Have played many HOGs, but this is by far the most frustrating. I hate the scolding you get on so many games: it is insulting and degrading. Ok, maybe some devs don't want you to click yourself silly, but this one allowed THREE clicks (& spaced apart in time & around the picture) before the dreaded warning. Too many games out there for me to bother with this one.
I don't recommend this game.

As others have written, this one is beyond visually challenging & into the realm of impossible in places. It is a strain on the eyes in the ok places, & graphics are not very good over-all. Apologies to devs, but this one is not just difficult, it is simply not fun for the above reasons.
I don't recommend this game.

Looks sinister at first, but is not. It turns out it is really an unusual HOG & for that I thank the devs. Tried it & am hooked. Will purchase as soon as game sale or payday comes, whichever is first.
I recommend this game!

Wish the BFG would include one other qualifier in their descriptions: is it timed or not? Would help those like me who would rather dawdle around on games than get a headache trying to zip through in record time.
I don't recommend this game.

Not a good hog; weirdly structured building game. Would have given it a zero on any eval but not avail. Free or not, I'm tossing it, for the second time, no less.
I don't recommend this game.

Dumbed-down version of the worst of the mosaic-style games & I love the others! Don't bother with this waste of time.
I don't recommend this game.

Ok, YOU try it! Given its cartoon/kiddie look & feel, you might think it would be easy. not. HO's are on a par w/ some of the more "adult"-appearing games, at least for me.
Positives: at first it made me smile
Negatives: navigating between scenes is awkward & not at all intuitive, exiting needed to be forced, & graphics are quite dated.

Seems simple for first umpteen games, but oh, boy, does it get fast-paced & more difficult! :) Only half-way thru demo, so don't know if I'll buy it, but so far it is really fun.
I recommend this game!
