I do like this game. I have to say I am accustomed to playing point and click games from the Nancy Drew series. However,
Pennmom's review helped me to be able to navigate more easily through this game.
Pennmom's review helped me to be able to navigate more easily through this game.
Once you have mastered how to navigate (which is easier than it seems) through the scenes and from one scene to another the true fun begins. You have many choices and numerous items you can pick up or not that is entirely up to the player. It is also up to the player where to proceed to and what actions they want to take....if any.
The Devs have a great sense of humor which comes through in almost every scene. You must remember to save the game often (Exit button will bring up the menu to save) as if you should do an action that say - kills you- which I did I can go back in and start from right before I died so I do not have to replay the entire game.
In my opinion this game is what we all have been needing from Big Fish. Aren't you tired of the easy peasy hand holding games? Truly this game is not hard to learn the navigation. Just be patient with yourself and you will figure it out and once you have you are in for a REAL TREAT!
I would have given it more stars except the graphics could have been better BUT that did not detract from the game or the fun I am having.
I recommend this game!

Better Than The Previous Domini Games-But Not Much!

My review is based on 50 minutes of the demo, as that is all I
could make myself play.
could make myself play.
The story line was actually good compared to the games we have been offered by Big Fish lately. However, the tasks are the same as all Domini Games and again they drag out what needs to be done(especially with glue-nails-paint etc).
The voice overs were not up to Domini Standard at least in my opinion. They were usually spot on for that. This one seems to be somewhat slow on delivery.
I again do not feel that this game is CE Quality. They offer the same bling as in each of their games. I find no fun in that. You already know what you will be searching for even for the morphs.
I also do not like when you have an object in your inventory Domini insists are showing us in Large Blue Outlines what we need to complete it. Are we really that dumb? I truly hope not.
Try the demo perhaps you will like it especially if you are new to Big Fish and Domini. I will recommend it but I will not purchase it for the above reasons.
I recommend this game!

Ooh, I get 3 punches, so I am going to purchase this game-NOT!!!
I will say the visuals and sound is very good as are most Domini Games. They also added a few different puzzles in this one so that is a plus. However, they still have the same redundant tasks that are in all of their games. Plus, they have added a new feature which is drawing out each and every task that must be done. When you try the demo you will understand what I mean. I became bored quickly.
They are still using the color purple or fusia or whatever it is called-just not as much as they did. I used to like that color, now I just groan when I see it.

Since Domini is the only kid in BF world I guess we are stuck with it unless we go FISHING elsewhere. Looking for a better pond. It has to be out there somewhere.! Please try the demo before you purchase.
I don't recommend this game.

There should be a warning that if you do not like the colors blue and purple do not play this game because that is about all the colors in this one. The story line is not a bad one but once again we have the SAME tasks as all Domini Games and it became boring very quickly. How may games do I have to use a fork to take nails out? Actually, once I receive something in my inventory in Domini's games I already know what I am going to have to do before I even get to that scene. What happened to their creativity?
The visuals was good. The sound was okay. Some of the dialogue is quite drawn out but you can click through it if you are a fast reader.
The level of challenge was practically nil. The collectables are boring....same old....same old. The HO's were okay but the match 3 is the same in all of their games.
Try it and see what you think....but I have decided I will not recommend this game because as long as we do, nothing will change in the games.
I don't recommend this game.

My review is based on the Demo only as I will not purchase this game. It is slow moving with much to read and long drawn out tasks. When you think you have finished with the task....nope, there is still one or two things you must do just to retrieve whatever it is you need. I felt the voice overs were very poorly done. Very little inflection in the voices and certainly no excitement. The collectables are okay but again no morphing objects or anything to actually hunt for and keep your interest held. Again, I will ask BF to let us use 2 coupons to purchase a CE game. We got them from purchasing CE and BF truly does not have many games that I feel are worth spending money on. They used to. Anyway, try this game and see what you think!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a fun game. Not much challenge but a variety of mini games that would appeal to most anyone. Finding the cats is
fun by itself and add the extras to make it enjoyable. However, no way is this a CE nor does getting three bonus stamps make me want to pay the price (even with the sale) because you can only use the free games to purchase Standard Editions. Why won't Big Fish let us combine 2 free games to purchase CE games? Earning them came from purchasing CE's so what would it hurt them to give us an added incentive? Try the game and see what you think!

My review is based on the demo but I will purchase it as soon as I finish this review. This game is cute and enjoyable. You can play each level over to gain more coins to build a theme park for kids. Oh, What fun that is too. I however just whizzed through each level because I was having so much fun playing the match 3 and wanted to see what was ahead. But I did purchase 3 objects to at least start the theme park, but alas, I did not have enough money to purchase any other items so after I purchase I will slow down and play to earn more coins. They are not difficult to win and the colors are bright and I had no difficulty differentiating between the tiles. The hour literally flew by. I was surprised when the demo ended...which is terrific. It means I was enjoying it so much. Do give it a try I am sure you will enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

If there is a story to this game I missed it! In my opinion this game is very boring and repetitive. I played about 40 minutes of the trial and found no challenge what so ever. The music is nothing to write home about but I could put up with that if this game had some type of challenge to it. Try it perhaps you will enjoy it just to escape if even for a little while. I must say that Big Fish is going down fast with what they are offering these days. It is sad....they used to be at the top and offer fantastic varieties of games which were a joy to play. Now only once in a blue moon or so do we get a good offering from BF. Enjoy
I recommend this game!

This is your usual "Paint By Numbers" game but the end results are textured and nice. There is no challenge as all I did was hold down my mouse and go over the picture to fill in the correct spaces-couldn't make a mistake even when I tried to. You must finish the first set of 8 before you can go deeper into the game, but once you have finished the first 8 pictures you can then do any of the remaining ones, which I found to be nice. The pictures however do not get any more challenging than the 1st and 2nd group. I do recommend this game for beginners or for those who want a truly mindless game. Give it a whirl
I recommend this game!

I for one am not into timers and challenges so I thought this would be a nice relaxing game for me. I like to take my time and enjoy the playing of games but after 10 minutes into the demo it was tedious and monotonous. The intro only has two choices. Listen to it entirely which it is somewhat slow or skip the whole intro. The music was good graphics not bad. Just nothing to keep me playing and enjoying. Try for yourself. I will recommend it as everyone's tastes are different.
