Just finished the demo:
-graphics were good, so visually enticing!
-story line not original but still bearable!
-mini puzzles and HO a wee bit on the weak side of challenging and altogether acceptable to keep one's brain functioning!
-didn't bother with the sound so cannot comment!
I will probably wait for the the "non collection" version before purchasing it altogether with a special offer on a sales weekend from BF.
Didn't feel it was really an immediate purchase for me and would suggest it might be a very good game for beginners and intermediate levels.

Just finished the demo, cartoon graphics are nice, challenges easy to follow, interaction and navigation easy, mini puzzles tricky enough to make things pleasant for beginners or intermediate...unfortunately not areal challenge for "expert skills" level. Good all rounded fun, should suit many players.
I recommend this game!

Thanks to BF for that gem!
Great time management game (I must say I am partial to these).
I particularly liked the attention given to the graphic details as the characters were very well designed and proved great fun while playing it.
Can we have some more please?

Just awful!
The retro look could have made it fun but it doesn't work on a PC format, it is just a pushy, uninspired adaptation of a cardboard game....and all is lost in translation.
Instead of spending their time on "The Game of Life", the developers and BF should encourage format and interface suited for the PC.
No fun, no thrills, nothing to rescue it...Get a Life might prove a better title!

So predictable! I feel like going through the motions for the sake of finishing the demo rather than enjoying the game, I will certainly not buy it because I have seen so many of these games lines and play modes before that I am tired of it.
Would suit people new to these games with beginner or intermediate level.
Not for me but i am sure will please many!

There is nothing novel in the story line, spooky fun fair, circus people who went astray, parallel universe...all seen before but it makes a nice change from the "orphanage" doom and gloom stories.
My only reservation is that even in Hard Mode, there is no challenge whatsoever in the mini games, so very disappointing on that level.
Just fun for the Halloween time coming ahead and for the beginners/intermediate level.

Another disappointing demo to play, it didn't entice me to buy it even with today's special offer, even if it was £1!
I suppose that if you are new to these kind of games you would be happy to play them, but frankly another ship with villains on board + the predictable scary octopus + unchallenging mini-games = a no-no!
Would suit the 8 years old to 12 years old maybe...
It is just OK...ish!

I have just played 30mn of the demo and was disappointed:
-the navigation is rather slow
-the loading is slow
-the mini puzzles wouldn't even challenge my10 years old nephew
-the story line is OK but nothing to write home about
-the music matches the atmosphere of the story line
I would say it is aimed at new people on the block who are just starting playing puzzles and adventures games, however it is not the best example of its kind, and for this reason I cannot recommend it!

The graphics were rather unappealing if not bordering on ugly, the navigation was very slow, no real challenges, objectives were clear though and it might suit someone not familiar with that type of game...and I am struggling to find something positive to add so, I will stop now!
I don't recommend this game.

Unfortunately a waste of time. It starts with 3 HOS and then a slider...so unchallenging and boring that I nearly fell asleep after these first 10mn. It might be pleasing for very young players but I am more than 6 years old and will remove it from my downloads.
I don't recommend this game.
