Hi Fishies, This is not a new game. I purchased it from Yahoo back in 2015. That might explain some of the seemingly old style looks of it. Yes it is timed, however a player can replay until getting it right. The replays have most of the same items as the failed game so you can finish it faster and win that level. I do not know if there are more parts to this game, as I do not use Yahoo Games anymore. Yes it is different but isn't that the fun of it?

WOW! I had to restart the game with a new profile as there was something wrong about 15 minutes in. It was like the game did not load all the way. The biggest problem with this game is that it is very slow between scenes. I had to click the Esc button all through the game to make it move. I liked the storyline and there were lots of easy fun mini games. It was short but the loading issue made it seem longer. This game could use some more work.
This is an unusual game true. I like the hide and seek of it. It is one of those where a walkthru is a great thing. I found one on the net (I am not allowed to say where) but you can enter the game name in a searcher and there will be sites. I prefer a paper helper than Youtube and there is a text/Image walkthru. It will take a while to download before you can print be patient. This is a great game and you don't want to miss it. This game is also on PS3 and Xbox maybe that is why there is no save they use memory cards.
I know that this may seem lame, but if it is the first time a person/child ever played this type game, it would be just what they need to learn the game as it is not an easy game. The only thing I am not crazy about is that the puzzles are not in multiples of 5. I will buy this game because it will be relaxing to me.
I love this series, but this time something was missing. One thing is it was soooo short. It got a bit confusing and left me wondering if I went to the wrong scene. Also the art work was different, Elf was washed out. I hope the bonus chapter is better. Even though it was not that great, I would not have missed Elf.
I was so disappointed. There are so few spacer games I was hoping... I do not classify this type game as interactive, there was no one to interact with except voices. The graphics were juvenile at best. If I want to read a story I'll get a book.
