Will update again when, if, I find out more. As to the game, I still have not finished it as I have been busy, but so far no problems. _______ This is not a review as I have just started. Has anyone else had trouble finding recent hidden object games in the App Store search? When requesting to search by relevance-release date no new games are displayed, only mostly old ones. If it were not for an email from Domini I would not have found this game. Prior to this week it was possible to find the newest games easily, but now it seems we may never know they are out there. What is up with Apple? Don’t they want these games to be sold? ### 5/5 — Шикарная игра👍 *2020-07-02, version 1.0.0* Игра супер!Со скидкой, просто подарок👍 Краски, музыка, всё на высоте! Видно, что разработчики старались. ### 5/5 — Фантастическая игра! *2020-07-02, version 1.0.0* Я в принципе люблю игры жанра поиск предметов, но еще больше люблю, когда у них крутой сюжет и реализация! 😍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Платно *2025-02-11, version 1.0.4* Для продолжения просят денег ### 1/5 — Mini games not working *2024-03-15, version 1.0.3* I’ve played most of the games in this series. This one the mini games only come up on half the screen. Tried restarting and unloading and reloading still won’t work. ### 1/5 — Игры *2023-02-14, version 1.0.3* Отстой игры все платные, иногда появляются бесплатные раз в пол года, а 700 рублей за игру платить упали чтоли?! ### 1/5 — Historia de pago *2021-05-04, version 1.0.2* No se puede seguir la historia sin pagar! ### 1/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥺😢🥺😢🥺😢 *2020-07-02* Fantastisch, habe versucht den kostenlosen Teil zu spielen. Schöne Schauplätze. Karte für den schnellen Schauplatzwechsel ist ebenso vorhanden wie die Wahl zwischen WBS und 3-Gewinnt. Auch bei den Spielen kann man zwischen leicht und schwer wählen. Trotzdem nur ein Stern, die Wahl zwischen leicht und schwer nutzt nichts weil das Spiel mal wieder nicht in deutsch ist. Somit für mich nicht Spielbälle. Sehr schade, da auch Sammel-, Such- und Chamäleonobjekte vorhanden sind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😢🥺😢🥺😢 **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We'll do our best to improve in the future. Check out other games we've made. There are plenty of ones that have german localization. ### 3/5 — Bug *2022-02-03, version 1.0.3* When I got to getting ruby out of wall with arrow, it wouldn’t work so annoyingly had to delete game. Was enjoying it too 🤨 ### 3/5 — Enjoyable *2021-03-13, version 1.0.2* The game is enjoyable and the graphics are good. However I found the font for the story lines too small and having to drag the objects so they fit at a particular angle is tricky. It would be better if we can just click on the object where it should go and it would work. ### 3/5 — Great graphics ... *2020-07-14, version 1.0.1* ... reasonable story though only took an hour to play. ### 3/5 — Good game but buggy *2020-07-06, version 1.0.0* I bought this game but bugginess increased as the game went on until it ruined the game. This could be a 4.5 star game with plenty of game play, some interesting puzzles, good graphics. Just a few of the bugs I found on my iPad Pro 11: Unlock button never disappears even after you buy, I set custom settings to hard game mode but it defaults to easy every time I restart the game, click on View Notes and game closes, and a lot more! Game should not have been released as is. ### 4/5 — Jeu intéressant *2020-07-16, version 1.0.1* Énigme intéressante. Joli graphisme super ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-03-22, version 1.0.3* Great game ### 5/5 — Love all your games *2022-07-26, version 1.0.3* They never disappoint me no matter which one I choose to play. Keep up the excellent work. ### 5/5 — Very happy *2021-02-17, version 1.0.2* Thank!!! 👍🏼😉 ### 5/5 — Fate *2020-10-31, version 1.0.1* Brilliant game as always. ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2020-08-09, version 1.0.1* Thanks ### 5/5 — 😘👍 *2020-07-25, version 1.0.1* Fantastic game but can you PLEASE sort your game app out no new releases are on their and you can’t get your free game a month with the subscription club . I have spent £20 on two games the past two months. You are taking money monthly and yet I am still paying for the free games. ### 5/5 — Secret City: Chalk of Fate by LynxMinx *2020-07-14, version 1.0.1* Again you deleted my review! No Oleg, I will not write another! If you delete me, I don’t give second chances. My true rating was 4.5 stars. This game actually had decent quality assurance, for a change. Hopefully it wasn’t a fluke. Next up for Domini is Dark Romance: Ashville. This game will be delayed for further testing on the App Store. Sorry, guys! My thanks again to the Dream Team Elite members who helped to fix the release date relevancy issue. You know who you are, and that I’m grateful. Happy gaming to all. ### 5/5 — Same App Store issue! Not a review yet... *2020-07-07, version 1.0.0* Update...Thankfully it seems the App Store issue has been resolved. Just finished the trial, so far so good. Not sure if it’s my fingers, but I had to hit the bottom several times to back out of a scene. I haven’t found any other issues yet but wanted to update my status . I updated a couple weeks ago, but the sorting by release date issue only showed up a few days ago. Is it possible that Big Fish “released” the old games as “new”?...because they are the main games listed continuously and only after scrolling many times, I was able to see this new game. Thankfully, I also received Domini’s email and also read Lynx’s helpful (and very much appreciated) updates from her reviews, so I knew this one was expected. Thank you Drosietwo for spending the time with Apple support! Hope this gets figured out soon. I’ll put in a call to Apple Support as well, maybe we can all bug them enough to gain some attention for a resolution. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2020-07-06, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Same problem *2020-07-06, version 1.0.0* Update, game played with no problems. Bright colors and detailed scenes. Lots of games. I too have been having the sorting problem. Oddly all old big fish games. I’ll contact too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
