### 2/5 — Bonus Chapter Won’t Open

*2025-04-26*

i enjoyed the game but after i completed it (the credits rolled so i know i finished) i went to open the bonus chapter and got a pop-up telling me to complete the main game to unlock the bonus content. there were a few other glitchy things along the way. i’m a big fan of domino games but disappointed with this one.

### 3/5 — Very good

*2024-04-30, version 1.1.4*

This is not too hard. But still challenging to do

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-02-03, version 1.1.4*

Not very user friendly on the iPhone. The inventory kept dropping during hidden object puzzles. The dialogue was not visible on the iPhone 12. The hint button did not work if needed. 
Shame because it could have been a good game.

### 2/5 — Fun game but has crappy ethos.

*2021-11-30*

I enjoyed playing the game. What I didn’t like were the subtle messages i.e. herbicides instead of clippers, flares to scare bats, etc. In this day and age, it woulda been just as easy to send a more positive message.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will forward all the information you’ve provided to our development team. Thank you for helping us improve casual hidden object games!

### 2/5 — Glitches

*2021-04-06*

It’s bad enough that there were already small glitches throughout but I get to the last scene and the whole thing will not allow you to complete the game- it’s just stuck on the man standing there with the green field around himAnd no way to move forward. When you hit hint  it just says there’s nothing to do here. There are new tools there’s nothing. I solved the last of the dragon codes and it went to nothing so I can’t even progress to the bonus chapter. I would have to start the whole game over again..

**Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please write to our support team at support@dominigames.com so they could help you resolve your issue. Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible and attach screenshots, if you can. This is going to greatly help them find and fix the issue quicker.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2021-03-08*

Disclaimer: I am old and have previously only played Time Trap V.1. So, I found this game incredibly frustrating. I could not get a sense of where it was going or how parts of it worked. I visited some of the walk-through but left a bit more puzzled. I like the visuals, I would have liked to know more of the story but ... 

Any way, three stars just because I liked the look and the idea.

**Developer response:** Hello! We're working on our gaming performance. If you have any suggestions on how to improve our games, please write to our support team support@dominigames.com. We will forward all of them to the development department.

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2020-12-28, version 1.1.2*

Hammer disappeared at temple. I cannot progress. Closed and restarted game several times. Still nothing.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2020-11-28, version 1.1.2*

Had to drop a star as some of the mini puzzles didn’t work properly so had to skip. For example on the bonus game the key to door - push pins up or down, first two no problem, but the second two didn’t matter how many times I tapped the screen nothing happened. Gave up and skipped the puzzle. It’s times like that games become annoying but to be fair it didn’t happen to all mini puzzles.

So apart from that glitch the game was enjoyable to play.

### 2/5 — Won’t let me progress

*2020-11-20, version 1.1.2*

Would not let me use the Amulet to repair bridge. Followed instructions but there was no way to use it. Disappointed. Deleted.

### 4/5 — Great fantasy and mystery elements

*2020-07-27*

Really liked this game. The puzzles were good, the actions were easy (I hate wasting a hint because the piece I lifted in didn’t hit exactly the right spot. That didn’t happen here.) Will definitely be playing more titles

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like our game. 
With your support, we can make more breathtaking games in the future.

### 3/5 — Игра зависла(((

*2020-04-09*

У меня на 6 главе игра зависла! Я нашла доски, гвозди, молоток. Подошла я к мосту, установила доски, гвозди и молоток....... и все...... гвозди лежат на полу, а молоток просто пропал...... больше ни чего сделать не могу! И при этом игра ой не дешевая((( надеюсь разработчики мне ответят,

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, спасибо за отзыв. Мы обязательно сообщим в отдел разработки о данной проблеме, и постараемся исправить ее.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-09-15*

### 1/5 — Can’t purchase

*2023-01-25, version 1.1.4*

Played a bit, but wasn’t allowed to purchase.  
Maybe I will try again some other time.

### 1/5 — Virus?

*2021-12-17, version 1.1.4*

I love the games but this one, you can’t use inventory even when it’s there. It won’t move.

### 1/5 — 🤨Yet another Glitch....??

*2021-02-25*

This is the fourth Domini Game in a row I’ve played on my iPad that has a major glitch preventing me from progressing. 

It’s been rough since the beginning as the Inventory Box won’t stay open - and keeps closing - making it nearly impossible to add items.

But the main glitch is when I’m at the broken bridge.
I’m supposed to use the Levitation Amulet - but the Inventory Bar won’t budge. I tried backing out and selecting it beforehand, placing it over the area .....but to no avail.

Also -while at the bridge- when I press Hint - it doesn’t acknowledge or light up. 

This would have been a perfect place to incorporate a Skip button...to bypass the glitch. 

I’ve emailed the screenshot and issue to Domini Support. 

On to the next.....

**Developer response:** Hello! You can expect an answer from our specialists within 2 workdays. Also, we recommend checking the “spam” folder of your email account because the letter from our support team can be automatically sorted there.

### 1/5 — Лажа полная.

*2021-02-13*

Игра интересная но, в описании пишут что она совершенно бесплатно. Брехня. Чтоб играть полностью ее нужно купить. И все отзывы которые написаны фейковые.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Мы всегда предупреждаем, что в наших приложениях есть платный контент. Мы даем игрокам возможность поиграть в демо-версию, чтобы они могли принять решение о покупке. Извините за недопонимание.

### 1/5 — I’m not a moron but I do not seem to understand your games

*2020-09-25*

After wandering around for hours I thought it wasn’t allowing me to do anythinhg because I needed to buy the game, you have a worthless tutorial.  How do I get the can opener?  Are the items faded out because they’re waiting to be found.  You certainly don’t help newbies figure out  how to move around, I have yet to see a hop game but did find a match 3.  I got to the river but there was no body, my jack worked but since then nothing else has,  as long as you are giving line by line help, can you at least tell me how I get thr items?  Some just go to my inventory and most just sit there and I am not past the first screen. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to pay for this game.  I JUST WANT TO SHOOT SOMEONE IN FRUSTRATION, but don’t worry I don’t own a gun

**Developer response:** Hello! To interact with the world you need to tap on the screen and sometimes drag items from your inventory onto the things in enviroment to trigger an interaction.

### 1/5 — Blocked me at the last challenge

*2020-03-29*

I couldn’t complete the game. At the last challenge the game stalled and would not let me complete or redo the final challenge. Not happy!!!!!

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We will forward your request to the development department. We'll contact you, when the problem is fixed.
