I thought that Elephant had not been up to their usual standards lately but this game sure put them back in the top slot!! Everything was great! I loved the different HOS - they were varied and a lot of fun. The storyline flowed from start to finish in a smooth pattern. I agree with all the other 5 Star reviews by others. I hope Elephant keeps this going! If they do, then I will keep buying!
I recommend this game!

This game is basically finding matches in either pairs or threes among a pile of stuff. The games are all timed. Most won't let you skip the game if you don't find all the pairs/threes within the allotted time. You just have to keep playing the same one over and over and over! Perhaps some of you would enjoy this type of game but it simply was not the type of game I enjoy. Try it, you may like it, but it is not a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the first time that I can remember playing a game by this developer and I have been a long time member of BFG. My review is based on the demo only. I, like the prior reviewer, was pleasantly surprised by the variations in the HOS. The objects were not hidden so deep in the scene that you could not find them and the hint charged quickly if you needed it. I consider myself an expert and I enjoyed the vast variations in each HOS. I also enjoyed the mini games as well as they were also not the normal run of the mill. There is a jump map which shows you where you have something to do. The scenery was nice but not exceptional in detail. I liked the simplicity of it. Since the game is on a 'special' I am definitely going to buy. According to the information listed there is also a bonus game, which is very rare on a SE version of a game.
I think all who buy will enjoy the relaxed pace that I have seen so far and I can't wait to finish the entire game!
I recommend this game!

This is the first time I have purchased a game from this developer and I must say I was very surprised! I could hardly stop playing. I got so into the game I did not want to stop! I wish we could pull games on BF according to developers as I would certainly purchase more from them. I have bought many, many games and this one was a true joy! I look forward to any sequel they may do on this one and buy it immediately!
I recommend this game!

While the graphics were beautiful and the music was fitting I must be spoiled. I agree with others who stated they did not like playing the game without a map. It was hard sometimes trying to figure out what to do next! Had to use the hint button too much to figure out where to go. I played the demo and bought the game however wish I hadn't as there is too much going back and forth trying to figure out what to do. I lost interest and not sure I will complete the game, even though I already bought it. Wish I had read more reviews prior to buying. If you don't mind not having a map I am sure you will like the game as there are quite a few positive points however as stated prior guess I am just used to having one.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the Beta version when it came out. I was anxious to see when the full version would be coming out. The demo is only 30 min so basing my view on beta and demo. The graphics are beautiful. So far the story line is easy to follow. There is a interactive map that lets you jump and shows where you have something to do. The HOS are varied in types. Some straight hidden objects and some you have to find one thing to apply to another and some are shapes. Great variety. You can also customize your playing level. I knew when I played the beta that I would be buying when the game came out and glad it is on sale this weekend! I don't think you will be disappointed if you buy this one!
I recommend this game!

This developer did an outstanding job from start to finish! Review based on demo only - there wasn't anything I did not love about this game - from the beautiful scenery, music, storyline to characters! This is an immediate buy for me! There is an interactive map,that I am always glad to see, objects to collect, more than one type, and there is not a whole lot of going back and forth. The music fits the story beautifully and the graphics are absolutely outstanding. Gotta go, can't wait to download the full game and keep playing! PS: you just gotta love that scarecrow!
I recommend this game!

Only played the demo - said had 90 min to play but did not last even an hour on demo time so basing review on that. Visuals were very nicely done - sound seemed to be much of the same played over and over. Did not get far into the game as demo time not long enough to judge but seemed like a good one. There are morphing objects to find, HOS are not hard and are crisp. Has jump map to go back and forth with. Does not appear to be a hard game to follow but as stated prior very short demo. Have to think about this one for buying based on limited play. Seems like it would be a good one. Game seemed to hesitate some but it could have been my system. Slow to respond sometimes. I generally like this developer so most likely will buy - especially since it is on sale this weekend! Can only say to try the demo and see for yourself.

I bought this as one of my 'two for the price of one' deal. While I truly enjoyed the game and the graphics were beautiful, I was disappointed in the length of the game. It was about the same length of a SE game, even with the bonus chapter. The voiceovers were nicely done and the music was pleasant but I wish the game was longer and more in depth. If I had known the game was going to be so short I would have waited until the SE came out and have bought it then as in my opinion this would not be worth paying the extra money for. It is a lovely game and I am sure anyone who plays it will enjoy it as well. I am giving it 4 stars for the short length.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are good, had to stop playing 20 min into the game. While there is an interactive map to take you places it offers no other benefits - does not tell you where you have things to do which means a LOT of going back and forth and back and forth. That is something I hate to do. The map is basically useless. I had hoped to like this game and would have purchased it if the map was more useful. If you are going to give us a map at least make it useful! If you have a great memory for where you have to go and don't mind going back and forth a lot then it might be the game for you.
I don't recommend this game.
