The demo was disappointing, I felt a zoo should have animated animals and characters. The game has an assortment of collectibles, puzzle pieces, secret room, shop, achievements. The strategy guide holds your general tips, solutions were clearly listed, but I didn't like it. Cannot use map unless you purchase full version of game.
Earn gold badges for HOP with no misclicks. Bronze, silver, gold paws earn coins for shopping. Custom Mode wasn't all that easy. The variety of HOP styles were all a good challenge. The task list takes a very long time to complete with find and place items, do this to get that. Hard to grab and place pieces in the mini game puzzles.
Graphics are really pretty, nice and big but still hard to find items. If you find a magnifier, click it to get your puzzle piece collectible. The game has lots to keep you occupied. HOPs and games can be replayed from progress screen.
I was uncomfortable playing this game, don't know why, but just didn't enjoy it. But it will probably be great fun for others with the zoo theme. It seems to be a worthwhile CE.
And this is a glorious day! I survived my second hurricane. But my cats are still hiding in the closet!

I'm disabled and home alone with my 2 cats, for now, praying and playing this new adventure as Hurricane Idalia is upon us. Yep, it's scary! But it's a great distraction, so let's get started.
As always the graphics and color are excellent. I love the artwork. The HOs are again a super challenge. The zoom is wonderful and I use it often, can't do without it. Moving the screen left to right is another necessary feature. Finding the magnifier and collectible is usually the hardest for me. It's a different collectible in each level. I like the way the HO list works. Even though most everything is big, they aren't always easy to find. All levels can be replayed.
This is a really fun, challenging game for me as were Mr. Fox's previous games. It's a long one as he covers the whole city on his quest to prove his innocence. Or will Victor Raven get his revenge?!
The demo never seems long enough for Montgomery Fox adventures. Quality entertainment and no CE price. Works for me!
I recommend this game!
Get ready for another round of good, clean fun!

as you remove trash and straighten askew items, clean up dirty areas. There are tools to help with chores in some scenes. You can move the screen left to right. Also enlarge the scene with scroll. Easy, Medium, Hard modes. Hard has a very long hint recharge. When you need a hand a chubby one appears as your hint and points out your item.
Nice graphics, cheery colors. I love the artwork. Everything is big, nothing teeny hiding in the dark. Yet the items aren't always so easy to spot. Zoom areas pop up unexpectedly. 3 misclicks pause the game briefly. You can skip an entire level. One gold star is earned for each completed level and earned even if you skip. An indicator bar shows your progress in each scene while you clean. Beth was there with her on-going tutorials.I played 3 mini HO games in the demo. List, Silhouettes, Scrambled Words. A tiny challenge but fun.
I actually had to skip 2 levels being unable to find the tool I needed. also unable to pick up the brush and spray in a third one. So I either messed up somehow or these are glitches. The demo was fun regardless but I never got to use the stars, whatever their purpose I'm sorry I missed it. The CE might just have the bonus chapter mentioned in the synopsis. I saw no indication of anything else at the start of the game. So if purchasing, I think the SE would suit me just fine.
I recommend this game!

Graphium is a quality developer. I do own several of their puzzle collections and really enjoy them. But I don't think this set is a good representation of Freedom, few of the puzzles appealed to me.
The categories suggest something less than what I found regarding subject matter. Color and graphics were good but I felt variety wasn't that great. In "Power" were a van in a desert, the backside of a woman and horse, feet and skateboard, someone standing in the desert.
There were rocks, plant sprouts, a bad aerial shot, chairs, van interior, fishing pole, houses. Nothing special to make me eager to assemble or maybe hang on a wall. But there were some very nice images, too. I realize I'm very picky and others will love what I don't. But even at that I think these puzzles were not a good representation of freedom.
For those who love this series these puzzles will likely please you. The features as always are very helpful, the variety of piece shapes and puzzle sizes are fun and can change your level of challenge. And it's always great finding what you like without the CE price.
I recommend this game!

but life goes on! Nature Escapes 4 seems to be just like the others in the series. The graphics are good and the locations are a decent variety. The game is challenging, for me, because the outdoor scenery is usually dark and the objects get lost in the background. It is a tedious search. There's lots of browns and greens, not enough bright spots to help expose the HOs.
I do like the garden plants and flowers for the color and different varities. The mini-games have little appeal but are an okay break from the HOs. I think the SE would be the best choice, as the extra locations and games fall short of making the CE a good value.
Boomzap is in a rut with too much of a good thing. They are a really fine developer who produces quality games,, even if they don't appeal to everyone. They did not deserve the scathing review recently of a "nothing new" game. The name- calling and insolent remarks are petty, in my opinion. If you hate these games so much and never play them, find one you love!
I recommend this game!

This is a fun little game. Very cute and different. It looks easy on the surface but I'm finding it to be a nice challenge. I decided not to play much of the demo so I would have more game left to play later, but my short demo time was smooth and free of glitches, and delightful.
Though there aren't many levels I think the game will give enough time and enjoyment to make it a worthwhile purchase. Especially with today's sale!
I recommend this game!

Arrived very late. The images have improved a little for Hello, Summer as far as subject matter is concerned, but I believe the images are still too juvenile. Too many similarities in the pics in each of the categories. The last category is dedicated solely to fruits and veggies which is a turn-off for me. I never like food pics in any form of art or puzzle games.
Each level is very time consuming with an enormous amount of cells to fill in and the features are very helpful. I relied heavily, as in every demo, on the Zoom and Sewing Machine. The numbered spools of colored thread is a great idea. Better than the usual scrolling palette. The stitches are a fun difference, too. Colors are still on the bland side.
For me the work is too tedious and the images aren't appealing enough, not being designed very much for adult coloring entertainment. It's a nice color by numbers for anyone who enjoys simple pics and who appreciate the very long time it takes to complete them.
I recommend this game!

Try to earn 3 stars without losing patience, that's the real challenge here. Amongst the clutter are hidden a Raccoon, Silhoutte Item and Lost Item. There are items that require additional action, such as an air pump to inflate a tire. The scenes are too dark, the graphics are not good and it's very hard to recognize just about everything you need to find.
For those of us who don't have keen eyesight the blue words on the list pose a slight problem. Items are small and some are mislabeled which adds another unwelcomed challenge. You can't hurry through this game with such dark scenes which are on the edge of being blurry. Even the zoom zones are a problem. Had to skip the demo mini-game, for me it was just un-doable.
I would suggest passing this game up unless you have super sharp vision and you love frustration.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm glad the SE is finally here. I enjoyed the CE demo but sometimes budget makes me wait. Some of the HOPs were too dark and small items were hard to recognize. Puzzles were lots of fun. I hope the game is light on the tasks, not many in the demo.
The cat themed story and spirit cats attracted me to the game, however I don't like them portrayed as evil or menacing, even if they are ghosts. The Egyptian history also interests me. The graphics are really pretty and the scenes are interesting, lots of things to catch your eye. Characters are well done.
I think the game, coming from Grandma, will not be disappointing and will provide a few hours of fun, and the cats should make it more enjoyable, at least for me.
I recommend this game!

If the full game is anything like the demo I wouldn't be jumping with joy. I would venture to say it's just like all the other Domini games, just more of it. I was again faced with too many time-wasting tasks. Once I reached the castle it was more of the same.
Hops were varied styles that all took time. Items were small, hard to distinguish against dark, sometimes fuzzy backgrounds. The puzzles were really good, liked them all, easy and hard modes. Match 3 game is the same as always. The usual number of collectibles, sun emblems stuck out like a sore thumb. The gold star was a bad idea, like we can't figure out the right decision ourselves!?
Graphics not so great this time, some locations seemed blurred or fuzzy, icy scenery was uninteresting. My demo time ended with too few accomplishments, I was not at all impressed with anything and feel the game decription was overly hyped up. Domini still is not, imo, the glorious, wonderful dev that its biggest fan makes it out to be.
If the game improves after the demo, that's a wonderful thing for devoted Domini fans. For me it's just another boring task mission rather than a fun adventure.
