A few things that made this so boring are that you see the same scenes over and over again. Supposed to be Mediterranean Journey but did not really go anywhere. The "cartoon" characters were really out of place in this one. The whole look was very amateurish. It was so repetitive with the same scenes I just stopped after a while. Could not be bothered with it anymore
I don't recommend this game.

I was really disappointed with this one from Boomzap. Their early games were so good and this one is not a patch on any of them. So much dialogue to read and no explanation of what the fun facts are or how you look for them.
Sorry not enchanted with this at all. Not buying it

Extraterrestrials have arrived! Fortunately, they’re not here to invade, they just want to observe. Can you find them all?

This HO game is a little bit different. You really have to think about the clues for each item or being to try and find them. You can zoom in and out of the scene and also the fact there are hidden areas that you need to trigger adds a level of complexity. Really enjoying the challenge and the difference in approach.
I recommend this game!

I just don't get the way the crab moves. There does not seem to be any consistence and there are only so many times I am willing to redo a level. It all became to tiresome. I wish I had not bought it. Don't like this one
I don't recommend this game.

This is like a carbon copy of the "Rescue Team" franchise. It is a direct copy in regard to what is required to be done but is boring. I do not know what else I can say. I played for 20 mins or so and just gave it away. Time Management games seem to be really running out of ideas
I don't recommend this game.

When I first downloaded the trial and started it I was quite perplexed as to what to do and then it started to sink in. Find the petals and you get a hint, which you do need at times. Then start finding the items and the story starts to progress. I was intrigued so am buying it because I want to see where it goes. It's a bit different to the normal games we have been getting lately so I really happy to play it to the end.
I recommend this game!

At last another episode in this series. It is not just gathering resources, you have to complete tasks and really think about what the aim of the stage is. Plus there are hidden objects to find. It has a story. It is not the same as Adelantado Trilogy but I feel starved for a really good Time management game right now
I recommend this game!

This game is much more than just a Match 3 type of game. You have to really think to pass the tasks and challenges. It is not easy and sometimes I needed to attempt a task a few times to get through but that made it far more interesting. I am really enjoying it
I recommend this game!

I think developers have run out of ideas for TM games. This one was so routine. Just growing wheat and selling to get gold etc. Not fun at all. I only did the trial for a couple of levels and decided I could not be bothered going on
I don't recommend this game.
When volcanic eruptions uncover hidden caves in Samoa, you can’t wait to decipher the ancient texts inside! But this educational expedition quickly takes a dangerous turn when someone steals your research! Legend says the Maori hid a powerful artifact, and there’s no telling what damage it could do in the wrong hands! Can you find the artifact and save the world in time?

I've been playing these games for awhile. I like the Domini Games as they are brightly coloured and not scary. This one however is the same as most of the others. Same idea different day. It was not interesting enough for me to buy. I played the trial only. If you are a seasoned HO game player then I do not think, as I did, that there is anything new here. If you have not played a HO game before then it could be fun. The story line is not much different to others but it does look good. This one not good enough for me to bother with
I don't recommend this game.
