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!!
