Community Insight:
Love it theres so many things to do & find its awesome only bad part is u have to purchase to play the whole game.
We mean seriously, he had it coming. We think we actually cheered. Ok, we wont spoil any more of the story. We really enjoyed the fresh Indiana-Jones-meets-Robin-Hood take on Jack and the Beanstalk. Map needs a warp feature though. There are only so many times you can backtrack through the same scenes before it starts getting tedious. Thanks for the stories, guys.
!!!!yay!!!beautiful graphics and really great story and puzzles.
We love hidden object adventure games and this is one of our favorites. It is challenging and creative in its story line. Two great qualities in a game of this type.
Good game to play it could be better than the other then people says it was.
We're honestly not sure why others gave this game bad reviews. We loved it! One of our favorite HO games yet. The settings were great, the story wasn't too far fetched, there actually was a plot. The music was by far the best! Our husband kept thinking we were watching a new Harry Potter movie. Sometimes we'd turn on the game just to listen to the music. The game itself was a bit less challenging than the other Dark Parables, but it was still fun to play. We'll be happy to see the next one out soon.
The game was great like the twist of game.
The story was great! We liked that they used caricatures from other dark parables. Colorful and a pleasure to play. Keep doing those dark parables.
We loved game very much so much fun to play.
We love ever series and can't wait for the next one! Please here for the next one.
We were so excited that another dark parables game came out. They're all so fun. Can't wait till another one finally gets put in the App Store.
Even though the story line was fairly short we still loved the graphics and as always the story line flowed very well. Our only plea is not to make us wait a year for the next installment and please consider making it a little longer. For the 2.99$ it was still very much worth it. Thank you for another amazing adventure.
We love this game! Unique puzzles, awesome graphics. Our only suggestion is to add a custom control option in addition to the 3 offered. We always want the hint buttons to charge faster and have seen this custom option on a couple of other games.
Although this one seemed a bit shorter and easier than the rest of the Dark Parables series, it was entertaining. There were no glitches (something that has been an issue with many of BF games for us) and the mini games were different & a nice change of pace. Can't wait for the next one.
We're totally a fan of Blue Tea Games and the Dark Parable series!! Love the artwork, music, and fun games. Elipix is also a good developer of fun games. Please do Rapunzel or other fairy tale games!! Maybe a sequel to Red Riding Hood., Snow Queen, or Sleeping Beauty.
We love all of the dark parable games can't wait for another one to come out.
The only negative is Jack's accent. This has a good story and was fun to play.
We love the new versions of classic stories and we wouldn't miss a Dark Parable for anything! This one was shorter than we had hoped but beautifully made and well thought out. We only give four stars instead of five as it is easily beatable within just a couple hours but well worth the money. We are looking forward to the next story in the series.
love the hop games! Great so far.
Good game. We feel it is short game. We like longer game. More challenge.
Storyline is okay, scenes are colorful and the sounds are soothing.
Love the Dark Parables games!! Very interesting. The only thing we have against this free trial is that the free trial for the computer is longer!! You actually see inside Jack's house and find out more about the story in the computer free trial!! All in all, Dark Parables has done it again and we CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!! BALLAD OF RAPUNZEL HERE we COME.
This game was way too short for the cost of the game.
As a hidden object/mystery game aficionado, we have been a loyal customer of Big Fish Games for some time now. We have blindly spent hundreds of dollars for full versions of their apps. While the games do vary in quality, until now they've been invariably above the bar. This game… Well, it's dropped the ball. There was next to no entertainment value re: storyline, the game was painfully easy (we finished in approximately two hours), and the animation and gameplay responsiveness harkened back to the apps they were putting out 4-5 years ago. What happened, guys? We hate saying it, but we sincerely regret shelling out money for this game. We usually pay for BFG apps without a second thought, but this game has convinced us to be more discerning in the future. TL;DR don't consider paying for this one. Don't even bother downloading it. It's REALLY not worth it.
So u want us to RATE THIS…Ill have to give it one star since youve asked for our opinion WITHOUT even offering the option of Later. Come on guys…THINK, and NEVER ANNOY your customers. We really hope the game gets better.
We don't usually give a review but (since we had extra time)…the reason we had soooo much extra time was because this game is soooo short. It would be considered "bonus content" if the game lasted longer than a few hours. Furthermore, the bonus content was about an extra chapter…soooo, that took like 15 minutes lol it's laughable. Maybe for 1.99…MAYBE but, it was 2.99 & (including the "bonus") it barely lasted as long as their old games, that were only @300mb…stop thinking about your pockets, big fish…you'll end up without consumers. The game was good, as usual, btw, just 1/3 of the amount of gameplay.
Not a bad start. After some game play you have to pay to continue. They can pay $3 for extra stars.
Followers, Just terrible in all aspects! Not going to waste time in any kind of review due to the fact that this game stinks in every aspect! Only one star because we are giving Big Fish & the developer the gumption for having the nerve to release such an awful game, but with a big "SHAME ON YOU" at the same time, mind you! Thank you for all your continued support. ~Kamen Rider.
