Pros and cons of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1: A Dreadly Business app for iPhone and iPad

Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1: A Dreadly Business app good for

This game is so much fun and has amazing animation. I couldnt let my hands off!!! Im already excited for episode 2.
best game Ive seen in a while, utterly funny and entertaining. Looking forward to episode 2
A steampunkish Victorian London, an unlikely hero and his sidekick, puns and British humour wrapped in a rather nasty murder with a side of creepy characters. A lot of potential for future episodes, keep it coming guys.
Funny dialogue and quirky characters, but for five bucks I expected much more.
Good game could have been a bit longer and shouldnt cost more money for future episodes
Game is awesome the most creative game Ive ever played. I love the world, the characters (especially the poking lady), soundtracks, colors etc. I hope well have the part two very soon.

Some bad moments

Good game.. Requires minimal intellect but definitely interesting. Although I agree the creativity is quite nice, the story is way too short for a $5 game.
Animation is good. Voices ok. Gameplay is overly simplistic with almost no challenge to the puzzles. Perhaps good for kids. Also its incredibly short for a $5 game. I had it finished in about an hour. I felt ripped off at the end saying "thats it?". Will not be buying any of the other episodes. Really itunes, best new game? I think not!
Got to chapter 3 after a number of patient reboots. Now its frozen. Cant tap on anything or continue the game. Seems like it would be fun otherwise.
I love a good point and click adventure/puzzle game! While this is not the most challenging game Ive ever played, it was definitely enough to keep me interested. Funny characters, intriguing plot. Cant wait for the next episode!!
Ill get straight to the point. The game has wonderful voice acting, beautiful art, funny and sometimes creepy or disturbing plot points and surprises. I give it four out of five for two reasons: its short. Even for a first chapter I completed it in under two hours. The puzzles are also a bit easy if youre a n adventure gamer.
I spent 4.99 on a game that i cant play. First it crashes and then when i went back only one chapter was saved. But it was terribly buggy as to where i couldnt click anything or go anywhere. Then when i replayed up to that point in a different slot and it just froze on me. There seems to be no fixing it Do not waste your money on this unplayable game. At least not until they fix it. It seems to be a good game but i wouldnt know.
