OK, so played through episode 4 & 5, and I was a little disappointed in the end of 5… the culprit seemed to be in direct conflict to what one of the early puzzles shows… I’ll have to replay it and see if I just missed it somehow, but I don’t quite see how the timing worked out.

My husband and I really loved the first episodes and are looking forward to finishing off the season. The game is quite directed (no exploring like most adventure games), but has just enough depth and difficulty to make a player feel smart when they reach the a-ha moment in both the individual puzzles and the overall plot.

If I had to give any feedback for the next season, it would be to improve the level of detail. The train, some of the shrubs, and a few other things in the first episode are framed close to the camera and look really bad. I can appreciate not having the time /budget to render the inside of every unopened cabinet, etc, but when things are pushed in on they should be decently detailed.

Keep up the great work!

My wife and I played through the first three episodes in one evening and really enjoyed ourselves. I noticed two themes as I played through the first half of the game: murder and ducks. If the finale reveals that ducks are behind it all, I will stand and applaud. Other than suspicious ducks, the chief of police (I can’t remember his name or title) is also on my watch list.

My wife and I are excited to play the last three episodes; I requested a review voucher, but if I don’t get one soon, my wife said she’s just going to buy it! I wouldn’t hold it against her – we found the first game to be a lot of fun and full of charm; the characters and humor have us hooked and we can’t wait to play it again.

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so much – the team will be really happy to hear this tomorrow as well (it’s 10pm UK time, the rest of the team is probably getting their beauty sleep :)).

We’d really like to make more Blue Toad as well! Can’t wait to hear what you think of Episodes 4-6. Post back on here or our forum (http://www.bluetoadmurderfiles.co.uk/forums/) so we can pick it up.

Great job on the game guys, its clever, hilarious, everything a game like this should be. I hope there are plans to keep the series going after this!
