Just finished this game, and I really enjoyed it. The story and characters were top notch. It was like 5 games in one. Each portal you went through brought you to a completely different story, with challenges and puzzles to complete. This is definitely my type of game. Lots of puzzles, and able to follow the story without needing the map, as it was easy to remember where the item you just picked up needed to be. The voices of the characters were really great especially the ogre and the skeleton that needed the bracelets. Well thought out game with a lot put into it. Entertaining right to the very end. Good length, so it was really worth the price.
The tasks were so simple, it made the game boring for me. I like challenge, and some of the puzzles were so simple that it made me mad to even complete them. For instance, push on the 5 blocks in numerical order, which were clearly marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Really???? Come on, you can do better than that. There are some very creative and challenging puzzles out there, that can be put into a game to make it fun. This sadly was not one of them. I can only recommend this game for kids only, and not experienced game players who like to exercise their brains. All the other aspects of the game were good, (graphics, spooky cut scenes, etc), which is where they clearly put all their energy into, but for me, that's not what makes a game fun, otherwise you are just mindlessly clicking through things, and waiting for the game to finish.
Aww....too bad. This could have been a great game, as I love Alex Gordon, Bud Redhead, etc. games, and was hoping for a new one. I tried this game, but it was so hard, that unfortunately this won't be a buy for me. The platform moves so fast that you can't even think about what your move should be. There is a difficulty option, but only normal, and insanely hard. Maybe they should have put in an easy option, and then you could move up as you get used to how fast it is. I would like to see more games like Alex Gordon, or Super Cow, as there hasn't been any out for a long time, similar to these. I liked the Zombies idea though.

Just finished the game, and all I can say is, it's so worth the money. The puzzles are challenging, and the map gives you a list of the tasks that still need to be done. It doesn't portal you to that location, but it's not needed as there isn't a lot of back and forth required. The story is a little different, but to me that's not what is important. Not a lot of HOS, which I like. This game has more puzzles, which is what I LOVE in a game, and this one gave a lot of great and challenging ones. The length is very good, and just when you thought it was about to end, it goes into another chapter, and continues on with lots more puzzles and stuff to locate and do. I don't give out a lot of 5 stars for games, but IMO it deserved these stars. I wish there were more games like this one.
Sorry, but this game was just an exercise of the wrist. All you had to do was just keep clicking on things, without much thought. Way too easy. I love circus themes, but once you entered the maze, it quickly became like all other games. The puzzles were way too easy, so I guess I would recommend this for maybe 10 to 12 year olds.
This is just a review on the demo, and I was just about to stop playing as there was yet to be any puzzles. I continued on, and was surprised that near the end of the demo, there were some very great puzzles that were a nice challenge. To me, that is what I love about a game. The graphics and music are nice too. Lots to look at, and it seems to me that a lot was put into this game. I think this will be a buy for me, as I'm sure it will be a lot of fun with more puzzles along the way, but not sure if I will get the CE or SE. Overall a really great game.

Very disappointed in this game, as I have a number of games by Eipix, and thought I would try it. What I don't like about this game: Puzzles are way too easy. Sometimes, all you had to do is click randomly on an item, and it solves itself. Or the solution is clearly visible, so all you have to do is just put in the solution without any thinking at all. I play games to get the old noggin thinking, and this was not enjoyable at all. One other thing I really don't like is a lot of the games have this now, and this one seems to have even more, is an achievement screen that scrolls in from the side, telling you your objective, or when your objective is completed, or when you received an achievement. Every time you complete some small task, a screen interrupts you, and stops your play. Very annoying. All in all, this is just a copy of every other game that is out there lately. I will say lately, as this seems to be the trend now. I will go back and play my great games from a few years back, that really had you thinking and were thoroughly entertained. They seem to be able to pump out a lot of HO games like crazy, and would sure like to see some more adventure games, like Syberia, and of course games like Nancy Drew which I have almost all of.
As one reviewer said, I too was excited to see a bowling game. Only this was just a bit too boring after the hour was up. Not sure what the game would turn out to be, but I don't think it will be a buy for me. I kept running out of balls, and there was no indicator of how many balls you had left, so that wasn't very good. I sure wish they would come out with a good bowling game, though. It can't be that hard to develop one, and the few that BF offers are just ok, but not great. It would sure be different than all the match 3 and HO games that seem to be mostly out there.

Good extras in the CE. Loved the puzzles, and were quite challenging. Great graphics; clear, and nice color. Music was really good for the game. Liked that you could change to puzzle mode instead of HO. Lots to do. Overall, everything that I like in a HOP.

I couldn't finish the demo, as it was so frustrating. There is so much description about every little object in the scene, that your cursor is always in action mode. You are constantly clicking and clicking to find an area to do something, but instead it's just another description of the sky or the flowers or floating weapons. They were trying to put too much into this game and instead made is very frustrating to navigate through.
