Great but CRASHES!

Universal Respect

This terrific game is stuck in an app that keeps crashing. I’ve been playing Zoombinis for decades from Windows ’95 onward, and this app is a pretty good replica. It has a lot of the original Easter eggs & extras, as other reviews have noted. But TERC hasn’t put out updates in a long time, despite that iOS keeps updating. Is that the reason for the repetitive crashes? Is there anything that can be done to make it more stable?


Better then I remembered!

Used to play this throughout my childhood and was very excited to find it again! Such a fun game and so full of nostalgia for me :)


Unplayable

I bought this for $3 as I heard it was good and educational. So, I can’t choose difficulty at the start? (Presumably I have to beat the entire game first?!) And I can’t save my game? (Going to the map resets.) How good can the game be if the user experience is so terrible? I know it’s a remake, but it’s a 2015 release, so there’s no excuse. If anything, the devs had 20 years to realize improvements. This lowers the bar for educational games. Shame on you. And it’s been out for 5 years? If anything, make the limitations clear in the description. Money grab.


The Best Game Ever!

I’ve always loved this game and I really enjoy the tricky puzzles. I hope people also like this game to. There is really only one thing I have to come plain about is the hotel part gets a little too hard.


Love it

My sister and I played this when I was a kid. I honestly forgot about it for years before it randomly popped in my head and I looked for it in the App Store to find that it was actually a game that I can play on my iPad. I’m so happy and it did not disappoint.


A Trip Down Memory Lane!

I was so excited to find this app for the iPad! There used to be a CD rom game of this game when I was a kid. It’s great to have another chance to play it! This should be a new trend, to bring back the old CD rom games that were popular like Carmen Santiago, the Knowledge Adventure games like Reader Rabbit and Cluefinders, Jumpstart, and so much more!


So happy!

So happy this game is true to its original PC format. I love they kept the same audio!


Every bit as good as I remember

The nostalgia is real, but this is also just a really great, charming, thoughtful game made with great art and fun puzzles.


No sound

Loved this game growing up and randomly found it in the App Store only issues I have is that I can’t hear any sound from the game unless I plug in headphones


None of the iconic sound

I'm so sad that I paid for this app. It has no sound, and no settings area to manipulate sound. What fun is Zoombinis without the iconic sound? Such a disappointment.
