This game is differently not lovely. The coloring is black, white and red. I think I can handle this type every once and a while but I like lovely more. Didn't like the mini-games at all.
I did like the collectible comic page and twisted X that is for a puzzle piece. I missed several of these and used Expedition room to find them so I could read the comic book and put together a jigsaw. It's a bit harder to use the Expedition room this time because there is no hint. You have to exit the Expedition room and check the Strategy guide if you just can't find it the second time. The symbols for the two collectibles are in the Expedition room and they are either muted or high lighted then you press set to be taken to that scene to look for the missing item.
I choose the comic book on the right first in the game and everything was off. The guide was off and the collectibles were too. Like two comic pages to read and then they filled in on the next page.
I usually like Elephants Achievements but this one left me underwhelmed. I like things materializing. This one was boring.
The Archives has 13 hops and 13 mg. Secret room has a jigsaw puzzle. Has 4 music tracks, 6 wallpapers and one screensaver.
First off I liked the game. It has No Map and No Collectible. I could go any where in any scenes that I unlocked. You find hops to do in back scenes. The hops has lists and interactive ones. Seems to have plenty hops. Some puzzles took a while to get going. It's long but not too long.
All the magical animals disappeared from the zoo. I play the princess who does all the sleuthing. You feed four magical animals that you liberate and they give you things. Despite not having a map, I didn't have trouble getting around.
Bonus Chapter- Check out the change in the Panther.
Has 5 chapters + bonus. Replay 13 hops, 15 videos, 18 mini-games and 5 music. Has 6 wallpapers, 16 concept arts and 4 screensavers.
I think I liked the mystery and the twists. Never did find out the cause or the beginning of it. Only 3 chapters + bonus. Loved the Expedition Room. I missed a puzzle piece and I picked it up in the end thru the Expedition room.
Collected 12 character dummies and 48 puzzle pieces that I put together 4 jigsaw that I could use for screensavers. Replays on 13 Hops, 13 mini-games and 5 music. Nice Achievements. Secret Room has 61 morphs to find in 4 rooms. 5 wallpapers only the maker would love.
I liked the beginning. Then it just lingered on. I hate the hops penalty. You click around to find things and it has a pendulum that swings and you have to wait. Hate that the achievement banner stays on a long time. Like it's irritated that you don't click on it. Just these two things lowered my enjoyment.
Nice wallpaper. I like the scenes without characters and it has some. Has 4 chapters + bonus. Has 28 videos, 18 hops, 5 music and 18 mini-games. Has 21 wallpapers and 21 concept art. 70 clam with pearl to buy things for a underwater room. 15 Morphing Flowers and 15 Harper's stuff. Like the flowers, don't care about Harper's stuff. Like the underwater room.
Easy going relaxing game. It has 3 portals and I started on the wrong one (the right) and it still worked out but I was off on the guide. It has a helper one of the Yulemen I thought it was a nice touch. I Loved the game. The 3 chapters + bonus was not too long or too short.
Nice extras. The Secret Room has 61 morphs to find in 4 rooms. The expedition room allows you to go back and get any collectible that you missed. Found 13 joke like cards and 48 puzzle pieces. I put together 4 puzzles. Replays on 14 hops, 5 music and 13 mini-games. I only liked 2 mini-games the first and the twelfth. Has 5 wallpaper that only the creator would love. No nice scenes only.
I really liked the 15 cards that say how Christmas is celebrated around the world. Also the 15 morphing Christmas items was well presented. Boudoir decorating a train car.
The hops had Christmas dinner from other countries and Gingerbread town. The mini-games I liked was the pin ball arcade machine, rabbit hole, toy piano, toy factory , dollhouse and target. I wasn't happy with the interactive hop Elf Tavern because when above toolbar it didn't say what a item was so not connecting what to do. Very irritating. I liked the interactive scenes. Try touching the arch outside of the square.
With 7 chapters + bonus a lot of my time was fetching, placing and fixing. It got tiresome after a while. Just too much to do, hence the 3 stars.
Replay 25 videos, 18 hops, 19 mini-games and 5 music.
All last winter I played all the Christmas Wonderland's. I think they have all new scenes. The house this year has many windows indoor. This year's scenes have a few where they are used more than once. Like one will have just a HO scene and they use the scene again for a riddle HO or you place things in the correct places. I didn't mind as this is also different.
I like getting the CE and this year it has 8 extra scenes and they have the puzzles in between that only the CE have. All of the CE extras scenes are in the center of the game. They say CE in the upper left hand corner of the picture you click on to continue. It has 16 photos to take, 18 wallpapers. Some of the wallpapers are the best scenes from past game, like the greenhouse. The wallpapers are really nice and I have been changing them after a few days. They have extra puzzles not in game play that you can replay that are from past games. They are nice.
There are 30 total scenes. I collected Gold Angels and Lost and Found items. Has Advent Calendar, Things to buy. I thought most jigsaw were too hard. I like them easier. Mom and Dad are thicker but hey they are older. I still like them. I know I see a heavy couple in other Casual Arts games and I wonder if it's the kids from here or mom and dad. So many nice scenes I couldn't pick a favorite in the first play so will have to play again.
This game came out August 2016 and I just got to it. I really miss Eipix with all they offered in a game. This game like their others have some nice things. You can go back and pick up a collectible you miss. You can replay hops until you receive a gold star and they have souvenirs to find at the end of the bonus chapter so you can revisit their wonderful scenes. They have morphs in select hops. I am amazed when I find something and it opens up to something else. Some of their ways is so clever.
I didn't like most of the puzzles. I love the hops. Especially the hops with the morphs. There are 7 hops without morphs. Most of them mini-hops. I wasn't big on the gadget that is 2 fold where you find 4 hidden symbols in the scene with a viewer and then had to match corners and place them. After so many I got better at the match corners and didn't want to bother with the hidden symbols. I loved the rest of the game.
Replay 13 Video, 12 Hops, 9 Music and 24 puzzles. Has 6 chapters + bonus, wallpapers, skipping stones which is like a match 3 but you pull a line thru them and Achievements. I found 12 Morphs in the Hops, 42 Harps and 25 Souvenirs.
Creepy game. A woman wakes up in the hospital with amnesia in Illinois. Her husband brings her home to their farm house. She starts finding things that aren't adding up. Thriller.
I liked the hops and some are used more than once. Nine hops has Morphs and 11 don't. Didn't like most puzzles. Liked the Souvenirs and finding the Creepy Dolls and if you miss one you can go back and get it.
Has 4 chapters + bonus, 20 Souvenirs, 35 Creepy Dolls, 9 Morphs in the Hops, Alt hop (match 3), 8 concept art, 8 wallpapers and Achievements. Replay 8 Videos, 9 hops, 10 music and 12 puzzles.
The 7 screensavers have movement in most of them. Two have different views of the Eiffel Tower. One has a flowing fountain. I really like them.
I liked that I had to do something before a hops appeared. I only liked one mini-game and that was clicking all spaces without repeat. Didn't like the bonus mini-game of rotating circles. Would have preferred a hops.
I liked the 3 facts about Paris when you started the game and I played over several days. Couldn't sit all that long. I liked most hops and some are used more than once. Some morphs were too hard to find and I was thinking they are hidden objects not time consuming hidden objects. Some morphs took too long to change until I noticed to just find a light bulb and then wait for it to change. My replay movies didn't unlock until I finished the bonus chapter. I could have used a reminder of what was going on with the movie replays since I played over different days.
Bonus Chapter your at the Louvre.
Collect 24 ghost sheets and 24 morphing bulbs. Has 7 screensavers, 9 wallpapers and 7 concept art. Replay 17 hops, 29 movies, 8 music and 12 mini-games.
