Ratings and reviews

This game is quite fun, the game is too short, and it really doesn't have much to do after you beat it. It has a few missing sprites for scenarios (devil refused by the witch I believe). a good puzzle game for long car rides or something. Also I would imagine a "sandbox" mode would be nice, adding and deleting frames, all of the characters, scenarios, etc. available, although I would imagine it would take a while to make sprites for that. The phone optimization is bad, lagging bad to flip pages.

Honestly this is one of if not the best games I've played on mobile, the only complaints I have is that you need to connect a netflix account which was a little annoying but nothing really bad, and I also think they could've done more with the jester stories. I don't really know but it just felt like a random extra title for the badge stamps, I think it could have been some kind of second devil, but that also might just be hard to implement or meaningless especially since the 2 overlap sometimes

The update has a few sprites that are unaccounted for so they appear as purple/magenta squares. There's also a level that has more than one solution, but only one specific scenario counts (ghost wife causes Edgar to fall off a cliff by himself). I also thought it was more fun to try and figure out which level will give you a stamp rather than the game telling you which level, but maybe that wasn't a popular opinion
