Cryptic Caverns for iPad Reviews

not ready for release

This game has potential but has bug issues. I was working at solving a puzzle and was suddenly taken to an entirely new area of the game. (I know this is an error in the game because I did not solve the necessary puzzles to enter the "temple" area, Everything suddenly changed. I lost all my inventory and could not return to where I was). This is no small error... the game can't be completed. Other items: --"hints" are actually solutions --awkward navigation and use of inventory --requires pencil and paper if you want a map or record clues

Needs work

The game has been fairly difficult. While I enjoy a challenge, I finally had to look at the hints which as mentioned in a review of an earlier version is the solution to the puzzle. I am now stuck in front of the cavern door. I have even followed the instructions in the hints section and the door will not open. 3 stars for great concept and story; however, with the current issues, I cannot give it more. Please fix.

A good puzzle adventure

Not too difficult, but does make you think. Well worth your time and a very good value at 0.99. This is the second one of the cryptic series I have played ... Now on to the third. Runs smooth ... Did not encounter any bugs or glitches whatsoever.

Bought the game after the october update which should have corrected bugs. It still has a bug. No matter what I do the middle column door won't open. It's frustrating.

I got bored

It is O.K., but not exciting.

I really didn't like this one at all. I don't want a puzzle to do all the work for me, but this one has practically no guidance at all. Had to refer to the walkthrough almost from the beginning. Not worth it.

Entertaining

I enjoyed this. The puzzles and mystery were challenging but not impossible. The ending was a little lame. Although my settings were for sound and music there was none of either. Some audio accompaniment would have been nice.

Loved it

Give me more. Really makes you think.

Meh

Pros: Puzzles were interesting and not too hard. Graphics were kind of cool. Cons: Plot and gameplay often didn't make sense. Written descriptions of objects hinted too much. I had problems because there was no way to unclick an inventory object, so I would have to use the scene back button. End game was lame. Approximately three hours of play time. Mediocre overall, worth 99 cents.

Waste of money

I love puzzle games. I worked my way through "The Room" in an evening, and I love all of the 7th Guest and 11th Hour style games, even the real old school 80s games for the Apple 2c like WishBringer,which is what I was hoping this game was like. It did resemble that type of game with the same style of graphics, but it wound up being me rambling though the mostly non-interactive setting with very little logical progression, and when I tried to complete tasks nothing would happen (I would assume I was doing it wrong and check the hints only to realize that it was telling me to do exactly what I had already tried to do without success). Save your money and buy any other game- I would suggest Machinarium or The Room- but don't bother with this piece of crap.
