### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2025-06-01*

First, I really enjoy your games. This one has a significant glitch. I’m using an iPad 10th GEN. The tool/items box has an arrow for scrolling through items needed for gameplay. The arrow on this one is too close to the items and won’t allow me to scroll. I can’t access item needed to play scene. Therefore, I can’t progress in the game. My only option is uninstall the game reinstall it and hope the glitch is gone. I’d rather just get a refund and purchase a new game. I did put in a refund request. Thank you

### 5/5 — Rite of passage: Ember lake

*2025-01-14*

I give it 2 stars because I paid for this game and,when I press already paid it goes it circles! It continues to goes in circles and then it says times up. A bunch of b.s I want to play this game that I already paid for! I pressed unlock just to see and it did not go in circles you are a bunch of rip off shame on you. Fix this problem.J.F

### 1/5 — Impossible to play

*2024-03-23, version 1.0.1*

This would be a good game if it wasn’t virtually impossible to access anything in inventory when inventory full, I have paid 6.99 for this game and have had to give up on chapter 2, I’ve requested a refund and I’m going to be pretty annoyed if I don’t get it, don’t waste your time

### 3/5 — Bonus game is lame

*2024-02-19*

The bonus game is 5-10 minutes long. Developers short-changed customers on this one...

### 2/5 — DIFFICULT TO USE

*2023-10-17*

What's happened to this? It used to work normally. Now it has a peculiar halting flow that makes it impossible to play while paying attention to the plot. You have to tap the scene to make it flow forward. If you don't, it won't. 

Everything else I play works normally, so it's not that.

Not worth struggling through--I was only trying it to see if it was better than I remembered. Can't tell.

### 3/5 — Good but ……

*2022-09-08, version 1.0.1*

Good game but really really short. Not worth £5.99

### 4/5 — Good, but….

*2022-07-08*

stashing items behind the hint button is really not fair.  It was actually pretty annoying.  Main game was long - bonus game way too short.

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2022-05-05*

Enjoyed this one. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Rite of Passage: Ember Lake by LynxMinx

*2021-05-01*

The game had an interesting storyline, and was lengthy inclusive of the bonus adventure. There was a plethora of interesting tasks to accomplish at each location. You must collect a crystal icon, as well as a morphing object, at each location. The morphs were also present in the HO scenes. The problem was that some of the collectibles were hidden behind icons ( such as the hint button) and were very difficult to access. This was also the case during the treasure hunt.
There were a nice variety of HO scenes, and the puzzles were diverse as well. The game was a terrific game, but unfortunately there was a lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. That reduces the amount of pleasure I get while playing. As such my review will remain at 4 stars. It was still worth playing! Mad Head, your amazing and quirky games will be sorely missed!

### 5/5 — Enjoyable Story

*2021-04-19, version 1.0.0*

I am enjoying the story line and the unusual HOP's. Nice job!
