  • Good game; but a great game for $3.

    No technical issues on my iPad Mini. Good story, good graphics with okay dialogue. The game went easily enough along and then there were some challenging games and moments that I had to really think about what to do next. I've just gotten through the main game which was a good long length. I'm looking forward to planning the bonus.
  • Solidly Good Game BUT Short

    Overall, I would recommend this game if you can get it on sale. I would have given this game a higher number of stars because, as I find with most games by Big Fish, the art was beautiful, the storyline was pretty good, and the puzzles were varied and fun. However, I felt that this particular game was rather short. I managed to complete the entire game and the bonus chapter in under four days, which means MAYBE 10-12 hours of gameplay. Had I paid the full price of $6.99, I would’ve been quite upset, but since I got it on sale for $2.99, I’m OK with it.

    Also, there were two puzzles that did not seem to work correctly for me. (I am playing on my iPhone 7 Plus, so I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.) I ended up having to skip those puzzles because I couldn’t get them to work. They were the same kind of puzzle where you had to match three or more of a kind, one was in the main game and one was in the bonus chapter, but both times nothing I did seemed to allow me to move pieces or do anything other then make the pieces flash.
  • Loved it!

    Great game- only issue was some of the text in the bonus game was in really broken English.
  • 😭STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?🙌🏻
    Why is there a non stop flow of black bar comments streaming down from the top screen?? ☂️
    It's so incredibly annoying I finally deleted the game.
    OMG! 🗣🤺
    MAKE IT STOP!
    I can't make a single move without an immediate black bar comment popping down to inform me about the blatantly obvious-every last detail of the situation/scene, the people...it's MADDENING!
    😡Especially in the HOP/puzzles! Its like an unstable crazy person constantly yakking away....that comes up constantly as I navigate throughout...and there's NO way to prevent it??!!
    Why have the Custom level?
    Even after I opted out of ALL available help- it continues!!
    And there's no disable option!?Arrggh!
    The only thing I want for Xmas:
    🎄🎅🏻PLEASE REMOVE! 💭🔫
    👉🏻Update asap before you drive people insane.

    Ps: I am seriously questioning the new "Premium Games" rolling out ...immediately following have hundreds of five stars ratings....yet less than a fraction have written reviews.

    Not to hard! Not to easy! Just right!
  • Thoughts

    Great game but way to fast
  • Complex and interesting

    The puzzles mini games are interesting and not too simple.
  • Started great, but got to point where no further options were available

    Task is to remove dome from water of life, but can’t get bacteria water of life. Map shows no area with actions to complete and hints show “nothing to do here” in all areas I can travel to - so paid for game I can’t complete
