Lifeline: Crisis Line

This was a very long game compared to its previous games. I liked it, it was immersive and i was thinking all the time to help the detective. It deserves a 5 star but im giving it 4 because of my one and only complaint; usually the text is too fast for me to read and it automatically scrolls down when a new text appears. So i missed anything even one sentence, i have to wait for the whole dialogue to end before scrolling up to read. It was irritating at times. However, thanks for the awesome gam

I want to give it 5 stars but there's one thing that really bugs me. Sometimes the text is coming in too fast for me to read it and it always pushes the screen to the bottom as texts are coming in. So if I'm getting several texts at once I can't pause and read to catch up. I have to wait until a dialogue option pops up. Just give me an option to turn OFF automatic scroll and this game would be perfect.

Underwhelming. I've enjoyed the games in this series, but this one is just subpar. The addition of the Greens is a distraction. The choices don't affect what happens much at all. It's frustrating that messages continue even if you have your screen off, which cuts down on the immersive feel of the game. My biggest frustration though is the amount of cop propoganda. Telling us that cops are just misunderstood and how exciting it is to pull someone over and have power over them sure was a choice.

I really enjoyed the first lifeline and this one is good and I can't really think of another way of describing the scenes and what's happening but, the immersion gets a bit lost imagining this detective is texting you the player in the middle of his interviews or dealing with bad guys. Lol like "hold on I'm texting this help tech guy, don't shoot". Maybe if it was in the future and he had an implant that communicates his thoughts.

I've played the whole series that is out so far, and I love all of them. This one is delightful for multiple reasons. I've always wanted to be a police officer and one day move up to homicide detective. Whether I get to live that dream is beside the point. This is an amazing game that helps you dive into the story along side the detective and figure out even more of the lore.

i'd give it a 5 for having a nice plot and immersion, only continuing the story after a certain period of time. it's as if alex is real, and we're his detective sidekick (over a chat). i just find auto-scroll a bit inconvenient

this is amazing, and I want so badly to finish it after I realized what would have worked (AFTER I'd uninstalled in frustration) but I can't, when I launch it nothing shows after the title screen

Extremely absorbing story and one of the best interface and controls for a smartphone game! I am looking forward to many more apps from this genius game company!

the games crashes. i was gaving fun not wont even open. i paid for this game. what am i supposed to do?

Not enjoyable with too many story failures despite good choices.

Great Game. Very enjoyable, keeps you thinking.

It was OK. Storyline to me was a bit draggy.

Interesting twist in gameplay for this entry in the series

I love the format of these games. The story is interesting and fun to follow through, although it feels a bit rushed by the end (tho with the way they keep connecting all the stories, i wouldn't worry about it too much). I'd give it a 5 star rating if it weren't for the repeated crashes when trying to use the settings.

I have played all games by you guys I love them all. This one I've been pkaying for a while now and still haven't finished the story. I keep having to rewind it. Its definitely a hard one but my favorite thus far.edit: all the new updates and constantly losing ny progress is not cool

Update: now my progress is freezing on a blue screen where none of the text comes up. This game wasn't ready.: I'm sorry. I really enjoy these games. But this is going on the back burner until you figure this stuff out. Two updates in a week that both reset days of progress. What I played was delightful and engaging, but this is beyond frustrating.

This is one of the more interesting entries in the series from a plot perspective. It takes the story to new places and expands on the mythology quite a bit. I like that it adds in a few puzzles too. However, it also strains the format of the game. It's hard to believe that a cop would actually be chatting about a case to some random internet person. The ending is also extremely abrupt but will presumably expand to new chapters. Overall, this is a fun experience but not as immersive as the original.

Lifeline was a great start. Silent Night was good but brief. Lifeline 2 introduced some interesting new mechanics, especially alternate endings, but was less polished than the precursors, with some story loops and weird pacing. This one feels like 3 Minute Games is mastering the format, with good characters, many story options, and a rich interface. Looking forward to more!

The text is so fast it keeps me from enjoying the game. After six or seven bubbles I'm just lost because there is no animation, what I'm reading just pops up from a random height at a random time interval. Really annoying and I really want to enjoy the game. If at least we could slow the text down.

I've purchased and played every one of your games and they usually get 5 stars. This story line had been good, but I was unable to complete because you reset my progress with each update - I'm not interested wasting days replaying the same story line over and over - too bad the updates weren't tested before being pushed out to paying members...

I've enjoyed the other titles and at first I liked this one and it has become boring. It seems to drag on and it feels like the game is trying to turn Austin into a product placement. At this point I'm just trying to get through it so I can move on to Infinity.

This really used the Lifeline format well! I enjoyed the story, the use of the setting, and anytime I needed to/was encouraged to Google something. I also stressed out more over the choices I had to make here than I have in other installments--the stakes felt really high. This felt brilliantly interactive--I really enjoyed the feeling of helping Alex on his case!

I love this! Great story line and characters, I had to play in fast mode because I was so excited to see what would happen next. I especially loved the inclusion of photos/music/facts that I could look up myself. If I could change one thing it would be the speed at which the texts come when you're getting a string of them, but it's not a big deal. I have played most of these and intend to play anything you put out. I haven't had any of the problems I read about in the reviews. Great job!

So, texts come in a bit to fast and they often move off screen before I finish. Normally I'd just scroll up to read it but new texts jerked me back down so that I'd have to wait for Alex to be busy or until a decision point for me to catch up. I ended up playing in fast mode because I'd rather get it over with and sacrifice timing. I don't remember past games having that issue. Otherwise, it was pretty cool with the tie-ins to past games. I wish I could take notes in game to better answer questions though.

I am a huge fan of all of the Lifeline games. They're all so well written and I especially liked how connected I felt to the character in this one. It said I did as well as I good which means I win but ... you have to hurry up and release the next one! Alex! My only complaint is that the app kept crashing a bunch towards the end. Otherwise, bravo. Loved it.

Every time I finish a game I think you can't top that, but you always do! So far this is my favourite part. The music is perfect, the storyline in perfect, the characters are complex, Alex is awesome! The games are getting longer and more and more interactive, I hope you continue down this path. There were a few times when making a choice based on logic was not possible (run, you have to run vs. please run...) but not nearly as many as in the previous game. I looooved the references to the previous games, and was extatic that I could indicate my knowledge about them to Alex! I really cared about him and became quite emotional at the end, please bring him back!
