I was surprised how much fun I had playing this. I did not do the timer and just relaxed playing it. The super puzzles were excellent and took some thought. I liked the bonus chapter too.

As the second game I have played from this developer, I am very pleased with this one. Puzzles were great,I loved the art and story line, it was fun and interesting to play and it showed amazing imagination in the creating of it. While this game probably does not need another review, I wanted to write it because I would really like to see more games of this caliber being presented. The artists who created this game should celebrate and gives themselves a pat on the back It was wonderful.!! .
I recommend this game!

I really was captivated by this game. The art work is lovely, the story line very nice, and it is a great combination of adventure and HOA. The HOAs were interactive in a unique way, and I hope they do that through the entire game. I really enjoyed the puzzles and mini games through out. Mainly because they were solvable with out being too easy, and required a bit of thought.
I like the cat helper and that you have to feed him first before he finds stuff.
I like the match three option on the HOAs but did not want to use it.
Very clear objective and map too.
This is a charming game and relaxing to play.
I just spent an hour playing the demo, will take a nap and buy this one. Super funl

This game is well thought out and very well made. It had a logical sequence, nice mini games, the hidden object games were woven in with the story so you found stuff as the story was told. I like customizing the game play, and appreciated that the music came and went with the story. The graphics are suburb and the characters are animated. This is a top of the line game, with all the bells and whistles. User friendly but you can opt for a more challenging game is so desired.
I can't think of a thing, I would do differently, however it only played through the first chapter which I completed in one hour. I will buy this one no question about it, but will wait for one the Big Fish special deals around Thanksgiving

I found I really like playing this game. I like the tunnels and rusty scenes, and hidden object games. It takes a bit of thought. I played on expert, and appreciated that if I got stuck the hint button told me what to do next. It is a nice change from other games we have been playing, and if was a terrific use of my free credit. The puzzles were interesting, and fit into the theme of the game. I think that if the makers had added achievement awards some people might like it better but over all I am having fun playing it, enjoy the element of surprise, and that is the main reason I buy these games anyway.
I recommend this game!

No question about it, this game is challenging, fun and full of surprises. The mini games were very unusual, and captivating. The HO;s were findable (but not easy) with some looking, I will buy this game as I want to take my time and really enjoy the puzzle factor.and game play. The story line is a good one, and I liked the carnival theme. Great graphics, and I think I will need the strategy guide so its a collectors edition purchase for me. I will probably give this game to my friends for Christmas as it is my favorite game so far this year.
I recommend this game!

The sound for the introduction started off scratchy and the skipped allot like a broken record. I was hoping it would get better but it was off and on during the demo play. The characters were stiff and not animated. The hidden objects games were well done, and there were two in the first five minutes of play.
I never saw any puzzles so cannot comment on them.
But over all I just could not get into the story ( which so close to Halloween will delight many). I deleted the game after 15 minutes.

The story wants us to find,and enter the towns people's bad dreams and stop them. This leaves some interesting vignettes as a dream can be anything, and we can be anywhere doing anything and allows for some real variety of game play. The puzzles were challenging, fun to play, and took some time. The hidden object scenes (I played two in the demo) were average, with some animated extra ones. I liked the sound effects and It felt like the writers had a sense of humor when creating this.
There are awards for achievements, and finding hidden objects.
The art work was ok and sometimes very well done and detailed.
Cons: the animated scenes were stilted and lacked the fluidity.Felt a little comic book when people talked.
In spite of the fact the game was not as technically advanced as some others I have played, I had fun playing it, and was disappointed when my hour of free play was up.
I felt this game could go in so many different directions, and I am curious as to what might happen next. So I will buy it.

I bought this game after the demo. I love the story, artwork, puzzles and level of options for the HOA games. So while you can choose to play a match three instead, I would suggest trying them a few times as they have some fun new twists that make playing the HOA even better. I am loving the scenery and detail that is put into each frame. The sound effects are spot on, and the animation of the characters feels very real. Great voice overs, and I love the options for switching from hard to regular mode. I am looking forward to playing this game over the holiday weekend, and do appreciate the special price that was offered also.
I recommend this game!

I loved this adventure themed fairy story that takes place in an alternate dimension . I loved the artwork, the puzzles,and the amazing enchanting world that was laid out to wander around in. This game is a visual feast of color. It has cute animals, carnivorous plants, and magical waters. It makes me want to see what the artists have drawn next.
Cons: I would have like the map to be available at all times rather than needing to be recharged.
For those of us that play these games all the time, it could be somewhat more challenging.
I will get this game because I don't want to wait for the SE to come out. Quite frankly they got me hooked on the cut scene in the beginning where we are flying over the jungle, then the desert, and waterfalls in a 4 minute loop. Loved that and knew that who ever created the opening credits was going to make a great game. .
