The Manhole: Masterpiece App Reviews

Once I saw this on the app store, I had to buy it! I used to play this non-stop when I was a kid on my parents Mac IIci. This brings back so many memories! Thanks for bringing this to the iPhone Cyan!!! I still play this every now and then when I'm in a waiting room etc.

Love this game, wish cosmic osmo were available!

Well I don't have to load my HyperCard... :-) I loved the original Manhole and to have the experience again and share my childhood super-memory with kids that I love is so awesome. I think it is inline with the story games kids are playing now. Excited to spend more time in the Manhole World!! Thank you for giving me this back! And also another vote for Cosmic Osmo!

This was my favorite game growing up. This game is what essentially turned me into a gamer nerd and it even lead me to other great point and click games (i.e. Riven and Myst) when I found it on the App Store I did not hesitate to pay the 2 dollars, and now this game brings a year to my eye as it blasts me back to my whipper-snapper days!

I loved this game as a kid and played it for hours on end! What a joy to have it on a mobile device! Just wandering around and listening to the music is a great way to de-stress and stroll down memory lane!

If you have trouble with the sound, check the toggle switch right next to your volume button. The sound in the game didn't play at all for me until I flipped that switch. This brings back memories :-) One of the first games at ever played, at around age 5. Although I played the black and white version on an old Mac Pro, none of this color / touchscreen fanciness :-)

This is a precessor to MYST, in that u can see its influence on how MYST was made. This is a kids game but still looks like MYST. Haven't played yet but giving five stars cuz cyan deserves the support! Can't wait for Obduction!

Years ago I worked for Broderbund selling our products to retailers and demonstrating them in computer user groups all over the us. I bought this for nostalgia but also to see my kids enjoy this. I love the literary allusions to cs Lewis and Alice in wonderland and the pre myst game play but the exceptional music wins the prize here. This is gorgeously redone with enhance graphics from the cd rom.

I missed this one when I was a kid, but loved Spelunx and Myst. I've had so much fun with this, both by myself and sharing it with my 3 year old daughter, that I genuinely wish there were more games like this! (And, of course, that I could get Spelunx for either iOS or Mac!) Don't pass this one up. It's a true gem!

I am so glad I was thinking of this game the other day and so glad I just downloaded it! Better than I remember and I forgot how whimsical this game was... thank you for bringing this to us in app form! Worth the $1.99!

So excited to be able to play this game again under iOS 11! Thank you, developers, for continuing to support this app!

We had the computer CD as kids so it is a delight to show it to our own kids now.

The first thing my 5 yr old son said about this app: "Mom, this game is stupid. You can't pick up any clues to use later. There aren't any puzzles to figure out... It does nothing!" I gave it a second star, for pity, because I've already introduced him to simpler Myst-like apps, like Mystery Lighthouse, the Lost City, & Cryptic Keep. All of which completely engaged him from start to finish. He has a clever, hungry mind- and this app just wasn't enough of anything to keep his interest. Which do
