Great game, overheats your phone
Wed Apr 24 2024 justgiveinCrookhaven is one of the better games I’ve played from this developer. The sequence of the scenes are easy to remember, the puzzles are interesting and intuitive, and there are bits of humor thrown in as well. The photorealistic character portraits are excellent and add to the quality of the game. The only downside is that after a while, my iPhone 15 pro max starts to get really hot and I feel like I need to stop playing the game to let it cool down before continuing. Other than this quirk, the game is great and I hope to see more like this in the future.
Most disappointing of the set
Tue Jun 04 2024 DhehhreI’ve been a big fan of fire maple games for years, ever since I found Lost City. But I have to say I’m the most disappointed in this one of all of them. The AI art was very obvious and did not capture the feeling of the art style of the previous games. Using AI art combined with the fact that this is the most expensive game fire maple has released yet is a combination I was not happy about. In terms of gameplay, I found the “puzzles” in this one lacking, too many were just fetch quests for npcs. The map is very large and while that seems like it would be a good thing, many scenes had nothing interactive and existed only to lengthen the walk between other important scenes. I spent an annoying amount of time walking back and forth between the same two npcs ferrying messages. If the creator reads this, please take it as constructive criticism. I love fire maple games and want to play more in the future, but not if they are like this one. The AI art took away the charm of the other games and the map and story felt like they were packed with filler to make the game play longer. I hope the next game from fire maple doesn’t repeat these trends.
Another great one from Fire Maple
Fri Nov 22 2024 SayrahI always look forward to new games by Fire Maple. I have all the ones they’ve made, both under their old name in the app store and this LLC name. I recommend all of them! If you want a chill puzzle solving game with fun art and music that makes it worth unmuting your phone to play, you can’t go wrong with this newest game. I think it has a bit more content than some of their older games, probably on par with the last few. Enough that it took me several sittings to complete, but I am super busy and don’t play for more than an hour at a time.
Tip for fun: make sure to examine all the movie posters in the theater that you can; some of the fake movie posters and supertitle game commentary on them was quite fun!
Ai art and lesser gameplay
Wed Jun 05 2024 Bubbles293I’ve loved all the fire maple games that have come out. However, I noticed immediately that this game used Ai art. I know Ai can be easier and faster to use and get new games out, but it doesn’t look as good and the charm is lost. As well, Ai art is theft. There are currently not regulations and Ai has been stealing from artists without their consent. So if this keeps up I cannot support any future games. I hope in the future the games go back to their charming style and fun gameplay.
Which brings me to the gameplay: I felt as though the gameplay was not as good as the other games and there was more “fetch” quests than puzzles and some of the puzzles as well just felt slightly less intuitive.
Anyway I hope future games get back at what I loved about the old games while still give us a new an exciting game!
If you love The Goonies, you’ll love the world of Crookhaven!
Mon Feb 05 2024 thembakerboysI admit to being a fan of Firemaple games going all the way back to their first game, Lost City. Firemaple games always strike the perfect balance of peaceful exploration, compelling stories, and not-too-hard puzzle solving.
Crookhaven has the player exploring a seaside town to solve an ancient mystery and find a lost Pirate treasure.
If you like The Goonies, then you’ll find lots to love in this charming adventure game. The artwork and animation are beautiful and every scene is crafted with care and attention.
It’s one of those games you’ll play over and over again to experience the locations, puzzles and colorful characters.
Work of Art
Sat Jun 22 2024 elliot333This game is a work of art! This is a point and click adventure that has its own special character and feel to it. You get a great feeling when you find a unique, unusual object and u then figure out this is the object needed for the puzzle that has been previously unsolvable. I’ve played a ton of point and click adventures on ios, fire maple games are alwaysat the top…. this game had a good length and challenge… i needed one hint because i was stuck for days on it… i just hope fire maple keeps making more games!!!!!!! no one makes them quite like fire maple!!!!
Fire maple does it again.
Sun Feb 25 2024 otjhfjtdnutvjyThis is fire maple’s eighth game. I played all of the others. And I waited for a year or two for them to release a new game. This game is about how you solve the secret of the hiding place of the treasure. I won’t give too much away… this game has more characters to interact with then all of the other fire maple game’s characters combined! Definitely worth five dollars. If you haven’t played the other fire maple games then you should definitely try the other ones. And if you have played the other games then congrats on finding this one.
Another winner!
Tue Feb 27 2024 CBoogie214I didn’t realize this was coming out so soon and was thrilled when my daughter noticed the ads for it while playing another Fire Maple game. Point and click adventures were always my favorite (grew up in the 80s-90s), and these are by far the best of the genre. Gorgeous graphics, no bugs encountered, fun objects to find and utilize, and another great adventure/mystery. I love that my 1st grade daughter can read now and play/solve the game as well (with a bit of help from me). Please keep don’t ever stop creating, Joe! Thanks for another zinger!
Fire Maple Is Simply the Best
Sun Feb 11 2024 gladstone73I’ve spent hours searching for point and click games as beautiful and entertaining as Fire Maple games. They just don’t exist. Other games are glitchy, have poor artwork, or are overly complicated. I play these games to relax. I want a little bit of challenge in a calming environment. I don’t need zombies or jump scares! If you’re looking for a game to rush through, this isn’t the one. Enjoy the gameplay and graphics. It’s a long time between Fire Maple games so take your time!
Not even average
Fri Mar 28 2025 KimjeonunThis game is one of the worst game from Fire Maple.
I have played games from Fire Maple from a very young age. They brought me with very sweet memories. But this one, contains way much AI-generated figures and images, embarrassing conversation and plots. Meanwhile, the puzzle designing is lame. Whether the puzzle is way easier or just too abstract for normal people to make their mind come to that specific way. It’s good to seeing the game introduce “time” element, but the creativity doesnt get exert to the level it should be. Devs need to have more bravery actions.
Anyway, the 2 stars only for the fire maple brand. For the game itself, deserves a solid 1.
