I paid £1.99 .The puzzles are pretty random and it’s very difficult to get started. Even with clues the answers are still baffling. There is no logic to the answers not impressed waste of £1.99. ### 1/5 — Too difficult *2023-10-01, version 1.3* Not enough access to hints. The puzzles are illogical and without hints there is no progress. ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2023-03-25* Watched the whole intro. Started playing the game, get outside the door (which is very easy) and cannot continue due to having to purchase the full version. It’s not even enough time to immerse yourself into the game to decide if it’s worth the money. ### 2/5 — Fix the glitches *2025-07-18* Game has potential, but very very glitchy. They also need to have something that doesn’t cost a hint, but provides at least a little bit of directions. ### 3/5 — So close to being really good *2023-09-18* But repeated glitches and puzzle issues took me out of it. Things like you needed to close a bunch of plants for one puzzle, and one of the plants kept glitching to not be close-able, and even when they didn’t it was near impossible to hit all of them at once. The music didn’t seem to really match up with the notes for a music puzzle, making that near impossible. There was a globe turning puzzle that would glitch and the globe would get stuck. Some issues are playable through, I gave up at the plants and was really disappointed because there were some good ideas here, but it was just too frustrating to navigate through. **Developer response:** The plants close and reopen quickly. Use two hands to be quick enough to:) ### 3/5 — It's okay *2023-08-24* It's okay, but not great. Not the most user-friendly puzzle game. I'm a professional symphony musician, and the music puzzle didn't match the sound cues, even if in a different octave. I had to use up all my hints to get past that one and now I'm stuck on the venus flytraps. The game has potential, but it's not quite there yet. ### 3/5 — Stuck on the venus flytraps *2023-03-31* Is there an override? Ive even watched videos on youtube, and cannot get past them. **Developer response:** Use two hands :) ### 3/5 — Broken Code *2023-02-16, version 1.3* The code to the second door in the hallway (from the globe) isn’t working, I’ve cross-checked it with other walkthroughs and it is the correct code, but when I input it nothing happens ### 3/5 — Slightly Glitchy *2023-01-12* I found if you didn’t get some of the magical items in order, eg, the lotus stems first, then it would glitch out and not add it to your inventory. I had to restart a fair few times with different orders of obtaining items, but found getting the lotuses first seemed to stop the glitch. Other than that, a cute little game! ### 3/5 — DNF- Here’s Why *2023-01-02* This is, overall, a charming and entertaining little game. Good design, cozy graphics, and very much recommended for anyone whose kid player is a fan of, say, Disney’s Sword in the Stone. But I didn’t finish, because one puzzle requires sound. That’s (almost certainly unconscious) ableism which leaves out hearing impaired folx. If there had been an animation that pointed out the solution, that would be great, but watching the in game animation there’s no hint of linking to the solution. That spoiled the whole game for me. I don’t know how to fix games for visually impaired people, but making sure your game doesn’t require sound to finish a puzzle is easy to fix for the hearing impaired. 3 stars (with the potential for higher ranking if this is fixed). **Developer response:** Hi Devi-Chan. We love musical puzzles and wanted to include one in the game. We don't consider it ableist as the puzzle can be bypassed if someone is unable to complete it, so it doesn't stop someone from finishing and enjoying the rest of the game. We are glad you enjoyed all the other games! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Zoe *2023-03-12, version 1.3* I really like this game but I haven't got a clue what’s going on when I manage to find a gold hint it doesn’t last very long and there very hard to find so it means I’m going in and out of different rooms the owl only helps wen you get gold so I’m stuck on the first level iv only managed to solve 3 things so I’m getting a bit fed up Iv payed my £1..99 to get all levels but I carnt see me getting through the first one is any one els having the same problem or is it just me ### 5/5 — Cute and fun puzzling adventure *2021-11-10* Thoroughly enjoyed the game! The story was cute and the puzzles were fairly straightforward and simple - but not necessarily all easy. Would love to see more from this developer and a longer game! ### 5/5 — Nice game! *2021-05-03, version 1.1* I really enjoied the game. Riddles and games are not too easy or too difficult and graphic is amazing! ### 4/5 — Hints *2025-11-21, version 1.3* It keeps wasting hints..!.. The four elements I need for the bubbles..When I press a hint, it tells me.. “Look at the list of ingredients you need”…How annoying..I know I have a “list”….I have to ask for a second hint..each time.. Also, can’t buy any..you only get so many gold nuggets(hints). It used up my last one..telling me to *look*..at my list again.. Im stuck with the water bottle.. ### 4/5 — Игра разочаровала *2024-12-02* Обожаю предыдущие игры этой студии и с нетерпением ждала новых, но эта игра очень сильно отличается от предыдущих. Короткая, нелогичная и со странным сюжетом. Предметы, которые собираешь для заданий, в инвентаре не подписываются и из-за плохой прорисовки не всегда понятно, что и для чего ты взял(например, линза от очков выглядела как стеклянный шар, а не как плоский объект). Если бы не пришлось ходить по локациям и тыкать повсюду, чтоб разобраться что к чему, игру можно было бы пройти за 15 минут. Буду ждать новых игр из серии про Лео Паркера и желаю успехов разработчикам, а эту игру приобретать советую только тем, кому больше совсем не во что поиграть --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
