I have had a couple of crashes but not enough to really annoy me. The only issue I have with the game is the inconsistent controls to navigate. Sometimes just a tap is enough to change screens, but sometimes you need a double tap or a swipe. It does get a little annoying when you try to back away from a painting but instead enter the painting. But all in al, it's just a minor quibble with a great game.

True.... BUT.. I turned on the arrows and that solved that problem for me.

Yeah, I found the arrows do help. I just don't like the way they look on the screen.

Games look good but ... Control sucks like he'll. Plus it allows for mistakes that a nit reversible and it does not have state save. That means .... Make a mistake and you need to restart.
Also slow loadings, no logic in puzzle sequence. Art is often stretched up as ported from another platform.

I regret buying it. It is just unpolished nit really enjoyable. Avoid!

I have to disagree strongly with this comment. It's not a perfect game, no game is, but I certainly would not tell anyone to avoid it. I had no problems with the controls, the art looks just fine to me, and the whole point of the game is that it is somewhat non-linear; the puzzles can be done in different order, and it still will be fine. The important thing is to fulfill the end goal.

Maybe you need to give this another try, it's quite a good game, and I look forward to the sequel coming out for the iPad soon.

Well if tapping ten time on an arrow to change scene or using swiping control and getting always errors is fine ... Than go ahead. Also the game is like a random collection of puzzles and in some cases an error means restarting the game entirely.

Sure looks really good. Sounds good ... And I was excited about it .... Not any more. There are way better similar games out there also from big fish.

I have to admit that pushing the arrows was of,
BUT i got that in other games too lately. I need to move my finger like .5 cm higher / 0.2 inch higher.

Recallibrate your screen, and problem is fixed.

I have to agree with others that this was a good game. I picked it up when it first came out, and played right through. I only had one crash. The arrows were a bit of a pain, but nothing too terrible.

And which puzzle forced you to restart? I didn't have any problems with the puzzles, and none of them led me to the point of having to restart the game. I can't even imagine how the puzzles would have resulted in that. But that sucks if that did happen to you.

Well, if you forget a teddy bear ... You need to restart. And this is what is annoying ... There no logical reason why we need to pick this bear. And this is only the first, in game time, as example.
I am playing it again and ... Yes many puzzles are nice. But many have simply no reason to be. Anyway, matter of taste I guess.

UPDATE: it even suffers huge lags now and crashes aways at the same spot forcing restarting. The show. Deleted.
