Demonic Ink Stuck
Could not grab the last demonic ink so I was stuck not able to finish the game. This has happened in other Big Fish games.
Transition from location to location was a bit long.

Was going ok......
Now stuck on the demonic ink, can't get the last drop of ink into the bottle. Now the game is stuck and I can't progress any further.
What a disappointment!
I was absolutely loving this game UNTIL, very close to the end, I came to the HOP where I had to collect the demonic ink. There is a 'glitch' that means I am unable to collect the final drop of the ink and so cannot complete the game. So disappointed!
Please correct the glitches
Great game, good story- but got stuck on the doll, can't put it together thanks for update soon!

Note to Minipaws Volunteer: thank you so much for your sentiments! None of us work for BigFish! As a matter of fact, we fight them every step of the way! That is why I created this team. Some call me delusional, but it really doesn't matter. I feel all reviewers have a voice and I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings or try to minimize what they say. Knowledge is power, but it's not enough for a gamer to rate a game one star and say they hate it. That doesn't give BF or the developers an inkling of what the issues are, and then they cannot fix it. Tell BF and the developer why you feel that way! That is why I put a team together; it never meant that I think others are unimportant. I just wanted to improve this genre.
On to the game. It had many positive features but was unfortunately ruined by other problematic issues. First the good. You could customize settings. There was an excellent teleport map, which also gave you a star so you would know when all collectibles were found. It was lengthy and had a decently long bonus adventure. There was a back button, so you didn't accidentally tap to a different location. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble.You had a fire salamander to help you. There was variation in the HO scenes and a mahjong game as an alternative. There was a very good variety of puzzles. Some were rotational, others of skill, still others with codes, painting and creating elixirs.
On to the negatives. The storyline was a bit convoluted, so it was a good thing that objectives were regularly updated. The graphics were colorful but not crisp or sharp. There was considerable lag time transitioning between locations, which made the game tedious rather than fun. The game had several glitches while using inventory or trying to assemble items, for example the puppet figurine. If any of you had these problems and couldn't complete the game, I found a fix for them. Do NOT save or quit your game. Close it out and restart it. That will take you a step back to try again, and I was able to complete the task on the second try.
My review stands at 3 stars: average! Elefun really needs to fix the lag time and problems using inventory. I have complained to BigFish but others need to do so as well. It takes a village to accomplish change. One thing I believe we can all agree on: we love this genre of gaming, and we want higher quality games, and more than 2 games per week!

Additional note to Minipaws Volunteer: Snooper is a lovely woman who had a pacemaker implanted. I believe she still games but doesn't feel like reviewing. I adore her and miss her too, and she is still a part of this team! Thanks for inquiring about her! She was so supportive when I spent 8 days in the ICU, and I am forever grateful.

Wow, loving this game
I am still only halfway through this game, it is really long, quite a large download. It is amazing and different, games within games, puzzles inside hos, the map is very clear and shows if you have found all the collectables and where to go next, it is spooky and makes you jump, different puzzles. I have had to knock off 1 star unfortunately because of loading, but I can put up with that because it is such a brilliant game. I have not encountered any other problems mentioned by other players and I have only got an iPad 2.

Very entertaining!
I almost didn't buy because of the bad reviews. I gave it a try and was thoroughly entertained. I love interaction games and this game was perfect. Always sometime to do like finding collections or interactive HOA and mini games. I did have a little lag time at the end, but this game is 2.3GB and to be expected. And, I was able to play flawlessly, even the bonus level.

Good
Would be 5 stars, but the game is a little slow to change scenes. Some of the hidden object scenes are really good, as in hard to find objects
Glitches
Of all the games this was engaging and interesting.
However we experienced a glitch here and there with the puzzles and fixing tools together. This was a little frustrating as it affected the performance score at the end.
We've had this before with Big Fish, and it spoils the fun.

2 big issues
Based on the asinine story line, I would give this a 3 star, only because the HO SCENES were ok. But the lag times and map issues dropped that to a 2 star. Now I see the newest game that came out yesterday most folks rate it a 1 or 2. Makes me wonder about standards dropping at BF I hope I'm wrong, as I own hundreds of BF games, but please BF get your developers back on track before others bail out
