After reading the reviews, which varied quite a lot, I decided to play the demo and decide for myself. Well, I am sorry to say that the game is repetitious and I soooo dislike the black screen between the scenes. By the time the next scene comes up I have forgotten what I was suppose to do and even where I was at. I ended up using the hint button constantly just to figure out where I should be or what I needed to do. Also, I think the amulet and such are useless. I made it through most of the demo, but quit because it was just no fun. Please try the demo first.
I don't recommend this game.

Yes, I had fun playing this game. I truly liked the story line....so different from what most Devs are offering lately. The graphics are excellent. There is a lot to do, but do not rush because there is so much to see and if you click on things they light up or move or change colors.....It is awesome! The HOPs were great as were the puzzles. A few of the puzzles take a while to figure out, but they are doable. I love morphing objects and the puzzle pieces were cool....in the extras..you can put the jigsaw puzzle together. Another great game from 4 Friends and well worth the money!
I recommend this game!

This game is at the top of my list for fun games....that also make you think! The story line is good. The HO scenes are like they used to be when HO first came about. The Devs certainly have a sense of humor...it shows through out the game. There is a lot to do and it is fun figuring out what all needs done along with finding the collectables. Perhaps the Dev's are finally getting the message from the players that we do not like all of the "cookie cutter" games.
Give this game a try...well worth the price and then some!
I recommend this game!

I have to say this is the worst game I have played....(and yes, I bought it without trying..due to BOGO sale) What a mistake that was. The story line is boring as are the HOs as are the graphics. I totally dislike their inventory which only shows 5...yes count them.....5 of the items you have at one time....so yes, you are constantly checking to see what else is in your inventory because you cannot see them. Please try the demo before you buy this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I love this game. Yes, it is a Blast from the Past....and oh so much is going on. The HO's are great with a morphing object in some of them...which it shows an icon when there is one. The Super Puzzles are SUPER. You actually have to figure them out for yourself...they are not real hard...so if you have patience you will get it. I love the fact that you do not have to go back and forth in this game.....they do it for you! There sense of humor is well...humorous. I will definitely be replaying this game. So much to do. Enjoy

Wow. This game has it all. The graphics are excellent. The story pulls you right in. The characters are all delightful...well, except for the bad guy. The music goes perfectly with the story and the humor is great.
Playing this game is so refreshing after so many games with stealing souls and death etc....Definitely try this game. It is delightful. You will buy it. Well worth the money and then some.
I recommend this game!

Wow, I love these types of games and this one would be at the top of the list if not for the colors. They all blend together to the point that it actually hurt my eyes trying to make out the differences. Everything else about this game in my opinion is top notch. At least give it a try it might be okay for some of you.
I recommend this game!

This is a nice game. I have played the Demo only and I do not see where it is CE worthy. So far the only thing to find is an atom in each scene. No morphing objects that I can see. Story line is good as are the graphics. It almost seems as though the Devs thought that we would not be able to understand what is being said by each character because they have each and everyone written on the screen. Distracting to me. But please try it. You might just like it. As for me, I will wait for the SE

I really wanted to like this game and thought that I would based on some of the reviews, but, it is very slow moving and between each scene it says "loading" which is really aggravating and takes away from the play of the game. I rated it 2 stars because I do believe the devs had a good idea for the story line but they did not follow through with the story. I was looking for an easy game to relax with ... not to fall asleep with. That said, try the demo as it just might be the game for you.
I don't recommend this game.

I love griddlers or whatever you choose to call them, but I found this one to be very hard on my eyes. It is black background with black in unfilled spaces and for some reason it hurt my eyesight....goes to say....without saying....I am old. lol
I could not tell what the finished picture was suppose to be which is another turn off. But, please try this and hopefully it will be the game for you.
