Brain food for logic-lover adventurers
Definitely NOT a children's game. Folks thinking so either didn't play much past tutorial or are geniuses.
Game is logic-based, seriously creative & requires outside-the-box thinking to achieve success at the tasks. It's a heck of a lot of fun for anyone who enjoys brain twisters/puzzles.
Game's design/concept is like what we'd expect to find in terms of word/logic puzzles in a high-end CE.
Graphics are attractive for what they represent: cardboard cutouts.
I've been at it 4 hours already, absolutely loving it. Likewise any old school adventure gamers, puzzler lovers or players wanting a fun yet brain-challenging (thinky) game, should give this a try.
*Play the whole demo.* Game difficulty definitely ramps up past tutorial as player progresses through the chapters.

Wonderful Logic Puzzle Game!
Cardboard Castle is a logic puzzle game wherein you must correctly perform sequences of events on each level that allow the knight to complete his quest.
There are 3 chapters with 5 levels each, then a 4th chapter where you race against the clock. Each Chapter and level gets progressively more difficult. There are hints available for purchase with coins you must find, plus trophies you can earn.
This game is not at all a child's game. The graphics are cardboard cutouts, but the logic and keen observation required to get through the levels can be very perplexing.
The total game time for me, using no hints, was 5.5 hours and I really enjoyed it. It was a whimsical and fun experience that left me sad when it ended. Hoping to see more from this developer. Great job, Bulkypix!

Movement difficult
I'm sad as the art is adorable. It would be a fantastic game except for one thing. The movement within the panel. Unlike most games where you click and drag to see side to side, this game follows your cursor. I found this very difficult to play and got frustrated.
I still recommend it as this may not be a problem for others and it seems like a fun brain teaser game.

Wanted to love it...but
I so wanted to love this game! It's adorable. But, as someone else stated in their review, the in-game controls are terrible. When you try to look around, it gets stuck. The hints system is pretty bad, too. It only gives you the easier parts of the hint, with no way to get the full answer. If these bugs could be worked out, it would be totally awesome!

serious movement issues
I was so looking forward to this game after watching the preview! I loved the cardboard graphics and the logic puzzle-style of gameplay was right up my alley. I thought I'd just buy it right out, but I'm glad I tried it out first! The only thing I couldn't stand about this game was the movement controls - they STINK! You have to click-and-drag and the cursor constantly gets stuck, so you click madly to free it and end up clicking something you didn't mean to - it's frustrating! It's so disappointing...this would've been one of my favourite games if not for the motion control. Why couldn't they have given you the option of using the arrow keys to move the screen instead??? Despite that, I still recommend this game - perhaps others won't find the movement issues as much of a problem, and the gameplay, graphics and music are adorable!

Good game, but it made me sick
This is a cool strategy/puzzle game. I wish I could play it, but it made me so motion sick that I had to quit.

Not very exciting
I thought this game sounding very interesting and was arleady thinking about buying it when I downloaded it to try. Glad I downloaded it to try first. If you are an experienced game player skip this. It was slow moving and not very challanging. The hints are usless. While I was still in the hour trial I was already into the more advanced sections and got stuck. The hints where two things I had already figured out and had nothing to do with where I was stuck. They were a waste of coins. I didn't buy this.

Lots of Fun
This game is a fun experience! The "cardboard" art work is cute. It's a logic puzzle game and we all had great fun playing it with no problems. A good break from hidden object and other adventure games.

Different
A 1 dimension game to save a princess. Graphics were pretty good, if you like games made out of cardboard, I think the idea is ok and I like to play different types of games but not sure about this one.
I couldn't get past the 2nd level, when I used hints it gave me hints for the parts I had already completed, would be a fun if you had nothing else to do but I wouldn't pay money for it.

Interesting Concept
Interesting concept for an adventure game. It's more like a thinking game, but it plays like a child's game. Not very advanced. Still fun, though.
