Such an excellent game for those people who want to relax with great graphics, pretty scenes, achievable puzzles and a feel-good factor. Probably won't appeal to lovers of action or serious puzzle games but it's a big fat YES from me!
I really especially enjoyed this Twistingo episode because it was a little more varied and not quite as focused on the numbered ball challenges. The soundtrack is lovely and who wouldn't want to set out on a quest to save hummingbirds in a wonderful tropical location?

That's it, Christmas is almost here. I know because once this game arrives it's the countdown for me. That old familiar music, and all those characters we've come to know and love over the years. This is a tradition now, and you can say it's the same thing, over and over if you wish, but for me it always has, and always will, signal the start of the holiday season. Thanks for this latest episode, I just love it!

... except maybe that famous and favourite game which usually gets released just ahead of Christmas every year. But this sort of genre of game is always welcome. No silly story line, no monsters, ghosts or ghouls, no endessly hunting for keys to unlock something or another. Ok I'm an oldie and crumbly, but don't I get to play games too? There are so many of the more adventurous, challenging games out there. Why not one or two which I can play to relax with a cup of tea and a Christmas nibble or two in the evenings.
Do I sound anything like you? OK then, I highly recommend this game to you. (You don't have to be old, of course). It won't make your hair stand on end, or frustrate you, or particularly challenge you. But if you are past all of that, I think you'll enjoy it!
I recommend this game!

I was so glad to see another game in this series. It seems to have mixed reviews and I'd only say it's a case of 'horses for courses'. I don't like games with dubious, time wasting storylines or hunting for keys over and over in HO games myself, and I do appreciate that BFG tries to please as many of its customers as possible. And this surely pleases me. Maybe it's intended for the more mature demographic of people who have long outgrown vampires and monsters?
It's fun to play, with clear graphics and a cheery soundtrack. It's relaxing and stress free and I hope to see many more of this type of game, so that all of us can have fun playing the sort of games we enjoy!

I don't think I'm particularly unintelligent, but the 'flare' feature is currently escaping understanding. As it wasn't performing as expected I checked it out and read the most garbled explanation I've ever seen. I now understand even less. Most of the time the flare matches seem not to function or then suddenly go off, with no deducible reason, startle me and it's over so fast I can't see what provoked it. What a shame. I've so loved all of the previous series of games. Is this to be goodbye?
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics were good, the storyline OK and I was only mildly aggravated at all those missing keys (which have become, frankly, plain old boring), but I'm afraid when the detective was turned into a cat it was too much of a stretch for me.
Is there no one who can produce a game that's a bit challenging, no locks please, not too violent but still most definitely for adults?
The best laugh of the game after the ridiculous notion that someone can suddenly be changed from human to feline, was the comment given upon finding another box that wouldn't open - "It's locked, of course." Yeah, of course it was!

I usually like Tiny Little Lion puzzle games, but this failed to hit the spot, due largely to its focus on all things American. Unless your knowledge of the States of America and its famous citizens through history, is good, you are going to flounder. If the game had been more challenging then it might even have benefited me on several levels to go and increase my knowledge, but nah, it's just not exciting enough to warrant that level of interest. If someone asks me in a puzzle for the name of a famous' votes for women' campaigner then it's going to be Emily Pankhurst for me, and that won't cut the mustard here. There are also factual errors too, and lots of repeat answers in crosswords etc. And how can the answer to Area of Glacier and Lakes, be 'glacier? See what I mean? So, sorry this one's not for me. Shame as more attention to detail and making it more interntionally appealing might have boosted its popularity.
Embark on a daring rescue through time!

Thoroughly enjoyed the trial game and, just about to purchase when I hit the same problem as another reviewer and can't move the ladder back to the location of the bird's nest, needed to collect the final gear wheel.
So... what to do? Don't want to buy the game and find I have to start it all over again, not even knowing if I'll hit the same problem next time around. So it's a fail for me, unfortunately! I haven't had this sort of problem since the games of old, and much as I've enjoyed the game play to now, surely this sort of thing should be ancient history! I'd also like to say that I don't know the nationality of whoever added the game script, but their grasp of English is lamentable and makes the whole game feel amateurish. 4 stars based on early play, three overall with the problem encountered.

I love the ritual of waiting for this familiar game which I've so loved in the past. I've fallen out of love this time, big time.
Pernikity and difficult to find objects has just made the game a chore, because my eyesight isn't as good as it once was. Even with my glasses, it's just too boring to hunt endlessly for a missing last object and I resort to hints, forfeiting my perfect bonus on every level. Not impressed.

OK I've only just downloaded and played for 5 minutes so far, but what's not to like. I always wait eagerly for the next Vacation Adventure to be released and I love every one. This one's going to be no exception. Doesn't look as if there are going to be any big surprises and that's good. Nothing needs to be altered. It's all fine, just as it is!
I recommend this game!
