My kids and I LOVED playing this game! They're 4 and 5, and both of them had a great time following Putt-Putt as he saves the zoo animals.
I really enjoyed how there was a bit of a challenge there for my little ones -- they really had to think through all the fun little games! It was adorable watching them try to figure it out without mommy's help :)
Overall, I think this is a wonderful game with kid-friendly graphics and an enjoyable storyline. Would recommend to parents with young children looking for a game to pass the time and bond together!

Where do I begin?! This Hidden Object game is both interesting and beautiful. I used all 60 minutes of my demo! ^^;;
The storyline is really interesting-- you'll be left wanting more at the end of your demo (unless you buy it, which I recommend doing)! Also, the graphics are pretty creepy-- in a good way, of course. It gives you an eerie feeling, which I think they were going for!
Gameplay is simple. Like most hidden object games, the objects are pretty hard to find! (But nothing out of the ordinary of course; and if you're a veteran to hidden object games this will be your cup of tea!)
No problems here-- this is an all-around great game that has a pleasantly creepy storyline and beautiful graphics! c:

It may be pointless, but Jar of Marbles is a surprisingly fun game! The gameplay is simplistic -- you're either trying to clear out a jar of marbles, or you're spending as much time as you want to just wind down and drop marbles in a jar.
Speaking of marbles-- there are lots of different marbles to choose from! It's not just your basic-rainbow; rather, there are cosmic-type marbles, fun-type marbles (smiley faces, the Earth), and a whole variety!
This is a different take on Match-3 games that is pointless, since there's no real story line, but if you're looking for a fun laid-back game, then this is the way to go. :)

I'm at a loss for words.
Right off the bat I notice how the text used for dialogue and the hidden objects are just a bit hard to read. Not only are the words in yellow, which doesn't really match the vibe I'm trying to get (i think it should be at least a darker color -- this is a vampire game), but it seems that the font used in the hidden object game is similar to comic sans? Which barely looks professional, ever. (Also, one of the items I was looking for was apparently a 'ladybird', which was really a ladybug. Good thing there are hints, right?)
Also, I got stuck within the first ten minutes of the game. After finding the lantern (and the prior objects), I went back down to the basement to find that I needed matches. After scouring the entirety of the mansion area and dragging my cursor around everywhere, I decided to give up.
I think this could be a good game. The storyline is a bit unapparent at first, and the text fonts & colors are hard to read, but with some work I think this could do better.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is fantastic! Whenever I just need to wind down and relax with a nice casual game, Puppy Sanctuary is the way to go.
There's nothing about this game I don't like -- the visuals are great, the game-play is nice and simple (especially if you play on relaxed mode w/ no time limit like I did), and not to mention how cute the puppies are!!
Despite all the match-3 games out there, this one definitely takes the cake. So if you're looking for a cute game that won't overwhelm you, I highly recommend this one! c:

This game had a lot of potential and, most of the time, it delivered. I enjoyed the challenge of figuring out what to do next, although sometimes the path wasn't very clear. The storyline was a bit typical...girlfriend needs to save boyfriend from something sinister and terrible...but I have seen worse. There were lots of scenes with some very creepy visuals (the spider web face being one of the best!) and overall, the game kept me engaged from start to finish!

I loved the first Tales of Lagoona so much that when I saw there was a new one, I could hardly wait to play! And I wasn't disappointed!
This new installment involves a charming old amusement park on the brink of closure, but you have arrived just in time to help bring it back to life. There are new characters to interact with, as well as a few favorites from the first game but the biggest improvement was with the quests. They are more interesting and better-written than in the first game and completing them will unlock upgrades for the amusement park! Looking for these extra items while playing the beautiful new scenes really made the game so much more interesting.
Also, you can collect any food items that you see in any scene you play to use as...FOOD FOR YOUR SEA PONIES! Different foods have different effects on them and it was really fun to play around with it. Yet another really cool addition to a game that's already full of things to do!
I have played an hour and feel like I have barely scratched the surface which is a refreshing change from the 2-hour throwaways that seem run rampant these days! So, kudos to Tales of Lagoona 2!
I recommend this game!

Who knew tofu would turn you into a zombie??? The developers of this game obviously did! They took the idea of the zombie apocalypse and used their braaaaaiiiiiinnnns to merge it with solitaire. And it's a ton of fun!
On the positive side, the game looks great and the storyline is funny and immersive. At the beginning of each level set (ingeniously tied to your escape plan map) you have to solve a quick little adventure puzzle and this alone kept me playing, wanting to see what the next adventure would be.
On the negative side, the levels play through pretty quickly and after 60 minutes, I had played through 30 of what looked like probably 100ish total levels. I'm hoping they get more challenging as the game goes along, but with the powerful extra cards you can buy, you can make quick work of most of the game.
But overall, a must for any zombie fan! Tofu, anyone???
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed the first installment of the Chronicles of Albian, so I was more than excited to find the sequel!
The storyline was fantastic...tons of wacky characters, interesting quests and challenging puzzles. A variety of scenes kept the game fresh and entertaining.
A nice added bonus is the Seek & Sprint mode. You are given a certain amount of time to find objects throughout many of the scenes. Not only was it fun to revisit the scenes from the game, it was challenging too!
The Fairy Godmother, Gwendolyn, needs you to repair and upgrade Albian Castle for the Convention of Magic Masters!

After reading the reviews of how challenging the scenes were in this game, I just had to try it.
I have to agree with the other reviewers, for the most part. The scenes are stunning looking and the items all blend in very well with their environment, offering much more of a challenge that the majority of HOGs out there. However, there are extra hint wands hidden ALL OVER THE PLACE and, if you wait long enough, an item will glow, showing you where it is.
But, all in all, it still had an engaging story, beautiful scenes (that can also be unlocked to use as wallpaper), and some interesting puzzles. Each scene led so perfectly into the next that it was hard to find a good stopping spot!
So, if you're looking for a challenge and a magical, fairy tale storyline, the Chronicles of Albian is for you!
I recommend this game!
