BASED ON THE FIRST HALF OF THE GAME - 3 CHAPTERS - THE ACTUAL GAME GETS BETTER
Happy Creepy 16th Birthday! Awakening out of a nightmare you will soon get your "dream come true" a birthday party with weird "black eyed child" - Allie Rice! This game is AN EXCELLENT CREEPSTER! I LOVE the chilling, spooky storyline. The graphics are very dark and gothic. Our black-eyed child, Allie is BEYOND CREEPY! The inventory is interactive and puzzle-like; he HOP scenes are frather well done; the puzzles are numerous and most are extremely easy - but there are a few which are moderately difficult. THE HOP SCENES AND PUZZLES GET BETTER AS YOU PLAY INTO THE ACTUAL GAME. What is the story behind creepy Allie? With her classmates terrified of her, her teacher missing, and all the adults missing as well - what birthday present awaits you from this black eyed Susan? AND WHAT IS THE FORCE THAT IS MOTIVATING ALLIE?
5 CHAPTERS PLUS A BONUS CHAPTER
LEVELS: Casual, Advanced, Hardcore, Customized Hints and Skips range from 15 to 90 seconds
GRAPHICS: Very dark - gothic. Realistic and beautifully done as usual for this dev.
EXTRAS
A. Achievements? Not certain Difficult to perceive
B. Map is provided at beginning of the game
C. Collect 130 flowers WOW! That is quite a birthday bouquet!
D. The usual bonus game, wallpaper, music, screensaver as in all games
E. There is a Secret Room of collectibles
A. Achievements? Not certain Difficult to perceive
B. Map is provided at beginning of the game
C. Collect 130 flowers WOW! That is quite a birthday bouquet!
D. The usual bonus game, wallpaper, music, screensaver as in all games
E. There is a Secret Room of collectibles
INVENTORY: Interactive and puzzle-like Well done and creative
HERE ARE THE DETAILS (SPOILERS) FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE GAME:
HOP SCENES: THERE ARE NOT SUPER HOP SCENES IN THE DEMO BUT THERE ARE IN THE ACTUAL GAME. The HOP scenes include silhouette, storybook - finding items highlighted in large letters while telling a story, standard junk piles uncovering jigsaw pieces, place items back into a storybook, and a variation of a FROG - finding fragments of items to complete a list item
FAVORITE HOP SCENE: SUPER HOP SCENE in which you place silhouette items in slots which opens up a list of items to locate which gives you parts of a jigsaw puzzle for a crow opening up a box for a gift
PUZZLES: Most of the puzzles are EXTREMELY EASY. THERE ARE NO SUPER PUZZLES. However, in the demo, I found a couple of moderate difficulty. Most of the puzzles were variations of matching puzzles, placing items in correct locations, coloring in letters based on a diagram, finding differences between two almost identical scenes, and a variation of a jigsaw puzzle, sewing
FAVORITE PUZZLE: Letter path game. A variation of a maze puzzle. To access a computer you must enter the letters in a certain sequence which is not straightforward. A little tricky here!
LEAST FAVORITE PUZZLE: Catching fireflies to put into a jar! VERY HARD TO MANEUVER!
BTW - IS ALLIE RICE ANY RELATION TO ANNE RICE???
I recommend this game!

We are off through the looking glass again in an original SE game by a new dev. It is another "mom-to-the-rescue" game. The game is old school with bright, colorful graphics, an unusual storyline, no voiceovers. However, we are entertained by some rather "unusual, strange" sounds in the game. I loved the "sounds" emanating from the leprechaun. There are only two levels of play. The HOP scenes I encountered were lists of items to locate. The puzzles I encountered were sliding rings and potions to create. It is not bad for an SE, however. Probably better than most original SE games we have. However, the devil is in the details for me. Personally, I found the game very difficult to maneuver.
After a very trying day with the devil myself, this game brought some much needed humor. Sorry - but I could not help laughing at the weird sounds in this game, especially that of the leprechaun. I won't purchase but it brought brief respite of fun from a mountain of devilish work.
I recommend this game!

Genre: Suspenseful mystery game. Well crafted game.
As the journalist, Natalie Walker, you are off to a tropical island to cover a beauty contest which revolves around a real beauty, the priceless Liberty Stone. This intriguing game has a decent storyline, stellar graphics, the usual creative and innovative HOP scenes and puzzles. The puzzles vary in difficulty from extremely easy to moderately difficult. Some of these are "super HOP scenes" and "super puzzles," which are a series of mini HOP scenes and puzzles which open to others.
When the stone ends up missing along with a rival's daughter, you find yourself the prime suspect. You will have some sleuthing to deal with rival families who both want to claim the stone, intrigue, deceit along with an undercurrent of a modern day Romeo and Juliet story. This is an automatic purchase for me.

Hints 10 to 120 seconds Skips 10 to 400 secondsThere are error penalties for clicking on HOP scenes

HERE ARE THE DETAILS (SPOILERS) FOR THOSE WANT MORE INFO ON THE GAME
HOP SCENES: Creative and innovative requiring multiple steps. There is a variety of HOP scenes - list of items, matching, silhouette. From the demo, I encountered two which I LOVED:
A. MY FAVORITE HOP SCENE: SUPER HOP/PUZZLE SCENE: Begins with a Junk pile after locating all items - locate a number of pieces for box after which becomes a moving tile puzzle
B. SECOND FAVORITE: MAKE A DRINK FOR THE MONKEY! Silhouette items followed by creating a drink for a monkey in an rather awesome, cool hat! Got me into the summertime mood!
PUZZLES: Creative and innovative requiring multiple steps. Puzzles vary in difficulty. Some are moderate in difficulty and one I encountered was beyond easy. Puzzles include tracing a letter, drawing pictures of suspect, variation of roulette game, variation of pipe puzzle connecting lines so that the lines connecting match the number, sliding doll puzzle, choosing between three answers when asked a series of questions
A. FAVORITE PUZZLE: Mathematical puzzle - Variation of a roulette game

What is the mystery behind the reclusive Audrey Quinn, actor extraordinaire? We have a glistening five-star game from the vaults of the Master Gamers. This game has: superb graphics with a 1940/1950 flair, puzzle-like super HOP scenes offering various styles of interactive HOP scenes within one another; some creative super puzzles (puzzles within a larger puzzle scene), a creative interactive inventory set within a suspenseful story. Will Audrey Quinn win "fame fatale" this year beating out her rival Veronica Lane? And what is the mystery concerning her personal life that has the Tinseltown gossip mill churning its wheels? You will find yourself in double the trouble in this game. To me, a 5 star game; however, I did not like this game as well as the others in this series. It lacks a little of the special sparkle of the previous Final Cut games.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS (SPOILERS) FOR THOSE WANT MORE SPECS ON THE GAME
STORY: You better look twice at everything in this game! You have been hired by good friend and rival Veronica Malone to keep an eye on her good friend, Audrey Quinn, actor extraordinaire. What is the mystery behind the reclusive Aubrey Quinn? Strange occurrences are happening to this reclusive actor. Who is the mysterious man who is arguing with Audrey and seemingly controlling her? Who is Stanley? As you investigate this case you uncover some bizarre and mysterious facts concerning Ms. Quinn. And will Aubrey unseat Veronica Lane as the newest "femme fatale?"
GRAPHICS : Realistic, sharp imaging and nicely done as usual for this dev. A film noir effect. Circa 1940-1950's Hollywood
INVENTORY: Puzzle-like and interactive
HOP SCENES: Super HOP scenes - a series of mini- HOP scenes - beginning with one type of HOP scene, changing to another - all of which are puzzle-like. You have the option to play a theme-based iMatch 3 game instead. These are the types featured in the demo:
A. List of items to locate - somewhat interactive opening up to a variation of a silhouette HOP scene
B. List of items to locate followed by cryptic clues to locate an inventory item
C. BEST HOP SCENE: SUPER HOP SCENE - Search for a specific amount of an item followed by receipt of an item to use within the HOP scene. So awesome. In one you locate frogs and cats followed by a little gardening - scooping up dirt to "uncover" and cutting out some parts to produce more lists of items to locate, finally arriving at the final inventory item.
D. Silhouette scenes followed by cryptic clues telling a story about Audrey Quinn
B. List of items to locate followed by cryptic clues to locate an inventory item

D. Silhouette scenes followed by cryptic clues telling a story about Audrey Quinn
PUZZLES: To me, the worst part of the game. To me, some of the puzzles were way too easy. Not as creative as previous games. There were some of moderate difficulty. There is one nicely done super puzzle in the demo. These are the ones encountered in the demo:
A. Super puzzle - Moving tile puzzle to verify your pass - followed by matching puzzle
B. Move statues to correct location based on base shape Beyond easy
C. Variation the sleight of hand movement of chips for food placement based on a menu. Not my favorite puzzle
D. Placing flower pots into correct locations - beyond easy
D. Sliding tile puzzle to open a box. Again, beyond easy
E. BEST PUZZLE: PIpe puzle - reconnect pipes by moving tiles
F. SECOND BEST PUZZLE: Weights and balances puzzle - get weights to align along a single line
B. Move statues to correct location based on base shape Beyond easy

I LOVE MR. GAUDI'S CITY (MY SECOND "HOME") AND THIS STRICTLY HOP GAME! To me, Barcelona is an artistic jewel and to me, the most beautiful city in Europe with a great climate! "Sunny" (of course) and beautiful! This game is a great way to be introduced to this fabulous city! This dev has upped their game in producing HOP games set in differing worldwide locales. This series is great for children as well as adults. They have included some interesting puzzle-like activities in addition to the HOP scenes The graphics are cartoonish which really do not portray the beauty of this fabulous city. The highlight of this city is, of course "La Familia Sagrada," a cathedral began in 1908 by Antoni Gaudi, which is STILL NOT completed and probably never will. I think this game should have begun with this church or the Park Güell. You collect coins to purchase additional hints. You are timed and are scored as well. You receive bonus points for finishing before time is over. You also collect 60 guitars. However, I AM NOT a HOP enthusiast! I found the items difficult to locate as well. I purchased because of its Barcelona theme.
This game brings back fond memories as an "intercambia" (exchange student) in Barcelona. So many fond memories from the beautiful beaches, the crazy Columbus statue pointing the WRONG DIRECTION to the New World, to the modern architecture, beautiful art (excellent Picasso museum), that crazy lobster statue near the beach, the tram cars, the aquarium, the Catalunya Formula One car race buzzing through the city in the summer, and of course, "mi familia intercamnbia" and "amigos" and "amis" from southern France. Watch out for those "invading Frenchies" in Barcelona! LOL Spanish is spoken but they have their own language, Catalan. Currently they are in the midst of a fight for independence from Spain as well!
From the small amount of time I played - EXCELLENT JOB devs in portraying Barcelona! AND THEIR SOCCER TEAM IS THE BEST IN SPAIN LOL!

I am always happy to get any nonogram games. I absolutely love this variation of Sudoku. However, I have been spoiled by the offerings of another dev, which provides auto-fill in and multiple screens of varying colors.
I also don't like the whole idea of collecting coins. This is pretty much a one screen - one color game - GREEN! And I don't think the other dev need to be "green" with envy about this game! There really is no storyline because it is pretty much just straight screen after screen of nonograms (AKA O"Ekakai, paint by numbers, pic-a-pix etc.) I will purchase because I love to play this game this type of game to focus on work-related issues and there are always work-related issues. LOL They are fun to play when you need to focus your thoughts.
I just can't give it five stars, however due to the fact there is a better dev which produces a much better product. Sorry!
I recommend this game!

I am new to this type of game. However, I am loving it and I absolutely enchanted with this one from the same dev who produces the O'Ekaki (nonogram) games. What a beautiful game. I collect masks as well - so naturally I was drawn to the whole Carnival atmosphere. I felt this game a little easier than others I have seen.
I must admit I am new to the whole Mah Jong genre. I really don't quite understand and have not learned all the nuances of this game. And, I am not even certain I am that "into it" yet. One thing I do not understand is why you must play each scene more than one time??? I think the last one I played you only played each scene once,
I played about 20 minutes and will purchase with a coupon. Nice game for me to focus my thoughts. Thanks BF. Hopefully a few more nonogram games will be forthcoming as well.
I recommend this game!

!This time it's personal, Auntie Gray - you are the prime suspect in a murder case suffering from amnesia! We have a "homey" Jessica Fletcher type murder mystery complete with a hand knitted suspenseful storyline. There are more puzzles than HOP scenes. The HOP scenes are creative - the puzzles are easy and there is an interactive inventory. You also collect evidence and place it into slots. The graphics are cartoon-like. The game is a warm and fuzzy "homey" production for those who like this type of game genre. After playing this demo, I wanted to knit my cat a scarf, sew up a new dress and make some oatmeal raisin cookies for my fellow coworkers. This is a well-crafted game but not for me. However, I highly recommend it. It is a well crafted game. However, I did enjoy some fun moments in this game - especially the dancing frog in one of the puzzles - LOL

HERE ARE THE DETAILS (SPOILERS) FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE INFO ON THE GAME:
It is Auntie to the rescue in a game reminiscent of "Murder She Wrote.'" You are involved in the murder of Howard Kelly, a student. He was killed with pruners (well that one way to" weed" out a troublesome student!) You suffered a concussion and don't remember anything about the incident. Apparently a student, Howard, broke into your house and you defended yourself, resulting in his death. Luckily your niece is there to give you a needed hand in this case Not only being a connoisseur "cat woman" , it seems you are an expert in Time Travel as well. Howard's ghost is haunting you wondering why you killed him. But did you actually kill him? You keep reliving the crime with flashbacks. Why was Howard there in the first place? What was he looking for? As your memory begins to return with the collection of items involved in the evidence, you begin to worry you may have actually killed him! And how does your college-aged niece fit into this as well?

GRAPHICS: The graphics are bright, colorful and cartoon-like.
INVENTORY: Interactive and puzzle-like.
You collect evidence as evidenced by 5 slots at the beginning for items you must collect to further the case.
HOP SCENE: Innovative and puzzle-like. There were not many in this game. The HOP scenes are varied - silhouette junk piles; matching part of items to remove it from the list; locating a number of the same item.
FAVORITE HOP SCENE - Finding items for a bas relief followed by matching up two items used by a fairy tale character.
PUZZLES: Fairly light and easy breezy. In the demo I encountered: Variations of jig saw puzzles; lock pick puzzle; figuring out a number code; assembly puzzles, matching, Match 3 game, moving parts of an object to correct location, a puzzle with a series of mini-puzzles which must be solved in sequence. Very awesome!
FAVORITE PUZZLES: JUST FOR FUN!
A. Yeah! A fish race. Manipulate your fishies so that in fairness they all arrive at the same time (We don't want any ONE fish finishing before the others. How unfair to the slacker fish!)
B. Remember the "Fish Pond" at the carnival? Catch fish with a frog (Actually if you listen to music - the frog dances in time to it) Your choice of "muzac" - I chose techno. It was so much fun to watch the frog boogie on down to the music!

What do you fear? You better not show it around this game. Some madman is watching your every move and sending you messages as you maneuver into a carnival's Maze of Fears. This is a masterly crafted puzzle-intense game. The story is excellent weaving you through a maze of puzzles and illusions. The graphics are cartoonish - expected in a carnival setting. The HOP scenes are sequential and puzzle-like; the puzzles are numerous and varied ranging from easy to difficult. There is a Match 3 game in lieu of the HOP scenes. Saving both you and your daughter in this game is an amulet, when charged, alleviates the build-up of fear! Everything in this game including the HOP scenes and puzzles are maze-like.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS (SPOILERS) FOR THOSE WANT MORE INFO ON THE GAME
You play "Dad to the rescue" of your rebellious teen daughter, Amber. She has entered the Maze of Fears without your consent having a "free ticket." Some mad man is playing on her fears - driving her into a maze of sheer terror from which she may not return. This game is filled with a roller coaster ride of mazes and more mazes. You and your daughter will relive a series of other people's fears in a sequence of stories. Behind all of this is a story is about a man who wanted to help people, creating a device to fight fears. He created a device to dispel fears, but needed an assistant. Why? Who was his assistant and what happened to both he and his assistant? You keep getting messages from some creepy stalker concerning "fear" itself. It seems you will travel to different laboratories to experience different phobias and the incidences which create them. Be warned - this game may be dangerous to your psyche.

INVENTORY: Interactive and puzzle-like with mini puzzles throughout
GRAPHICS : Cartoon-like befitting a carnival theme. Muted colors
HOP SCENES: Puzzle like and all the same (at least in the demo). Interactive and sequential. Locate one item to use in the scene to get another item which you will use to locate the next item to interact in the scene until you have finished the list and get an inventory item.
PUZZLES: Yeah! A puzzle lovers delight! There are so many puzzles - just in the demo - I would need a page to list all of them! It is puzzle intense which is to be expected in a psychological thriller. You have a choice of a Match 3 game instead of the HOP scenes. They are both very nicely executed. I couldn't decide which to play. Loved both! The puzzles range from easy to difficult. Most of the puzzles are designed on the concept of mazes.
Types of puzzles from just the demo: a variation of maze puzzles, sliding tile puzzles; rotating ring puzzles; storybook silhouette puzzles; moving tile puzzles; a unique map puzzle; a switch puzzle.
FAVORITE PUZZLE: Variation of a chessboard puzzle - playing against the computer to collect the most squares on a chessboard.
Good work devs! You have correctly used "electrical tape" and not duct tape to fix your electrical cords. You have made some adhesive company very happy with your choice! LOL
I recommend this game!
