  • graphics
    340 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their beauty, detail, and smoothness, with many users highlighting the stunning visuals and immersive art style. However, some reviews note that while the graphics are impressive, the gameplay often lacks challenge, with puzzles being described as too easy or simplistic.

    • “Beautiful graphics, gameplay reminiscent of those confounding boxes in the room series.”
    • “Absolutely stunning graphics, and love playing this kind of game.”
    • “The graphics are clean but lack character; the foreboding tone of the room games is replaced with nothing, and the gameplay, while wholly playable, is devoid of challenge and makes no logical sense.”
    • “Art style is also forgettable, just some cages that look identical to each other, with zero interesting details.”
    • “Simple puzzles and boring graphics; buggy (no music, restart music appears; game crashes on level 10, restart works; puzzle on 10 doesn't work, flip off app and back to it and it then works).”
  • story
    100 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and worth the investment, while others criticize it as underdeveloped or lacking depth. Many noted that the narrative is often overshadowed by the gameplay mechanics, with some expressing frustration over needing to pay to access the full story. Overall, while the graphics and puzzle design are praised, the story's execution varies significantly among players, leading to a range of opinions on its quality and impact.

    • “The story was interesting and it was worth paying the few pounds for the rest of the game since I'd rather support a developer that puts thought and care into their game than paying for pay-to-win mechanics you get in 'free' games.”
    • “This game is phenomenally made and has such an intricate way of telling a story.”
    • “It's so addicting; each level gets more interesting with the story building on top of it.”
    • “I felt like I'd played it before the first time, and the story didn't have much to it either.”
    • “The story element was what made me buy the full game, only to discover a rushed ending with no real resolution.”
    • “The story is weak, and the cages are not puzzles so much as they are tasks.”
  • monetization
    81 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the heavy reliance on ads and the high cost of unlocking additional levels. While some appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, others feel that the combination of frequent ads and paywalls makes the game feel like a cash grab. Players have suggested alternatives, such as allowing ad views to unlock levels, indicating a desire for a more balanced approach to monetization.

    • “I happily paid $5 so she has all the levels and no ads, especially due to it not being monotonous junk like haircutting or flipping burgers!”
    • “Very good, fun and interesting £3.89 for no ads and all hints you want is good value.”
    • “Wonderful art, interesting puzzles, and best no ads.”
    • “If you're going to lock the rest of the game behind paywalls, don't bust our balls with ads, especially the amount here.”
    • “This is a cash grab so transparent it's staring directly at you.”
    • “Only 10 levels for you if you don't want to make any in-app purchases.”

    • “Not challenging whatsoever: much less than 1 hour of gameplay.”
