I love the dwarf and i thought, wow here he is again. But, he only appears 2 or 3 times in the whole game - that's why the story is extremely weak. And now as i get to the second part of the game - the story even disappeared. You just walk around and do stupid minigames, which you cannot even skip, but have to use the hintbutton for to solve them. I'm very disapponted that the developers didn't put the amount of work it takes to get a good storyline, which takes you through the whole game. Without a story which takes your attention - you just wander around in the dark - and there are really way too many things to do, without knowing why and this is boring. Let the dwarf play an active role and give us a good storyline! Please!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a cute game - i don't know how it is to play it in "timed" mode, luckily there is also the relaxed mode. What i don't like at all is "the story line" - it is good for nothing and only delaying the game. Instead of the story, i would have loved to have HO-scenes to solve. And what i don't like at all: you can buy items, but there are already so many items on the board when you start the game, it doesn't give you a good feeling as it does in other games, where the board in the beginning is empty and you fill it with houses etc - and as the board is already so crowded, you can't even really detect what you have bought... this is really a downfall of this game... and it is such an unnecessary frustration.
I recommend this game!

This is the best game of the whole serie so far. I cannot even imagine how much work it has been to create something so beautiful. Every scenery is a joy to look at, and the villain is so mean and still so much pleasure to watch - please developers, keep him and let us have more stories of him - sort of a "spin-off" just for this little cute and mean guy :-). Thank you people, for bringing so much joy in my room!
I recommend this game!

a wonderful game, if it wasn't that slow in developing the plot... I'm sorry, but i couldn't go on with it, it was as if i was playing in slow-motion. And one thing: i will never understand why a developer does not have a "custom" possibility for the settings - it's so common now, but here there is no possibility to adjust your settings. And the music was so loud that you could barely understand what the guy was saying. But it could have been a very interesting game as the storyline was fascinating.

Suspense, interesting mini-games and various type of HO-scenes - if it hadn't this terrible face which one can see here above, it would have been perfect. I get scared from it and i would not even have tried the game - but luckily someone recommended it to me - and it's really a great game, perfectly built and a lot of pleasure to play.
I recommend this game!

I love this game. It's story is unique and not just a variation on an old fairy tale. The scenery is very beautiful, the voiceovers are good, the music is good, i love to find these 2 birds and i am happy that i spend my money so well! It's wonderful, did i mention this already? :-)
I recommend this game!

I don't like it at all, if a storyline has flaws - and this one has huge flaws... no real ending in the main game and no real ending in the bonus-game :-( - Although as always the graphics are wonderful and i really like this serie - i feel in a way betrayed because the story leads to nowhere.
I recommend this game!

It is almost like a movie, but a movie, where you participate. It's thrilling to follow the story, it has wonderful and very well fitting music, the story is very interesting, the graphics and colors are really great - I love, how much i feel involved in this story. Like a detective, trying to figure out, who dit what. A game, which could be used as a "how-to-build-a-good-game" lesson teacher. Really lovely done!
I recommend this game!

I used to love Mariaglorum-games. i will never forget the scaregrow man and his son, who was turned into a clay-puppet. I loved those games because the storyline was straight and clear, and the graphics were gorgeous and fit the game. But nowaydays Mariaglorum uses its perfect graphics only for very strange storylines, which i do not only not understand, but also the graphics are thrown into the game on an arbitrary basis. If feels as if the whole game has a spilt personality and my feeling is as if they lost the person who used to write their stories or as if they have become bored with making games. This game is a real downhill compared to what they used to be able to create. Very, very, very disappointing as they had been so good before.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is a real joy! Everything is good. Storyline, Graphics ( i love the scenery, it's done with much love for detail!), the music, etc. We had to wait long time for a real good game to come along. This one is a real pleasure to play!
I recommend this game!
