This is an immediate purchase for me. I played the game on my phone (android) two years ago but only the first chapter was available. I'm thrilled to play this now through Big Fish especially because it looks to be a full game. If it's anything remotely near my first experience it's going to be amazing. I love the art style, the music, the puzzles, the storyline. If my feelings change I will be sure to edit this review.

Well this is certainly a bizarre game, but don't let that deter you! It's a strange storyline with some puzzle element. The only challenge I came across was fighting the phobias which you can skip with little negative impact (they're good for collecting gems which you can use to purchase upgrade tools for the phobia fights, hints or a change of clothes for the main character). All in all, I enjoyed it and didn't feel my credit went to waste.

This is my favorite TM Game I've played so far. I was having so much fun I purchased the game before I finished the demo.
The graphics and voices are well done. The storyline is typical "save the kingdom" but the gameplay is a little different from your average TM game. There's 2 different modes Adventure #not always timed# and Heroic #timed and more difficult to complete#. And it isn't just building but finding objects and collecting resources and allies along the way. It's a nice pace and a good but not overly taxing challenge.

I am a big fan of this type of game and I bought this one without using the free trial. And I am not disappointed. It's an interesting storyline and the gameplay is a nice challenge. I appreciate it not starting overly easy and happy to see it's gone up to a 25x25 grid.
I recommend this game!

The HO scenes aren't much of a challenge but that's okay, sometimes I like games to be more on the fluff side. A nice twist is the energy use and the many, many quests. It's a fun game and a nice break in my day.
I recommend this game!

This was a wonderful RPG. A great story and gameplay. The battles were different in that all the enemies leveled up with you (except for a couple of bosses) as opposed to regions where you couldn't go until you had leveled up sufficently. It took me just under 6 hours to finish it. Some may think that's short but as I don't have as much time to play as I used to it was the perfect length for me. I eagerly await the next chapter!

I am a big fan of the World Mosaics series, I own all of them so far. They are a nice brain exercise that I find relaxing and challenging. I suggest giving this a try even if it isn't your typical game, it might surprise you.
Two complaints. #1. The color scheme. With many of the mosaics being a similar color it's often hard to see which squares are still blank which leads to stupid errors. And #2. I miss, as in past W.M. games, a line's numbers fading out once the line is fully filled. If these 2 things could be fixed gameplay would be smooth and most stupid mistakes could be avoided.
Despite my complaints I still love the game and am already on my 2nd pass through.

I love the Chicken Invaders series and have bought most of them. However, the Ultimate Omelette Christmas Edition is pretty much Chicken Invaders 4: Ultimate Omelette only updated to a Christmas theme. That said, the game play is challenging (no, this is not easy, you will die and often), fun and addictive. I like to run through first on the Veteran level and then go back and play at the Superstar Hero level. It's a great investment as the replay value is very high.

The game played well. The HO scenes were about putting an object together--a refreshing change from finding a list of items that have nothing to do with the story or what you're trying do. The visuals/sound were great and the game was a good length.
Complaints: While I liked having a choice of dialogue it didn't seem to actually affect the game. Also, the story was intriguing but I felt there were some holes and the ending was abrupt and not fully developed.
All in all, despite the complaints I enjoyed the game very much.

While I didn't find Trail of Shadows as difficult as the first 2 Drawn games (which are both fantastic) it still holds its own. The visuals are beautiful and I love the pop-up-book artwork, very clever. Keep it up!
