Community Insight:
Love Big Fish games This was challenging and a lot of fun.
We're finding this game not only interesting but a challenge. Enjoying the differences the puzzles are done. Creative. Again, we thank Big Fish for the opportunity to try new games out before we purchase.
The ending of the game sucked! Expected more of a bang for our buck so to speak. Graphics were good, game played well with no glitches, could have been a little longer in game length.
Interesting story. Loved 10 second skip.
Got this game on sale for $2.99. Okay game. Story was choppy and ended abruptly, so we deducted a star. HO games and puzzles were fine. There are better BF games out there.
We enjoyed this game but couldnt figure out the directions of a couple of games.
…except we would have liked to play more. Finished the entire story in a few hours.
Challenging puzzles, more so than most. Creative storyline.
And graphics are good. The only problem we had was the mini puzzles but that was a major problem. The instructions were piss poor or thpuzzles were glitchy. Hard to tell the difference but we had to skip most. A major let down for us but thats just us. Enjoyable except for that.
Some interesting twists on the standard HO scene format, including one we've never seen anywhere before (all items morphing). Awfully short game play for the price, though, and abrupt ending.
We found this game challenging for two reasons: some of the puzzles were complex, and it was rather difficult to figure out what you were supposed to do. Just as we thought we were getting a grip on it, the trial version was over. We found it difficult to locate instructions for puzzles, too. Was there a map? We don't know. We didn't see it. What about the hint? That seemed okay, but, at least once we found it, too, confusing. There were too many cut scenes for our liking. And we prefer a list of items to find in the HO scenes. This game had every kind of HO scene BUT the list. It had the find the shape, find the pieces, find a certain number of items….but no list.
We purchased this game for $2.99 and Im glad we didnt pay full price. The story line was hard to follow and made absolutely no sense, and the abrupt ending made it worse. Nothing was explained or tied up. Now, the HOPs were a nightmare, with the vague instruction and most were much too hard to complete. When we play a game we dont expect to skip all the HOPs because we cant figure out what Im supposed to do. The game itself had no cohesiveness and we found ourselves using the hint button entirely too much. All in all there are much better games out there, we wouldnt waste time with this one.
You released this game already!we paid for this game when it first came out in March.2016! Pay once,play forever!Ha!Want a refund of $4.99!sneeky.BS.
