Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist in IOS

★★★★★ App Store Editors’ Notes

★★★★★ The master artist

First, this game is well worth the money! If you are creative and like free painting/drawing, get the game! It doesn’t disappoint! I rarely write reviews. Developers, However, I am in the master artist act and like to use the painting for when I stress. I already did all I could in the game and purchased everything for my studio. The problem I am having is the game doesn’t like to work most the time. I launch it hoping that this will be the time it does work. I click on the slot, it will change from the music to the beach sound but the curtain doesn’t open. I have tried restarting my phone, turning airplane mode on and off. Uninstalling then reinstalling, but nothing works. If there is something I can do please let me know. I am on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Phenomenal game though! It was upgraded from the original in the best and most beautiful way! Outdid yourself on that! Thank you.

★★★★★ Amazing game with a few issues

I purchased the full version and have been enjoying the game immensely. It’s so unique and unlike anything else I’ve played. The graphics and creativity are top notch and I love that I can play at my own pace with no fear of dying and having to start over. I do have a few issues that prevent me from being able to leave 5 stars. Here they are: 1. I’m currently stuck and could use better instruction on what to do next. I’m supposed to go east and deliver a sword to craven hall, but I have no idea where this is. I’ve wandered around forever and talked to everyone multiple times, but can’t progress any further. I’m starting to think maybe this is a bug. 2. Every bit of written text in the game is way too small to read. The names, street signs, signs the characters hold up, etc… I can’t read any of it and there’s no zoom ability. I’m playing on iPhone 15 Pro max. 3. The game has frozen on me several times, always when trying to talk to the girl on the beach. I have to close the app and relaunch when this happens. 4. The ability to walk faster would be great. Moving around in the game gets tedious.

★★★★★ Buy for $7.00, Free Demonstration

App is free to download but full game must be bought within app. Play is only for a few minutes. The demo is short. Basically, your character has to sell paintings>gain income>stop being homeless. In the demo, I was evicted (the start of the game), talked to three characters, sold a few paintings (honestly, just scribble whatever and it will sell…), and bought a table. That was the end of the demo. Not enough interaction to hook me, to want to purchase. I turn off sounds for games immediately, so I cannot say whether the music assisted/ruined the ambiance of the game, but I know that some apps do not have the option to silence, so that Setting is one delight from the demo. If you purchase the game, you have to complete three maths equations before it will let you submit the payment. Their version of a CAPTCHA, it seems. Prove yourself. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Can’t rate it more because I haven’t been immersed in it to know more about the gameplay and characters. Seems this is the second version. I have not played the first version. If you like the first, perhaps you will like this second as well. IDK.

★★★★★ Such a sleeper

This game threw me off at first but it’s so well done. They did an exceptional job at making the whole thing feel like an art piece in itself as a whole and I love the quirky characters and story lines. All I can say is MORE! I’m hoping this app does well with others too so that the company can sink some $$$ into making their next iteration an absolute masterpiece with more npc interaction and more artistic freedom. Would also be cool to tag or make your own stickers. Maybe give us two story lines to adventure on so we get more authentic play throughs. Thanks for your hard work! Definitely download this game! It’s worth the full version too.

★★★★★ Fun, but with one MAJOR flaw…

This PC port is such a fun game, especially with iPads being their own drawing tablets, BUT the reason for 3/5 stars is because of a very lazy and broken implementation of rotating your artworks! There’s a button to seemingly rotate your work from landscape to portrait, but instead it tells you to rotate your device itself, but when you do it rotates the entire game instead of rotating the canvas itself (facepalm) so you end up playing the game horizontally while playing it in portrait mode, which makes absolutely no sense! A simple fix with that would make it almost perfect, and maybe having an option to run it at 60fps would make the game 5/5 stars. Please devs!

★★★★★ Buggy.. boring.. frustrating.. not fun..

On iPad there's bugs where the 3D stuff and so many paint canvases are flipped the wrong way I waited to see if they would fix they never did... The game starts cute & fun but you soon learn your stuff u make doesn't matter, you need set colors, set pallets, set style even to the point u need to spend loads of time in a thing.. Like it's just throw set colors on to please set people it can look like trash they don't care long as it's all the color or time or style they want got to the point I couldn't pass things even drawing unique stuff to then have to google how to get passed this character .. Like that's not fun ... It's all like predetermined they don't care what u make only set colors, set designs set time u spent in it like this isn't fun .. It's just another game bought & wasted I plan to delete ...

★★★★★ Issues with Purchasing the Full Version

I’ve tried the demo and let’s just say the experience was very enjoyable. From the sounds, vibe, and the little interactions with the characters, I would’ve loved to buy the full version if I didn’t had an issue. Upon trying to pass the puzzle before purchasing, the white boxes were all blank so I’m unsure of where to drag the boxes to in the first place. I really hope this issue could be fixed (by either adding something to the white boxes or making the puzzle easier) so I can enjoy the full experience.
