CRIMO Stories: Puzzle & Crime for Android

I liked the game when I first started playing. In fact I’m still on the first criminal investigation. I honestly don’t care for the language. So I don’t know how amazing or dreadful this game is. It did start out amazing. Maybe censor the words. I have kids that look over my shoulders occasionally when I play these games. I myself really don’t care for profanity. But most are unbothered. This is just not the game for me. I was going to give a 2 star rating but it isn’t fair to you because of my preference so I’ll give a 4 star because I actually enjoyed it while I had it.

Not having drugs or alcohol in your system doesn’t rule out accidental death. Having a head wound and drowning isn’t necessarily murder. One could very feasibly slip, hit their head, falling unconscious into water and then drown. Otherwise it’s cute and fun. Enjoying it thus far.

I saw this on the ad and I like mystery or murder things so I gave it a try. The ads aren’t bad at all. And the game has a great storyline and fun & challenging puzzles. This was a big win for me. Excellent graphics. I can’t say enough good things. I really hope that they come out with many more cases because this game is really fun. I was just so surprise how well this game is executed. Please do not stop!

It’s clear how much love was put into this game, it’s such a joy to play through! I love nonograms, and it is nice to have a monogram game that plays to an overall story (especially one that is interesting!) I also love the “pulls” with the collections of photos which provide more “mini levels” so that the gameplay doesn’t end with each story (which understandably, they don’t have many of and they seem to take a while between releases). This keeps you involved and is a great addition. I still rate this game 5 stars because while I do find some things I would love to change, it’s a nice change of pace to see a mobile game that seems to care about the product they are putting out. That being said, I would love to make a few suggestions as someone who is not a professional and has no idea how this stuff works. 1) I would love if you had a gamepad control option for the bigger levels. I play on my phone and some of the hard difficulty levels get so small that I can fail a level not by making actual logical mistakes, but by accidentally tapping the wrong spot. On that note, I don’t mind the “lives,” but I would love a toggle for them as often I’ll lose one just because I’m moving too fast. Maybe a “zen mode”? 2) I have played quite a few other nonogram games that have a feature where it shades numbers as you complete them, instead of waiting for the whole row/column to be done. I find this really helps (again on the biggest levels especially) to keep track of what you have gotten done in each row and what you actually still need. These apps only do it when the spots on the sides are actually filled with blocks or “cones”. I don’t know how well I could explain but No^2gram is the one that comes to mind with this feature. It just helps with the overall quality of life! 3) This is probably just me but— I cannot figure out what the coins are supposed to do. I was hoping they would help me get more pulls (I have completed all stories on all difficulties so I have to wait for my daily pulls unless I want to spend real money) but I can’t use them for that, nor can I trade them for diamonds. When I have a plethora of coins and no way to use them that I know of, it’s a little frustrating. I would just like maybe more explanation on what they are for and maybe some more options for what you can use them for. Anyway, that’s all! This is a great game and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes puzzles, mysteries, and are tired of games that have no heart and have ads every 5 seconds.

This is just like watching a show like Law and Order. There is a cast of characters and they laugh and joke with each other as the story unfolds. You progress through each scene by solving a Nonogram puzzle. I also play the original CRIMO game which is also Nonograms but finding clues to analyze without the storyline. Now, they I unlocked the ‘no ad’ option, my review is 5 stars.
