  • Does not work well ... don’t buy

    Normally like their games ... this is a poorly programmed piece of trash. Half the the time you touch the pieces and nothing happens. Who ever developed this game should go back to coding school.
  • Bleh

    Too old to run well on iPad. Herky jerky in many places. But even if new it’s marginally entertaining and badly paced. Later titles from this developer are better but this one stands out as particularly under done.
  • Fun game!

    I love Domini games, it’s like they never read the “handbook” for making a HOPA, so they are different in many ways from other developers. The mini games were stupid easy, although creative. I especially liked the hidden stars in clouds game at the beginning. This game was apparently made a while ago, before Domini started giving the option of easy or hard for the mini games. Still an entertaining game. The touchscreen mechanics were a bit off, sometimes had to tap more than once, which is annoying. I did not receive the achievement for finding 3 objects in 3 seconds, if that was for the hos, then it didn’t register correctly. If it meant just in gameplay, then that’s silly, the flow of the game determines how quickly items are found. I loved the little rabbits you collect, good and bad ones based loosely on the 7 deadly sins. Also kitties to find in every scene, which gives you a match 3 to play. There is also a quiz on the achievements page, don’t miss it, it’s not obvious. Overall a good game, but deducted a star for touchscreen mechanics and missing achievement.
  • Fun

    Very entertaining makes time pass quickly
  • Love this game!

    Playing for the third time. It may be a little older but it holds up and still is a favorite.
  • FLAW/bug in the game

    There is a flaw that doesn't let you continue or finish the game. I've tried twice and I've played these games for many years and seen everything.
  • A little too short and easy

    The game started with a lot of potential and its pretty good. It seemed too short. The free trail was very short. It would be nice to be able to go back and look for missing collectibles after finishing a game. The graphics were good and I like different types of HOPS. Glad I got it on sale.
  • No.

    Short trial with uninspiring mini-games, eons of loading time between scenes (so don't accidentally move around), more eons waiting for your magic box to open, horrible dialogue and disturbingly rendered characters.

    Especially the hotel manager's weirdly heaving bosoms. What the heck???

    Will not be purchasing full version. Yech!!

    Big Fish has had great games in the past. Recently, they've been pretty disappointing. What's going on???

    I'll be replaying some of my "oldies but goodies" BF games instead.
  • Rather Boring

    Good map with teleport. Nice graphics. Boring games with "iffy" directions. Find the shape HO scenes. Foolish "find the word in the sentence" HO scenes. Locate the cats in the locations. Yawn. Complete the items with the plus sign, i.e. complete the puzzle. Do a little math. That's it. Boring. Free game over in mere minutes. Waste of time and money. I SO miss the old BF, where the games were coming quickly, were great and yet, cheaper. Churchill Downs has ruined a great gaming company.
  • Pretty Good

    I liked this one. I like the many puzzles peppered throughout the game. The graphics were great and I liked the story line where you had to find jewels for the crystal ball in order to go back and forth between worlds.
    I subtracted a point because there were a few times when I had to click repeatedly in order to choose or pick up an object.
