What a disappointment this game was. Like a few others, I don't feel this was worthy of being a CE game. Only 1 morphing collectible to find & the morph was so fast & if you missed it, had to wait a fair length of time for it to re-appear. I got all but 1 & not even the opportunity to go back and get it !! Again, very disappointing game put out by the developer.
Oh well - just was not my "cup of tea", I guess.
I don't recommend this game.
Find hidden objects, complete fun tasks and solve exciting puzzles to save a dazzling and enigmatic island.

this was a nice surprise this morning. A nice little gem of a game. As Penmom said, graphics & scenes are really clean & crisp and quite colorful. Nothing overly special about the HOP scenes, some of the mini games were different. I only played about 20 minutes of the demo, then bought with a PCC. Quite enjoying it.
I recommend this game!

wow - very "mickey mouse" game play. Like it was dug up out of the archives. Very "old style" hidden object game. No voice overs, no options. The background music repetitive, but very unobtrusive.
I did end up getting this game - used up a PCC for it only because I had so many that I had to toss because they had expired (because nothing was available) - so figured this was an okay game to while away a bit of time during the day without getting stressed out.

not a bad game, but not the greatest

so, I bought this game today - was a good sale. Not the greatest game, however, I was desperate for a new HOPA CE game.
I'm enjoying it - I do find the collectibles a bit hard to locate, but that's okay - I always take my time looking for them first before carrying on with each new scene. Yes, many of the HOP scenes are quite creative and fun. Graphics, voice-overs, etc. all are excellent.
It's been a good way to while away a Saturday afternoon.
I recommend this game!

I have been quite enjoying this game. I love when there's lots of collectibles to find. Mostly, I skip the puzzles, however, some of these I did because they were not overly difficult or complicated. Not finished the main game yet - graphics, music, etc. are excellent. Like the jump map & that I can click on it to see if there's any collectibles I've missed.
Pleasant game for me - quite relaxing, actually, for me. I play to relax and enjoy - I don't want to be "stressed" when playing HOPA games (which are my favorite).
Thumbs up for this game for me !! Thank you !

not a bad game, certainly not the best

so, I'm only part way through this game. So, it's an OK game, story line is pretty good - playing it because I'm tired of re-playing all my previous games - there's not been much so far in HOPA CE games.
Anyhow - it is an OK game and it's passing away a Saturday afternoon. Only 2 complaints about this game. The collectibles are super hard to find - and sometimes even with using the SG guide, I can't find them. Hopefully when I reach the end of the game, will have the opportunity to go back and find what I've missed.
2nd complaint - I really hate when games use a flashlight to get around - be they in main scenes or in the HOP scenes. This game seems to use the flashlight a LOT !! I find it very hard to get through those scenes. But that's just me.
I recommend this game!

not a bad game

I am no where near finished this game, but I don't mind it. It's not a difficult game, but as one other reviewer said - it's passing the time on a really cold & windy winter day. I do like that there are "extras" to find in the scenes. some of the scenes are a bit dark, so find it a bit hard to see them. I do love HOPA games, and only got 1 new one this past week (sob, sob !) I am getting tired of having to keep replaying games in my library of games.
I will enjoy this one and hope there is a really good one coming out this weekend.

somewhat different from the other 2 in the series !
PostedDecember 21, 2018
so, I'm almost done the main game. Actually, not really sure if this is a game I would replay. I really enjoyed the other ones in the series - but this one I'm not so sure. I enjoy the fact that the HOP scenes are really interactive - have no problem finding the "collectibles" - but so far, at almost the end of the main game, I've only found 3 morphing items in the hop scenes. Haven't checked to see if I can go back and find them, and there is nothing that I could find in the SG to show where they would be located. hopefully will have that opportunity. Otherwise, not a bad game.
I recommend this game!

awesome !
PostedDecember 13, 2018
wow - love this game. been playing off and on all day - not yet finished the main game - everything about it is so wonderful, bright, colorful, cheerful - yeah - King Cole is a bit of a downer, but there has to be at least 1 villain in a game !!
WONDERFUL GAME - A Definite replay.
I recommend this game!

yikes - what a frenzy !
PostedDecember 12, 2018
wow - I tried this game for about 15 minutes - had to quit. Far to hectic for me. Yes, the colors were bright & cheerful, however, as a couple of others said, the mix-up of the items every 10 seconds was very hard to deal with. I kept feeling like I was rushed to find things. That's not why I play HO or HOPA games. I like to relax and enjoy.
Some people may enjoy the frenzy of this game, but alas, not for me. I would perhaps have liked it more if it weren't for the constant movement of the items every 10 seconds.
Sorry - I can't recommend this game.
