Started out with just the demo, and here we are SEVERAL hours later!! oops!! Addicting game and quite fun. If you are a hard core HOG gamer, you may be disappointed. There are lots of levels and challenges along the way. While the upgrades become pricier as you go along, it just gives you the incentive to plant better crops and keep an eye on your business pricing! Fun little time killer. I would have paid the full price, but got it as the DD! Yay!
I recommend this game!

No timers, no score, no wildcards….a few casual puzzles and hidden object, which take a hint more times than not, but enjoyable all the same. This is truly a simple solitaire with a twist or two that is best for just mindless entertainment. I find it a relief stop from the usual adventure/timed match/HOG/strategy type games. Can't comment on the sound, as I keep it on mute.
I recommend this game!

This is obviously a child's game. With that said, even a child would become frustrated with the time lag between chosen scenes and the excruciatingly drag time between finding objects in the HOS . You can't just click on the object and move to the next one. You must wait while said object wiggles and waggles around, and then move to the next. Had to turn off the voice over. Very little direction and seemingly no purpose. The 'art work' is very grainy. This type of game would have some real potential for just a relaxing little game to pass time, so it's a real shame it is so vert slow and frustrating. A no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Maybe it's the sci fi theme, although I have enjoyed others in this area. Based just on the demo…not one for me. Did not catch my interest in any way, even from the beginning. I almost bought this game unplayed, as the reviews were stellar! I suppose these reviewers havea soft spot for the sci fi genre. I didn't find anything logical in the demo play…seemed like much ado about nothing. If you dig sci fi, you will probably love this though.

I thought this was a great game. Not a lot of backtracking, inventory items used within a reasonable amount of time.
On casual, I finished in less than three hours, skipping two puzzles after multiple tries. Still worth the price. Nice story line.
I recommend this game!

This is a long game, and a pleasant change from the usual faire. Graphics aren't all that, but certainly not horrible! Story line is entertaining. You can only save at the end of a chapter, but that's really not that big of a deal, as the chapters are many. Lots of mini games, many original, no skip button, but that's okay, as they were fun to play. Hint button is helpful and recharges quickly. Definitely different, and actually good replay value. Fun game!

I found this game to be entertaining and a fun way to spend a few hours. I am not a big fan of lots of backtracking, but there's not so much that it becomes frustrating. HOS are few but useful. The hint feature is very informative. Helps to keep things moving along at a nice pace. Story line wasn't too bad. The ending made sense. Well worth the time, and especially when it was offered as a DD! Really liked this one!
I recommend this game!

Yes, this is a rather short game, but it really is rather entertaining. Not just the little humorous spots, but the twist on HO and logic puzzling. Bought this as a DD, and I feel that my money wasn't wasted. Too bad it is only getting the bad ratings based mostly on time. It's kind of a refreshing little game and I would recommend it, especially as a DD.

Loved the first one and was so glad that FINALLY a Mac version was available! There are more things to do, but the end was not as challenging as the first one (thank goodness!)
It's also available for the iPad, and that is even more fun! All around great little game, wonderful graphics and cute story line. Just as with the first one, lots of replay value.
I recommend this game!

I don't know what some of the reviewers here are talking about when they complain about microscopic objects in the HO scenes. The idea is that the object be 'hidden', so it takes a little searching around…isn't that the idea? Also, it's really not the developers fault if you can't tell a butterfly from a bug! Seriously, this is a great game. Very lengthy, which translates to a good value for the money. I liked that you didn't have to carry around inventory items from beginning to end, and that each section had a definite end…not the relentless re-tracking that some games have. Hints refill quickly and penalty for over clicks is very brief. I think this game would be great for a beginner..It did end abruptly, kinda wish there would have been a little more of a conclusion. Overall, very good buy, hours of entertainment and some unique mini games...
I recommend this game!
