  • The game offers a large number of puzzles, providing plenty of content for puzzle enthusiasts.
  • Some puzzles are enjoyable and can be challenging, making for a decent brain exercise.
  • The hint system allows players to skip difficult puzzles, which can help maintain engagement.
  • The game suffers from poor puzzle design, with many puzzles being illogical or poorly worded, leading to frustration.
  • Technical issues, such as resolution problems and bugs, make the game difficult to play and unresponsive at times.
  • It is heavily criticized for being a low-quality clone of the Professor Layton series, lacking the charm and polish of the original.
  • story
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is often criticized for being bland, convoluted, and lacking engagement, with many reviewers noting it pales in comparison to the Professor Layton series. While some appreciate its coherence and occasional interesting elements, the overall narrative is seen as simplistic and juvenile, failing to effectively enhance the puzzle-solving experience. Despite its shortcomings, the story is deemed acceptable for a budget title, providing a basic framework for the gameplay.

    • “I'm really just glad they bothered with a coherent story.”
    • “I liked the story - it was well done - short spurts of storyline rather than long cut scenes.”
    • “The story is surprisingly reasonable and ties in nicely with puzzle solving.”
    • “The story is confusing and not really engaging, and the graphic style is also not very appealing.”
    • “The characters are fairly hollow, the story is convoluted, and the puzzles (all too frequently) are driven not by difficult design, but instead by difficult phrasing.”
    • “With the game's bipolar story, it makes you wonder if the story was written by one person or by committee.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been widely criticized for being terrible and repetitive, lacking appeal and personality. Players find the songs simplistic, often resembling monotonous sounds, and the gameplay mechanics surrounding music feel uninspired, leading to a lack of engagement. Overall, the music is seen as an unnecessary addition that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “One thing that they try to do to mix things up is adding music levels into the mix.”
    • “As for playing the songs, the player simply has to repeat the pattern of the music.”
    • “Additionally, if the player does enough to reach the quota, then they can just let the song run without doing anything else to finish.”
    • “Terrible, repetitive music.”
    • “Just like the puzzles, the music is also lacking in appeal or personality.”
    • “Every song has a simple pattern, many of which sound like they could be from a single-tone like a foghorn or whistle.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a simplistic, child-friendly art style that may not appeal to all players, with some reviewers finding it unengaging. Despite its cartoonish appearance, the game features challenging puzzles that can attract an adult audience.

    • “The story is confusing and not really engaging, and the graphic style is also not very appealing.”
    • “Don't be deceived by the game's childish art style; the puzzles can be quite challenging for adults.”
    • “The art style clearly points towards a kid's appeal with simple design and button eyes.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game, particularly in rhythm and sliding puzzles, to be tedious and often boring, with some difficulty levels being frustrating. However, hints can be utilized to alleviate some of the challenges, which may enhance the experience for those struggling with these puzzles.

    • “The rhythm puzzles were a bit tedious, and the sliding and hidden picture puzzles were just really boring and difficult for me.”
    • “If you find them difficult or, like me, too tedious, you can always use hints that you gain from solving bonus puzzles.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a variety of puzzles that engage players; however, it struggles to fully capture the charm and depth of the Professor Layton series, ultimately falling short in comparison.

    • “The gameplay is good, puzzles are varied and there are plenty of them.”
    • “It attempts to emulate the Professor Layton series and its style of gameplay, but falls short in almost every aspect.”
