Love this game. It’s a childhood classic

I love that this is an app. I used to play this all the time as a kid and it’s just like the original. So glad this is out. My only complaint is I wish you could see the list of achievements. It shows it at the top when you get it but it would be nice to see how many more I can get. Also you should make a DOTT #2
The best point and click adventure I’ve ever played

Day of the tentacle is both very funny and well thought out. The game essentially takes place in the same location throughout: a large house. But because the three friends are stuck in time (one in the past, one in the future), you can freely jump around between three iterations of the same house, each iteration vastly different. With the addition of a time machine for you inventory items, you can send (most) things back and forth through time to a different character in order to solve puzzles. This layout and this inventory time travel mechanic creates an incredibly dense, thoughtful game that challenges you without ever feeling overwhelming. Games with larger, nonlinear areas can often feel overwhelming because you don’t know where you’re supposed to go, or whether you’ve exhausted all of your exploration options. For example in Grim Fandango I was stuck for a long time simply because I didn’t know there was a lighthouse I could go to, as the path to the lighthouse was not obvious. In DoTT, however, since the house structure is basically the same within each time period, you’re given a set number of rooms to explore, with very concrete problems to solve, and it’s just up to you to solve them. You should never feel like there are rooms or areas you haven’t found. The puzzles are also very clever and goofy without being too illogical or ridiculous. There were occasional spots where I didn’t know what to do next, but I was always able to overcome with just a bit of time to think. You’ll often need to switch back and forth between your characters to think about your inventory and where those items could be useful. The game is funny, and the interactions of the items with other characters or things are often entertaining to observe as well as a way to gain useful knowledge about what an item might do for you in game. For example (light spoiler) you have a green textbook in your inventory at the start of the game. I let it sit there without doing anything with it for a long time, until I was slightly stuck later on, so I tried to give the book to someone for them to read. I thought, hey maybe they’ll want to read this textbook. My character then proceeded to read the book out loud to the other character, and the character told me to stop or he’d fall asleep. This gave me an “aha” moment, as there happened to be another character in a different location that I needed to make fall asleep. Anyway I’m rambling. The game is fantastic. It’s dense, it’s smart, it’s hilarious. Remastered update looks amazing, and I just really can’t complain about any of it.

This game was incredible as a kid and this app is flawless! If you are like me, then you want the original sound and graphics. This app delivers with both the original graphics and the updated graphics as options. I loved it and continue to enjoy it. Buy it now! You won’t regret it. :) Developers: Please consider a part 2! Get the old cast together and see what new adventures you guys can come up with!
No sound

Played this game as a kid and loved it! Was really excited to play it again on my phone (iPhone XR), but there is no sound. Super bummed! Please fix so I can update my review.
True Classic

I am so glad this was saved! LucasArt games were amazing and this is nostalgic to a T!
Superb, but difficult
Peter Maurer
I love puzzle games. Riven, The Room Series, Tengami, etc. so of course I had to get this one. This game is perfectly executed as far as characters and controls, but it is also extremely difficult! You really need to think outside of the box to move forward. My only constructive criticism is that for cutscenes, you can skip them just by holding your finger on the screen, which is just a bit too easy. And there’s no way to replay it, so key information can be missed.
Great game but bloated download

Original game is a classic but this version consumes an unreasonable amount of disk space at almost 3gb for a game that came out in 1993. For comparison, more recent mobile games like super MARIO run or Sam and max beyond space and time both come in at around 300 mb. What, exactly, is included in this massive package?
