The only plant I can recall seeing in the entire game was an exotic Rafflesia from Africa, but it wasn't an actual listed item. I did, however, search for some really unusual animals from different continents around the globe in some of the most beautiful scenes nature has to offer.
SHAPESHIFTING-MORPHING OBJECTS
Each scene has a hidden Flower Photo and three Morphing Objects that are incredibly well-blended. Not only do they morph at a very slow pace, but they shapeshift into a similar object, making them quite challenging to spot! I have created a Walkthrough Guide for each chapter showing the locations of all the Morphing Objects & photos...contact me on my forum if you are interested in this link!
OBSERVATION
I have played the previous games in this series, and I felt that the scenes in this game were too overcrowded with "filler" objects. I think Tiny Little Lion games should consider removing any objects that aren't related to nature, such as neckties, telephones, stuffed animals, etc., and concentrate on just the Nature part of Nature Escapes.

Welcome back to the Hidden Object genre Brave Giant! This game is similar to Looking For Aliens, but instead of just clicking on objects shown on a list, there are several Crimes to solve by retracing the criminal's steps or timeline.
The detective will explain that a specific crime has been committed with a few details about the location it occurred. You drag (and zoom) the scene around to search for the crime that meets that description. The scenes are all black-and-white drawings, but as you click on things related to the crime, those items are colored in.
After finding the "Crime" the detective will give you tips on where to look next to retrace the steps, such as where the criminal came from or what led up to this crime. You can actually skip this dialog if you want because all tasks are found within a notebook on the bottom right. You can also use the hint feature.
You will earn up to 3 Stars per case depending on the time it took you to solve the case. (You can replay each crime) The stars unlock cases and eventually a Night Mode.
COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
20 Cases, 8 Wallpapers, 19 Achievements, 20 Nightmode levels, 2 Music Soundtracks

A TWISTED MIXTURE OF BINGO IN BIRD PARADISE

If ever a game should win an award for beautiful graphics, Bird Paradise is that game. This game has beauty, originality, variety, and creative imagination...everything we've come to expect from our beloved Mixo Games!
You can choose to play in a Casual Mode (slow animations, more hints, easier gameplay), a Normal Mode (faster bingo balls, fewer hints, more challenge), or an Expert Mode (quick bingo balls, no hints, harder levels) so everyone can enjoy playing at their own pace.
You begin by playing a Hidden Object Scene with creatively placed objects (if you've played Lost Amulets, you will know the style) Some require you to find items listed on paper notes, and others may require finding multiples of the same object or categories in multiples, such as 4 Fruits, and even a Matching Pairs variety. The HO scenes may look simplistic at first glance, but somehow this developer has mastered the art of hiding objects in plain sight! I love that the goal of the HO scenes usually involves finding several Bingo Balls or Black Pearls, and they are a lot harder to spot than you'd think!
After the HO scene, you will play a game of Bingo with a Twist. The goal is to click on the Bingo Balls that match the numbers & colors shown on the Bingo Card(s) before the line of balls reaches the end. At first, you only have to complete one Bingo Card, but as you progress, they throw in multiple cards and which really keeps you on your toes! It sounds simple, but I found the variant of matching symbols to be more challenging than expected. As you progress, Bonus Balls are added to remove color-coded balls, reverse the line direction, or explode a few unwanted balls.
Coins are awarded when balls are removed, but to add another level of challenge, some coins must be clicked on to collect them. The coins can be used to purchase Casino tickets to play various mini-games, such as Solitaire or a Pachinko game; I just wish it had flippers you could use to try to flip the balls back up! Playing the Casino games will allow you to win 4x points! Points are used to help "Support the Island" by restoring things destroyed in a storm.
The CE version has 21 additional Levels, 20 extra Bingo Blitz games, 20 extra Infinite Matching Fun games, 20 extra Solitaire Games, a Casino game section, Show Introduction Movie, Art Gallery, 7 Music Soundtracks, and Collectibles (in several categories)

If you like Hidden Object Games, this is a really enjoyable game! There are no timers or combo meters; therefore, no pressure, yet it still presents a decent amount of challenge. It has a bit of a story about a Detective Agency that finds lost or missing items, above-average graphics, fun features, and a ton of variety. I was a fan of the first Detective Agency: Grey Tie game, and I bought the CE version at a fraction of the price elsewhere. (under 3 bucks!) I like the retro vibe, and the mini-games are better than those offered in some of the big HOPAs lately.
Each scene has a Lost Item to find with a pull-out tab on the right side. Most of the scenes have 3 bonus items to find via Silhouetted Shapes, and the raccoon has returned as well.
The Hidden Object Scenes vary with Listed Items, Silhouetted Shapes, Logically Related Pairs, Swatches, Multiples of the same object, Find & Replace, and even Descriptive Finds. Items in Pink are hidden in or behind other objects; items in Green require a task to be completed. You will earn a Red Star for completing the location, a Blue Star when you find the Raccoon and Silhouetted objects, and a Gold Star if you find the Lost & Found Item as well.
Unfortunately, there are several mislabeled or oddly named items which, for me, dragged down the "likeability" a bit. An hourglass was referred to as a Sand Glass, Yoghurt (which is the British version of yogurt), a wallet is referred to as a purse, and I have no idea what a Log Store is??? There was one scene that listed Crow x3, the first two were actual crows, and the third was listed in pink and ended up being a bell??? Obviously, the developer is trying to rely on a simple Russian-to-English translation program, probably a free Google version! (contact me, Avi, this is what I do!)
COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
12 Wallpapers, 20 Music Soundtracks w/player, 8 Bonus Levels, 8 Bonus Puzzles, 12 Extra Puzzle Games, a Hidden Raccoon in every HO scene, 3 Silhouetted Shape Finds per scene, and 1 Lost & Found Object per scene.

Domini Games, Do Games, Relaxgames (I can't keep up with their name changes!) are sinking fast at this point. Royal Romances: Endless Winter doesn't qualify as a HOPA, at least not a HOPA that you'd expect coming from a developer who was once known for top-notched games.
The first thing you'll notice is that the CE content has been slashed! There are only 8 Replayable Mini-games and 9 replayable Hidden Object Scenes. The Collectibles are slashed to the bare minimum too. There are only 10 Ice-Stained Glass pieces (which are mistakenly referred to as Dragon Eggs) There are only 10 Magical Amulets and a whole slew of Sun Amulet coins (which are mistakenly referred to as Dragon Scales at one point) The Sun Amulet coins are in just about every zoom zone, yet there are only 10 items to purchase in the Boudoir. Another developer who has changed their motto to "Less IS More, Take It Or Leave It."
The next thing you'll notice is that the Hidden Object Scenes are abundant. Another reviewer stated that this game was more like an Adventure game with HO aspects...That's simply not the case! The storyline is a basic F2P plot that is typically seen in simplistic HOGs. The "plot" is not the focal point here! The HO scenes are short and generic...the same style as offered in the Connection of Hearts and Secrets of Worlds...both of which have tanked and received an astounding number of 1-star reviews.
The biggest change you will notice is that you have to earn stars to make "Decisions" Supposedly, you will make 11 decisions per episode. Your decisions will lead to one of three endings, depending on the accumulated decisions made. This COULD be a cool feature if the choices made impacted the plot's flow from one path to another, metaphorically speaking. Nope, instead, you choose between harming a leopard with magic or chasing him away with magic...what kind of twisted choice is that?
Clearly, Domini-Do-Relaxgames is either going through a change of ownership, or they want to get out of a contract that isn't sustainable. Either way, "we the player" are getting Royally screwed.
I have played a ton of Free 2 Play HOPA games over the years, and this game is no different than those free versions...only this one cost money, a lot of money! How is this different than the last Connection of Worlds game offered last week?

Square Words is a game that requires you to make themed words from various-sized grids of letters. You can create words horizontally, vertically, and diagonally; in most cases it's a combination of all 3 directions.
There are four categories, Vacation, Beach, Camping, and Beach. Each category has three Easy 3x3 grids, three Medium 4x4 grids, and three Hard 4x4 grids. (The words do seem to change each time you replay) There is also a Daily Game and a Mixed 6x6 category in a Very Hard mode.
At the bottom of the grid are several blank squares of varying amounts. It's up to you to figure out individual words related to the current category. The tricky part is that some words may have different directional possibilities so even though the word may be correct, it's possible that you chose the wrong directional path because it may leave letters on outer edges that can't be connected.

The tricky part is that some words may have different directional possibilities so even though the word may be correct, it's possible that you chose the wrong directional path because it may leave letters on outer edges that can't be connected.
There are two different Hint types. The first hint fills in the first letter of one word. The second type gives you the correct word, but it's still up to you to figure out the directional path. Additional Hints can be earned by playing the Daily Game or completing Achievement Stamp objectives. You will earn 1 hint per objective, such as completing one Daily Grid game. Word Hints are earned when you complete three objectives. You can also "catch" a hint by clicking on a star that pops down from the top of the main screen (which is also an achievement x5)
I'd love to have a "Freeplay" section where you could search for random words, to try to find as many words as possible or to meet objectives such as finding a 3-letter word, a four-letter word, a five-letter word, a six-letter word, etc.
I can't help feeling empathy for developers lately who count on getting a full day in the limelight when their games are released on BF when BF can't seem to figure out how to post games until after 12 pm!

MORE CHALLENGING & SCENES THAT ARE MORE INTERESTING THAN PREVIOUS GAMES

I must admit, some of the objects in this game were fairly well hidden which hasn't been the case in the previous versions. Most, not all of the scenes, were more interesting too. I loved the Columbus Zoo scene with all the animals because that was more interesting to me personally than finding ropes, baseball bats, gloves, and binoculars. It makes you wonder why no one ever develops a game about local zoos.
The levels vary with HO modes: Standard Listed Items mode, Picture mode, Silhouetted Shapes mode, Missing Vowels mode, Riddled Description mode, Scrambled Letter mode, and Matching Pairs mode. There are a couple of Morphing Objects in every scene and two Interactive Tasks per scene, such as "Put the Ribbon on the Box."
Each Hidden Object Scene has a Hidden Key that unlocks a scene-related Fun Fact. If desired, you can replay levels, in various modes, to get a new fun fact (5 keys/fun facts per location). Each scene also has a collectible Star that will unlock that specific level in the Unlimited Play mode.
After playing three Hidden Object Scenes, a mini-game becomes available, such as placing shaped puzzle fragments, Swapping & Rotating tiles between scenes, Word Search, or a Paint-by-Numbers variation where you swipe the scene to reveal a black & white sketch, and then you click on each section to color it in by dragging the cursor. When you complete a mini-game in the campaign, it will unlock the game in the Photo Journal.
COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
38 Hidden Object Levels, 12 Bonus Levels, 6 Exclusive HO scenes, 13 Achievements, 15 Wallpapers, 14 Music Soundtracks, 50 Re-playable Subgames, 5 Fun Facts per level (as you find hidden Keys), an Unlimited Play Mode (each HO scene becomes available to replay as you find hidden Stars)

I would like to see the popup windows be less intrusive. Having a popup window for the Fun Facts is okay, but it gets a bit annoying when you have to click the Collectible Star popup and then the Achievement popup afterward. Can't those just be a small sliding window box that informs you of the milestone? (one that goes away after a second or two on its own)

This is a beautiful HOG filled not just with adorable cats and pups in every scene, but with tons of flora & fauna of every shape and size. The graphics are crystal clear with all kinds of animal-related features.
There are 18 Chapter "Destinations" (+8 Bonus Chapters) that consist of a main Hidden Object Game, and two subgames, such as Spot The Differences, or Shaped Jigsaw Puzzles.
There are 18 Chapter "Destinations" (+8 Bonus Chapters) that consist of a main Hidden Object Game, and two subgames, such as Spot The Differences, or Shaped Jigsaw Puzzles.
There are 16 Dogs & Cats in each main HO level, and 3 in the subgame (not available in the Jigsaws) that allow you to Adopt 20 Cats & Pups. There are 3 Morphing Butterflies in the Main HO levels that allow you to "Release Butterflies" in the form of a puzzle with round pieces. (24 total)
There are no Timers or Misclick penalties but you will earn more points for making fast consecutive finds (Combo x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6) and you'll earn more points if you don't use the Hint feature. Even though you aren't racing against the clock, you will earn a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Star depending on how many points you earn, so making combos is vital.
GOLD STAR TIP: Take your time and find all the cats, pups, and morphing butterflies first (including in the Zoom Zone) Once those have been found, scan the scene to locate items and when you are familiar with most of the item locations, click them consecutively to push the combo meter to the maximum and you will earn the Gold Star.
After completing the game, you will unlock 5 Color By Pixel bonus games!
(CE version)

My only suggestion would be that the developer adds a Relaxed option that awards a Gold Star for completing the game without the stress of a combo meter...and I still think they need either a Hint button for the collectibles & Morph locations or a Strategy Guide, at least in the CE version.

RELAX & PAY A DOMINI HOG

I have a feeling that Domini Games abandoned ship and sold to Relaxgames. It's possible they just sold out the HOG division, but more than likely, Domini couldn't keep up the pace of releasing two HOPA games every week. (and who could blame them?) Everyone noticed their decline; they went from "Oh wow, a new Domini Game!" to "Oh no, another Domini Game" as they released a ton of cookie-cutter games, back-to-back. If you played any of their new releases without reading the title, you probably couldn't tell which series the game belonged to because they are all basically the same game with the same MO.
As for Connection of Worlds, if you like HOGs, I see no reason why you wouldn't love this game because it is a high-quality game with amazing graphics and flawless game mechanics. Although it doesn't have a HOPA kind of story, it does have a storyline, which is usually MIA in most simple HOGs. The Mini-games are no different than they offer in a HOPA and leaps & bounds better than any other basic HOG offered nowadays! It even has Collectibles and a Strategy Guide that shows their location.
The problem is that it's not the typical HOPA game that we have come to expect from Domini and Big Fish. If a different, non-HOPA developer offered this exact game, I'm pretty sure it would get better ratings because no one would be expecting a Hidden Object Puzzle Game from them...which is probably why Domini Games chose to change their name!
The problem is that BF is requiring developers to release games at a pace that clearly isn't sustainable. The result is that we get the same games in the same series by the same developers, over and over. Developers eventually lose their mojo and desire to create or imagine because they are too busy trying to fulfill contract quotas.
Here is what they refuse to factor into this equation...Big Fish truly believes that we want quantity over quality. They believe that the HOPA market has dwindled because of poor ratings and sales, especially when compared to sales from the birth era of the HOPA craze. BF fails to recognize that they have forced developers to cut corners to keep up with unrealistic contract demands.
BF refuses to believe that HOPA fans still exist! We haven't gone anywhere; we are right HERE, and we want to spend our money on your games! We haven't lost interest in the genre; we've just lost interest in THESE easy-breezy, cookie-cutter games that have absolutely no challenge whatsoever.
How many of you have replayed older HOPAs multiple times from your library? I know I do!
Those older games never locked previous scenes behind you and limited you to three scenes at a time. We had to roam every scene location from start to finish and try to remember where we saw a clue, a task, or an area that required the tool you just stumbled across. Heck, trying to remember where you saw something, traveling back and forth through multiple scenes to find secret passages, and jumping through hoops was the greatest challenge of all. Nowadays, it's impossible to get lost, and even more impossible NOT to know exactly what inventory item goes where because there are only 2-3 scenes open at a time; oftentimes you'll find and use an item in the same scene!...No wonder why we have lost interest in this type of gameplay!
But, instead of putting on the brakes and going back to the drawing board, BF keeps pushing the same narrative of quantity over quality. They won't even try to test this theory by giving the reins back to a HOPA developer and allowing them to make a creative game with features we loved. All it would take is ONE incredible HOPA with Dire Grove kind of features and gameplay to prove that HOPA fans still exist. If I had to pay a few extra bucks for a "Golden Edition" quality game, I'd gladly do so. I'd rather have one amazing HOPA per month than 4 boring, cookie-cutter games.
The bottom line is that I don't blame the developer for switching over to simple HOG games; they have to be exhausted, and they have to be as bored with their games as we are. BF is obviously asking the wrong questions to the wrong people and the developers suffer because of it. In fact, we are all victims! I can't imagine that BF is pulling in anywhere near the sales that they were when HOPAs were first created...and that fact should speak volumes.

I just got back from a wonderful vacation on Myrtle Beach and it looks like there have been some decent games this past couple of weeks, including Just Find It 2!
I LOVE the hidden Lion mascot available in some of the scenes. They are really fun to search for because each one is slightly different. Scenes with a hidden Lion will have a Lion Icon on the right side.
There are seven categories:
•Click To Cycle (4)-click on various shaped pieces to create the correct picture.
•Difference (28)-spot the differences between two or more scenes.
•Detail (17)-search for areas in each scene that matches the swatch.
•Match (6)-find identical pairs of various objects. (Butterflies was my fav!)
•Memory (2)-flip over two cards at a time to find matching pictures (would love more of these!)
•Montage(9)-find objects that match a portion of the image.
•Swap (9)-swap shaped pieces between images.
•Click To Cycle (4)-click on various shaped pieces to create the correct picture.
•Difference (28)-spot the differences between two or more scenes.
•Detail (17)-search for areas in each scene that matches the swatch.
•Match (6)-find identical pairs of various objects. (Butterflies was my fav!)
•Memory (2)-flip over two cards at a time to find matching pictures (would love more of these!)
•Montage(9)-find objects that match a portion of the image.
•Swap (9)-swap shaped pieces between images.
Collector's Edition Extras:
