This actually would be a good game for kids to play. The game play is very slow as are the conversations (which there are many) through out the game. My review is based on the Demo only as I will not purchase it at full price or with my credits due to the slow boring parts of the game. The story line is intriguing and if the Dev would have added some excitement in this I would purchase. Give it a try and see what you think. I will recommend it. We all have different tastes.
I recommend this game!

What to say about this game. Oh my, I lasted a very long 30 minutes, hoping the game play would improve-which it didn't. To me it was boring and very drawn out. The graphics are not bad but many items are on the small side. After the 30 minutes I still am not sure what the plot or story line is. I also do not understand why developers-especially Domini-thinks that we enjoy picking up coins to decorate. I truly do not understand the purpose of this. I would much rather have a morphing object or something to keep me entertained. Please try the Demo before you buy.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow, the dev's just keep giving us less and less for our hard earned cash. This game has no morphs and very few collectables. Morphs and collectables are what to me makes a game CE worthy. Also, too many long, drawn out tasks. What could be done in 30 seconds takes 2 to 3 minutes to complete because they make you do each tiny little step. It is very boring and tedious. To me the entire time I played, which was about 30 minutes, was slow and boring. Try the demo and hopefully you will feel different that I do.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow, This game is a winner all the way around. There is such creativeness in each and every feature. The story line is something I could not have imagined. The HO's are completely different than what we have seen in other games. The puzzles are varied and quite different and so much fun. The sense of humor is very entertaining and delightful. The graphics are excellent as usual for Domini Games. The morphing objects are well hidden as are the collectables. I will play this game again, and again. I LOVE IT. Give it a try you will be delighted.

I played the entire demo and do not feel inclined to purchase. The story line is a good one had they just tweeked it a bit. The characters were not very interesting and at times they seem cartoonish. Most of the tasks are the same as all Domini games, which is boring. The demo did make me want to know more, but the game was just too slow with a lot useless dialogue for me to purchase it. Try the demo and see what you think.
I recommend this game!

Since I have never played a game like this before and it is new to me I am really enjoying it. I almost passed on trying the Demo until I checked it out. Wow, so glad I did. To me the level of challenge is good because I am learning as I go along. Once I have perfected it I will play again in the harder mode, but for now this is a nice easy enjoyable game. The music must be good because it did not interfere with my concentration(such as it is)lol. It is a most relaxing game. Give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Oh, a new series "Finally". I must give Elephant Games credit for coming up with a new series. Based on the game play for this game, I do believe that the next installment will show much improvement in certain areas. The game is a good one but it is a bit slow and parts of it are not really explained. I still do not know what is up the the bees. And I must say the buzzing bee of a hint button is most distracting. However, I found that the collectables are well hidden the graphics are very good and YAY no purple! I was disappointed that there were not any morphing objects. I love morphs and for me it is much fun finding them. The HO's were good with well placed items which took some time for me to find .. The puzzles were a mixture of easy and medium, which is good because they are not frustrating. Give this game a try and see what you think
I recommend this game!

Ugh! Where Domini Games always excel in their Graphics and illustrations in my opinion they need to come up with new ideas for their tasks. They have the same variation of tasks in each of their games and so much back and forth to make the game longer, which is not what I for one want in a game. Going back and forth just to pickup one item is tedious. I do like the story line but they do have some really dumb things happening. When have you ever seen a crow pick your car keys out of you hand and fly away with them? The HO's are exceptionally easy. I did not even have to look at the lists to know what to click on. That is a bummer. This is not a bad game and it will pass some time playing it. I just think Domini could spend more time working on one GREAT game instead of cranking out so many MEDIUM games. Try the Demo.
I recommend this game!

Wow, is my first thought for this game. It truly has it all. I have to admit I have not played all of the MCF games, but I have played and own quite a few. Grandma has brought this series back to life. I am about 3/4 of the way through and I had to stop to submit this review. They have brought the previous characters to life in this game. The puzzles are fun. Some are more difficult than others as it should be. The HOP's are clear as are the morphs and collectables. The story line certainly is holding my interest. I cannot wait to get back to the rest of the game. I do not agree that MCF should be held to a higher standard "just because it is an MCF" but I will say this game is of a very high standard. Much more so than many of the previous MCF games. Give it a try and I am sure you will be amazed.
I recommend this game!

Well, this in my opinion is just an okay game. Not great. But not the worst of games. Yes, it starts out easy and progressively gets harder. But there is no replay value to it as each puzzle is the same throughout the game. It actually was fun at the beginning but then it just got boring. It does have multiple choices for the topics of the word games but that is about the extent of the choices, other than easy, medium, or hard. Try the demo and see what you think.
I recommend this game!
