  • Variety within the games great

    Like so many others - it just get a little hard to justify bing almost forced to fork out substantial amounts of real money to progress. In my opinion that's like wasting money on gambling - little return over time and eventual waste of money. In comparison other games still give you opportunity to continue to great levels without forking out.
    On the good side I love the constant opportunities to progress in new adventures and this gives incentive to continue playing.
    Graphics are awesome too. Well done on the story lines they keep it interesting as well. I've been playing this for several months now but will refuse to pay much more to buy assemblers.
    There seem to be several hitches (bugs I suppose) that will often halt the game at the point where you are about to collect special items and then - crash and your set back to pre challenge and you've lost that item - this has happened several times .... very frustrating.
    I also get a bit fed up with the constant request that comes up each time you've finished a round to join other G5 games .... wastes my time and spoils the enjoyment somewhat.
    Sorry for the ramble - but you did ask for honest feedback 🙃

  • Really Enjoying!

    So much I like about this game...the guided beginning steps, the daily treasures, the quests, various ways of searching the same place so it's never boring, the increasing difficulty where I sometimes lose all the items I'd gained because I ran out of time, etc. My favorite is comparing the scene side-by-side to find what's different. I also enjoy finding two of the same.

    Some items to note:
    - It would be great if you'd stop making certain items in the station white...it's impossible to see (literally).
    - Could we either zoom in more to the city on our iPads or make it so we don't have to scroll? One of the things I love about using my iPad is the not having to scroll so much...it should all be on one screen.
    - Monsters often hide treasures and you can't get to it until they move.
    - Many treasures require you to go someplace that isn't unlocked for another 50+ levels...can it start recognizing what level we're at and allowing us to only go to places we've either already unlocked or are 1 level away?
    - Items don't match even when doing the shadow find or two of the same. You could get used to even finding something in words then it doesn't look the same the first time an anomaly of some sort appears. For example, a heart could be a carved heart into a wooden object or what looks like a piece of a necklace.

  • Addicting, but could be better

    I've been playing just about two weeks I think, and I find it quite an addicting game. However, it is very difficult to complete collections due to low drop rate of chargers. Not enough experience gained from expelling monsters around the city, especially considering the amount of time it can take to acquire the weapons necessary to do so. Also, you are only given short bursts of play because of the amount of time to restore energy vs. energy needed to complete rooms/quests. You can play a lot faster if you spend money, which I'm sure is the developers main goal. After all, they have to make money. I just wish I could play longer at a time, and make better progress. Overall, I enjoy the game, it's a decent premise, and I wish there were more games that were just like it. The other hidden object games aren't similar enough for me to enjoy. Worth it for a free game, in my opinion!

  • Constant pop ups/adds

    The adds are insane. There are 5 adds to close on startup, and god forbid you miss that X to close it. Between mini-games is a constant G5 screech of “please please play our other games!” No, guys, your other games are garbage, I tried them, stop nagging. I mean, really, invitations from other players that can’t be deleted? I don’t want to stare at the notification that tells me I have “gifts” when it’s actually 5 invitations to play another one of your games that I have ALREADY TRIED AND DID NOT LIKE. Not to mention those sneaky adds that appear as you hit the OK button after a level. Did you think I would go ‘oh okay I guess I will download it since you just forced me to sit through the App Store loading screen.’ No, I just close the game in frustration. I made an in app purchase in hopes the ads would stop, worst 99¢ I ever spent. I would spend more if there wasn’t so much stress involved with just opening the game.
    If you can get past the constant popup stream, it’s a great game. Lots of mini games. Love the goal setting. Play it at home because they’ll decimate your data with surprise streaming video.

  • Fun but costly

    It's a challenging, fun game to play. It's addictive. My main complaints are that the time regenerates so slowly, and even if you collect everything necessary for a collection, it's almost impossible to get the last item that will give you the rewards you deserve, unless you want to spend real money! I also find it annoying that there are too many times when I just can't find the last item on my list when I'm at a location. It makes me believe that the item really isn't there. One way to remove my doubt would be to highlight the missing item so I know it's really there, and that the developer isn't just trying to get me to spend money for a tool that would find items automatically. The developer has no problem telling you that if you just had more tools (spend some money), you would have a faster, easier time finding what you're looking for.

  • Good

  • Alex R.

    The game is so busy on the home screen, it's difficult to navigate. Too many things floating around and distracting. A real $$ pit as buy buy buy is the way to play. Too many advertising screens popping up. Every second screen to play to has an advert. There are other same type games that don't advertise at all. Deleting the app. Lots of bugs as the collection is ready to collect, but there are still 7 outstanding items left to get or their way and buy! Deleting and moving on.
    Seems strange that I'm the first one star rating and most are from long numbered people and 5 stars.
