Seriously, is this type of thing not potentially endless? Cats, Dogs, Furbabies, Birds, Critters, now Wild Friends?
What's next? Animal friends of each country? Beloved insects? Our Amazing Protozoans? Neglected Snakes?

It is to the point of being insulting. Because this is the VERY SAME GAME as all the others. Sorry to say it, but gamers are being played, and Boomzap/Tiny Little Lion are counting the money.
And the devs are getting really sloppy ---- using the same template as all of these "Finding" games, the lack of polish shows in a glaring way.
But, of course, nothing has been done to the game in terms of quality control since they put it line for release months ago, imo.

6 bonus levels? ---- try not to overwhelm us!
wallpapers and music player? ---- useless
exclusive mini-games?---- really? look around
developer's pets? ---- this aspect is so old and uninteresting that they are showing mostly dogs and cats we saw in other games. Are those "wild friends"?

This game is pure junk and qualifies as one of the worst I have seen here at BF in my 15 or so years here.
BF needs to seriously rethink this, and I wish Tiny Little Lion would be exiled to wherever it is tired, old, unimaginative devs go and quit trying to steal our money with terrible games like this.

As an aside ---- isn't it interesting to read the reviews that are more concerned with reviewing other reviews rather than being confident in their own reviews? Just saying.

I think I have admitted in another review that I am possibly the worst M3 player ever ---- but I have a lot of fun trying.
And this one is a great M3.
It is original.
It is well constructed around a clever story.
It has a great variation on the usual M3 mechanics.
It has super sharp visuals.
It has a ton of CE value.
And ---- they don't release one of these on a weekly basis (so unlike the developers just trying to grab some money)

IKI has made many fine games including the Suddenly Meow series and the recent delightful Nocturnarya. The care that goes into the games they create is obvious throughout.
So if you like M3 at all, try this one for sure.
I recommend this game!

I was beginning to wonder when BF would break their run of junker CEs and get back to great casual gaming entertainment.
Well, the long wait is over, and here is an outstanding offering for Halloween.
With a good story, excellent visuals, and a creative eye on every aspect, Elephant has done a nice job with this one.

Not much else to say ---- I'm delighted that we have a familiar type of game that is NOT a throwback. After all, when you are an elephant, why pay any mind at all to a tiny little lion?
Find differences and much more in this delightfully mind-bending game!

Talk about redundant, repeating yourself, and doing the same thing over and over ---- that's Tiny Little Lion or Boomzap or whoever. My least favorite developer has presented us with yet another piece of gaming junk in what I think is THE WORST GAME OF THE YEAR.
Not only is it a rehash of all their other clunkers, this time around (what, BF, about the 4th consecutive CE of this non game?) the visuals are terrible and the sound is scratchy. (Now there's a music player everyone will want ----- tinny sounding tunes that sound like a broken carousel)
Seriously, TLL, stop throwing this stuff together then throwing it at gamers and asking big bucks for it ---- you are embarrassing yourselves.
This games and all like it show zero imagination, sloppy organization, and pitiful presentation. I realize this game and all like it were probably developed months ago but you could have at least put a bit of polish on it.

Sorry to those that think these games are the epitome of great gaming but I am quite sick and tired of these clunkers being offered 3 times a week, or 5 times consecutively. They are awful.
I would give this one minus stars if I could.
I don't recommend this game.
An immersive European adventure!

That is correct ---- three of these clunkers this week.
So that means that, for me, I got no value out of my BF membership.
If these games that simply rehash and spiff up games that were in vogue 15 years ago are all that BF can offer up I will not keep paying good money for membership "benefits"

Because these games are horrible. It's almost like the developers think we are stupid. They rehash the same game in a package of animals, or vacations, or some other series, and they are all the same.
Unfortunately, there are still gamers that believe each offering is unique and different and poses a wonderful experience. Probably the same people are delighted by a rip snorting game of Old Maid. Or maybe an evening of Go Fish. These games are that dull, that simplistic, and that boring.

Spend your money as you choose, but these type games that got started by TLL are all money grabbing junkers.
Just my opinion, of course, but so much more is out there for way less money than these ---- I hate to even use the word ---- games.
I don't recommend this game.
Gear up for frights with spooky Halloween fun!

Each year I look forward to great Halloween games that come down the pipe ---- not this junk.
And that is exactly what these TLL developers have done ---- they have assembled a collection of subpar, old, yesteryear minigames and put a Halloween spin on them and offering them to us here at BF to see who bites on this repeat of all their other games they push out on a weekly basis or more. So boring, so repetitious, so unimaginative, and such a pitifully weak offering.

So boring, so repetitious, so unimaginative, and such a pitifully weak offering.
The CE bonus is a collection of wallpapers I can't imagine using and a music player with tunes by no one you have heard of ---- both useless.
And they declare that some of the "levels" are exclusive to the CE. I guess, they are added minigames ---- same as the other levels without a hint of exclusivity to warrant calling them CE content.

I really am tired of these clunkers that Tiny Little Lion/Boomzap is shoving out every week, and I hope their arrangement with BF is over soon. These developers have gone stale as very old bread, and they need to put their brains to something new or just go away, imo. Seriously, I look back to what they used to do in days gone by and compare those great games to these miserably boring games and I am appalled. I own ALL of their great classics so I know they are capable and I feel that they discovered that some gamers will buy this junk and they are going to ride that horse as long as possible, and in the process they are taking casual games big steps back.
Pitiful sales plan, and a pitiful game.

I strongly suggest to wait a bit for the Halloween games coming up from the dependable astute developers.

Wow ---- I guess Relax games wants in on the gravy train that was started by you-know-who with their gussied up Hidden Object games involving nature, animals, etc.
So as gamers, many rush in to gush over those trivial games declaring they are wonderful and relaxing and rushing to pay top dollar for them.
And the result is we get a series of clunkers like this one with one hidden object scene after the other supported by minigames from ages ago, wallpapers no one uses, and a music player that I personally would not pay a cent to have. It's not even suitable for kids or beginners. Why BF thinks this sort of offering would appeal to their fan base is completely beyond me.

The game is simplistic, trite, and enormously overpriced for what it offers. There are literally thousands of games out there (including at BF) that are vastly superior to this sort of junk.
But if you have the CE money to burn on this disaster of a game, go right ahead and then write a review about how relaxing or soothing or whatever the game is.
I will guarantee you the astute developers out there will never offer up this kind of "game" and I will personally never recommend or purchase it either.

I'm talking about the opening to this game that shows a cat in distress.
I know it is an animation/cartoon style cat ---- but the thoughtlessness of the devs is inexcusable. The opening scene graphically shows a poisoned, choking ---- then dying cat.
As a person that has fostered, owned and taken care of all kinds of cats and dogs for many years I have seen all kinds of problems with these little babies ---- AND I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT KIND OF SUFFERING IN A GAME.

You developers should update the game and get rid of that disgusting opening sequence. At that point I will look at the rest of the game ---- not before. Very crude and needless, devs. Shame on such thoughtlessness.
I would recommend any gamer with a sensitivity to animals in difficulty not even download the trial. I'm sorry I saw it, and it takes my opinion of these devs down considerably.
I don't recommend this game.

When, oh when, will this seemingly unending glut of plain and simple hidden object games slow down? Sure, they are far better graphically than the tons of HO games of bygone years. but enough is enough. The devs need to stop copying one another and think in terms something new and original instead of "me too"
As to this particular game ---- first and foremost ---- to the devs ---- this game desperately needs a much, much faster hint time. As if just hunting down the well hidden objects is not problematic enough, a person who pays for the game should not have to wait as long as this game requires in its present state for a hint. All the waiting causes boredom to set in fast and the player can lose interest quick in continuing the game. This could easily be done in the "options", as most developers do.
And I do want the game to do well, because it is clearly a step or two above the devs whose games just feature animals or plants, etc.
The graphics are sharper, the minigames are vastly superior to the ones in those "other" ganes.
The graphics are sharper, the minigames are vastly superior to the ones in those "other" ganes.
But one thing I found curious ---- why Brazil? That choice is not really very interesting considering Brazil's record of high crime rates, dirty cities (see Rio's pitifully ruined Olympic venues), and difficulty getting around the country. Maybe this game, with its cheerful presentation and interesting facts can put a more positive spin on Brazil. And I admit it is a better choice than the cities (Paris, NY, London, etc.) done over and over before.
So for those that enjoy travel games, it is a step up from so many others, I am just weary of these over and over hidden object/puzzle games 2-3 times every single week.
So I won't say I recommend the game because I am way past bored with type games, but I won't say that I do not recommend it, either.
BUT FIX THAT HINT TIME!!

Take these comments lightly because I am one of the worst M3 players in the universe.
But I still like to try if the game is not overly complex, and this one fills the bill for me with just enough challenge to keep me interested in playing. It is bright and colorful and features an excellent story.
And a special village building feature is a great addition because you need to build to get to battle bosses.
And a special village building feature is a great addition because you need to build to get to battle bosses.
It is another excellent entry from IKI games (Spooky Dwellers, Suddenly Meow) and shows what a dose of creativity can do for a game (unlike the repetitive, no story, here's an ancient "puzzle", do the same thing again with no goal in sight games blowing up BF these days).
As I said, I'm not very good at M3, but this one is great fun and a keeper for me.
Kudos to the devs, I hope others are watching.
I recommend this game!
