(Or try to) Player must anticipate moves of these cats trying to escape and block them by planting bushes. Simple at first; challenge becomes more difficult as the game progresses. Good game for young players as no reading is required.

Most exciting game traveling through tunnnels, overcoming obstacles, destroying monsters. Simple Bombs, Rockets, and Smart Bombs provided to fight the monsters. Some levels require trying over and over before success, so that the player gets real satisfaction to see "You Made It" flash on the screen. There are 150 levels! After the more difficult levels, the player often finds an easier one for a break from the frantic action required. I made if to level 123 before being stumped. Would be nice if possible to skip a level. Nevertheless, I'll be back!
I recommend this game!

I loved the original Cave Quest and was delighted to Beta-Test Cave Quest 2. Both offer a welcome change from the usual Match 3, with different "quests" that must be accomplished after mastering the crawl through various caves. I hope Cave Quest 2 will be available for purchase soon.

As a female senior citizen, I found this challenging game to be a refreshing change from the usual offerings at Big Fish. It reminds me somewhat of a game from the 90's, "Mystic Towers," another looking down from the top format, with various monsters and multiple weapons with which to fight them. Although that game took the player up close and personal with the old Baron and the fantastic monsters, Book of Demons presents more remote combat situations in exciting detail. There's no bothersome inventory of armor or weapons to carry around as in some RPG games, and at the top margin are icons to return the player back to town without having to backtrack through all the rooms already played. There's also a map to help the player keep track of the layout of the Cathedral.
What I like about games of this sort is the way they stimulate the brain, helping people of my age group to avoid what I call "brain rot," which is a serious concern for some of us.
The time for the demo ran out before I expected. It will definitely be on my list to purchase soon.
I recommend this game!

Ozzy Bubbles is just like the old time platform games I used to play. There are other platform games offered at Big Fish, but Ozzy can do more than jump on monster fish - he can shoot them with bubbles, which makes it much more exciting. All sorts of bonuses appear to help out: high jump, triple bubbles, immunity, power ups, and many others. The first few levels could be considered training levels, to practice jumping and shooting, earn extra lives and study enemy movements and tactics.. I would really love to see more run, jump and shoot games like Ozzy Bubbles!
Playing this game was so much fun that I immediately started over from the beginning and played it all the way through a second time.
I recommend this game!

Having bought this game, along with Ghost of Thornton Hall from the original producers, and having paid $5.99 in addition as insurance, I was dismayed to find that neither game would run, as coincidentally (?) the five-year insured term had run out. Free downloads to replace the games were unavailable.
What a loss! Nancy Drew mysteries are unmatched for excellence when it comes to story, graphics, characters and challenge. In Phantom of Venice, Nancy proves as usual to be a fearless investigator, dealing with a fascinating range of characters, including an anonymous rival whose identity is revealed in the game's conclusion. Nancy doesn't shy away from the varied dangerous activities involved in tracking the villain known as The Phantom.
Adding to the fun is searching the different locations for spare Euros to help pay for snacks and gondola trips around the city. Highlights include dancing at a music show and sneaking around a lab monitored by robotic cameras, and especially, joining in a police stakeout.
Now that both the games I lost are offered by Big Fish, I can recover them. Thank you, Big Fish, for offering these games for sale.
I recommend this game!

Had enough of HOG and tedious platformers that have you hopping endlessly from platform to platform in predictable gameplay? Here is the game you've been waiting for. (I was, anyway.)
Although Beetle Bug 2 is similar to Rabbit's Magic Adventures, I found the game to be much more enjoyable. I never finished RMA because I couldn't figure out how to destroy the monsters. BB2 is just as challenging (you will weep and gnash your teeth on some levels) but weapons are easier to manage and include such items as rocks, water bubbles and what I call Jelly Monsters that occur incidentally in the game. There's something that compels you to go back and try, try again, just to hear those monsters yelp when you score a hit and to collect the sweet baby beetles they had kidnapped. I thought I would never get past level 22, let alone reach level 101, but reading the "info" signs along the way and reading other helpful hints but most importantly, analyzing the level to figure out how to get those monsters, I beat all the levels. Actually, I counted only 100 levels; maybe the final level counted as two.
I highly recommend this game!

Head and Shoulders above the rest, as others have already affirmed in their reviews. This is the only Adventure Game I've played which included a "Making Of" feature. It was a delight to see the people behind "King Solomon's Crown," and to recognize them as models for human characters in the story. It was rewarding to find HOS that were innovative, especially since I have a low tolerance for most HOS. Buying the Collector's Edition is truly worthwhile, because there are so many "Extras" to extend the playing experience. This is truly an amazing game.
I recommend this game!

What I found frustrating was (1) Losing my progress (score) when needing to exit the game; (2) Having to start a level over from the beginning on losing a life; (3) Having enemies climb out of their holes - standing on them doesn't eliminate them as the tutor states - they simply reappear in their original positions. I don't remember having these problems in the original Snowy Treasures. I bought ST2 because the original was so much fun; it involved logic and puzzles and not just outrunning enemies. The problems listed above seriously interfere with the fun factor on ST2 and it's a shame because the concept, visual/sound and storyline are all excellent. If you don't find these factors as annoying as I do, then you would likely enjoy the game.
I recommend this game!
