Really charming game! The artwork and soundtrack are really fun and the dialogue is probably the funniest I've seen in a long time. Full of innuendo, but so subtle and cleverly done. Only small thing is that I found the puzzles really quite easy. That said, I'll definitely be buying the next episode. And sure, it's short, but - 2 bucks - that's nothing for the amount of costs and resources that must have gone into making this. Well done!
I beat it and it was fun. One section depends on speed and dexterity of hand movement, SHOULD HAVE SKIP OPTION FOR ARTHRITIC PLAYERS! Puns are feeble, but not as bad as the second game. Think Beachcomber (By The Way) when drunk. Try it, you'll love it or hate it; possibly both. Worth the price.
Nice art and voice acting. The mechanics and gameplay are accurate and intuitive. The dialogs and story was fine. My only consern was the game length. I know this is supposed to be a game series but it seemed short and unfinished story even for an episode. If dev responds to this review in any way I'll make it 5 stars.
Most boring game ever. You play to read. And read... And read. You gotta wait for them to walk anywhere before they start speaking... And then read even more. Hot zones might as well stay lit, because that also takes time in every scene. Most of the time you end up accidentally skipping dialogs while trying to get the hotzones to reveal again. The game is incomplete and even worst, the ending is paywalled so you can't even see what's all this about. a complete waste of time. The only funny thing was the Cthulhu joke (Bless you!). And it was funny just because it's my nickname. There must be a way to rewind dialogs and a specific advance button to jump to the next one to avoid accidental skips. When you tap on exits they should just jump to the next scene instead os slowly crawling all the way across the screen. The game needs to be more dynamic. Overall: boring and unbearable.
A very well-done game! The artistic design of this game is perfect! The dialogue and voice acting is extremely entertaining & funny. The only thing I can knock this game on is it's a bit short. The puzzles are easy and the chapter ends quickly. Aside from that, I love this game and I'd love to see more games like it.
Best game I've played in a long time. Very good story with good dialogue and VERY funny jokes on the rude side. And a good length game with 4-5 chapters. So good I'm paying £3.99 for the sequel which is more than I would normally spend on a game. But game is so good I'm sure it will be worth it. I will review that one when finished.
If point and click is your jam, this one is scraping the bottom of the barrel. More like a interactive story to be fair, I wouldn't even call them puzzles, but they're obvious, boring and not remotely difficult. You'll more of less spend the game just listening to character interactions, which, in other games can make up for some of the lacking features, but no, the dialogue is also ridiculously boring. Would not recommend
I thought this was fun but there's a glitch in the dark sewer area and I can't get back out. Restarted the app multiple times and I can't continue playing. So frustrating and disappointing.
Loved this Game so much! The story line is fantastic and I just love the quirky humor and time period in which the game takes place. UPDATE Honestly one of the best point and click adventures I have played. Its been MANY months since I've played and I have not found a game as good as this.
It has bugs! At that ally when he is trying to jump that secret garden wall, suddenly another Betram enter and leave and game stuck! Nothing move anymore! People pay to play not to see what bugs do u have!!! I want a refund or at least u can solve the issue and eliminate the bug!
I really loved this game! Fantastic dialogue, interesting characters & I really love the art style. Genuinely had me chuckling throughout. Crossing my fingers for a new one! :)
It is a nice game, but it is way too expensive for just one chapter. It lasted 1 hour! I will see the gameplay of chp 2 on YouTube. I'm not spending more $$ on second part.
One of the best P&C games on mobile. Nice combination of story, challenges, voice acting, graphics, and gameplay. A game that's worth your while and money.
So much fun! If you like puzzle games with an easy to follow and entertaining storyline, give it a try. And the cartoon graphics are just too cute!
Great Adventures! Both were interesting. Episode 2 was a little glitchy towards the end but gameplay was not deeply affected. Anxiously awaiting episode 3.
Cannot suggest this game enough. It has all the best aspects of silver earring but so damn funny you will laugh you patooty off. Art is also beautiful. Played this multiple times! Play it, its a wonderful story.
Loved this hilarious game! Controls were easy to use for the most part on mobile Android 7.1, but game was hard to find in Google Play Store. I'd recommend for all ages, if you see ratings on Disney Movies? I love the English dark humor.
I wish there was a confirmation prompt for skipping scenes and dialogue. I accidentally skipped comedic gold every time bumped the screen.
What a fun game. I love that it is challenging but that I'd you forget something you don't have to redo everything or have negative consequences.
Great entertainment! Fun characters and storyline to go with a very engaging point & click adventure. Can't wait to continue this story in Pt. 2!
Great game, but it's short as hell. About a half hour long if you aren't stupid or miss stuff. Worth a buck. When the 2nd installment is a buck, I'll get that too.
Unfortunately it's unplayable on my pixel.There is an offset on tapping on the X axis and I can never click where I want.
Loved this game! I really wish they would come up with a part 2. This game is too cute and fun to play. I feel like the creators just left us on a cliffhanger without a part 2😩
Not very engaging. Weak plot and dialogue, and not much of any choice. The art is nice
Pretty short, but a really fun & silly game with great dialogue. Definitely worth a buck! The graphics are actually much better than I'd expected from the screenshots in Google Play. I do wish there wasn't an element where you have to navigate quickly to escape, though. I play these sorts of games to unwind, not to raise my blood pressure. There are PLENTY of "runner" games available for people who are seeking that. Please don't mix genres like that...or at least give us the option to skip it.
