I'm supposed to decrypt a message, however I'm having a hard time finding what kind of cipher is being used. Anyone any ideas from the image attached?

I'd guess that it's just a simple symbol-replacement code. Find the most common symbol. It probably represents either "T" or "E." Work your way out from there.
I tried plugging it into cryptoquip solvers too, and got no meaningful results back. Here was my ascii version of the encoded message: ab bcdefag hbci jfiig dklfmfg
What language would the answer likely be in?
I have solved it.
MAALCHEMYSALTGETTYCODEKEY
It looks like either an anagram or it's a sentence stuck together.
the last parts read CODE KEY.
BTW the cipher is called Bionicle
Looks more like a password.
In any case, there are actually spaces between the symbols.So your result string can be have spaces in between the individual words that compose it. It will check out with the spaces on the cypher. Those spaces can be simple fillers just for display and not be a part of the password, tough. Which is likely, since this looks like a horse battery password. (Or to be replaced with a symbol of their own like a dash or an hash symbol).
I couldn't find anything about this bionic cypher and you don't provide a link. But if this is indeed a simple substitution cypher as your result suggests, I wonder why the others couldn't find a probable outcome on their programs...
*slow clap/face palm*
How on earth did you find this information?
I used this http://practicalcryptography.com/med...simplesub_2.py
It probably would have (If I had the patience), but I think it has got something to with the quadgram statistics I used, that ranked the words in this message way lower.
no, its called a simple substitution cypher. The font may be called bionicle.
abachler & Mario F. in the same thread after a long time. *Goes out of the basement to buy popcorn*
Welcome back, abachler! Long time, no C.
