Glitches in bonus
DNCNGQUN

Didn’t really find any glitches until the very end but after completing the game and finding all 40 of the bonus items the bonus content did not unlock as it was supposed to which is frustrating after all that work. It is very small to be played on iPhone even for me, a 22 year old with perfect vision, but I didn’t have to skip any mini-games or puzzles and just had to go back to find hidden music notes I missed the first time (sadly for no reason /: ). Would have been a great game otherwise


Awful! ? ?

Followers, Poorly designed game that is irritating to play. Voicing, background music, story flow and characterization are terrible. Glitches in Hidden Object scenes, along with map for game being of no help. Definitely not a game worth purchasing, although if one does enjoy jazz music, you might be able to put up with the blatant lack of quality control and poor game design. Thank you for your continued support. Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~Kamen Rider


Updated review!
Tammymariesd

Happy to update my review to 5 stars. For some reason, the Skip Puzzle option didn't work on my game. While the puzzles are creative and clever, some of them are so small that they are impossible to see. Those I prefer to skip. Now I can. Really good game!


Something wrong
hla-wallah

I didn't buy the game because I can't solve the problem which is when the woman said left left right left right i go to the game guide and the same they didn't show me how to solve it they were only repeat what the woman said even the picture didn't show what to do.. Is there Anybody help me? أنا لم أشتري اللعبه لأنني وقفت في مكان لا استطيع ان اتجاوزه وهو عندما قالت المرأه يسار يسار يمين يسار يمين حاولت بكل الطرق ضربت على الأبواب والإتجاهات وكل شيء وعندما يأست فتحت قايد اللعبه ولكنه للأسف لم يوضح كيفية الحل فقط كررماقالته المرأه وحتى الصوره لم توضح اي شيء.. من يعرف الحل فليساعدني.


Fantastic!

I have never given 5 stars before! I play these games all the time and cannot say I've ever enjoyed a game more. Great music, good graphics, well planned story, challenging yet not a game that makes you wanna pull your hair out by the root, and the extras were outstanding! Very nice!


Five stars for Mad Head Games creativity
AlsoNotBornYesterday

I debated how to rate this. Do I rate Big Fish's sloppiness and bugginess that would have made any other game unplayable? Do I allow a groundbreaking game to be punished for Big Fish's sloppiness. I'm rating Mad Head's creativity. This is without a doubt one of the most innovative games I ever played. It's a new favorite. I found the story compelling and could not put the game down. I cared about the characters. The artwork was as beautiful as any Artifex Mundi game, and the big band jazz influenced music and singing were perfect. The voice over actors could actually act! The morphing objects are in the HO scenes, and the HO scenes play differently than any HOG I've ever played. They were more like puzzles and the artwork and themes and "hook" changed every time. Brilliant! ? If you read Big Fish's forums, many posters noted that the developer prepared patches for the bugs. Big Fish refused to update the game. Mad Head is aware of the bugs and has already completed the patched. Big Fish is too lazy to bother updating the game. A professional game reviewer called this game ground breaking and they were not kidding. While the main elements seem like the same tired fare Big Fish has been lazily churning out with angry spirits exacting revenge through magical music with culprits you can guess miles away, that is not what's going on here. To say more would spoil the game. I got the premise wrong. I got the suspect wrong. I got pretty much everything wrong. I was supposed to get the whole thing wrong! Well done, Mad Head! ? Also nice was the change of theme. You're not playing a Caucasian princess in middle ages fairy tale land. You are playing a young African-American woman in 1940's New Orleans. Bravo! You have to Nancy Drew your way through what seems like an X-File. No spoilers. ? Also, no spiders or snakes. Thank you, Mad Head. ? Ah but the bad. Big Fish's horrid useless navigator app crashes the game every time you open it. The note collectible markers disappear during the third chapter, and randomly reappear near the end. Major GAME ENDING BUG❗there is a long puzzle after you pay where you need to locate an ❗apartment❗. You go up and down 4 floors checking names, switching light bulbs, and picking a lock. It's fun! But once you START this puzzle DO NOT LEAVE! Once you successfully find Frankie's apartment on the third floor❗AFTER PICKING THE LOCK ?GO STRAIGHT INSIDE❗❗❗. DO NOT TURN BACK. I backed out to see if there were any hidden note collectibles I missed only to get trapped in the hallway with the message "I found the apartment. I don't need to go back up". I wound up at the entrance unable to go upstairs. No matter what I tried, I was stuck on the first floor and had to start the whole game over from the beginning. If I weren't enjoying the music, I would have filled a one star review and applied for a refund. Once you pick the lock, go in and don't leave until there is absolutely nothing left to do in the room and you MUST go to the Mardi Gras festival. So Mad Head Games story, characters, actors, singers, composer, artists and team get a 5 star review. Big Fish, this was sloppiness worthy of one star. Get your act together. It's 2015. You aren't a Big Fish in iPhone games any more. Mad Head would be wise to look at working with G5. Bug free, this game is worth $5. If Big Fish fixes the bugs, this game has the potential to be one of the best iPhone games around. If you play these types of games on your computer, buy the bug-free version directly from the developer. If you only play games on your iPhone, be aware of the Bug in the FIND THE APARTMENT PUZZLE. GO STRAIGHT INTO THE APARTMENT AFTER PICKING THE LOCK.


SO FUN!

Im playing on iPhone & as much as I'd LOVE to be playing on a tablet -its no smaller/harder to see things than any other game! Im actually playing on an iPhone 4 & every time I open the game it reminds me it's better played on 4s or higher & I didn't have any issues beyond some minor annoyances/slow loading. *Because I ADORE New Orleans I was going to play, & unless it was horrible, purchase the game. So I was THRILLED with how fantastic this game really is! *The New Orleans themed storyline combined with clever new game play -not just the puzzles & hidden object scenes which are awesome, the game overall is just different! Im loving it! The music is spot on, the storyline was great & had me stumped, even the extras were fun! KEEP IT UP MAD HEAD, this was the first game in a LONG TIME I couldn't put down -I wish I could've played even longer!


Make more like this, please!

As another person said, it is great to play a game without magic, fairies and the like. I just started, but this looks like a true mystery and I love it! It's also very challenging and I'm playing on the easiest level. This will be one to play again on higher levels. I can't wait. Thanks Big Fish for offering us so many gaming options. ?


Enjoyed the Jazz music and the puzzles

Love the bonus content, especially the ability to go back through the scenes to replay, and find the hidden notes. Great storyline
