  • Those puzzles were HOSs?

    Like others I enjoyed the game but thought there were too few hidden object scenes and too many multilevel puzzles. Imagine my surprise when checking out the Extras to discover at least eight of what I thought were puzzles were actually HOSs. It's an interesting use of hidden object scenes, and they were more challenging, but it still left me feeling a bit let down.

    I really enjoyed the HOSs I knew were HOSs. The music was good and contributed to the gameplay. So why not a higher rating? Well, I felt good when I solved the puzzles (except a couple when I realized I needed to solve a third version), but the thought of doing it all again . . . no, thank you. Still it's a good game and I'm glad I played.
  • Compelling

    I had fun with this game - several times, and it's complexity made each time a new game.
  • Just ok 〰

    Didn't care for this one..way too much character dialogue and frustrating puzzle mechanics made for a boring game..one I couldn't wait for it to end. This is my third review on this game, I continue to campaign for a DTE free zone..where the AppStore review process can be used as intended. Thanks!
  • The sound won't turn off

    For me, that's a breaking point. I set my options and turned off the sound. But it came on anyway. Duh! It also won't let you turn the time for hints, and skip to less than 15 seconds. Sorry, nut when I decide I want a hint or to skip, I already thought I through. I don't need the game telling me I have to wait!
  • Enjoyed!

    Mad Head games is always unique in their storyline & game play. Found this one a little difficult to follow at times. However, the graphics, characters, voiceovers, hidden object scenes & puzzles were done very differently and well thought out. This game won't be everybody's taste, however I appreciate the originality and attention to detail that they put into their games. Very late in reviewing this as I replayed it - due to the fact that Big Fish let us down with no new release - just a sale on previously released & previously purchased games for the majority of us. I feel this was a Very Bad move on their part as we all have come to expect at least 2 new releases a week. What is worse is that Sable Maze : Forbidden Garden has been listed for days on their home page as a new release - which incidentally said was not available in the U.S. Store! Not Cool - Now I see that as of today they have removed it. What's up with that? Back to review of game - Give it a try and I think that you will enjoy it.

  • Dark Realm

    Great game! Really pretty art work, and unique storyline.
  • Death Realm

    Enjoyed main game very enjoyable. But bonus round would not play beyond using shield to defend myself...screen keeps backing up to previous screen. Nothing would work.
  • Boring

    Not very exciting and slow. Just want to finish the game since I paid for it and move on to another. Seems to be problems also
  • Winds

    Really missed a map. Had to hit the hint button more than I wanted, but all in all a very graphic game. I didn't know to collect feathers until I missed the first three and could not go back to collect them. Still playing, but I'm not a gamer and feel totally lost most of the time. Please add a map to help us novice players. For me, it's just ok. Key West Jessa
  • Tedious and not fun

    I normally love MadHead games but I found this one to be oddly tedious. I didn't find the storyline to be particularly engaging or interesting, however, the main issue for me was with the tedious puzzles. Three levels to complete puzzles was annoying, I skipped many once I hit the third level. It didn't help that many of the puzzles didn't work well. Bonus chapter was particularly bad. Several HO's were also tedious.
