### 3/5 — Only so so

*2023-07-13, version 1.0.1*

Not the best game I’ve played. Some puzzles are indecipherable and I cannot even figure out the instructions. On the other hand there is a very enjoyable minigame that reappears several times during the game - I even came to look forward to it. There are too many “match the shapes” games and some rely on dark backgrounds to make it hard to see the shapes. There are a lot of familiar (and repeated more than once in the game) tropes - such as you have to oil the rusty whatever to get it working. Find the missing parts to assemble the whatever. You know what I mean. The only one I did NOT see in this game is find food for the hungry animal to get whatever….
I would say this an uneven game. No one thing stands out - although I enjoyed the friendships that were depicted as well as one or two really hilarious moments of dialogue. I would never play this game again - which is saying something because I love to play old favorites again. So - only 3 stars.

### 4/5 — WOW

*2022-06-12, version 1.0.1*

WAY above average game from Big Fish! Excellent, unique puzzles with lots of over the top animation one doesn’t find in the run-of-the-mill HO games you usually find.
Well worth the price of admission! You won’t regret it.

### 3/5 — App froze

*2022-04-26, version 1.0.1*

The game froze as I was trying to open the golem with the jack.   It froze and made typing-like noises.  I exited, turned off, and restarted.  It remained frozen with weird noises.

Have deleted profile and attempting to play.  It worked fine the first 2 times I played the game.  It was on the 3rd attempt that it froze.  I read that there is on technical help.  

The writing is small.  Makes it difficult.  

Some of the suspense/music is annoying.   Maybe it’s suppose to make it very very suspenseful.  But if fails.

### 2/5 — Boring

*2021-04-17, version 1.0.1*

I play all the hidden object games I can get my hands on, and I think this may very well be the most boring game I have ever played in my life.

### 3/5 — Trial was fun but paid version was frustrating.

*2020-03-08, version 1.0.1*

I enjoyed the trial version (which was too short) but after I paid for it the mini games were often unresponsive to my touch. I deleted it because my sanity is more important than $2.99.

### 3/5 — Amazing graphics

*2019-11-07, version 1.0.1*

But storyline not my cup of tea, I couldn’t wait to finish to be honest. Boring....

### 4/5 — Writing

*2019-05-25, version 1.0.1*

Writing is too small

### 4/5 — Liked it

*2018-09-05, version 1.0.0*

Good graphics pretty good storyline

### 3/5 — 😀

*2018-07-06, version 1.0.0*

Nothing wrong with the game just the storyline didn’t do it for me.

### 3/5 — OK Game

*2018-06-18, version 1.0.0*

The story of the game doesn't do anything for me. Game play has me entertained though.

### 5/5 — Good enough game, but waaaaaay too short.

*2018-06-15, version 1.0.0*

^this.... I got it on “sale” yesterday and I’m honestly disappointed I paid my $5 for it. :(

### 4/5 — DOH - La Fille Du Tonnerre

*2018-06-14, version 1.0.0*

Suite intéressante de la série.

### 3/5 — Not the best

*2018-06-14, version 1.0.0*

The plot was not consistent.  The text was tiny.  Did not live up as a sequel in this new series of games in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Exciting Game! Fun!

*2018-06-13, version 1.0.0*

I usually do not like fantasy games, but this is an exception. Loved the artwork, interactive and varied HOPs and puzzles. Not an overly complicated plot. Long-playing main game and bonus story. Collectible objects to find are clearly drawn at the bottom of the scenes.

Suggestions: needs a faster refresh rate.  Make it possible to locate missed collectibles in the extras section.

### 1/5 — So bad

*2025-07-06, version 1.0.1*

I enjoy and own many of your games this one was bad guys. The mini games were unplayable.

### 1/5 — Text is too small to read

*2023-03-11, version 1.0.1*

Text too tiny to read - what’s the point?

### 1/5 — How do u contact developer?

*2019-08-22, version 1.0.1*

App got stuck in middle of game and there is no way to get help with it.  Help!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Too small for mobile

*2019-03-03, version 1.0.1*

No idea what I have to do as the writing and scenes you can't expand are far too small, pity as this might have been a good game.

### 1/5 — WARNING Not for Photosensitive Players!

*2018-06-21, version 1.0.0*

Do not play this game if you are sensitive to flashing lights, rapid flickers, strobes, explosions, etc. This game would be extremely dangerous for those prone to photosensitive epilepsy, seizure, migraines, vertigo, etc. 

I could not play this game for more than a few minutes without feeling distinctly sick.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointiong

*2018-06-13, version 1.0.0*

Got to the place where I had tied an umbrella up to attach to something else....couldn’t get any further! Tried everything, used the hints and guide, its a glitch!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2018-06-12, version 1.0.0*

Didn’t even make it 5 minutes in. Terrible game.

### 1/5 — Tonnerre

*2018-06-11, version 1.0.0*

Pas terrible mais c’est mon avis

### 1/5 — Trial way too short!

*2018-06-11, version 1.0.0*

We aren't even given one full chapter as a trial. 
 This is much too short a time to form any opinion on whether the game will be worth buying.
  Seems like the trials are getting shorter and shorter. WHY?  If Big Fish wants us to buy these games, they need to re-think this policy.
  I'll wait to buy it until it goes on sale for $2.99.

### 2/5 — Interesting game but….

*2023-08-09, version 1.0.1*

It is an interesting game but, the game is frozen with the jack stuck in the man’s mouth and I cannot exit or close this part of the game.

### 5/5 — Thinking game

*2022-06-20, version 1.0.1*

Just started loving it ….not so predictable as most …have to a think a bit but not so hard annoying.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-05-14, version 1.0.1*

Brilliant game, really enjoyable

### 5/5 — Great fun and addictive

*2020-11-07, version 1.0.1*

Enjoying this game. Hope it doesn’t end too soon.  Add new chapters

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2020-07-23, version 1.0.1*

I love it

### 5/5 — Wow, loved this

*2020-03-21, version 1.0.1*

Luckily I only paid £4.99 while looking in a sale, which I have to do now, although I have 100’s to play again, since Big Fish stopped making any more. It is Feb 2020 and we are isolated because of the Coronavirus outbreak which has taken over the world so I think all games should be cheap at the moment. I thought this game was a good length, colourful with a good map, not too many hops and different puzzles. What I like most was all the extras at the end which other games don’t have, well done.

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2019-03-21, version 1.0.1*

手が込んだゲームでした。ストーリーもグラフィックも良かった！
ミニゲームは簡単ですが目新しい物もあります。
ボーナスのエンディングが2型ありましたが、未選択のエンディングも見せてくれるのは嬉しい

### 5/5 — So far good

*2019-01-01*

I like the game so far. I like the realistic of the characters. This is very important to me when playing the games. I like the puzzles too. I think I’m going to pay to play the whole game as long as it keeps my interest.

### 5/5 — Best Big Fish game I’ve played thus far

*2018-11-16, version 1.0.1*

Great graphics and story line. It’s very smooth. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT !!!!!

*2018-07-13, version 1.0.0*

What an AWESOME GAME. Had a great time playing this one. It’s different than the horror or rather dark ones. Its an adventure you dont want to miss. Very very well laid out game with a different kind of story line. It has something for everyone. A MUST TRY.... I bet you’ll buy😉🤩

A SHOUT OUT to all my old 🇨🇦 gal friends. Ive missed you too 🤗. I see your message along the reviews. Thanks sooo much. 😎❤️💜❤️💜

### 5/5 — Very Exciting!

*2018-06-16, version 1.0.0*

Mad Head brings yet another fascinating and original adventure!
I found this game to be Enjoyable and unique in so many areas.
Yes, the graphics were intense, however I did not find them to be a problem with eye strain or a headache. In fact, they not only fit the storyline, but were an added plus to the game. Lot’s to see and do - Characters roles very well done. Hidden object scenes were of a variety with some very unique twists. Collectibles and morphing objects to find, along with a teleporting map. Lot’s to absorb, take in and enjoy 😊. I personally Loved it and highly recommend you give it a try. You will either love ❤️ it or hate it. It is all on personal taste.
Thanks to the developer and Big Fish 🐠 for releasing such Great Entertainment!!! 
P.S. Looking forward to their next release.
Happy 😃 Gaming Everyone. Enjoy the Adventure!
KdBoots 🤠
