Clear rich graphics and good environmental sound effects. Lots of hidden object scenes. Good atmosphere and well paced. On one hand, it's a rather gentle and relaxing game, on the other, it's really exciting. In one small cut scene, involving the captain, I nearly ended up on the ceiling! Great jump scare!

This has a modern feel that makes for smooth, good paced game play while still keeping the flavour of earlier games. In particular, Madame Fate, with a circus/amusement park type setting at one point, and all the characters we know and love popping up in mini games now and again. It even has the old sytle mega puzzles. If you're into the nostalgia of the first few games, this is a must. Lots of fun, atmosphere, decent graphics and sound.
Really like the graphics and the unique little mini games in between the HOS. I enjoyed using the special ability of finding objects written in green ink with the looking glass. I liked the mini game where you put objects in their rightful place in the scene. Nothing was too hard or too easy, It was just right. Objects are quite challenging to find sometimes though.The storyline was good and Shade's voiceover is awesome!

I enjoyed playing this so much, I'm playing it again! I love the lush clear graphics, along with the lovely blending of colours, very easy and pleasurable on the eye. The story is very cute. The animal characters are human like, or else, their human likeness is very much like an animal...whichever way, it works, so a great story line with drawings and journal. In the hidden object scenes, there are objects highlighted blue. Sometimes there's three, sometimes there's five, but only one of these objects are in the scene. You must click on the right blue written word in the list, in order to tick off that object. There's additional objects to find also, but you will work it out as you go along.
The scenes are beautiful, consisting of jewelled pictures/bricks, some of them moving and dancing about! I'm playing the Christmas campaign at the moment, of course, but there are 20 campaigns in this game, comprising of 50 levels,each, so you really get your money's worth. Topics include Animals, Celebrations, Science Fiction and Traditional brick busting. there's something for everyone. The drop bonuses are many, your cup will overfloweth, some levels will go by in seconds, others will take a little longer but you'll get through them quite quickly. Plus, there's an end of level bonus drop to get out of the level when you have three bricks or less left. There's nothing quite so frustrating in some games when you're trying to bust that one brick and it won't let you out unless you do so. I really like the music and atmosphere too, a bit dance club 90's, but it works.
A decent tactical brickbuster with some interesting bonus drops and game play. There are 9 stages in the Adventure part of the game and 100 scenes in the Arcade section.
So much action and excitement in this game at times, that it makes your heart beat so fast, you feel you might have a heart attack. It's very funny, lots of humour. I played in Normal Mode until Level 60 something, and was experiencing difficulty with my one life and all the super fast balls, but I was able to change over to Easy Mode, without losing my place in the game. I also got 8 lives off the bat, so to speak. Then at Level 74, the game ends. You are congratulated and then they say you have won 5 more bonus levels. So you play them and finally, the game is over at Level 79. At any time, if you lose all your lives, start a new game, but don't change player, and you'll get eight lives but won't lose your level place. Great game.
This is one of the hidden gems that I always try to find on Big Fish Games. It's a slightly quirky old school combo, of a time management game and a hidden object game. The time management part is enjoyable but the part I liked best was the hidden object scenes. Now, it's an acting/movie genre, so you're dealing with actors reading scripts, photo shoots, make-up, that kind of thing. There are 28 hidden object scenes. There are four scenes in each themed t.v or movie genre and they alternate with the time management level. The genre's are: Western Stories, High Seas, Oh! My Family (sitcom) Fairy Glade, Star Stories (sci fi), Sport Tales and Jungles Ghost. I like the upgrades and trophies and I really enjoyed getting a trophy for completing the HOS within a certain time limit. There's also a bit of action in the scenes, which was fun.
If you like relaxing games and you want to chill, this is probably not for you but if you like a bit of excitement, the kind that makes your heart beat faster, then you might like this. Not that keen on the graphics, but I liked the music and the atmosphere was good. The first chapter is basically a forest environment and there's ice and fire themes too. There is also sometimes a boss to kill at the end of chapters but not all the time. It's a bit inconsistent in that way. I like that you can break down boulders after time. A lot of brick busting games have obstacles that are indestructable. Nothing seems indestructible here but your ball may take a little time to break down that boulder. I did complete it but I had to repeat some chapters. If you fail a level, you have to go back to the start of that section and play it all again, so a bit frustrating in that sense. You get three lives at the start of each section but have the opportunity to get more in the levels, if you're lucky! Overall, a decent and rather exciting game.
Lovely little game. Very relaxing, but it can also be a little bit boring. I played it twice. The first time, I couldn't buy all the items in the gift shop. The second time I played it, I knuckled down, didn't use one hint for the entire game, or skip one of the puzzles, and yet I still didn't manage to buy all the items in the gift shop. It's a blend between 'Big City Adventure' and the 'Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger' games. I liked the word search games in the puzzle section, but there just wasn't enough of them.
