Indeed - Puzzles, tricky hidden object scenes, great story, battle games - whatever your casual gaming fancy, this provides . . . ! Fabulous toony graphics, & a sense of humor that doesn't take itself seriously - for example, in response to those who moan & groan about endless puzzles popping up, the protagonist reponds when a puzzle appears - "Not you with the cards again . . . ?!"
Generous hint system from a magical companion - & an opt-out of the puzzles & battle sessions - keeps the game flowing . . .
A fabulous adventure with a mysterious quest & weird characters who may be friends or foes . . . Lovely graphics & scenes with nice hidden object games & moderately difficult puzzles . . . The music & sounds are suitably New Age & ambient . . .
Awesome graphics & sound, & fabulous game play with clear, untimed hidden object scenes. . . ! A nice hint system charges quickly, & the puzzles are cool, & definitely do-able . . .
As you progress through the levels, it becomes more difficult to thaw the ice & release the gold, as it should be . . . Judicious use of the bombs & rockets, as well as "The Hammer," will release the most stubborn jams . . . !
The Hidden Object scenes are challenging, especially if one is new to these types of games - be prepared to grope around in the dark on some of them . . . The story is OK, & the ending is somewhat rushed . . .
The game grew on me as I played it, & actually had fun with the hidden object scenes . . . Be careful of over-clicking or wrong clicks - there's a penalty to pay - Booooooo . . . !
