Many reviewers highlight the combination of challenging puzzles and a compelling storyline, with some noting the emotional depth and themes such as illegal animal trafficking. Overall, players appreciate the immersive experience and the quality of storytelling, particularly in Haiku's games, which consistently deliver entertaining narratives alongside intricate gameplay.

    • “I'm pretty good with plot twists and things like that, but this game's story took me down a rabbit hole I absolutely didn't see coming.”
    • “The overall story plot is fantastic, but there is a glitch in my game as I could not find the file of the cobra owner.”
    • “Haiku games is back - with another amazing game, with mind-blowing puzzles and an awesome back story.”
    • “Too bad because it seemed like a promising storyline.”
    • “I enjoyed this game but felt like it was shorter and slightly lacking in the story line compared to some of the other games from this developer.”
    • “The storyline is a little bit strange, from illegal pet trading then jump to bribery and corruption.”
  • graphics
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received widespread praise for their beauty and quality, with many users highlighting them as a standout feature. While some players experienced technical issues such as graphical glitches and text display problems, the overall consensus is that the visuals are impressive and enhance the gaming experience. Additionally, the combination of engaging storylines and well-designed puzzles complements the high-quality graphics, making for an enjoyable gameplay experience.

    • “The graphics are beautiful, the characters are likable and the puzzles are balanced.”
    • “Kaiku never disappoints with the storyline and the graphics are always amazing!”
    • “Loved it... excellent graphics, excellent puzzles... hats off to the team for providing such a brilliant game.”
    • “Why are so many permissions required? The game is broken from the install; it doesn't display text properly (shows as purple blocks) and has lots of graphical glitches, like things not showing (black boxes where items should be) but still being clickable.”
    • “The graphics are disappointing, with many glitches and issues that detract from the overall experience.”
    • “The graphics are subpar and fail to meet modern standards, making the game feel outdated.”
  • monetization
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is generally viewed positively, with many users appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the fact that the game is free to play. However, some players express frustration over the inability to earn in-game currency (stars) without making purchases, suggesting that options like watching ads for rewards would enhance the experience. Overall, while the game is enjoyable and challenging, there are calls for better mechanisms to earn hints and stars without spending money.

    • “It is with no ads, and even if they do appear, they come when another chapter is about to start, and you can easily remove them.”
    • “Little to no ads in the game, bonus!”
    • “And the best part is, there are no ads!”
    • “However, after a short while, if you are stuck, there is no opportunity to get 'stars' without paying. Most similar franchises at least allow you to watch ads for stars/coins/hints and give you a small free amount each day.”
    • “Love these games. However, some of it makes no sense. There should be better clues or more stars, and there should be a way to get stars like watching ads instead of buying. It does make you think, which is a good thing. I have played a lot from the makers and would recommend it to others, but I have done this on a couple of other games and did not receive stars.”
    • “Challenging puzzles, free without annoying ads, that's what I like about this game. However, I often found that some of the puzzles don't make any sense and I have to use hints. Probably you should give instructions to all of the mini-games so we know how to solve the puzzle without having to spend stars.”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with numerous users reporting significant bugs and glitches, particularly in later chapters, which hinder gameplay and progress. Many players experienced issues such as freezing, graphical errors, and the need to restart levels or the app entirely, leading to frustration and loss of saved progress. While some users reported a smooth experience, the overall consensus indicates that stability is a major concern that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “This game had no glitches for me.”
    • “I experienced a smooth gameplay experience without any crashes.”
    • “The stability of the game is impressive; I didn't encounter any bugs.”
    • “I really wanted to give this game more stars, but chapter 9 is so buggy, I can't even finish it!”
    • “It was too buggy, had to restart to get it to work which meant I lost my saved game and had to start again.”
    • “Why are so many permissions required? Also, the game is broken from install; it doesn't display text properly (shows as purple blocks) and has lots of graphical glitches, like things not showing (showing black boxes where stuff should be) but still being clickable.”
  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its smoothness, creativity, and the integration of classic mechanics, while others find certain puzzles overly obscure and frustrating. Improvements such as the option to skip previously completed puzzles have been noted positively, but the overall difficulty has increased, making it a more challenging experience. Despite these issues, many players still enjoy the engaging storyline and diverse gameplay elements.

    • “Fun and creative puzzles that bring back some great mechanics from past games but with better graphics and application.”
    • “It was a good game with an interesting storyline and the gameplay went beyond your usual hidden objects by using a range of click and play and puzzle solving.”
    • “Some extremely obscure puzzles in this game can't be solved by rational thinking (e.g. working out the code to get into the house, where you have to multiply, add, subtract numbers, but nothing to suggest you have to do that). Things like this make the gameplay frustrating and disappointing.”
    • “I realized you might want to prolong the gameplay, but seriously, why ruin the experience just for the sake of it?”
    • “With the gameplay being on a whole new level, this is my favorite haiku game so far, hands down.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its fun story, amusing characters, and clever puzzles, with players particularly enjoying the inclusion of B-movie titles and humorous rap lyrics. Overall, the game is praised for its comedic elements, making it a standout experience.

    • “Fun story, funny characters, great puzzles.”
    • “The B-movie titles and cheesy rap lyrics made it hilarious!”
    • “The track puzzle was hilariously awesome, great job guys!”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious due to the game's save system, which only allows progress to be saved upon completing a chapter. This design choice leads to frustration when having to redo puzzles, detracting from the overall enjoyment and challenge of the game.

    • “Only saves once you finish a chapter, which makes it very tedious to redo puzzles if you don't finish.”
    • “This is the third haiku game I've not finished because completing it was tedious instead of fun and challenging.”
