I really enjoyed this game as it lasted quite a while containing lots of interesting puzzles and interactive HO scenes without there being too many of them to make the game itself too tedious.
There is also an interactive map telling you where there are still things to do and take you straight there which I found very useful.
I recommend this game!

You jog merrily along in this entertaining mix of HO, puzzles and adventure.
You get a hint button in the HO scenes, but nothing to help you out in the main adventure, apart from "There is nothing more to do here" message.
The only help you have is a map indicating certain points to follow, but where there are none, you just have to keep searching each scene until some more action happens which will trigger more HO scenes and the plot goes forward once more.
A bit of a meek ending, but some nice puzzles to occupy you with.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game, but could not finish it as it kept crashing when trying to return to the lighthouse.
Did anyone else experience this problem?

My type of HO as there are not a lot of them to bog you down and a lot of challenging mini puzzles.
The story line is very good and an unexpected ending.
Very entertaining game. Lots of hours of game time.
One of the better HO games not to be missed.
I recommend this game!

I don't like HO's when they are dark on dark background.
The game itself is a bit mundane as you just trawl around.
Some puzzles were good as that is what I like to do as there is more of a challenge there.
The ending explains what happened in a summary, so if you have got that far, don't skip it.
I don't recommend this game.

Later on in the game, it goes from one HO scene to another over and over again.
A lot of the objects are very dark on dark backgrounds, even with the help they are hard to find.
Some of the puzzles however are quite challenging, so I am continuing to play through the HOs to get more of them, as that is what I like doing the most.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved this game as it became more addictive the more you played it.
Seemed simple at first, but you have to work at the levels to get the upgrades which are fun in themselves - I loved the 'Zuma' one.
Gets very challenging the more levels you get up to.
I have just finished it and there were 476 levels, so good value for money.
What I liked is that if you lost all your lives, you could start the current level again and you didn't loose accumulated money for the upgrades, just your score got re-set to zero.
I recommend this game!

I love mini games and in this one there were a lot of really challenging ones that you really had to work hard at to solve. Most of them were games that I had not came across before.

Play the expert mode - it is not as easy as it seems to get within the time limit, especially in the later levels.
Sometimes you have to go back and replay levels after you have found out what is coming next to plan ahead with your stock levels.
Very rewarding when you have thought things through a couple of times, changed stuff around for maximum time efficiency and can afford the upgrades.
I am now going to replay from the start as I never got enough money to get the machine upgrades first time round.
VERY ADDICTIVE once you get into it.
I recommend this game!

Like a HOS game, but no time-consuming HOs to find before you get the next object needed.
You just get on with the game, finding clues to help you with the puzzles which when cracked will unlock more areas.
You are confined to about 3 or 4 rooms / areas until all puzzles are complete, only then do you move on to the next section of the game, so you are not continually going from one end of a map to another to use the object you have just found and lose your orientation as in most HOS games.
Great thought has been to the making of this game, and I only hope they will produce more like this.
There were loads of puzzles to get your brain thinking to work them out - loads I have not come accross before.
Hints are there to help you to get started if you are really stuck.
I recommend this game!
