Alice - Behind the Mirror (FULL) - A Hidden Object Adventure App Reviews

I was enjoying playing this game with my daughter, but we have gotten to a point where it seems the game is not recognizing our progress. The hint keeps telling us to find the egg in the future to make it hatch. We found the egg, but are not able to do anything with it. It just keeps telling us to find the egg.

Very cute graphics but I felt like the game was short for the price. To the reviewer above, go to the future and trying looking around the table. There is something there that will help with the egg.

So much fun

I love the hide and seeks. They are more challenging than most. The puzzles are fun too. Right now I am stuck. The last spade on 2nd chess board wont unlock. Dont know if it is me or a bug.

Too many times the next action you must take is pretty clear, but making it happen is another story. It took me forever to get the egg both in and out of the teapot, it wasnt clear how Alice was supposed to drink the potion, and right now Ive GOT the white paint in inventory for the roses... But the only hint is "get the white paint from the drawing room" and I can find no way to use it on the roses. It seriously needs work. Some things, I managed to accomplish with no idea of how I did it. So, absorbing and pretty, but frustrating for all the wrong reasons.

Im enjoying the game, but Im stuck. It seems frozen at the feathers in the box. I have one and cant click on the others that I need, the timer is still going, and nothing is clickable on the page. I cant even close the page, go to the inventory, or open the menu! I hard reset my phone and no change.

Like others have posted, the glitches result in no game play. Im supposed to find the teapot in the parlor. I knew where it was right away but it didnt work. So I explored the whole game. Then searched the internet. Found out I was right, but a glitch keeps any tapping on the pot from being reactive. Frustrating.

This game, although pretty, has little content. It pretty much shows you exactly where to go and what to do. I like a lot of adventure in my hidden object games and this one doesnt have much. There are few easy mini puzzles and a lot of hidden object scenes. Some of the objects are mislabled so they were hard to find. (Ears of corn that were really wheat.) I just gave up and stopped playing because I was bored. The music is on a loop and gets annoying. It seems like it would be fun for an older child. I definitely should have tried before I bought. The only cool things were the facts that were sprinkled throughout the game.

Review UPDATE 07 March 2015 : Nine months later and still no bug fix: FAIL! By the way, Ive replaced my old iPad with an iPad Air 2 (running iOS 8.1.2) but the apps bugs [still] live on... Original Review, June of 2014: While Microids creates some of the most beautiful point and click adventure games for iOS (and Alice is no exception); so, why a one star rating? Please read on: Simple: [it is only one star] because of game-stopping bugs that the developers dont seem to have time, or enough respect for players, or the basic competence (who knows-- not me) to eliminate. Apparently there is insufficient beta testing prior to game release on iTunes and then, more importantly, app updates are rarely timely or even done at all. My current game-stopping bug here is the crazy-making loop "find the white paint can" discussed by other reviewers (which I already found and used) that I cant seem to get out of on my iPad 2 (running iOS 5.1.1). Anyway, this isnt the first time these developers have suckered me into buying one of their games (its hard to stop hoping for a turnaround by otherwise brilliant game creators). So, this time its shame on me too but tons more shame on Microids! Disgusting!!
