Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1: A Dreadly Business App Reviews

A fun little puzzle, adventure game, and very humorous.

Hmm, no bugs to speak of. Great game, similar to the Inner World game in cartoon drawings. Great voice overs and generally easy to play. Puzzles arent very hard though.

The game is ok. Kind of short for$4.99. The intro price should have been .99 or even 1.99 to get players hooked. If the following episodes are as short and easy as this one,4.99 is much to high. I will most likely try the next episode but if the quality of the game stays the same it will be the last one I buy.

Its a good game, but my biggest issue is that its on the shorter end. I finished in about two hours. Other than the length its great. A great art style overall. Some minor issues with animation but nothing game breaking. only experienced one bug where the audio was repeated twice but otherwise it ran smoothly and keep in mind Im playing on an iPad 3. Very funny writing and lots of references. Its worth the money if nothing else to encourage these types of games compared to bad clones. Cant wait to see whats next!

I was very entertained by this game. Had no problems whatsoever, so I was very lucky. I know how much a buggy game can annoy. I played on iPhone 6+.

This game looks great, has a delightful sense of humor, and is a bit more mature than the average adventure game (which I consider a plus). It was too short (beat it in an hour) and the action sequences were lame. Swipe to move up and down to dodge obstacles? Its like a small and boring piece of an endless runner, and feels like an afterthought so the creators can claim the game has some extra play elements. The game would be better without it and would also be improved by adding a few more complex puzzles. Ill play the next chapter when it comes out, but theyre going to need to make some improvements to keep me from dropping the series at that point.

Cute game, would like it better if it wasnt frozen and I could finish it. Have IPad4, I have tried everything to get it going with no luck. Fix it and Ill give it a much higher rating. It is disappointing to pay so much for an unplayable game.

Funny game with quirky animation. But the actual gameplay is a bit boring and way too short.

Think of your 4.99 as an investment for the future of the series and this is a fun little adventure game worth the few hours it takes to complete the first episode. Fun character designs, decent animation, good voice acting and a solid story. Its certainly easy compared to a lot of adventure games, but it was enjoyable and I felt like I got enough value out of it to see potential in the series. Im looking forward to the next episode, so I suppose that is praise enough.

I enjoyed the artwork and portions of the script, but this game is very short and not very challenging. It was equated to Monkey Island, but is not nearly as long, difficult, or inventive. I hope the next installment is less expensive, longer, and way more challenging.

This is a delightful game but not worth the money. Way to short and simple, only about an hour or two of play. Might be worth it if they dont charge for the next episode but Im certainly not paying again. Time will tell

Its funny and cute,but a tad priceyfor being so short. Im hoping the other episodes will be free updates,or at least get the second episode as a free update. Cant wait to continue the story.

The narrative was very entertaining and Ill definitely purchase the next installment, but the puzzles were very simple and the storyline very brief. The game needs much more quality control, too. For example, when the cyclops examines the hole in the second floor of one of the houses, the label inspecthole1 or the like comes up, instead of what the cyclops is saying. Also, in one attempt to complete the story, I couldnt get out of the first chapter house because there was no dog bone in the cabinet - another attempt left me without a nose in the street on the second chapter. I did compete the chapters with a fresh attempt using Slot2 (you have three slots to save the game). Otherwise, a delicious story that really has been missing from the iOS store and is much needed.

I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next episode. My only complaint is that it was a little short.

The story, hilarious dialog, and style are endearing (ignore the noses from the screen shots, you get use to it). It isnt terribly difficult but that isnt the point. I highly recommend this game the casual sessions of laughs. And Im looking forward to the next episode. For the developer, two things that could be better: theres a touch region thats hard to tap and easy to miss (the mustache) and Im not sure I liked the running sequence.

Its a bit easy but in a good way. Well-crafted and fun- get this right now if you enjoy point and click games with heart. I am eagerly awaiting more

I loved this game! So much fun and it was hilarious! I cant wait for part 2....is there going to be one? And when?!?!?!

Great game; fun and entertaining adventure point-n-click style game. Unfortunately, I encountered a bug in the dark tunnel next to the secret garden. When Bertram walks into the dark and automatically retreats back into the light, the game freezes. The only way to get past this bug is to exit the game or app and to restart it; however, the auto-save feature makes it such that upon reloading the saved game, Bertram already is walking into the dark, and I cant overcome the problem. I now am forced to start an entirely new game. Hope that the developers can fix this; not sure why others havent mentioned this bug.

Witty banter, satisfying plot line (although this installment is a bit short), good game play. Enthusiasts of old school point and click games wont be disappointed.

the siily words, the small details in news papers, everything. simply amazing. if you like mysteries, comedy, and silly story lines you will LOVE this game!! a simply fantastic "point and click" style game!!! and yes!!! it gets you thinking!!!
