Played the easiest level for the quick hints benefit.
My observations are below, but recommend using the trial to see if you like it, before buying.
I could very easily notice the LOVE with which this wonderful game was crafted, for our enjoyment!
Expertise of the developers is evident in the all-round excellence of the game.
Items to find are very clear, match the clues very well and because of the non-cluttered scenes, are a pleasure to look for.
40 wonderful levels packed with beautiful graphics - peaceful, gorgeous beach scenes, bar with decorated overhead lights, fine dining with stunning ambiances etc. Calming, soothing and delightful!
Many, many different types of mini-games in between.
Some mini games you can SKIP after about 89 seconds.
Some you have to complete to pass, but 15 sec hints and very pleasant scenes, pleasurable to admire, help get past the level fast and enjoyably.
Some games have hints every 7 secs in Easy Mode.
BONUS MINI GAMES if you collect all pearls:
7 types of games are unlocked - Jigsaw, Word Search, Spot the Differences, Sudoku, Memory, Match 3 and Mahjong.
UNLIMITED MODE if you collect all dolphins:
20 levels, but each level is long, without dolphins or pearls, enjoyable, beautiful, with similar scenes to the main game.
"Find similar objects" game (find two same items): admirable for the ingenuity, e.g. a half apple, the other item is a whole apple. A scrubbing brush, the one you find could be paint brush etc.
Many thanks, much respect and appreciation to the developers and to Bigfish Games who so efficiently get these games to us!
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW for enjoyment of this lovely game!

Storyline
5/ 5
- 180 levels
- Use esc to exit, then click red cross to leave game
- Left top circle/s shows what you need to catch
- Right top is timer
- Seems slow until you make money to buy upgrades
- Level 4 gives free triple hook for fast money collection
- Can go back to level 4, 17, 46 or other easy levels to collect money
- Careful not to accidentally click four bottom circles while fishing. Will eat up precious upgrade money!
- No "start new profile." But I completely uninstalled. Reinstalled after about 24 hours for a clean new game.
- What helped:
* first buy faster rod
* next buy knife (3 available) each knife increases money earned each level which helps greatly. The knives seem to serve no other purpose.
* Faster rods next, then hooks (3 useful ones available)
* Found I could enjoy game with blue motorboat 14 km/hr so did not have to spend unnecessary money on boats.
- There are awesome treasure chests all over where one can get lots of money for upgrades, to enjoy game better.
Strongly suggest having at least 1000 coins when you go in to each treasure chest, for buying 1) the triple hook 2) lures along the way for more time to get more coins!!!
- Aquarium seems just for fun - does not seem to add anything to main game
Thoroughly enjoying this game over and over and wish everyone lots of enjoyment with it too!
Many, MANY thanks to Bigfishgames and developer of this game and other lovely games I have enjoyed over and over again at this very awesome gamesite.
Much respect and appreciation to all who get these games to me!

LOTS of different ways to enjoy this game - was able to choose different kinds of hidden object ways to finish a new screen e.g. abc clues, ? clues i.e. the name of the thing to find is given pretty accurately etc.
VERY colorful, so it is a joy to look at e.g. Japanese Garden, Beach scenes and others are lovely!
The nicest thing for me, was that "hints" are easily available, at least at the EASY level. So I did not get stuck.
I own lots of HO games and this is one of the topmost for its really lovely scenery, ease of play and all-round pleasantness.
Thanks very much to the developers as well as BigFish!
Forget those long-winded stories and dive right into the HO scenes you love! 100% Hidden Objects gives you complete control over your gaming experience.
Many beautiful scenes available in two different modes.
Easy to make enough "money" so one is not stuck on any level, by re-playing a scene one is familiar with. So, great that one cannot get stuck in the middle of the game.
Also, can skip levels very easily.
Replayable value is tremendous!
I found items very accurate e.g. a vanilla bean looks like a vanilla bean.
No penalty for multiple wrong clicks except if you click WAY too fast then it docks a few secs.
Very challenging to get all 3 stars.
I own plenty of HO games but found this one of the very best!
Much gratitude and respect to all who got this game to me!

Amazing game !!
Great value. Very re-playable for simple but very enjoyable fun!
Very bright, colorful clear graphics and happy characters, making it appear like a very pleasant fairground.
Challenging, in that if you play carelessly and miss pea shots at balloons, cakes at faces that pop up, or punching at clowns that pop up, too many times, you lose a life.
Be VERY careful not to lose lives as they are difficult to re-earn (showing you how to re-earn them below). Try to re-earn back lives lost asap because I do not yet know what happens if you lose all five.
Three levels of challenge, but I found all to be more or less the same, difficulty-wise.
There are three lives to start with. Then you earn tokens playing the games (you can go back and re-play simpler levels to get more tokens).
For 200 tokens in the first few levels till about level 32, you can visit the smashing saucer tent and, VERY CAREFULLY, click items you want e.g. hearts, for a life.
After level 32 or thereabouts, you need 300 tokens to play the smashing saucer tent.
The smashing saucer tent is SO much fun & challenging - the best part of the game, I think.
If you click enough hearts in one smashing saucer tent session, you earn a life.
Try to click the hour-glasses in the smashing saucer tent for extra seconds there.
All levels of the main game are fun.
If you aim correctly, tokens, game tickets and other good stuff fall from above immediately after you click properly a lot, which you can collect for smashing saucer plays, tickets for mini-games, little items that help play a level faster, etc.
Among the best things to collect in the smashing tent, are hearts (if you need a life), blue gloves (which when you are in the clowns section, you simply right mouse click once or space bar, for all the clowns to get punched at once, no matter how many there are on screen at the time).
This excellent play using these features, drops lots of more tokens, game tickets etc.
Also in the smashing tent, you can collect if available, pipes that work like the gloves above - space bar or right-click to use one and it blows up all balloons on screen getting you very fast progress toward the end and even dropping gifts from above sometimes.
At the saucer tent, I always go for the hearts first, if I need a life; I also aim for hour-glasses for more time, and all the "super-shoots" which help you scan over once and for all, all balloons on screen without repeat clicks.
The blue gloves and the pipes (not blow pipes but the other) give good rewards in the games.
There are also three MINI GAMES for which you need tickets which drop when playing main game levels, when you click correctly consistently.
Each mini-game is lovely fun in its own way. And you get rewards if you win each game.
Rewards are different, even for the same game, every time e.g. super-shoots etc.
One mini-game is where you seek and smash three or more types of objects to keep the levels down. Have to do this fast or click on the bomb or hour-glasses which appear for more time, till you win.
A second mini-game is where you shoot colored balls to where three together clear out of the screen. You must not let the screen fall, to win. I have always enjoyed this one!
The third mini-game is the one I enjoy a lot too. You have to shoot as many balloons per shot as you can, during three levels, to win.
Try before you buy, however, to see if you like this game.
Many, many thanks to the developers and to Bigfishgames for getting this and such other fantastic games to me!!
ENJOYING IT A LOT! MANY THANKS to Bigfish games & game developers.

Amazing & great game - one of the most challenging Word Games I have played! Very good replay value too, I think.
Sufficient levels to keep me happy!
Greatly enjoyed the games like Hangman, between levels.
This review is on Classic mode which is also timed, but easier than Action mode.
The game seemed hard first time round,
Glad that I did not give up, however, because after I managed to bumble thru all levels once and complete the game, second time around I found it far easier & so much fun, and I have now not lost a single life but have 23 & counting, very early in the game!
It seems not really how FAST you play each level, but how carefully & wisely you use letters to keep them from dissolving, that helps to preserve your lives.
Although the colored (give more points plus an extra life if properly used) & green seem to give more points, I often had to disregard those, to use the normal letters in order of weakest ones first.
That way, I preserved my lives longer (the green do not weaken) - a life is lost for each letter that dissolves.
Normal letters warn by getting red, then dark red then flash before dissolving & losing a life.
Wise, I think, to choose from letters that are flashing red first, next, the weakest looking (reddest), then the light red, then the weaker black etc. leaving the solid black for last.
Also I found it good to retain a variety of letters in bowl, for ease of finding words.
E.g. if there were three A's, I tried to use an A in each preceding word, so that I was not stuck with the dilemma of finding a word using the three A's at the end.
Longer words seem more lucrative point-wise, I found, as well as good to beat the timer.
And, I found it beneficial point-wise to seek the letters ING if I could, to make long words ending with ING!
Cheers, enjoy playing and very good wishes to all!
Plenty of levels (without even counting the Bonus levels which I have not yet opened up) which I think is very, very well worth the price of the game!
Each level has within it many different levels with different kinds of games at each level.
Some games are Mah Jong type, some are find the differences in two scenes, some are match 3 type, others are various type of hidden object variations, example, find objects in darkness, find objects with only the outlines given etc.
Unlimited hints which replenish in a few seconds, so one does not get stuck at any level!
I found SHIELDS at the abc levels (the ones where the clues are written in words).
Very good re-play value because one can play often to try for all shields to open the Bonus levels.
Also, one can attempt to top one's last score (i.e. finish a level without using hints and without error clicks for lots and lots of points!).
I own lots of Hidden Object games but this is in the topmost class with relaxed fun and nice, restful backgrounds.
Gratitude and respect to everyone who got this game to me!
This game and also Tales of Lagoona 2 are amazing!
I noticed a tremendous amount of care, attention to detail, love and consideration for the player, in both games.
The creator/s of the game are very well admired in that they manage to incorporate so much fun, challenge and enjoyment in both games.
They have gone over and above normal game standards because there is so MUCH in each of the above games, both in the HO areas as well as in the puzzle areas, to keep the player happily busy for a very long time.
These games are replayable and therefore worth far more than I paid for them!
The puzzles alone are worth much more than the cost of the entire game. Each puzzle is different and a few of them are very, very admirable in the challenge level, content, idea and fun!
I found the HO part better than most other HO games, in that the HOs are easily retrievable as they are large and seem very true to the clue given, and the colors are bright and delightful!
Both adults and kids could enjoy this.
Many, many thanks to the Creator/s of the game and to Bigfishgames who managed to get this game to the community so easily and inexpensively.
Cannot believe they sell this awesome game so inexpensively. It has been hours and hours of fun and still is!
I believe BIGFISHGAMES and game creators such as created this particular game, have done a wonderful community service keeping people happy, by making games such as this!
Great praises to all involved in creating and making available this wonderful game. Thanks ever so much!
I notice SO MUCH TROUBLE, care and love has been taken to make this game AWESOME!
I own many HO games but this one stands out easily as the best of the best.
I believe everyone, from kids to adults would enjoy playing this. The hidden objects are clear, mostly easily seen, and large enough that they are a pleasure to find. The colors are delightful.
If one is tired of the HO, there are numerous different types of puzzles which are EXCELLENT, challenging and fun! They are very admirable in their intricacy and high challenge level!
Among the puzzles too, there are many, many choices and one can simply "skip" a puzzle one does not like.
There are hints easily available in the HO and no penalty for extra clicks. Also, in relaxed mode, one does not have to beat a timer and so can leisurely enjoy the game.
There are little clues in the HO which are delightful e.g. clues from old poems.
There's lots more in this game which has been so admirable I have shaken my head in disbelief!
On a scale of one to five, I give this game a 15 :)
Thank you very much again, to all who made this fantastic game available!
I recommend this game!

Excellent!!!! Challenging, not too difficult, yet not easy -especially at the end levels :)
Very nice game for older kids and adults, I think. Even younger kids might enjoy this.
The UNDO and RE-DEAL buttons are wonderful, if one gets stuck at a level. If you RE-DEAL, it gives you all new cards. All you lose is whatever power-ups you earned at that level.
The bonus word is fun to do. Once the level is aced, if one works toward the bonus word and gets it, one can simply collect the power-up, then go back to their completion page by clicking UNDO till one sees all the green diamonds light up. Don't have to work it again :)
Have nearly reached the end (at level 74 now) and I think one should save JOKER power ups for the end levels as they are harder, with Qs, Zs and Xs and stricter rules to pass the level.
Pretty neat thinking, to be able to present such a nice word game to the world. Well done, indeed!
Much gratitude and respect to BigFishGames who, I believe, manages to keep the community very happy and joyful with their fun games being offered at such reasonable prices :)
