In 2023, I played the first game, Green Planet, but it hasn't seen significant improvements in graphics or game mechanics since then. I had to play in windowed mode; otherwise, the cursor moved sporadically and responded at a snail's pace, which was the same issue I had in 2023!
The graphics are bland and unappealing. The Hidden Object Scenes, where you are tasked to find Hidden Birds, were horrible. The birds are drastically darker than the scene itself, which makes it impossible to see subtle differences in order to make identical matches!
There are several different types of HO games available:
🦜Yellow Birds-Mahjong Pairs: Match 2 identical Mahjong Tiles (some tiles only show the top or bottom half as a challenge)
🦜Parrots-Triple Tiles: Match 3 identical Mahjong Tiles
🦜Red Birds-Make 10: Click on 2 cards that equal the sum of 10 (the cards have no numbers, just a specific number of suits-clubs, spades, hearts, diamonds)
🦜Rainforest Birds-Match Pairs: Match identical pairs of round stickers (stickers can be moved)
🦜Kings of the Sky-Thirteen: Click on 2 cards that equal the sum of 13 (the cards have no numbers, just a specific number of suits-clubs, spades, hearts, diamonds)
🦜Blue Birds-Tile Match: Match identical Mahjong tile pairs of pictured items.
🦜Find Hidden Birds-Hidden Pairs: 152 Hidden Object Scenes where you find identical birds. Choose between Normal and Skillful difficulty mode. (right-click to enlarge screen & drag around)
🦜Adorable Birds-Play Level: 152 Hidden Object Scenes to find adorable birds. (right-click to enlarge screen & drag around)

When I tried to play the CE version, the puzzle in "Coop's Corner" glitched and wouldn't progress after completing or trying the skip button. A few days later, an update appeared on the Game Manager, but it didn't fix the issue. I haven't had an update since, so I'd assume they still haven't fixed the glitch in the CE version that everyone experienced??!!
I noticed that they changed the chapter's title from Coop's Corner to Coop's Portrait...wouldn't it be funny if all it took to fix the glitch was to rename it? I gave this SE version a whirl, and it worked, so I strongly recommend trying the demo before opting to purchase the CE version, or simply go for this SE version.
Other than the glitch, I did enjoy this classic HOG because I'm an animal-lover to the core, and there aren't enough animal-themed games. There are lots of HO varieties, and some of the items require a bit of searching to find. The colors are bright and have a feel-good vibe.
There are 36 levels total, which include the puzzle levels. The CE version has an additional 10 Bonus Levels. There are no voiceovers, just dialogue text, but I found it a bit odd that the main character laughs in a Russian voice at the end of the intro.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with Listed Items, Pictured Items, Keywords in Sentences, Replace Items back into the scene, Multiples of the Same Item, Matching Pairs, Swatches, and Silhouetted Shapes. Some of the scenes also feature a Collectible Object.
The Mini-Games can be played in Easy or Hard Mode. They are quick games such as Spot the Difference, Rotate & Arrange objects into a suitcase, or the infamous picture of Coop, where you are required to swap pieces along a track to complete a picture.
Collector's Edition Version Extras:
10 Bonus Levels, 5 Music, 10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art pictures, 23 Achievements, 15 Collectibles, 16 Boudoir Items to purchase for your backyard... which has nothing to do with a boudoir??

I haven't been impressed with T1 Games lately because the graphics are unappealing, there's no customization available, and no new features are ever added to their lengthy series' games.
Although Cargo Rush still suffers from the issues mentioned above, it did turn out to be a fun and addictive little game, and one of the few games that I'd probably enjoy playing on my phone.
There are three different games available
🍍Organizing Food on Shelves: The goal is to organize food in groups of 3 (sometimes 4) by grabbing them and placing them onto the shelves accordingly. Food can be temporarily placed into any shaded spot, but you must remove all food items from a shelf before the next group moves forward.
🍍Organizing Food on Shelves: The goal is to organize food in groups of 3 (sometimes 4) by grabbing them and placing them onto the shelves accordingly. Food can be temporarily placed into any shaded spot, but you must remove all food items from a shelf before the next group moves forward.
🍍Placing Food into Baskets: The second game type requires you to pick up specific foods and place them into the correct baskets, both of which are on vertical conveyor belts (but they don't move terribly fast). Each basket has a specific quantity that must be fulfilled; the baskets will eventually come back around if you aren't able to fill them before they move up/down.
🍍Bottle Pallets. The third game felt like a cheap knockoff of the classic Super Collapse games. The bottles are displayed in the inventory bar in varying colors and configurations. The goal is to pick up and place them on a grid to make matches until they are removed. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how the matches were calculated because as you are about to place some of them, a whole slew of others change color?? I didn't care for this game mode, but they are far and few between.
Before the start of each game, you are tasked with achieving 3 different goals to earn all 3 Stars. The first star is achieved by completing the level, the second star requires earning a specified number of points, and the third requires you to complete the level within a specific time allotment. I found the timer to be pretty generous, and I was able to beat the timer in all levels of the demo.
IF this game had a Relaxed Mode, I would probably purchase it, but I have no doubt that eventually, the level timer will become impossible to beat.

GRANDMA: YOU HAD ME AT "Warning: This game features moments of darkness and terror that some may find distressing."❣️

(Since I am already "distressed," I figured it was okay to proceed)
Things aren't going well for me lately. Turns out, if ya have a few disturbing "visions," everyone freaks out, and the next thing ya know, you wake up in the Lakeview Clinic, drooling on your pillow.
Mom and Dad must be feeling a bit guilty cuz they just hired a Paranormal Detective. I sure hope he keeps it on the down-low; this dude literally has a glowing tattoo he claims detects paranormal activity...and they think I'm the crazy one!
Turns out, the detective is having a rough day too. Seems his wallet's zipper pull broke before he even entered the building, and it would appear that everything's in a state of serious disrepair or is missing parts entirely. Bet his tattoo didn't foresee that karma!
In all seriousness, I have to give kudos to GrandMa Studios. They have just released two fantastic games back-to-back (Fragments of Truth and Unseen Fears). Clearly, while the other two HOPA developers are seeing how many cookie-cutter games they can mass-produce, Grandma is slow-cooking home-cooked meals with quality ingredients!
It's hard to complain when someone is trying so hard to get it right! I loved the collectible Shades, the unique Hidden Object Scenes, unusual gameplay, and the slightly edgy plot, which is practically unheard of in a game from GrandMa Studios! Keep up the great work, you're earning the spot at the top of the HOPA developer mountain in my book...and its well deserved! 🏆
COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
7 Wallpapers, 7 Concept Art pictures, 8 Music Soundtracks, Replayable Movies, Mini-Games, and Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Achievements, 21 Puzzle Piece Fragments (within the Zoom Zones), 48 Collectible Shades (1 static, 1 Morphing)...very challenging to spot! Main Game (Invisible Enemy), a Bonus Chapter (Mysterious Artifact), and a bonus level unlocks (Sweet Memories) when you find all of the Shades.

Hopefully, Big Fish is starting to realize that they aren't offering a lot of variety lately. We keep getting games in the same series, by the same developers, over and over. Occasionally, BF treats us to something different, and My Tiny Room is a perfect example to show die-hard BF fans that there are a ton of different genres available out there...games you may be pleasantly surprised to discover you enjoy!
My Tiny Room is similar to the game Unpacking. It is a Zen game with no rights, no wrongs, and no timer. The only goal is to decorate the tiny rooms of your tiny house by placing furniture and decorations any way you want (as long as they don't overlap.
The Inventory Bar displays three items at a time, starting with furniture, and then the smaller decorations. Simply click on the item and drag it to the desired location, click again to place it. You can rotate the items by pressing E on your keyboard until they are in the correct orientation. You can rearrange or move any of the items as often as you want. The final item to place is an adorable calico kitten!
You can even adjust the natural light and place light bulbs in lamps and select the brightness when the room is completed.
That's about all there is to this game. It may be your cup of tea, it may not, but at least Big Fish is finally offering something different!

Magnussoft deserves kudos for its creativity in this HOG as it features amazing graphics, interesting puzzles (some I have never played before), a great variety of Hidden Object Scenes, and yes...it even has a nice story, albeit one that requires reading dialogue text. Its "Out-of-Box" features require a bit of thinking and tinkering, something that has been lacking in recent games.
THE PLOT THICKENS:
The King releases you from a jail cell in exchange for... well, let's just say it's because you're expendable and because all the previous knights have failed their mission to stop an evil sorcerer from unleashing the dark powers of the Black Crystal.

ADVENTURES & QUESTS:
Your adventure begins as you make your way to various towns located on your handy map. Along the way, you will meet various characters that, of course, have a dilemma of some sort that requires your unique set of skills.
Your adventure begins as you make your way to various towns located on your handy map. Along the way, you will meet various characters that, of course, have a dilemma of some sort that requires your unique set of skills.
What sets this game apart from the pile of HOGs we have been offered in abundance lately is that you must scour the scene for active areas, speak to various characters, and then figure out what needs to be done to accomplish the tasks. What I found even more interesting was the fact that I had to reexamine the same scene after doing a specific action. For example, a character may not have a conversation prompt until I have found an inventory item.
HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES:
First of all, some of these scenes are incredibly beautiful and filled with colorful butterflies, unicorns, and magical creatures (let's give the developers some credit for having such an imagination). Some of the HO scenes have objects that can be moved out of the way, revealing additional objects. Each scene varies with Listed Items, Multiples of the Same Object, Silhouetted Shapes, and even Riddled Descriptions.

MINI-GAMES:
I have enjoyed the mini-games offered in this game because, although they weren't difficult, many of them require a little thought. One of my favorite puzzles required making 25 distinct connections between two identically-colored orbs. The line can be short or long and can wrap around other orbs on a grid, using the white orbs as connectors... super fun!

I would have given this game at least 3-4 Stars, but like everyone else, I'm stuck in Coop's Corner and unable to progress. I actually waited until the patch update was offered on the Game Manager before playing it, as I had read previous complaints, but even after the update, it still isn't working. I find it hard to imagine that anyone from Big Fish bothered to vet this game before releasing it, let alone the fact that Domini/Relax Games had to have known this was an issue.
There are 36 levels total, 10 of which are CE Bonus Levels. There are no voiceovers, just dialogue text, but I found it a bit odd that the main character laughs in a Russian voice at the end of the intro.
The Hidden Object Scenes are varied with Listed Items, Pictured Items, Keywords in Sentences, Replace Items back into the scene, Multiples of the Same Item, Matching Pairs, Swatches, and Silhouetted Shapes. Some of the scenes also feature a Collectible Object.
The Mini-Games can be played in Easy or Hard Mode. They are quick games such as Spot the Difference, Rotate & Arrange objects into a suitcase, or the infamous picture of Coop, where you are required to swap pieces along a track to complete a picture. The problem is that after completing the puzzle, nothing happens, and you can't move to the next level no matter what you do.

This is the third game in The Harmony Chronicles, and once again, chaos is about to disrupt Harmony as it ripples throughout the universe. It seems to me that the Harmony Goddess isn't doing a very good job of keeping Harmony Harmonious!
I have been quite impressed with this series. The Hidden Object Scenes are just challenging enough to hold your interest, and you actually look forward to the next scene. The scenes take place across an entire room rather than just a pile of junk on a random table. There are a ton of objects in every scene, which makes items more challenging to spot initially. I love that most of the items are theme-related and realistic. The graphics are clear, and every item is easily recognizable. Most of the scenes are Listed Item Finds, but they break up the monotony with Multiple Item Finds (5 Apples-5 Boots, etc.), Matching Pairs, and Silhouetted Shape Finds as well.
I haven't completed the game, but so far, all of the Puzzle Levels are Fragmented Shapes that you drag to the correct position within a specific shape, such as a crystal ball or a book.
As for the story, there are voiceovers; the characters actually speak, so I'm not sure why they felt the need to include a dialogue box as well?? It gets annoying because you have to specifically click on the words "Click to Continue" at the bottom of the screen to continue.
Speaking of annoying... the Owl character quickly becomes annoying, repeatedly saying, "HOO-HOO mid-sentence...we get the point: he's an owl. I found myself automatically skipping through most of the conversations because there was too much unnecessary dialogue, and I lost interest...Plus, I wanted to get to the next HO scene because they are really enjoyable!
I was considering knocking a Star off my rating of the CE version, not because of the HOO-HOO's or the excessive dialogue...but because they are offering a Collector's Edition without revealing any of the CE content! The Bonus Content has a tab for Puzzles, Music, and Wallpapers, but when you click on them, the same message appears to inform you that you have to complete the game before you can access any of the content!
I refused to purchase the CE version without this knowledge. How can we be expected to pay twice as much for this CE when, for all we know, the SE version has the same content? Are they the same puzzles available to Replay, or are they new puzzles? Do we get six extra Puzzles? 10 Puzzles, 50 Puzzles, or one lousy puzzle? Personally, I couldn't have cared less about Wallpapers (they will eventually be available online if you really like them), and I'm certainly not going to play the music in my free time.

This is a challenging game to play, but it isn't because it's missing a strategy guide. I've played some pretty boring games in the past, but this game was a downright snoozefest.💤
Clearly, at this point, the developers are putting forth no effort toward the gameplay or storyline, AND they are testing the waters to see how much...or how little they can get away with, in terms of content in a new game.
Once again, we play the role of a journalist who is investigating claims that a wicked witch has gone on a murderous rampage. Apparently, the developers had an "it's good enough" mentality and didn't care enough to fix the voiceover audio. The journalist's voice is loud and clear, but you'll be hard-pressed to hear or understand what the Fortune Teller has to say as she whispers as quietly as Gus the mouse from Cinderella.
There are no gameplay options, so you're forced to click all over each scene in search of an active area. Under most circumstances, I would find this to be a nice throwback feature that makes my gaming more challenging; however, due to the cookie-cutter storyline, boring tasks, and features, it simply made the game drag along at a snail's pace.
The bottom line is that developers aren't motivated to create decent HOPAs at a 40/60 split of 14 bucks...who can blame them? I strongly urge Big Fish to add a "Premium Game" price point and give developers an opportunity (And A Motive) to create better games for a larger slice of the pie...OTHERWISE, at this pace, everyone loses! The Developers, not to mention Big Fish Games, will never regain their reputation or their dignity by offering games of this caliber!
While I'm on a complaining roll...wouldn't it be awesome if there was a way to opt out of installing that stupid "other games" Big Fish icon every time we download a game!

CrispApp released this game three years ago (as an SE version). Is BF that far behind schedule, or are they just desperate to find games to fill their daily slots...you know, the slots that used to be filled with amazing HOPA games? Maybe it's time to give HOPA developers a bigger slice of the pie so they can earn a living and have a motive to develop games for BF.
The story is a bit weak, but that's often the case with Hidden Object Games. You are heading to visit a long-time friend, Roderick Usher ("The Fall of the House of Usher"), but strange things happen before you reach the mansion.
There are 22 HO levels, and each level has 4 Achievements to earn by replaying the scene in different modes and completing a puzzle until all Stars/percentages have been filled. There is a Listed Mode, a Silhouetted Shape Mode, a Night Mode (which is more of a colorless mode than a scene in the dark), and a side-by-side Spot the Difference Mode.
The objects to find are different each time you replay the scene, and the objects change location and placement in an effort to make the game less repetitive. Each scene has a theme-related jigsaw variation as well, such as Rotating & Swapping Square Tiles or a classic Jigsaw Puzzle, which unfortunately doesn't have a rotation feature, but the puzzle pieces have unique tab shapes.
The graphics are decent, but the objects are just random objects that have nothing to do with the scene or the Edgar Allan Poe plot. Each scene only has a handful of items to find, and you get more points for finding items back-to-back quickly. It's not a bad game if you enjoy HOGS that require repeating the scene multiple times.
From what I can tell, the only Collector's Edition extras in the CE version are 11 Jigsaw Puzzles...are they worth an extra 7 bucks?
