Much detail in all scenes with an interesting plot. The hos are very full and a bit difficult so I enjoyed them. Keep them coming. Thanks for your hard work. Wishes for a Happy New Year for all. 🎩

### 1/5 — Trial version, iPad review

*2023-01-19, version 1.0.1*

I did not bother finishing the trial version. Moving through the game was agonizingly slow—riding the boat, going down streets, and going back in game to find something. It was not easy to understand which way to go, so I was tapping here, there, everywhere to figure out which street was a real street. Objects to find were TINY. Too much dialogue, boring characters, and too many useless photos to look at. The “puzzle” of shooting the gun was horrible. I have nothing good to say about this game.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.0*

Graphics are dark and gritty, hard to find images. Puzzle information is vague or some of the puzzle did not work properly.  Had to use the hint button a lot. HOH puzzles, the words of images to find, were hidden under the guide button.  Does anyone-player someone not envolved in making thegame actually play the game before sending it out. Too many mistakes.

### 1/5 — Very short for the price!

*2020-12-30, version 1.0.0*

You pay ten dollars for a game u think it would be longer of a game not happy!!

### 1/5 — Not meant for small iphones

*2020-12-24, version 1.0.0*

Tried the game on an iphone 8 and objects were way too tiny, so I deleted it.  Possibly this would be good on an ipad or larger phone though.

### 3/5 — Rite of Passage: Bloodlines by LynxMinx

*2021-01-11, version 1.0.0*

Although the game was intrinsically good, I rate objectively and there were so many technical issues that the actual gameplay was miserable. For the steep price charged by Mad Head, the quality assurance should be en pointe, and it wasn’t even close!
Firstly, let’s begin with the good: The game was lengthy, it had an interesting storyline, and a comprehensive journal. The tasks were challenging and enjoyable to complete. There was an excellent mix of HO puzzles and mini-games. We were provided a gimmick in the form of a magical shell. I won’t go into details so as not to spoil it for you. 
On the negative end of the spectrum, the graphics lacked visual acuity and the morphing objects and collectibles were almost impossible to find without straining your eyes. The gameplay interface was almost non-responsive at times, especially when completing the story books. It was almost impossible to find and place the items. The game needed a way more sensitive gameplay interface. It was difficult to acquire, as well as use, inventory items. However, one of the worst errors occurred in a couple of the HO scenes, where text was highlighted and you had to find those items. Well, it turned out that the inventory bar OBSCURED several words, leaving you to guess which items to choose. There is NO EXCUSE for such poor quality assurance. I won’t reward incompetence. This game should have been a 5 star game, but the technical glitches have brought my rating down to 3 stars. 
I don’t want to pay such a high price for such a technically flawed game. The developer needs to fix the lack of touchscreen sensitivity. I have written to him, and it’s basically fallen on deaf ears! Eventually, you guys will have more games (EIPIX is going to launch this week!) and you might not want to waste so much money on problematic games. I don’t reward greed. I don’t mind paying, but the game had better be lengthy, enjoyable and have perfect quality assurance. 
So my rating will remain at 3 stars, unfortunately.
Happy New Year to all!

### 3/5 — Discount

*2020-12-23, version 1.0.0*

Why does it say 25% Launch Discount in app description, but when unlocking it in the app it says 13% discount? Which is it? 25% or 13%?

### 4/5 — Sometimes frustrating

*2022-12-02, version 1.0.1*

Loved the graphics, loved the story line.  But at times image was too large and things needed were hidden by the game controls. Hated the find items and put them in their proper places. So frustrating as the items were sometimes too small to ID and wouldn’t stick to the place they needed to go.

### 4/5 — Solid Mad Head game but …..

*2022-01-24, version 1.0.1*

It’s a small criticism but the vomiting sea shell was a bit … odd. Also those darned collectible fish are too hard to find.

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2025-04-11, version 1.0.1*

Wish they would bring back some of the older puzzles that had cyphers etc

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2024-04-05, version 1.0.1*

Great play, puzzles, storyline! Another hit!!!

### 5/5 — Rite of passage : bloodlines

*2023-10-01, version 1.0.1*

Great game graphic and storyline! Very lengthy keep them coming mad heads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Bad placement

*2022-01-12, version 1.0.1*

I loved this game until the BONUS CHAPTER. I could not pick up anything in my inventory that was passed being seen on the screen. The game took me to the STRATEGY GUIDE every time I tried. Very frustrating and disappointing. Unfinishable.

### 5/5 — Mystery at its Best

*2021-07-22, version 1.0.1*

I just love the Hidden Object games. Lately though with everything going on there are hardly any new games that are coming out for iphone or ipad. I think I’ve played every Hidden Object Mystery and Adventure game that has been released. Until I found Mad Head games. All’s I can say is Thank you so very much for putting a game out that has a storyline that you can follow and not have an unbelievable twist in it. The storyline had me hooked from the demo. Usually some of the developers give you a good start but then the plot becomes so far fetched that you forget what the main story is about. Not with this one. The graphics are beautiful, the voice overs are spot on. The games are long and not just an easy guess to solve the puzzles. The length of the game is well worth the money. I see no reason why anyone wouldn’t want to pay the price. I did read that one person said that the graphics were to small to see on the iphone so they deleted the game. Too Bad. I do have some trouble seeing games and details on my iphone but I wear my readers and if needed I enlarge the picture where it allows you to find the list of things you need to find. 
I hope that you will continue to put out these games because they are very enjoyable and the workmanship is EXCELLENT!! 
Great job!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-01-29, version 1.0.0*

### 5/5 — 😍🌟

*2021-01-02, version 1.0.0*

Brilliant game was action packed from the start with a good mix of puzzles. 😘💫

### 5/5 — Perfect—your best yet!

*2020-12-28, version 1.0.0*

This game is pure pleasure. Everything comes together perfectly. The graphics are terrific, the puzzles challenging, the HOPs varied. This game completely absorbs me. Thank you so very much. We have so many new games for iPad— what gifts. I wrote several reviews ( spending hours on them) but they were never posted— perhaps I said mask too often? But in them, I thanked Lynx and others for keeping us in the know, keeping us mentally strong. 
And developers, please know how much your games have saved me during these rough days—allowing me to be engaged and mentally active when I have walked and read, when the isolation grows heavy. Stay well—we are connected.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2020-12-27, version 1.0.0*
