This is another fantastic Dark Parables, with a bit of a twist on Jack And The Beanstalk, in true DP fashion, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Jack is all grown up in this rendition, still a thief by nature with a bit of attitude toward the residents of a newly fallen Sky Kingdom. There are 20 cursed objects and some are difficult to spot because they morph slowly. As with all the Dark Parables you will get to collect 1-4 of each "Parable" which will give you the story of that Parable when all 4 are collected. The HOS are actually fragmented pieces and once all of the pieces are found they will join together to form a complete item. One of my favorite mini games was a fairytale stage with Jack and several items that had to be manipulated to complete the story such as picking apples and making butterflies fly to the Sky Kingdom. I own every DP game and will absolutely add this gem to my collection, enjoy!

If you like one scene after another of list find hidden object scenes then you're going to love this game. Each scene has a hidden scroll not on the list to find and several items to look for in each scene, some of which are very well hidden. Some scenes can be scrolled back and forth, others are just that current scene. Points are given for each item found and you earn more points for finding items quickly or finding more than one item in a row when there are several to find such as 4 brown leaves. Points are deducted for misclicks and using the hint feature, enjoy!

I didn't think I was going to like this game, but it turns out it gets a bit addicting. You have to guide your mouse character through obstacles gathering coins, health, weapons, phones etc. by jumping and climbing and even falling. There are mutant plants and bugs all over the place and you can destroy them by jumping on them or using weapons. You can replay any of the levels over again in order to achieve 3 stars for that level. Nice game, enjoy!

Although this story has been done many times before, I must say they have done an excellent job with creepy on this one. When I first started this game I thought there wasn't going to be anything special about it. Andrea has suddenly gone into a coma and Mom agrees to enter her scary little world and try to replace her memories with good memories. To accomplish this feat, the good Doctor has a scanner that can scan pictures and items into her brain waves. This game also has a unique feature that allows you to go back and forth between reality and coma world. Some items can be joined together and will only be indicated by a plus sign on casual setting. In my opinion this game is a sleeper creeper, starts out slow but draws you in and holds your attention, enjoy!

This is a HdO game where you have to move the screen around and zoom in to find the required items. The items are tiny even when you can zoom in and the last few items are hidden away and you have to see the sparkles in order to know what to click on. The story has potential but the times inbetween are just too slow moving. If you don a pair of glasses and stick to the game it might pick up.
I don't recommend this game.

I love this match 3 game. There are lot's of colorful gems, and it reminds me a lot of Candy Crush. You must complete the level goals in a certain amount of moves. There are a limited amount of lives you receive before having to purchase more and bonuses can be purchased as well. You can replay levels if you want to try to earn all 3 gold stars for any particular level. The graphics are HD quality, just an overall fun match 3 game, enjoy!

It's hard to keep TM games new and fresh, there's only so many resources, food and gold tasks you can come up with, right? I really thought this game did a great job of trying to think outside the box with a floating island and a goal of collecting giant fruit to appease the gorilla who kidnapped the Princess. There are also the usual tasks of building farms and sawmills, and gathering food and resources, clearing paths etc. and you must complete the level before the sun goes down. There are bonuses that speed up workers and give you 3 random resources such as gold. I enjoyed this TM game.

This is kind of a hard game to describe, it's different. In each scene there are a number of tasks at hand. You need to find hidden crystals in each scene in order to earn pieces of your map which will then allow you to jump quickly between scenes. There are several groups of hidden items for instance, you might need to find a rake, a hoe, and a spade, a picture of the items will show up in a circle and you need to find all of the items before you can add that item to your inventory. The graphics were basic and plain but all in all it is a nice and relaxing game, enjoy!

I was really surprised by the simplicity of this game, it just goes to show you that you don't have to have players jump through hoops to make the game enjoyable. There are only two modes of difficulty and the casual setting will have so many glints that you'll want to wear sunglasses. This is a love triangle, murder whodunit and the devs have done a nice job with the suspense factor, hopefully all the way to the end of the game. There are just the right amount of hidden object scenes and they are just simple list finds. The mini games are easy, some a little time consuming such as placing colored marbles in the correct color coded pie shaped grid by turning one disc at a time and placing a marble in the free spot in order to shift the marbles to inner and outer rings. This game isn't going to woo you with collectibles and morphs and your not going to win an eagle eye achievement, but you will get to find out whodunit!
I recommend this game!

You have been helping your Uncle build a replica of an ancient portal, but you don't know how to activate it. A strange dream that your Uncle is in trouble has you panic stricken so you travel through the night to make sure he's okay. You arrive too late, he's already learned how to activate the portal, even worse, he went alone and now you must enter the portal and try to find him in a strange hostel world. I haven't changed my mind, I still think this is an awesome game but I will admit I like all the goodies of the CE better. You will find an artifact that will help you during your travels with lighting up entire rooms or making plants grow faster and as you find new elements, they will automatically update your artifact. The HOS are a nice mixture of interactive list finds as well as finding items that look like the picture and find 12 of the same items. There are a lot of unusual mini games such as a pic cross game with tiles as well as some standard puzzles, moving horizontal stones right and left to achieve a picture of a phoenix bird on a pillar but when you move one tile, others move as well. I love the theme of traveling through an alien world and in my opinion this is a very entertaining game, enjoy!
