You're gonna love this game as much as I do. Been waiting for another game like this it seems forever. Since these types of games have been so few and inbetween I'm thanking goodness for the hint button but what a wonderful ride it is.. great cartoonish graphics, storyline, and gameplay!
First of all it was so worth the money! This developer has set a new bar for hidden objects! Never have I had as much fun as looking at a screen and wondering what I should be doing. Such a challenge and sometimes with one small hint I was able to be off and running. MOST of the puzzles/mini games had a skip but some latter ones did not. This friendly developer over on pond friends was able to help me out to complete one I was totally stumped on.
I would like to suggest that in their next game all puzzles have a skip and more importantly that the guide SHOWS the solution.
The bonus game was a let down... seemed all it was was puzzles.
For the above reasons I had to remove one star although it was a stellar game!
IMHO Christmas games should be about fantasy with lots of spirit. Not only do the puzzles outweigh the HOs (AGAIN) I just didn't feel any real Christmas spirit in this game. My favorite by this developer was the Mother Goose one. Fantasy characters and a fantasy storyline.....equal mix of puzzles and more creative HOs would be MY golden ticket!
KUDOS to Brave Giant and their fearless leader Boris! Fearless because he brought something new to the table.. a game that would be loved or hated. Those of us who were asking for something new and different were not disappointed. A lot thought it was childish…. I thought it was cheesy which I LOVED. Very tongue in cheek, the animations of the characters were hilariously stiff but the graphics.. oh my dear.. colorful and gorgeous.
Loved the tasks to go to rooms to find things….. but the puzzles kept getting harder to figure out and I skipped so many after several attempts to solve. I was wishing for a guide to help me figure those out and learn how to do them but there’s not one.
It was one of the longest games I’ve ever played!! And I mean days……
So if you’re satisfied with the status quo and cookie cutter games you can be happy to wait for more of those but I’m so happy to have bought and played this unique little gem.
For ME this game is worth the price of a ticket just to admire the wonderful graphics of the village itself with the 3D views! I always play on relaxed mode because I play M3 games for relaxation.
On the menu when you click on Buildings you can take a close up view to see what everyone is doing.
The book is a GREAT help and click on Trophies to continue claiming jewels all the time.
Love the game play (challenging enough for me) and the voice overs are good, too.
What has happened to one of my favorite developers? There's no joy in Gameville for those of us who at least expect a HOPA to supply as many Hidden Objects as Puzzles? Simply refuse to purchase a game that leaves me out in the cold and hope in the future they publish a game for everyone no just puzzle lovers.
Finally!!!!!!!!! Another game from the developer. Loved the last one that played so differently from any other game and have waited a long time for this one to be released here. Purchased it without even doing the demo.
LOVING the HOs and puzzles aren't too bad either. Long time since I have even had to use a map!
Enjoying but stopped to write this review...... more Tell Tale games, please.
I have all the other Fairy Godmother Stories and loved them but this one was a major disappointment. Where's the fairy tale? As was mentioned just plays like a regular detective story.
