I'm sorry. I got 2 minutes in and had to mute the sound by plugging in headphones. There is no chance at the beginning to go to "options" or "settings" and change this. You are sent directly into action, whether you like it or not.
Once there, you have no means to escape the gameplay except the magic button on your keyboard - the "flying window". Escape does not work.
So - I got out and came here to write you. Again, sorry - I might have liked it and might try again at another date, as I've still got 58 minutes remaining.
Who knows about Fun Factor, Level of Challenge, or Storyline? I know the Visual/Sound Quality was indeed Excellent.
I don't recommend this game.

Neither Crazy, nor involving Belts, I can assure you that this is NOT how bags are sorted at the airports. They don't drop from a chute with the guitar strapped to the outside so they break. The belts the title refers to would be something moving, perhaps, but not in the sense that something comes down out of a chute onto such a belt, then gets whisked away to places unknown, unless you, the lucky operator, sends it there correctly. I played for 4 minutes. Yes, 4. I felt obligated somehow.
I don't recommend this game.

Flights of Fancy: Two Doves contained no Hidden Object Scenes in the first 30 minutes of gameplay. To me, that means it is NOT a Hidden Object game. Perhaps a separate genre for Adventure games that feature occasional HOS? I downloaded the game for HOS, not for an adventure.
I don't recommend this game.

I thoroughly enjoy a good Hidden Object game. However, this one lacked in many ways. Let's start with "This will come on handy!" An actual editor should have had that fixed to "in". Things come in handy. They do NOT come ON handy. One HOS showed the word DALL as a clue and after clicking on other items, changed to 'ball'. No, I'm not dyslexic.
There were too many things you have to get before you can continue, rather than HOS. The people who created this have never seen a "wallet"? What it turned out to be was a coin purse. Women carry those. Men carry wallets.
I stopped 23 minutes in, because I was tired of it. Boring. The story line has very little bearing on the game so far. There are far too many things that must be accomplished.

Wordary
Push your lexical skills to the limit! Wordary is an original and addictive word game that the whole family can enjoy.

If you speak American and write American, the words don't fit into your vocabulary. But if you can imagine yourself in another part of the world, where neighbors are spelled neighbours and realize is spelled realise, then this game might be for you. I guess in those parts of the world "cert" is a word. Interesting "twist" on a word game, though. Good luck. I'd have given it a higher rating if the words hadn't been so difficult to find. Once I realized (realised) the reason, it took me a while.
I don't recommend this game.
Running Sheep: Tiny Worlds is an engrossing brainteaser with simple controls, vivid graphics, and 250 levels. It’s wonderful entertainment for the whole family!

There are purple blocks covering some of the grass. In the original version, you left-click to create an arrow and left-click again to turn it in the correct direction. To remove it, you right-click. In this new version, the right-click option is gone. To create, you left-click, but you have to hold the mouse down on the arrow and HOPE it turns in the direction you want. If it doesn't, it typically will erase the arrow you just created. This newer version erases with the same left-click. It's awfully frustrating. I recommend against it. But go ahead and play it, see if you don't agree. I liked the original.
I don't recommend this game.
