Great game, BUT...
The graphics, HOPs, and mini-games were great. The only things I found very frustrating were that many times when I tapped an inventory item it booted me out of the scene. Also, I was kicked out to the strategy guide when trying to move forward or tap on an area of interest.
No glitches fun game
At first I was afraid to even do the free trial but I am glad I did. I experienced no issues with it. So give it a try! You may enjoy yourself.
Fear for sale.
Yes it lags and I think developer and bf need to make this right after these updates. Other then the lag that makes me crazy, the game isn't all that bad. I like the idea of choosing between hops and puzzles. Graphics could be a little more crisp but I enjoyed it after I set my mind to finish it.
Yawn⏱💤
Won't be purchasing this one until they sort out the loading scenes!! Don't get me wrong it looks like a good game but waiting up to 10 seconds to move from scene to scene is just boring 😠
Fear for Sale: My only fear is that lag will ruin the game!
NEW UPDATE: after finishing the main game, I'm sorry to say that the lag increased up to 8-9 seconds (started at 3 seconds during the trial). Adding in the fact that you have to re-play HOGs (and there are quite a few HOGs), I'm dropping my review to 2 stars. Without the lag, this would have been a solid 3 stars. If you're patient, you might have a go at this. Otherwise, hold off for better games ...
Here's another entry from Elefun, notorious for having increasingly long lags between scene transitions. Unfortunately the trials don't give you a good sense for how bad it will get - I've been fooled many a time before with reasonable lags during the trial, only to have up to 10s+ lags by the end of the game. It's unfortunate because their games are usually quite good from a story, gameplay mechanics and character point of view. Custom mode of play, transportable map, collectibles (the items vary), morphing objects in each scene. The map also shows where collectibles and morphing objects still need to be found, which is always helpful if you're trying to find everything. HOGs offer an alternative puzzle game. I'm giving this developer one last try and will update my review if the lags get seriously annoying :)

No Way
Downloaded this game this morning. When I saw it was Elefun I immediately deleted it. Graphics, art, storyline are always the WORST! NEVER buy an Elefun game. They are GARBAGE!!!
Horrible
Slow, clunky long lag times, unclear graphics... Don't waste your money!
Not a bad game
Had a good story.found the map wasn't always right and you had to follow your own directions.worth playing
Good game
I love this series but I sure missed our cute little friend.
