Mystery Box: Hidden Secrets

I'm finding that I’m having to get help on some because there are some buttons that are missing in the game (for example, I just had to look at the walk through for the wooden box because I could not figure out how to move the round pieces; turns out the walkthrough had buttons not shown in game). It's not the first time finding missing components that the walkthrough had, or had differently than what is shown. The game is pretty. There is no storyline, though. The boxes, once you understand the general premise, are fairly simple to solve. Would like more challenges, additional layers, and more parts to discover, then use later, etc. It's a good start; it feels like a college kid’s first try at this type of game design.

Bought the “Premium pack” for all four games thinking less money and easier to move through games. WRONG. Finished first set and when I got to the second set could only play first two boxes then wants me to pay $4.99 to keep playing! Tried to “Restore Purchase” but just has the screen blink on and off. On a good note, I contacted support and they promptly replied, twice, but after showing them the problem they said it was an Apple Store problem (within the app??). Said if they (Apple) charged me they would refund on PayPal. Ok but what happens on the third set, then the fourth…. What a pain. Repeat and request refund wait and track. Repeat. What a pain. The game is ok and nice time waster. Nothing too deep. I want to keep playing and would not give 1 star except for the restore purchase problem. Another issue is that the game does not remember your progress (except completed ones). If you start a box and are part way through and stop you need to start all over. Also does not even translate that over to a different device, start all over for all. Used to be games connected through Apple and always remember but not here. They said the last two games of the series do have a “memory” of progress but not the first two. Seems like they would fix that. Not sure what I am going to do for this second set just don’t want to pay and wait for a “ refund”. Especially to have to repeat that for two more. Frustrated.

I really like this type of game and bought the premium pack after the first level. However, some of the hints are missing and there doesn’t seem to be any way to make them show up. I click on hint and nothing happens. I go to a different level and it works. Then another level and it won’t work. Very frustrating.
