The instructions are not really clear on this one. In this game, you have to combine elements to create new elements. To start with, it's fairly easy, for instance combine earth and water to make swamp etc. The game quickly became boring as not all the combinations are obvious or even vaguely what you think they might be so you just end up trying them all. This can be mind-numbingly repetetive and tedious. There are hints to help and you can buy more with coins you earn in extremely basic hidden object scenes (only available after you have discovered so many elements) I couldn't see where this game was going and I quickly grew bored of the combining elements and hidden object aspects. Maybe it gets better if you can stand it past half an hour. I couldn't and I have no regrets.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't mind a challenging game but this was too strange and lacked any obvious answers as to what to do. The only instructions are some diagrams when you press the ? button. I managed to struggle through a couple of screens before realising that I was just clicking on everything to see if anything happened and that's not how I like to play. Graphics were ok and the music was bearable but gameplay for me is somewhat lacking. I think this one could have been good if there were more instructions at the start (how to lift the pencil sharpener for one) Give it a try, you may understand the cryptograms better than me.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is exactly like m.k.f.t.p. only not quite as good somehow. It's by the same developers which begs the question, why put out another game the same as one you already have but don't bother to make any improvements or add to the gameplay, just change the characters and the story. Worse yet they haven't even got rid of the annoyance of not being able to queue your tasks. It was ok for an hour but I wouldn't waste my money or credits on it as I have played all the m.k.f.t.p. series to death and with no additions or improvements, I can't really see the point of this one at all.
I don't recommend this game.

Yuk, sluggish controls and depressingly tedious game play! Pick items off a conveyor to complete a suitcase for a waiting airline passenger. I only managed the first two levels (and I love tm games) before giving up in disgust. The graphics weren't that great, the mouse seemed to move at a different rate to the onscreen cursor and the game play was just awful. I would not even recommend this to die hard tm fans and if you're new to tm, avoid this one it will put you off for life!
I don't recommend this game.

Loved, loved, loved this one and was so disappointed when my hour was up. This game has everything, beautifully rendered graphics, haunting music (if you've played any Haunted Legends before, you will recognize it) Interactive HO scenes and zombies. The puzzles were a mix of ones you've seen before and a couple of new ones and varied in difficulty. The hint button recharges relatively quickly (Casual setting) I didn't come across a map but you don't need one as you pass into different areas only after completing the one you are in.The story, while nothing really new, is still captivating (it's the old curse thing again lol) I will definitely be purchasing this one and cannot recommend it highly enough.
I recommend this game!

The first thing that stuck me about this game was the grainy graphics and the use of colours. (not my cup of tea at all, in fact they were a little off putting) It's a standard HO storyline, you play the keeper of the amulet that will transport you to another world to save it from Lord whoever. The Ho scenes are interactive which surprised me as looking at the graphics I wasn't expecting it to be that advanced. The music is just in the background and no more annoying than usual. Puzzles are simple and nothing new I played this one for around half an hour before deciding that although it's not a terrible game, I needed it to be more captivating somehow to get past the fact that the graphics aren't great. Ok for your free hour maybe if you have nothing else to do.
I don't recommend this game.

A bit of frantic mouse waving and clicking as you try to chop the good fish into pieces for sushi, watch out for the green smelly fish though. I quite enjoyed this one for a while and was quite happy to try, try again. After 15 minutes or so though it does get a little repetitive. This is one of those games that you can leave installed and keep going back to, maybe while you're waiting for another to download. There are two game play modes available when you first install (I'm assuming the other is available for a price) The only difference being the difficulty (I didn't last too long on sushi master) If you've got an iphone or similar you will have come across an app with the same sort of play (it's a lot harder with a mouse though) Worth a good half hour of entertainment and with some replay value. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

When I first loaded this game, I was disappointed with the lack of instruction and the slow animation scenes (which I always skip) I decided to persevere and found a screen explaining how to play. It still took a couple of fails at the first level before I worked out what to do. Once I had worked it out, the game became a pleasant change from my usual type (HO's and TM's) and was challenging enough to keep me interested. Those of you who have played Ho games will have come across this type of puzzle before. You have to roll your armadillos across a board to destroy ants and land on coloured crosses to plant dynamite. You have to land the right coloured dillo on the right coloured cross - there are obstacles that help or hinder and you get some power ups to remove them. This is definitely a strategy game as you only have a few armadillos and have to work out the sequence in which to use them. The graphics were great, the dillos endearing and the music was ok too. This one is definitely worth a go and like me you may end up hooked.
I recommend this game!

Story: You revisit your childhood home to find it run down and dilapidated and decide to fix it up. The first levels are set in an amusement park where you serve customers with drinks and ice creams to earn money for upgrades and opening new rides. It sounds great but sadly didn't live up to expectations, it's by no means a bad game but it just wasn't captivating enough to continue past the free hour. Upgrades were pretty boring and didn't really add to the game play and were too easy to come by. Opening new rides makes no difference as you earn no money from them. I have no idea if the game play improves on the next levels as I didn't get to them in the hour trial but for once I was not disappointed when the hour ended and had no desire to carry on. The graphics weren't very good and the voices of the characters were standard old school TM. Even if you love TM (which I do) you will probably still get bored with this one.
I don't recommend this game.

You know the game play is going to be seriously lacking. I do admit to having tried this one despite the reviews - never again. The reviews are generally on the money. Instructions on what to do were vague at best on this one, I found myself just frantically clicking and speeding through levels without really knowing how, I couldn't even work out what my objectives were. I did however love the music and sound (reminded me of spongebob) and the graphics were nice and crisp too. I found myself playing on despite not knowing what I was doing as there was something quite appealing about the franticness of it all but it didn't last beyond 15 minutes when I suddenly realised I was going trigger crazy with the mouse to no apparent end.
I don't recommend this game.
