблему (почти, все же бывает вылетает, но редко). Спасибо им большое, творческих успехов и печенек :3

Коротко об игре: интересно, затягивает, но.. не хватает жизни на прохождения комнат, либо жди сутки, либо донать. Можно было бы и задонатить чуток, если бы не вылеты.
