### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2022-01-01, version 1.0.0*

A great game if you could get rid of the glitches.  In many instances you have to repeat the same task a dozen times before it is recognised and the game moves on, so frustrating - other than that, great concept and graphics, keeps you interested and flows well.

### 3/5 — Good game but

*2019-11-02, version 1.0.0*

Was so hard to apply things to objects. You have to get it in the exact spot or you will be trying over and over which could get frustrating. I couldn’t complete the bonus chapter for that very reason in that the sword hilt no matter how many times I tried to put it on the sword it wouldn’t attach so I ended up deleting the game from my iPad.  Interesting storyline though.

### 3/5 — Okay game

*2016-09-19, version 1.0.0*

The plot is good, the hidden object game is great but had to tap several times to pin one object onto another. Never used the map.
At times, get confused at an objective here and there so had to look up the strategy guide for a clue!

### 3/5 — Sable Maze - Sullivan River - Daily Magic

*2016-01-16, version 1.0.0*

This is my third time to try and finish this game!  Twice before I got as far as trying to take the wooden figure of a woman from the tree using the chisel, each time the chisel kept coming back without extracting the figure.  I am quite disappointed with game because of this problem let alone being quite frustrated with it. This last time I've cancelled it and reloaded it so I'm hoping that it will work this time otherwise I will be asking for a refund.

### 3/5 — Very buggy

*2016-01-15, version 1.0.0*

I like the game.  Challenging and interesting, but there are a lot of bugs that make it very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Sullivan

*2016-01-11, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed game,some of the hidden objects looked like something else other than what you were looking for,good thing you can enlarge scene when looking for hidden objects because they were so small never would have found them.Waiting for sequel.

### 1/5 — Bad bad game

*2018-09-17, version 1.0.0*

Bad graphics, boring, not responsive, also it said “purchased not found” when I’m 100% positive that I’ve bought it before. Not the first time it happens with BF games, been double charged before!

### 1/5 — Just awful .

*2018-09-17, version 1.0.0*

Game is slow , hints are horrible and no help and story is stupid . Too many hos and mini games .

### 1/5 — Sullivan river

*2016-09-27, version 1.0.0*

Worse game ever, all over the place

### 1/5 — Really???

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.0*

No morphing items, useless map, boring puzzles and Ho scenes. This game could be so much more!! The storyline is great but the game itself is a huge let down 😕

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.0*

I play these games to keep my mind off of my chronic pain.  I DON'T play to listen to music, etc.  I DON'T want the sound disturbing anyone around me.  I went into the options, as always, but even when I brought the levels all the way down, it can still hear the music and sound effects.  For me, that's a deal breaker.  

The hidden object scenes are confusing, and the tapping is off.  I kept trying to pick up the photo but it wouldn't take until the fifth or sixth time!  

The map is pretty useless.  It shows where you are and allows you to teleport, but that's it.  No hints as to where you need to go.  

The directions for the games are beyond terrible!  I figured out a couple by guessing!  And, using a bandage on wires?  Really?  I figured it out but it was pretty dumb.  And it took me over a minute to figure out what the wired colors directions meant.  

WAY too confusing.  No sale!

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2016-01-09, version 1.0.0*

Tapping the Hint button kept returning to the opening scene. Map is difficult to understand. Graphics are below average.

### 2/5 — Only took one night to complete

*2018-06-23, version 1.0.0*

This game only took me a few hours to complete. You would think for 6.99 you would get some time out of it. Content was decent.

### 2/5 — Poor game

*2016-01-18, version 1.0.0*

I received an IPad for Christmas and have been playing Big Fish adventure games more or less solidly since. This game has ended the run and I'm going back to my Kindle. Too many hidden object scenes, poor, very frustrating mini games where it is preferable to skip than persevere and main issue for me is the number of times where an object will not work as intended until you have tried upwards of 50 times. I've given up now. I paid £4.99 for this game and definitely not worth it.

### 2/5 — Sullivan

*2016-01-13, version 1.0.0*

This game is ok, however.  I don't like that there are no directions with the mini games. You have to load the guide to find the instructions for the mini games.  The other thing is that the items in the inventory take several tries to get them to work, this also happens in the HOS.  That to me is very frustrating!  Due to these facts I'm not sure I will buy anymore of these games.

### 2/5 — Blah

*2016-01-10*

This game has bug, very frustrating.  No collectibles, no morphins, very easy and buggy.  Graphic are nice doh.

*2022-01-15, version 1.0.0*

Awesome game!

### 5/5 — Satisfied

*2017-01-30, version 1.0.0*

Like all the maze games I am enjoying this one.

### 5/5 — Sable Maze:Sullivan

*2016-03-01, version 1.0.0*

Liked the game. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great Adventure!

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.0*

Loved the interactive hidden object scenes, puzzles and the graphics were outstanding. The update helped and I was able to finish, however there are quite a few glitchy spots still. The map is of no help - this game really makes you think and travel. Looking forward to the sequel!
Thank You, KbBoots

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.0*

Great game, lots of puzzles. Love it

### 4/5 — Good But...

*2018-10-13, version 1.0.0*

This game was pretty good and the puzzles were fair. I liked the apple theme. I was happy that the puzzles were set up better in this game so that I did not bump the skip button with my knuckle by accident as I've done with so many other games in the past. 
A suggestion for future games: I would love to see more brighter positive atmosphere. More nature, color and beauty. Like Moonfell Wood. I love these hidden object games but they are all starting to look the same with too much rubbish garbage and junk, discoloration and worn, faded creepy stuff and too much cobwebs. Everything looks grey and blue and depressing with ghosts and skeletons and everything about death and darkness. I miss seeing beautiful trees by the stream in daylight. I miss flowers and berries, butterflies, bees, lightening bugs and the feeling of strolling through a beautiful realistic forest.. and those game puzzles where you untie and untangle the strings. I miss the soft peaceful music of harps. I like positive fairytale hidden object games with the theme of love and time.
I get that the enemy will always be dark and sinister but I just wish that the journey could be more interesting with the kind of atmosphere that makes a person feel like they want to be there. 
I remember when I first got an iPad and started playing big fish games and some of the art in the games were so beautiful that I would perk up with thrill to my fingertips. The brighter atmosphere games effected my moods in a positive way. But the darker ones made me feel bored and depressed. 
If big fish puts out more brighter happier games, I'd be buying them more often. :)

### 4/5 — Not a bad game but

*2016-02-17, version 1.0.0*

I really like this game however it's a little difficult for iPad users. Getting items to work with other items took a lot of go's and for this I only give it 4 stars. The story and the graphics are well done and puzzles are a little on the easy side and if anything the puzzles needed instructions on how to play but they are not hard to logically work out. The map is good for back 'n' forth of the game but is very kiddie looking. I'm looking forward to the next instalment and hope that little changes can be made for iPad users to play with a lot better ease

### 4/5 — Good game

*2016-02-10, version 1.0.0*

One less star, because had problems combining things, played on IPad. Otherwise game was good.

### 4/5 — This games falls short plus glitch

*2016-01-11, version 1.0.0*

Very shoddy map, Hint button sends me back to beginning of game. Level 2 Nurses Office has a glitch getting wallet to get code. Was able to open wallet after many tries now I can't grab it to inventory. Tried many times and now stuck. Not sure it's worth it to deinstalled and reinstall from the beginning. Could have been good if more work was done on map and Hint button.

### 4/5 — Up the River with Sullivan River!

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.0*

Sable Maze: Sullivan River is a relatively simple plot. As an adult, you suffer from guilt over a childhood incident at Sullivan River Camp. You return to the deserted camp to discover why several children disappeared in the ancient Celtic maze contained within the camp. You discover the corpse of the camp director, who was in love with Alyssa, the camp nurse. A boy, Derrick, who could talk to the trees, also had a crush on Alyssa. The trees are alive and have faces. They destroy buildings and try to thwart you. There is a Transporting Map, a good Hint and Skip, a Strategy Guide, etc. Artwork is good, but a bit dark for my taste. If it had been brighter, I would have awarded another star!  The Hidden Objects include combining objects or altering them. Puzzles have been the average sort, and mostly fun. You have a Diary, also. I have not discovered any extra morphing objects or collectibles. You see many ghosts along the way. There is a convenient reel-to-reel tape player with tapes to give you added information. For the sale price, I think it's great for a snowy weekend!
