It's the old Peggle game with pinball paddles added at the bottom and really good graphics. Not exactly marble popper by the standard of Zuma stuff in that catagory, but the developers must put it into one of Big Fish's 11 genres and I'd have to say, yup, it's a marble popper. Very rare for new arcade games and this one is a lot of fun.

As an owner of all previous Ranger, Cruise, Halloween, and Christmas games (something like 40+) I think it's way past time to add some new material. The latest games have added more clutter , but I've had enough of the same old sliding puzzles, word find, matching tiles, spin the tile jigsaws. etc. etc. ad nauseam. After all these years, couldn't you have added a TON more variety. Done ANYTHING new and unique??
I don't recommend this game.

Regarding this game being a been there/done that..largely it is. But it's like reading a Harlequin novel number 400, Doc Savage #92 (yeah, I'm dating myself) or doing your 3000th sudoku or crossword puzzle! Every game doesn't need to have some new revolutionary twist to still be great and entertaining! I found this one to be well done, neither with freaky out of proportion hidden objects nor impossible to find micro objects. The jigsaws were a balanced challenge too.
Graphics were good and pictures fit the theme. I think it's a very well done game.
I recommend this game!

I have the four previous Little Lion games in the So Much Stuff and Just Find Series...2 CE's and 2 SE's. All the CE versions gets you are wallpapers (useless), a music player (more than useless) and a trophy/achievement room (beyond useless). I love these games for what they are but the CE versions are an absolute waste of $
I don't recommend this game.
Sort through so much stuff in this quirky hidden-object game!

I loved Twistingo--a VERY needed game with a great balance of variety, the best graphics you'll find in any game on BFG, but...I did tire of the rolling ball bingo. This is a huge collection of every part of Twintingo minus the bingo. Love it!
I recommend this game!

Gorgeous graphics and very nice, low key meditative background music. The problem is there is a complete lack of instructions. I took control of my tadpole, swam out of the circle, and then was told to follow radar to the secret spot. Except there is no radar. I hit keyboard keys, fiddled with mouse combos, and swam around aimlessly for 15 minutes not finding a single thing of interest nor any way to turn on radar. Perused all the icons (no labels) and found stats page with a dozen different traits I assume my tadpole might eventually use but no idea how to obtain them.
Based on visuals alone this looks like it might be a very rare and very good arcade style game for BFG--If I could just it to work.
I don't recommend this game.
Get ready to meet your new best friends!

I've tried to play the demo on my desktop and laptop--the 2 systems running whole different software and configurations. Get system crashes that only can be cleared with task manager kills. Different places each time in the HOP and mini-games. Had bought the first Pups CE and played through no problem--this one has bugs.
I don't recommend this game.

This game, despite a nice theme and locations of pictures, is really a throw back 10 years or more in terms of resolution. Everything seems blurry, crudely drawn.
I don't recommend this game.

I've run everything, including AAA games, on ultra settings with my new gaming pc setup for last 6 months. But for some reason this game is really jumpy. I've enjoyed the story, but the mouse cursor is jumpy, always lags way behind my movements and takes 2 or 3 clicks to register. Lots of BFG games and others are super smooth but this one acts like it's taxing the system--not really possible.
I recommend this game!

I have a very fast computer and very fast internet, yet it seems 2/3 of my demo time was watching a stopwatch spin while loading, stupid story dialog, or watching my next goal repeated for the third time.
I don't recommend this game.
