The developer of this game was trying new things. It may not always work, but I applaud the effort. There was enough different in the game and I really like it after playing the demo and will purchase.
The art and coloring are different and enhance the creepy factor. Sometimes a bit dark so I adjusted my monitor and now it's perfect for me. Regrettably, I must play on a very easy casual mode (Hard mode is impossible). Yet, I'm liking this game. The use of the inventory items and hidden object areas are far from the norm. Heck, I like that, too. Absolutely love the Granny Slayer. It's just a creepy, easy game with enough different features for my enjoyment.
The heroine talks too much but, thankfully, you have an option to control voice. I just turned it down so I could hear the conversations between heroine and Granny.
Only saw the werewolf a couple of times in the demo but it was well done. Reminded me of The Howling.
The game could have used an intermediate level of difficulty. I would have rated 5 stars for a level with no sparkles and only indicators when the mouse moved over particular areas or objects of interest and a less talkative heroine.
I recommend this game!

From the developers of Nightmares from the Deep comes another great undersea adventure. From the opening scenes to the end of the demo I was captivated. It's just plain fun. Great art, color, sound effects, fun mini games and HOS that are well done - no junk piles so far. If you don't like HOS you have the option of playing dominoes. I'm off to buy the game and support a deserving developer. Well done, guys.
I recommend this game!

I've just discovered this game today for $2.99. I so enjoy a really good platform game. There are so few of them. Our hero, Turtix, is on a mission to save baby turtles and retrieve pieces of an amulet that he accidentally scattered around the islands. The art, color and designs are gorgeous. Very vivid.
It's not as easy as it first appears. Like all good games, it becomes more difficult with each level. You do have to use a lot of brain power to figure out how to open all secret areas and gather all the jewels.
It's a buy today for $2.99. I would have paid $6.99 when this first came out a few years ago had I known about it. Well, I'm off to buy and also download Turtix 2.
I recommend this game!

Delight is the correct word for this fun brain teaser. Not only is it challenging to connect the hands, but it's such fun. I love the happy sounds the Peablins make when they're all happy. Heck, I like all the sounds in this games. The bright colors make you feel happy. Okay, maybe not happy but there is a good feeling to seeing bright and warm colors. This is a game for the young as well as older. It becomes more difficult as you progress.
Also, it' s the perfect game for an escape from all the Hidden Object Games. I love the hidden object games but sometimes you just need a break from the "sameness" of them. This is that game. I hope you try it and like it.
I recommend this game!

Thanks to the great reviews here, I almost missed this game. It's funny. It's bright. It's beautifully voiced. The hero is trying to find the light "thingy" pieces so the princess won't have to marry an evil, but rich man. Think Abbot and Costello. Somehow, no matter what Lou Costello did, he'd always land on his feet. The game had me laughing out loud.
It is a bit short, but I thought it was worth every penny. I played on easy mode and now will play on the advanced mode.
Big shocker. . .I played the demo twice before buying. The demo doesn't totally shut down after playing. You can replay under another name. The replay value is why I purchased the #what I knew to be a short# game.
Please, Developer, make more like this, but longer.
I recommend this game!
