The Story of Barker Hack 1.0.4 + Redeem Codes

This is the kind of point n click, room escape type of game I love. It has a clean look and puzzles that make sense —

— Right up until the puzzle which is possibly the final puzzle, but I’m not sure, because I can’t get past it (without springing for the premium version, which gives the ability to skip puzzles).

In this puzzle you have to find a 16 number sequence that unlocks a hatch in the deck. It is trial and error. And every time you play, that sequence changes, so no walkthrough is going to help you.

And to make matters worse, you can be, like, 13 numbers into guessing the sequence, only to find out the trail ends and you have to find another starting point to try. It’s an exercise in frustration and futility. Not fun at all.

Fix that puzzle to something that make sense, and I’ll happily give back that 5th star.

I really loved this game! It reminds me a lot of tiny room stories. Amazing graphics and storyline, and I throughly enjoyed all the puzzles! Some reviewers are complaining about the difficulty, but I believe there’s a strategy to be found in all of them, though they were definitely challenging. My only complaint is that i couldn’t (or perhaps couldn’t figure out) how to go back to the front of the ship after I entered the inside, which made it a bit more difficult to solve one of the puzzles because i couldn’t go back and look at the clues. I also wish you could zoom in at times because I sometimes had difficulty finding smaller objects hidden in the rooms. Overall though a fantastic game and I hope this developer makes more!

It was fine. The puzzles were okay - a little frustrating at times, but doable. Some of the puzzle games were pretty tough and it was a bit frustrating that you needed to complete/win to proceed, but nothing that bad. Then, near the end of the game (and I know because I looked at a walk through to make sure I was doing it right) I reached one of the last puzzles. It was a puzzle to lead to the last door and the puzzle was a literal “guess the button sequence.” So, okay, I start that, but after getting four buttons in, the sequence ends. I tried literally every possible button after those first four and none of them worked. I even recorded the screen and reviewed to make sure there was no way and I was right - I have no way to proceed. I know this puzzle is random per user, I know I was close to the end, but it’s horribly aggravating to think that I was close to the end and yet I can’t beat it due to no fault of my own.

I really liked this game. The puzzles are challenging but not too hard. I’ve read a few reviews of people who say the puzzles are way too hard and take hours or you have to pay to get through them, but I finished this game in probably about 50 min. The last puzzle is a pattern remembering game and it took me a few tries to realize that the pattern will still work even if you don’t start with the first one so it appears at one point like the puzzle is broken and there are no moves left, but in reality you just started with the wrong one. Over all I think this was a really fun game and a good way to spend an hour when you’re bored.

Started out fun, but immediately some puzzles cannot be finished unless you spend hours upon hours getting frustrated and annoyed, or if you pay for free hints/answers. Paying for the answer to the puzzle takes the fun out of it and having puzzles that are basically impossible right away without spending money is insane. I’ve spent an entire day on the 3rd room just to end up deleting the app because I’m not spending money on answers and I’m not gonna sit on the same puzzle for days. Was hoping for something fun out of this game as I enjoy many puzzle games but this one has too many issues, small details the average eye cannot see, and it starts out way too difficult. Not everyone is an amazing puzzle solver and it’s quite off putting when you barely start the storyline and can’t even finish it. They also somehow delete bad reviews.

The story was simple but tied the game together nicely and made sense (unlike a lot of puzzle games). Unfortunately the puzzles are mainly brute force or algorithm based such as: lights out, mastermind, towers of hanoi, a sliding puzzle, remember a path. That brought down the game a bit for me as I wanted something a bit more involved and not just something that padded out the game time. A fee translation issues but they don't detract from the game and if they needed some help I'd be happy to give them some. Overall 4-4.5 stars and cool concept. Hope to see what the developers make next.

Had a fun time with this game and enjoyed the story line. Though some of the puzzles aren’t logic based and are more trial and error it didn’t detract too much from the game. None of the puzzles are overly difficult and can all be solved without the need for hints, though some can be a little time consuming. Wasn’t the most deep thinking/expansive puzzle game I’ve played but fantastic for a free mobile game on the AppStore.

Really enjoyed this puzzle game. A lot of puzzle games and mystery games are just too easy to figure out. So I really enjoyed this puzzle game. I like that it’s time consuming and you have to really think to get through the story and puzzles. I wish the game was longer but I’m sure the creators are in the process of making even more cool games for us.

This game is really amazing. The storyline is very cool and I love how it goes full circle. The gameplay is really fun, however the ending was very difficult. Even so, when you manage to figure it out, you feel unstoppable! It really is an amazing game. Truly recommend!

Some of the puzzles take just a little too much time and become frustrating. Also, some important items that you need to find are very small and are hard to both see and click on. Game play is smooth though and the twist is fun.
