Классная игра! Немного пришлось подглядывать в прохождении, но удовольствие огромное! Спасибо!

I really tried to like it because I love your games and I love the concept but it wasn't very interesting. I also prefer to have rooms open up as I go along and solve puzzles instead of having everything accessible right away. Then it can easily get tedious and overwhelming. Plus is doesn't have any hints even though you can enable them in the settings.

Çok güzel, zevkli, renkli ve bulmacaları uğraştıran bir oyundu. İyi ki almışım dedirtti. Görsellik olarak da çok iyiydi. Özellikle oyuncaklarla ilgili olması oyunu daha da zevkli hale getirmiş. Eğlendim. Teşekkürler

Such a great game. I've enjoyed my time playing it. The graphics are good and charming, while the sounds are neat. Controls are simple and easy to use, although I think the photo gallery could be improved a bit. The rest of the user interface is clean. The game doesn't have a true story, but it's OK. The puzzles cover the entire gamut of challenges and difficulties, from easy to head scathing, with only a couple of very obtuse ones. Overall, a very satisfying game, one that I recommend.

ヒント機能ありません。英語のクロスワード4問で、簡単な英単語(ほとんどの日本人知っていると思う)でしたけど悩みました。ひとつの部屋だけぐるぐるしますが、仕掛けはたくさんあります。

I love it! But this was a tough one! I would prefer to have clues! It's frustrating getting totally stuck with no clues on the next move! But never the less, it is a really good game!!

I was having a good time up until I had to collect the diamond puzzle piece in the vent - it's positioned right behind the back button, which means I can't pick it up

Love glitch games. I can't progress to the end, though, as there is an error in the game. When I try to collect the yellow puzzle piece from the vent area the backwards arrow is in the way so I can not grab it! I've tried so many times but unfortunately still can't get it, so I can't finish the game.
