What tablet players say
This is just the type of game I enjoy: puzzle solving. I just discovered this and I’m happy to say it still works perfectly fine on my ipad. My only complaints are 1. If you leave the game to go to another app and come back, it goes to the initial splash screen instead of where you left off. For this game you really need to take notes on where things are, so having a delay every time you went back from consulting a note was a little annoying. 2. I wish the hint icon was set off by itself. I kept hitting it by accident when I meant to hit the bag. 3. I wish the hints were more subtle. Instead they tell you exactly what to do. But other than those minor things the game was great. Beautiful scenery, a creative storyline, and puzzles that were challenging, some more than others. The hardest part was remembering where things were even with the map. Thanks to the creator for numbering all the map cells.
