Zoombinis Reviews

Doesn't work in higher levels

Veryverydisapointed

I have always loved this game since I was a kid and so happy to have found it again. I'm just extremely disappointed that I will never get a chance to complete the game because it crashes at the higher levels. I love this game and I always wanted to beat it on hard but that's not possible because it doesn't work. If you have kids it's a great game, but for people like me who wanted to experience the FULL game again, it's not worth it. Fix the higher levels and then I would rate 5stars. And now I know reviews are fake it won't let me post this

Hip Hip Zoombinis!!!

Finally, (the logical journey of the) Zoombinis has made it from the PowerPC world and system 9.0! I almost cried 5 years ago when I upgraded my new Mac's system software and had to give up several beloved games, chief among them—The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. I discovered the game while working at an after school tutoring program. The objective of the game to get a collection of little blue creatures called Zoombinis, 16 at a time, from Zoombini Isle to Zoombiniville. To do so, a player must navigate a series of logical puzzles. At first the puzzles are relatively simple, but fairly quickly, play moves through four levels of difficulty, the fourth, "very, very hard" often being quite mind bending. It is not the sort of game you play in one 5-20 minute sitting. Rather you save your progress and return to the game, perhaps taking weeks or months to get all your Zoombinis to Zoombiniville. In addition, you can access practice mode to spent more time with puzzles you find more troublesome, more engaging or just more fun. One thing that is missing with this version that I think newbies are missing and that would be really helpful. In the old version, when you reached a new level of difficulty, the instructions displayed, when you clicked the help button changed. So, for example, at the allergic cliffs, at level two, you might be told that one of the cliffs looked for two attributes, say red noses, and roller skates. Without such additional instructions, the game might not seem quite as sophisticated as it is and one could easily conclude, as one reviewer did that it might be great for young kids who wanted to watch the little blue creatures get banged up, but hold little appeal for anyone else. Instead, it ought to be billed as a game for 8 to 108. "Fleens. You're not Fleens. Whoever you are, make me a pizza."

Love it, but it stopped working?

I loved this game as a kid, so of course I bought it when I saw it in the store. And it was highly enjoyable until just now. As others have said, once you get to the harder levels the game stops working. I can't even get my saves game to open anymore. I don't know what happened, but hopefully they fix it soon.

Great game but has problems

Agree with all users. Need to fix crystal and cave on higher levels. Unable to place crystals on left side of screen. Please fix...paid good money for this app!!

No Sound

I'm so excited to play this game, but once I downloaded it, the sound wouldn't work on my iPad. I can't say if it will ever come back on or how the actual game is yet, but very sad that the sounds don't work. I did check the sound settings too, and they are on.

Too many bugs

I loved this game as a kid but is impossible to beat. Crystal caves have way too many bugs in upper levels. Wouldn't have purchased the game if I knew. Doesn't look like game developers have any plans on fixing these glitches anytime soon.

Buggy But Still Good Memories

I remembered this from my childhood so it was amazing to be able to play it again. However, once I get to "Very Hard," the Magic Mirrors challenge is impossible to complete because of the bugs. I can select the mirror but they do not "lock" on the platform. The platform glows and the mirrors stay facing the viewer but if you pull the lever, it acts as if no mirrors were selected and I lose a Zoombini.

Good, but unstable

Seems I can get through about 6 screens before it crashes on an iPad 2, or end up with a undraggable 'bini on Mirror Madness. I wanna be able to hand this to a kid, but having it randomly close and wipe out all their progress makes it untenable...

App gets stuck

MellaBella92

This is a great game, however it gets stuck between screens and you can't continue. Don't have a fix for this yet!

Excited, but please fix the bugs!

I am another adult who loved zoombinis as a kid. I could not have been more excited when my sister told me it was an iPad app. Sadly it looks like I may not be able to finish the game. I hit glitches at Oh so hard in Bubble Wonder. I started getting the puzzles from Very Hard. Mirror Cave is the worst though! On Oh So Hard picking up zoombinis is hard, Very hard started with mirrors refusing to come off or lock on the platform. Now I'm getting unsolvable matches. The crazy thing is it all works in practice mode. Please, please fix this! I want to love this app.
