Also, when using objects, it has to be pinpoint accurate for the game to accept it. There’s been several occasions where I needed a hit only to discover that it’s something I already tried in the past but I was a fraction of one millimeter off. Annoying for sure. ### 5/5 — Nice game but no voice… *2025-09-10* That kind of game with no voice is kind of boring. My suggestion to the developers, use AI e put some voice there, is gonna be awesome **Developer response:** Actually, just working on it! Next release will have them! ### 5/5 — Prima Spiel, schwierige Rätsel *2025-09-01* Das Spiel ist umfangreich und hat kniffelige Rätsel. Toll ist, dass ein „Spickzettel“ eingebaut wurde, mit dem man es leichter schafft, Rätsel fertig zu bekommen, ohne all zu lange „stecken zu bleiben“. Der Spickzettel ist ein Item in Inventar, dass von mir trotz „deutscher Sprache“ nur auf Englisch genutzt werden konnte. Das Spiel besteht aus mehreren Akten und kann einen durchaus 2-3 Tage beschäftigt halten, wenn man nicht zu früh in der Lösung nachgucken will. Insgesamt eine klare Kaufempfehlung für jene, die Monkey Island und Deponia gerne gespielt haben. Für jene, die den anderen Terminal Madness-Teil gespielt hatten: Diesen Teil kann man vollständig durchspielen, ohne dass nach Kapitel 3 unerwartet Schluss ist. Zudem ist die Steuerung und die Übersetzung auf Deutsch extrem viel besser als im vorigen Teil. Insgesamt also eine starke Verbesserung im Vergleich zum anderen Teil. ### 5/5 — Excellent point and click *2025-08-30* Love this style of adventure game. This one was very challenging. But it was still fun. I admit I used the help chat more than a few times, but it’s set up in such a way that it doesn’t give too much information unless you ask it to. I don’t think I would have gotten through without it. There were a few typos throughout which is no big deal, but one thing that made it lack some polish. I’m still incredibly impressed, however, because as I watched the credits, I saw just how small the team was on this game. Pretty much one guy (not to discount all the others involved). Really enjoyed it. Would definitely get the next one if one comes out. This guy has a lot of talent. Thanks for creating! ### 5/5 — Ich bin verliebt! *2025-08-04* Super tolles Spiel mit teilweisen richtig kniffeligen Rätseln im alten Stil früherer Adventures. Ich liebe den schrägen Humor und die tollen Zeichnungen. Kann’s kaum erwarten dass es weiter geht. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-06-24* I absolutely love this game, the art style is amazing the puzzles are challenging and the dialogue is very entertaining! One of my favorite point and clicks out there! One nice feature is in game hints. They can be great when you’re working on a difficult puzzle or task. Can’t wait to see what else you make in the future! ### 5/5 — Super Game *2025-06-09* Ich mag den Grafikstil und die schönen Zeichnungen. Die Rätsel waren (Ausgenommen der Code des Gitarrenkoffers im Backstagebereich) logisch und gut lösbar. Vielen Dank für das schöne Spiel. Es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Was mir noch sehr gefallen würde, wäre eine gute deutsche Synchro. Es macht zwar auch so viel Spaß, aber eine gute Synchro machen die netten Charaktere erst lebendig. ### 5/5 — Genuinely good *2025-02-27* Absolutely loved this game. Ive been a point and click fan for my whole life. This one was superb. The hints really helped there were some sections I’d not have completed without it. Also loved the art style. Absolutely mind blown how small the team that made this was. My hats off to you ### 5/5 — Hänge am Kiosk *2025-02-16* Komme am Kiosk nicht weiter.. Wenn ich frage : Welche denn? Öffnet sich ein Punkt: Aber wenn sie auf Quanten stehen, habe ich etwas, dass Sie interessieren könnte. Dann erscheinen wieder die Punkte: Was verkaufen Sie hier eigentlich? Welche denn? Vergiss es… Ist das ein Bug? Bin am verzweifeln.. Danke. Hat geklappt. Weiterhin 5 Sterne. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback! In Dorks Pizzeria befindet sich rechts eine Zeitmaschine. Versuchen Sie, sie zu benutzen, damit Sie weiter vorankommen ### 5/5 — Frustrating *2025-02-15* The game is frustrating, the help system is not much help! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback! That's partially the idea of adventure games, just have in mind that all puzzles are fair and have a logic and comic solution, if you get stuck even with the hints, just let me know so I can help you! ### 5/5 — I can’t find the plate help *2025-01-17* Brilliant game help.. can find the plate **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Can you contact me at hello@codepassion.io or through X or Instagram so I can help you further? ### 5/5 — Wie in alten Zeiten ;-) *2024-12-29* „Monkey Island“ lässt grüßen! Dieses Spiel ist ein würdiger Nachfolger mit wunderbarer Grafik und tollem Humor. Manche Rätsel sind zwar doch ein wenig merkwürdig, aber alles ist lösbar. Ich freu mich schon auf eine Fortsetzung **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback, Das nächste Abenteuer ist bereits im Gange! Bleiben Sie mit CodePassion auf X und Instagram auf dem Laufenden ### 5/5 — Please make more games! *2024-12-17* This game is in my top 10 favorite point and click adventure games. You won’t regret buying this game. It’s a decent length too! Not too short at all. Lots of game play. All around a great game. Please make more just like this! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this lovely review! I have good news for you, I'm already working on the next Crypto's adventure! Stay tuned at @codepassion on X or Instagram ### 5/5 — Please someone help *2024-12-15* Update- there was a glitch when getting the gold ball so I have to start disc 3 over again from the beginning.. I’m towards the end of disc 3 and have been stuck for hours. I have completed almost everything except getting the walkie talkies because I cannot find this “gold ball” to trade anywhere. No one on the internet knows either. Please devs help ### 5/5 — Amazeballs *2024-12-07, version 1.3.2* This would have to be the most interactive game I’ve played in a long time, so much to do , a little baffling a little think outside the box, please tell me there is more to come soon. I love love this game, thanks devs. Highly recommended xx ### 5/5 — Awesome point-click adventure *2024-11-30, version 1.3.2* Great inventory puzzles, characters and dialogue. Hours of fun! I wish they made more games like this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Amazing! *2026-07-23* What a fantastic game! Just when you thought the halcyon days of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max were just a memory…along comes this absolute gem. Personally, I loved everything about it, and can’t wait to play the next instalment. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥 **Developer response:** Thank you! I’m really happy you liked it! Can you check the stars, as It looks you selected just one 😢 ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2024-08-26, version 1.2.1* You puzzles are so poorly designed, even the walk through websites gave up. How do you revive the ashes? Where is the time machine? Why do hate your players? I’m deleting this game and never touching another one if your games. ### 1/5 — Glitches *2024-02-03* Can’t proceed in disk 2. Can’t get into concert. I’ve got the temp tattoo, but can’t proceed further. Talked endlessly to people and things , how do you move forward? No new places to go without going to concert. But can’t get there…HELP is there another areas to explore besides the garage, tattoo or paint lady? Can’t get into intercom spot or castle, hints mention an arcade? Can’t find this. There is no area beyond castle I can get to, can’t get to hideout without making it rain. I’m confused on what to try next. Game has been fun playing up til now. I’ve tried emailing you,but no answers from that. **Developer response:** Hi shrimpboat7, thanks for the feedback, I'm afraid I didn't get that email as I answer them as fast as I see them, you can reach me at "hello at codepassion.io" About enterinc the concert, you need the tattoo in Crypto's arm! have you done that already? Once in the concert, you'll be able to complete the rain puzzle, let me know if that helps you! ### 1/5 — This game is stupid - did not draw me in *2023-08-06, version 1.0.2* What a waste of $5. I got very bored very quickly. There are no voices and the action controls to do something with an item is lame. The plot to find the Secret Hacker is pointless. Don’t bother getting this game! ### 1/5 — Great game but can’t progress … *2023-07-05* Can’t merge the delivery box with the TTD , at all. The box is too far down the suitcase to drag and merge … frustrating to say the least .. I was enjoying it until this issue and can’t see how to resolve . Can you please respond . **Developer response:** Hello! You simply need to tap TDD on the inventory, then tap the right arrow on top until you see the box, and finally drag the floating TDD to the box! Hope this helps and you can update the rating! Contact me at hello@codepassion.io if that doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Lovely art, cut scenes of doom though *2025-05-04* Frustrating game play, in that one a cut scene is triggered I can’t skip. Must just hang on for the ride, and some of them are so looooooong- makes it frustrating to click and explore and be stuck in the same cut scene. Example: The bartender. Every click in his direction turned out to be a time investment that annoyed me. I’ve been point and click lover for years, but I’m not sure I have the patience to finish this one. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback, however I'm not sure I really get the complain, by just tapping with two fingers on the screen you can skip the dialogue line, which helps you skip it all, or do you mean something else? ### 2/5 — Hints are only somewhat helpful - no walkthru available except beginning of game *2025-02-11* Play many of these games this one is VERY HARD. Some things are OK and make sense but very frustrating as everything takes multi steps and very often you have everything but can't figure out how to put together or use. Finally gave up and deleted game - tired of wasting my time when nothing works and hints dont help. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your feedback, could you let me know where the hints are not working so I can fix them? I can also help you if you contact me by email at hello @ codepassion.io ### 2/5 — I love puzzle games, but I’m sorry to say, not this one. *2025-01-10* This will be the first point and click puzzle game I wont finish. I was willing to look past the overly busy art style and the unsightly main character, but the puzzles are so unintuitive that they’re almost impossible to solve without an insane amount of trail and error. I bought this game and was forcing myself to continue but once I had to tune a guitar by converting the random settings on a mixing board to a number/alphabet cypher, I deleted the game. Devs: Ease up on the puzzle difficulty. The solutions should make sense so the player feels smart when they figure it out. Not that they just got lucky and just happened to solve it. But the potential was there. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback, actually that guitar case / mixer puzzle is the harder one, but I believe all other puzzles (more than 200) are pretty straight forward and intuitive. But I'll try to add some more signposting into that guitar puzzle to make it more accessible. Best! ### 2/5 — NO SOUND ON IPHONE 8! *2024-09-18, version 1.3.2* To the developers, (AGAIN) I have NO SOUND, NO MUSIC, NO SFX NO SOUND!!! THAT MEANS NO SOUND!!!!!!! NO SOUND MEANS NO SOUND!! I ONLY GET SOUND WHEN I USE BLUETOOTH!!!! WITHOUT BLUETOOTH I GET NO SOUND!!!! NO SOUND MEANS NO SOUND!!!! On my IPhone 8. ### 2/5 — Controls are useless *2023-07-22, version 1.0.2* Game has great art but the controls and amount of clicks to do things is super frustrating and made me quit. Not intuitive and too many steps and accidental clicks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superärgerliche Bugs - RESOLVED *2026-08-10* Viele interaktive Zonen werden nicht angezeigt und mitten im Spiel kommt man nicht mehr weiter, weil Gegenstände im Inventar kombiniert werden müssen, die zufällig nicht auf derselben Seite sind und man kann nicht „scrollen“. Sehr ärgerlich, wenn die Entwickler solche Anfängerfehler machen. UPDATE: Tip hat geholfen, danke! Die Zone an die ich mich erinnere ist das dampfende Rohr unter dem Burgerstand. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback! 😊 Um Gegenstände zu kombinieren, die sich auf verschiedenen Seiten des Inventars befinden, tippe zuerst auf den Gegenstand, dann auf den Pfeil, um die Seite zu wechseln, und ziehe ihn anschließend auf den anderen Gegenstand, um sie zu kombinieren. Du hast außerdem erwähnt, dass einige interaktive Bereiche (Hotspots) nicht angezeigt werden. Könntest du uns sagen, um welche Elemente oder Stellen im Spiel es sich genau handelt? Das würde uns sehr helfen, das Problem zu überprüfen. Wenn du mit diesen Hinweisen weiterspielen kannst, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn du deine Bewertung noch einmal überdenken und aktualisieren könntest. Vielen Dank! ### 5/5 — Terminal madness *2026-06-05* This is without question the best game iv ever played so well made And so funny and not an easy game But not so hard you cannot work it out Well worth buying , will give you hours of fun , next part is due in September And I. Cannot wait ### 5/5 — Really enjoying it! *2026-03-30* I’m one of those people who don’t write reviews even though I can really enjoy something. But I’m really loving this game it’s really imaginative and a lot of fun and I like many point and click DOTT, Thimbleweed, Botanicula, Love you to Bits, Deponia to name a few. Then it’s really help but I got stuck on one bit and it was driving me crazy so I messaged through instagram as it said and got an instant response. So the developer was lovely so do think about doing that instead of putting a low rating in here cos you’re stuck. I’m really glad there’s another in the bundle I’m looking forward to it- you get a lot for your money, it’s well worth it! Hope you enjoy it too :) ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-01-30* Keep up the reviews so more can be made! If you have any issues, the maker allows you to message him directly to fix the issue. ### 5/5 — Best *2026-01-20, version 1.3.2* Best game ever. Need more!!! ### 5/5 — Reminiscent of Lucas Arts games *2026-01-13, version 1.3.2* Edit to add: Loved this game so much I am re-playing it for a second time after a couple years. Really enjoyed the music, I hope the developer makes it available somewhere! Original Review: If you like games by Lucas Arts but without voice acting, this game is reminiscent of that genre of point and click. The game has a nice hint system and whenever I got stuck, I would email the developer and get a response within 5 hours. Only critique is a few spelling errors and the English is a little off sometimes, but otherwise it’s vastly improved from the first game. Looking forward to Disc 4! ### 5/5 — Sehr cooler Zeitvertreib *2026-01-08* Sehr cooles Point’n’Click Game für Freunde von Spielen wie Monkey Island und co. Manche Rätsel sind schon sehr um die Ecke gedacht, aber ich bin am Ende doch drauf gekommen. Wobei zugegebenermaßen der Cheat Sheet schon hilft die Denke der Rätselerfinder zunehmend besser zu verstehen. So ganz ohne hätte ich es wohl nicht geschafft. Hat mega Spaß gemacht und jetzt wo es vorbei ist habe ich Lust auf mehr. Kudos an die Programmierer. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein großartiges Feedback! Es freut uns riesig zu hören, dass dir das Spiel so viel Spaß gemacht hat und dass du Lust auf mehr hast Falls du es noch nicht gesehen hast: „Terminal Madness – Revelations“ ist die offizielle Fortsetzung und führt die Geschichte mit neuen Rätseln, Schauplätzen und natürlich noch mehr schrägem Humor weiter. Nochmals vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung und die netten Worte – genau so etwas motiviert uns als Entwickler enorm. Viel Spaß beim Weiterhacken und Rätseln! ### 5/5 — Besser und spannender als der erste Teil! *2025-12-11* Antworten sehr schnell auf Instagram, falls man wirklich nicht weiterkommt. Besser technisch aufgebaut als der erste Teil, wesentlich länger, spannender und outsider. Danke für den Spielspaß. Kann man sich mal gönnen. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass dir dieser Teil besser gefallen hat und spannender war als der erste. Falls du es noch nicht gesehen hast: „Terminal Madness – Revelations“ ist die offizielle Fortsetzung mit neuen Rätseln, Schauplätzen und noch mehr schrägem Humor! Vielen Dank fürs Spielen und für die netten Worte – das motiviert uns als Entwickler enorm. ### 5/5 — Tolle Zeit! *2025-10-17* Sehr unterhaltsam und lustig. Die Grafik ist Toll. Danke für den Spickzettel :-) ### 5/5 — Love *2025-10-17, version 1.3.2* Great game overall. So creative, I really love indie games like this. It’s so impressive that someone created all of this --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
