The Best!

Love the puzzles! 100%

Irritating graphics

This game has potential but why have the developers put in the irritating vibration of the box and blackening of the screen which disrupts your play. I know what they are trying to achieve but it just doesn’t work. I really enjoyed the bird cage games but this one sadly is not of the same standard. I deleted in the end because it was too annoying.

Issues

So, the game is great! But.. how are you supposed to beat the green pack when it doesn’t even give you enough time to do the puzzles? I’m doing them quickly, but it keeps making me restart before I can finish the last puzzle on level 12

Constant stress…

The puzzles are just too easy.

So instead of making the puzzles more challenging or creative…. The developers focused on creating stress and complications on the players themselves.

The box is constantly jumping around…pause and wait.
The lights flicker… scene goes dark … pause and wait.
The Jack-in-the-box comes out and jump scares you…pause and wait.

Half the game is waiting and trying to just get to the puzzle.

And of course, the “horror” background music …which is mostly tension-building and repetitive.

I really don’t like leaving negative reviews for any developer/game. But this one has a tolerance level not everyone is at.

If you don’t mind being visually assaulted and in a constant state of anxiety while playing a puzzle…then you might like this one. I’ll pass.

Meh

I’m not a fan of timed puzzles and just don’t feel like it’s worth $6. Cute but not great.
