This is the worst game I have tried for a very long time.
I was intrigued to see why there were so many high scores and so many low scores in reviews.
I am afraid I have to add my review to the low ones.
Just plodding back and forward doing very silly this and that
Most dissapointing.
it seems to be one of those games that you just have to try and see.
but not for me at all
no challenge and I finished the demo way,way too quickly

I was keen to give this a go but expected more
I agree that this does not seem worthy of a CE.
I enjoy the chase of collecting and morphing objects and good challenging puzzles that keep you thinking and engaged
This really did not have that and I finished the demo way too early
But it has atmosphere for sure.
I had to turn the sound right down as it is way too distracting.
this one is just not for me.
Perhaps it gets better but I wont be finding out.
I expect more from a CE

I was surprised at the complaints on the unskippable start as all you had to do was click on 13 items and away you go.
Not to sure about the being rushed and continually pushed aspect of it all but I gave it a go
I just got a tad bored
Nothing unusual or different

The harder the better for me,I always play on tough as you get Mode.
So this was a real pleasure for me
I really had to think hard and pen and paper is essential.
No hand holding here.
I never got bored and it pulled me in right from the start
More like this please

I was so looking forward to the latest in this series of Games.
after the delights of The Nutcracker which is a firm favourite of mine.
So I was much looking forwad to settling in to a good challenge.
I played on hardest Mode from start
The game is delightful, but I found it lacking in challenge and I completed it much too quickly,finding all morphing objects and Puzzle pieces the first time round and in 2 hours.
a lot of trundling back and forward with an odd carrot etc.
My grandson who is 11 did the same with only one small pause over the cats on blocks puzzle
I have replayed the others a few times but sadly I do not think I will be with this one.
Lovely artwork as ever but seems to be aimed and those players that like an easier level of play.

I so enjoyed the Nutcracker that I was very pleased when I saw this follow up.
Not as challenging as the Nutcracker but still a real pleasure.
Lots to do and the Puzzles were an enjoyable mixture.
Did not last as long as I had hoped after the Nutcracker was a challenge.
I missed a Puzzle piece somewhere so will have another go quite happily.
My grandson did the previous one with me and I know he will love this one

I had high hopes for this one.
But I found it very slow going.By the time I got to the the Puppet show style hang the missing bits up, I was tired of all the waiting around.
It was just back and forward for me and then suddenly I had to wait while something did not a lot before I could get going again.I just could not seem to get going.
Nothing to collect on the way and no achievements to gain
I am afraid I lost patience.
Graphics are nice and pleasant Music.
I would still recommend as it is a nicely designed Game but not for me I am afraid.
I let my 4 year old grandaughter do the puppet style Puzzles.
she finished them on her own
So it is a no buy for me

Your opponents are cresting the horizon and time is running out! Build cannons, save money, stockpile secret weapons and brace for impact before the enemy closes in!

I like Games that I basically find hard to do.I managed this all the way through almost 90% on fast speed and did not loose one single life.
I have played all the others similar to this type so perhaps that is why and I know a lot complained that Invisible Threat for instance was too hard.
No unbeatable boss,no levels with no cash available,so little to work for at all.
Nothing to tax the brain or work out how to complete
Dissapointed.
But nicely done if you just want to chill and play

I absolutely love this Game,a real challenge.I was really cross when it ended.It is quite delightful with the extra challenge of collecting dolls as you go.Did not get them all first time so had a good excuse to do it all again.Which is rare for me.
Some of the mini games are a real challenge and made a nice change from the dark gloomy type Games.
Lots of choice in Options and lasted just long enough
Loved it and full marks from me.
All ages could give this a go,my grandson is now trying it in casual mode and loving it.
