This is a new and unusual game and I liked it. Cross between breakout and bubble breaker with a little badminton thrown in.
I must say, this is an intense game and you better have your game face on because this will throw you for a loop if you aren't careful.
The bonus' available are nice and useful except for the growing ball, I wasn't fond of that one and the double ball and the force field were probably the best.
I don't know if I like this enough to use a credit on it but I will finish the demo at least.
This is a definite recommendation for the fun factor if nothing else.
Play the demo but don't pull your hair out in frustration. There is a relaxed mode.
Have fun!

I like TM games if they are well written, have great graphics and keep me interested. This one had 2 out of 3 of those. I lost interest about half way through the demo.
I'm not saying it was a bad TM just that it wasn't the type I like. Graphics were good and story line is easy to follow and the characters fit right in but it started to intensify to early.
I recommend this game for TMers who are into this type but I prefer the characters running back and forth clearing obstacles etc.
Play the demo and decide for yourself.
Have fun!

I have played some Nancy Drew before and this game confirmed why I have never bought any.
At first I jumped right into it and was immediately put off by the fact you can't completely skip conversations. You can sort of fast forward but not skip and this, to me, wastes time.
Graphics, although nicely drawn, are some of the most boring I've seen in awhile. And there is not much color at all even in the daylight scenes.
Exited out but came back later and tried the tutorial. Maybe I missed something. I did. One of the dumbest tutorials I have ever seen. C'mon, a talking stuffed Teddy? That was no help whatsoever when you are trying to learn a game.
I completely gave up on this one and will uninstall as soon as I'm done here.
Needless to say, I don't recommend this one at all but play the demo and decide for yourself.

I have other jigsaws by 8floor games, Alice's Patchwork and Frozen Patchworks, and I have played them many times. This game would fit right in. It isn't REALLY a jigsaw it's more of a fill in the spaces. The pictures on this one are really different in that they are on the darker side but it is based loosely on the grimmer Alice movie.
Graphics are good and game play is tricky. So many of the pieces look similar that it's easy to drop it in the wrong spot and either lose that check or start over.
So far I've played in the timed mode but there is a relaxed mode also which I would switch to as the puzzles progress and become more difficult.
I recommend this one especially if you have played the two I mentioned and I think you'll like it.
Play the demo first and decide and remember, despite it's name, it isn't really a jigsaw in the traditional sense.
Have fun!

I like TM games if they are drawn well and they have nice objectives. This one has both and I enjoyed the demo. Of course, it is your typical TM game in that you have to clear obstacles and complete certain tasks but there are so many of these games that fall short. This is not one of them.
Characters are typical cartoon figures but are nicer than most and I like the little grunts and noises they make in the game including the 'vicious' animals that have to be removed. Very entertaining on the comical side.
Graphics are pleasant to look at and colors are bright.
This is a fast paced game with 2 modes-normal (timed) and relaxed. I usually play these in the relaxed mode unless I'm familiar with the game such as Royal Envoy.
I highly recommend this one for the TM lovers out there. You won't be disappointed.

I have nothing good to say about this one. The story is not up to par and doesn't follow any logical path and the characters add nothing.
The constant back and forth between realms drove me crazy. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in these games-the fact that they think this back and forth is fun. Spoiler alert! It's not! That is one of the main reasons I won't buy a game. Even if the game is perfect in every other aspect, the back and forth for no reason will kill it.
Graphics to me were not on the level they should be and need brighter colors.
The HO's and mini games weren't that challenging and most were annoying.

The only prank in this game is getting anyone to play it. This has to be one of the most ridiculous games on Big Fish. You hop all over (pun intended-frogs) and rescue all these frogs to what end. I played the demo and got nowhere extremely fast.
Sure some of the 5 stars said it was "fun" but their definition of fun is different from mine.
Graphics are ok but not great.
Frog voices (?) are only annoying and not cute and those guys have been around forever.
Unless you are bored to death, you've fixed everything in the house. the cars are washed and the lawn mowed then this might be for you. Otherwise I recommend go play something else.
At least try the demo, you might like it.
Have fun!

When I first started the demo I thought, "This is one lame game". The little girl who is spirit napped was so cartoony that I almost laughed out loud and then the way the story progressed was almost kid like.
However, once I got into it, I loved the simplicity of the game and the fact you aren't running to kingdom come and back over and over to complete anything. The HO's add just the right amount of challenge and help the story continue.
The only creepy thing in this whole game is the entity that kidnapped the girl. Everything and everyone else is on the comical side, even your little ghoul helper.
This is a definite recommendation from me but I still think you should play the demo first to make sure it's what you want.
It's on my buy list.

This game caught my attention from the beginning. He (finally, a male lead) picks up a girl hitchhiker and takes her to her town where he drops her off. However, she forgot her Teddy Bear and he goes back only to find out she has vanished and thus his quest begins.
Everything in this game, although tedious and time consuming at times, brings everything else together.
The graphics are dark and on the average side but there is good detail.
HO's are fun but, as another reviewer noted, there need to be some puzzles and mini games thrown in for change and drama. And, as was also noted, the hint button needs faster recharge speed.
Overall, I enjoyed the demo and would like to play the complete game. Going to play the SE version too just for comparison purposes.
This is a recommendation game and will go on my future buy list.
Play the demo and see for yourself.

Started out fairly well but soon fell far short of a great game. The story was not easy to follow because he kept seeing all those "spirits" and no explanation. Oh, wait, you have to watch the opening cut scene to understand. Nah...I'd rather take the extra minutes and play the game.
These were some of the worse graphics I have seen in a while. Very grainy and hard to follow.
And what about those HO's? you walk 3 steps, do a HO, go back 2-3 scenes and repeat and repeat. Boring! I want a HO that actually helps me progress in the game. Oh, and another thing, I would like to be able to see what I'm looking for. These were horribly drawn.
Usually I enjoy HO's but not this one. I am not a fan of dark drawn games and ones that don't let me progress.
I am at a loss where all the 5 star ratings came from, maybe they like mindless games.
Sorry, can't recommend this one but play the demo anyway and decide for yourself.
