I finished the game in an hour. Way overpriced for what it is. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2019-09-01, version 1.0.0* Good game but very short. Considering the price ### 3/5 — Enjoyable *2019-05-08, version 1.0.0* It is a reasonable length, but could have been longer. A fairly good variety of puzzles and an engaging story. The final puzzle in the bonus chapter is impossible, as you cannot change the aim without firing a ball - quite disappointing to have to just skip the final trial. I had given 4 stars before encountering this glitch. ### 3/5 — Dull *2019-05-01, version 1.0.0* Pleasant game on deal but very little challenge, few puzzles. ### 3/5 — Short easy game *2019-04-28, version 1.0.0* This game took less than a day to finish and I’m left feeling underwhelmed. The storyline was okay but could have been a lot better had they delved into some of the 4 prophecy characters more. And there were a lot of loose ends that just didn’t make sense. I felt like the developers were trying to meet a deadline more than make an enriching game. The trial is half the game! When you only have 19 scenes (vs 30 in other games) you know there’s a problem. I usually like Elephant games but this one was unimpressionable to me. ### 2/5 — Black screen *2018-12-17, version 1.0.0* Fun while it lasted til it stop working ### 3/5 — Chimeras *2018-08-19, version 1.0.0* A great game until it crashes and won't reload. ### 3/5 — 😉Mostly Enjoyable 👌🏻 *2018-01-12, version 1.0.0* I absolutely ❤️love 🐘Elephant they are one of my favorites: I can depend on them to deliver the best games/storylines, that include the most realistic graphics, most complex, challenging and fun HOP/puzzles: the main reason I play. I appreciate the active/interesting scenery, lighting-fast transport map, the "Can't Play Without" (CPW) Custom Level Option and 🐘'a distinct ease/flow throughout....all were delivered. 😉 ------- 👠But as much I love 🐘and the Chimeras Series...there was still too much back/forth and hoop-jumping. The "filler" toward the end-gathering the four Elements followed by collecting the six gems...was redundant overkill, and BORING. ⛑Q: Why not offer a really fantastic, complex and lengthy puzzle to wrap up the game, rather than the mind numbing tasks? ⏱This game is much too short for $6.99💸. Many of puzzles (especially the playing area) were simply too small for successful mobile play: (wake up mobile testers!) as the SKIP button placement is problematic, far too close to the edge of the puzzles and located where you'd rest your hand/fingers while holding or navigating. Which is why I accidentally selected SKIP several times...and during the longer puzzles I was really enjoying.....grrrr.👺 📝NOTE: 1. All HOPs desperately need a BACK/UNDO button - HINT option rather than just SKIP. 2. A Feedback Page upon completion the game: rather than scour the Big Fish Troubleshooting Page and App Reviews- use gamers immediate feedback to quickly discern/fix glitches, resolve issues, keep what works and incorporate what's missing.... Feedback is the best tool to improve and secure higher ratings! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (A reliable resource I use often as an HR Executive) 3.❗️PUZZLES Please add the puzzles to the bonus menu. Thank you and I'll look forward to Thursday's as always. 🙋🏼🌉 S.F ### 2/5 — Great until it started crashing *2017-02-26, version 1.0.0* I was enjoying this game, but unfortunately it keeps crashing at the same point, so I can't get any further :-( ### 2/5 — Way too expensive *2016-08-04, version 1.0.0* Good game but too expensive. The price rise in all BF games is crazy, they are too expensive now, not worth buying until they get on sale ### 3/5 — Ok gameplay, freezing when playing *2016-07-28, version 1.0.0* Usually have zero issues freezing even when others do. However every time I go back to the police officer for "directions" it freezes completely. Only this screen, did it twice on two different "directions/roads" Gameplay is mediocre at best. I do like the morphing objects and the chimeras on every scene. I downloaded the free trial. Will not be buying this one! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great until *2023-03-13, version 1.0.0* Loved the game so much I bought it. But the game no longer works. As soon as you open it, it goes black. I’ve tried restarting it, deleting and redownloading and offloading and downloading it again. Yet, nothing works. I get that the game is old but if we pay for it, it should still work. If not, at least give us a credit to purchase a newer game that would work. ### 1/5 — Good up until screen went black *2020-10-30, version 1.0.0* I settled in for the night with iPad ready to play game. Tapped on game black screen. Closed out game gave it a minute tapped on game black screen. Shut down iPad assuming that may be the problem, turned iPad back on tapped on game black screen. Highly aggravated. Went into Apple App click open on this game took me back to the beginning 😡😡Big fish dude, when I get halfway, again n that screen is black $2.99 refund $3and change credit to my account. Will update soon! ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-10-27, version 1.0.0* Wish I had of read the reviews first before buying as you pay for it but don’t get to play the game not the first time this has happen to me with big fish either and trying to get your money back is a nightmare as they blame apple store then apple store blame big fish so it’s continuous back and forth ### 1/5 — Where’s the rest of it? *2020-10-24, version 1.0.0* Seeing as this game was approximately half as long as every other hidden object game, it really should be advertised as a mini-game. I purchased this on sale and still feel ripped off. Save your money to buy a full length game folks! ### 1/5 — Rip Off!! *2020-02-29, version 1.0.0* Paid the £6.99 for the full game downloaded fully went to play it and it won’t load in any shape, way or form. So basically just shelled out money for nothing. AVOID! ### 1/5 — Another game that crashes *2018-05-05, version 1.0.0* This is the second BF game that I play for a while and then it starts crashing or just won’t open at all and is just a black screen. I’m tired of wasting my money. I feel like BFG quality is declining. ### 1/5 — Won't load *2018-05-03, version 1.0.0* Same for me. I played the trial version, paid for the complete game and now won't open. ### 1/5 — Chimeras: the signs of prophecy *2017-05-07, version 1.0.0* It would be a great game if the company would spend some time over quality controls. Payed $10 for a game that stalls half way through and no way out. Now I just lost $10 bucks and no one cares ... Certainly not BigFish. What a shame for this. Not worth buying any like this. ### 1/5 — Chimera. Prophecy *2016-12-31, version 1.0.0* Keeps freezing and I have to keep restarting ### 1/5 — Game won't load *2016-08-15, version 1.0.0* After paying for game, play for a little while. Close the game, would not load. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2022-10-30, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Not surprised *2020-10-28, version 1.0.0* I love most of the big fish games so there’s no surprise that this is awesome too! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2018-03-19, version 1.0.0* Once again Big Fish & Elephant Games team up and make an excellent game. Great puzzles and HOP’s. Fun to play with a good storyline. I enjoyed it! ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2017-11-01, version 1.0.0* It is so nice to come across a game that is fun in every way. I love the extras too- the chimeras and all. The graphics are impeccable, as usual with an elephant games, and the puzzles are varied and fun. My only problem is the game was too short. Thank goodness there is a bonus game included. ### 5/5 — Good one *2017-04-03, version 1.0.0* Really enjoyed this game. Great hops, puzzles, morphing objects. Good story line. ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-04-02, version 1.0.0* Fun easy play gam ### 5/5 — Tysgirl *2016-10-16, version 1.0.0* Fun fun fun ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-08-05, version 1.0.0* Challenging, fun! ### 5/5 — Really enjoy this game *2016-07-24, version 1.0.0* Great graphics. Runs smooth. Fun story line. ### 4/5 — Nicky *2020-07-17, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed this game, good puzzles and a good story I didn't have any crashing probs that others have mentioned --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
