The graphics were ok, the play was good not a whole lot of areas so there was a bit too much backtracking especially the bonus game. A lot of HO piles, I could do with less. But overall fun game, I don't think the bonus play was worth the CE purchase, too short, too much backtracking and too many HO piles.
I loved the missing child drawings that came together to provide clues, that was different. A lot of backtracking which came close to annoying, but I do love lots of areas to discover and places to go. A lot of HO piles which was almost too much, would rather have more interesting puzzles, I love the creative ones. Good story line. The bonus play was way too short so I don't think the CE was really worth it. Come on guys, for double the price? Really? Any how, even though it was short it was fun. I loved the little imp and how it comes into play, wish there was more of that in the game.
I really enjoyed this game there was more finding and figuring out things rather than just HO piles. Great adventure game, the puzzles were different and fun to play. It was original from other games, I hope they come out with more like these but with even longer play.
I recommend this game!

I don't know where these 5 star ratings are coming from. It's an ok game, cute story, graphics are fair with a watercolor appearance, I have seen much more beautiful graphics in other games. It's worth $2.99 but I wouldn't pay more. No big challenge in puzzles or anything in this game. It was relaxing to play but I can't say it was super fun! I've played way better, but I still would recommend it for the daily deal.
I loved it from the start grabbing money bags for extra play.... but the play was on the short side, the bonus play was ok, fun game but not in my top ten. I would definitely recommend this game as an SE, loved the extra fun of finding the bags of gold but in the long run the game came in short. Good graphics but not great, great adventure game, puzzles were ok, were a bit challenging not too hard, I like challenge but I like originality and fun better. If I had the choice I'd go SE but I already bought CE. oh well. I expected more, but still better than most.
I only played the trial and after reading to find out how the CE BONUS PLAY is through reading the reviews I'm getting the feeling there wasn't any and more of the bonus content and extra junk I don't care about. I want Excellent long bonus play or CE is not worth it. So even though I recommend this game without excellent bonus game play then I'm waiting SE.
Loved this story better than Wonderland, I liked that it kept going forward in a linear direction but lacked in the adventure HO and it was just pile after pile instead of go find. I loved the characters and the graphics were great!! Loved the voices and dialogue too, very cute. Puzzles were too easy but still had fun. Even though I'm not keen to resorting to piles and less adventure it still was worth getting. A bit short I thought, could have been longer with more variety.
I liked the map where I could jump around to each scene, had lots of variety and not the usual ho hum puzzles. I liked the creepy circus. Had a nice balance of HO piles and HO adventure items to find, I hate it when it's pile after pile.
At first it seemed more like an adventure HOG but soon it became one HO pile after another, after awhile I got irritated and just wanted it to be over finally. Story was good and graphics were decent. So I don't recommend this game unless all you like are piles.
I bought the SE due to all the remarks in the CE pertaining to the bonus play was lame and too much backtracking... Too bad because I would have loved to have an extra hour and of course more than an extra hour, for CE it should be 2 hours at least of extra game play... I hate how short these games are. In any case, the graphics were great, fun game, interesting and different. Good story, just wish it was longer.
