Not very hard, but some very clever mini games. And blessedly silent when asked. I do wish devs would not put little arcade style mini games in these hidden object type games. If someone wants to play an arcade game there are lots of great ones around. Those of us who play these games are more interested in puzzles, thinking things through. At the very least any arcade type game should be skippable. Really good bonus game too ### 4/5 — Very engaging *2018-08-01, version 1.0.1* Excellently made. Beautiful graphics, music and interesting storyline. Font size could be much larger and it would be great to have the ability to zoom into scenes to find the collectibles. Still highly recommend this game. ### 3/5 — Short and painfully easy *2018-07-31, version 1.0.1* There is nothing technically wrong with this game. I experienced no glitches and it has all the standard features like a teleporting map and configurable difficulty. The graphics and soundtrack won't win awards, but they are acceptable. The thrill ends there, though. Mad Head is known for its innovative touch, and that is completely absent from the game. There is some variety to the HOPs, but they are all quite simple. The majority of the mini games consist of "press the buttons in the right order." The trademark hidden Mad Head logo is present in every scene, but it stands out in different colors so even THAT is easy to find. This linear HOAG seems to have been created for beginners. Those new to Big Fish may enjoy it, but I think it will be a disappointing yawn for most players. My ranking is 3.5, and I scaled down because I don't want to encourage more games of this nature. ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-07-31, version 1.0.1* I really enjoyed this game. Mad Head Games delivered again. Great plot and suspense. The only problem I had was that the game was a little short. Besides that I think it was a hit. Note to Big Fish: I do wish we could have few games with suspense, history and a little romance. Just a personal request! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fright Chasers *2019-10-17, version 1.0.1* Had to start over because there was no key to unlock compartment ### 1/5 — Crap *2018-08-01, version 1.0.1* Bought this game. Zero sound. Refund ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE LOOKING for A CASUAL GAME *2018-07-31, version 1.0.1* It seems like a typical HOG game, but there are a couple puzzles that you cannot skip. I'm so sorry; I'm disabled in my arms so I can't do the (sort of) quick-reaction boat game that pops up. Excuse me for existing and expecting a way to skip a puzzle the way EVERY OTHER GAME OF THIS TYPE permits, but thanks for taking my money to remind me of my disability. I just wanted to play a relaxing game, but like with so many others things, I can't do this. FAIL. Like the rest of my life because of this disability. Thanks a lot. ### 2/5 — Frustrating, boring, short *2019-01-14, version 1.0.1* Puzzles are soooo easy. The story is not fleshed out, and therefore you have no interest in it. The clunky controls and glitchy touchscreen were the worst. I tapped twelve times on the knife to finish the sun in a hop, and 8 times for something else. And you’ll tap tap tap all over the place in the available scenes looking for anything you can pick up, and after going over and over the same area, you can finally pick up something you’ve been tapping on all along!! And the main game was done in 1-2 hours, and that’s with all the glitchiness slowing you down! And Idon’t use hints or skips, so if you do it will be even shorter! Mad Head really just phoned this one in, thank you for wasting my money on this piece of garbage. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2018-08-03, version 1.0.1* I liked the game enough to buy it. But after “unlocking” it, I lost all my inventory and a scene earlier in the game appeared. Too much work to straighten it out so I began a new game. Annoying. ### 2/5 — Really disappointing *2018-07-31, version 1.0.1* Technical glitches, very short trial and overall not very interesting. Sigh. ### 3/5 — Eh *2020-03-28, version 1.0.1* Not bad bit too much story not enough game. ### 3/5 — Stuck *2019-10-27, version 1.0.1* I can’t find the key in the scene with the ATV It won’t let me return to the tent ### 3/5 — Not the usual quality *2018-08-03, version 1.0.1* UPDATE - once again BF neglects iOS players with only one new game this week. Many of us have already played the games that are on sale. PLEASE listen to your loyal base and treat us equally with the PC/MAC players. I was rather disappointed with this MadHead game. It has a dated feel as the HOs were revisited and there was considerable difficulty in combining objects. Overall not their usual quality. It was also shorter than recent games. ### 3/5 — Fright Chasers: Dark Exposure by LynxMinx *2018-08-01, version 1.0.1* This game was the first in a new series by Mad Head. However, it seemed like it was a “lite” version of the type of gameplay normally associated with this developer. We were given the usual perks: customizable settings, teleport map, complex items and a gimmick (the paranormal camera). Collectibles were limited to the spiral Mad Head symbol, and morphing objects to the HO scenes. Certain zones could be viewed from two different perspectives. However, the entire game was mostly linear and overly simplistic, as if it had been “dumbed down” for a beginner player new to this genre. The HO scenes lacked the unusual and innovative aspects that we normally associate with Mad Head, and the puzzles/games were extremely easy and required little to no logic whatsoever. They were mostly either rotational puzzles or placing objects in a certain order. The graphics were not spectacular, and the storyline was trite and redundant. This game was extremely short, inclusive of the bonus adventure. There were some touch screen sensitivity issues as well, when attempting to use inventory items and while trying to combine items in the HO scenes. I guess it’s healthy to allow your brain to rest on occasion, but I prefer Mad Head at their best: insanely creative, quirky and challenging! The game was somewhat enjoyable to play but it wasn’t anything that was revolutionary, eccentric or amazing. My actual rating will remain at 3 stars. I didn’t totally detest this game; it was decent but not terrific. Truthfully I bought it because I was bored and wanted to play a new game. Hopefully we will be treated to something fantastic on Thursday. Happy gaming to all! Note to Tina: I read your review and could sense how frustrated you felt. I am under the impression that you are a relatively new gamer, at least to this genre and this developer. You could have skipped the boat game; there was a skip button at the bottom right of the gameplay interface. Did you possibly not complete the tutorial at the beginning of the game, which would have shown you how to skip a mini-game? The boat game is considered a game of dexterity and most of the time those types of games are able to be skipped, since elderly or disabled individuals could have difficulty with them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A shame Mad Head got out of mobile games *2022-09-07, version 1.0.1* This was a fun title and had great potential for a new series. MH made some of my most favorite games. I know business is business but still. I’m sorry they’re moved onto PC and console games. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-09-03, version 1.0.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2019-06-21, version 1.0.1* Such a great game, I highly recommend this one. Great storyline and the interactive portion is phenomenal. The bonus game was also brilliant. ### 5/5 — 👍🌟😍 *2018-08-14, version 1.0.1* Excellent game. Top notch as always mad head games.👏 Just played the bonus game and can’t wait for the next one 👌 ### 5/5 — Exciting Game, Not Overly Complicated *2018-08-03, version 1.0.1* I have been playing iPad hidden object games for several years, since my first iPad (iPad 2). I didn’t find this game to be too easy. No glitches! Mad Head is my favorite company. I don’t play in one session, so this game did not seem very short to me. Find Mad Head collectible logos throughout the scenes and within the HOPs.. Unlike the previous game, these logos were not overly hidden, just right! The HOPs were interactive and varied throughout the game. Puzzles are bright and easy to follow the directions. Extra section includes an extra super HOP and hidden objects to be found one-at-time. Suggestion: Please enable the ability to backtrack to find the missed hidden collectibles. You can find the missed morphing objects by replaying the HOPs. Great job! ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-08-03, version 1.0.1* Always love ❤️ Mad Head Games and their creativity! Tasks are interactive, graphics were crisp & clear. A variety of styles for hidden object scenes, lot’s of puzzles (none that were too difficult) Character voiceovers were good and the storyline was their bizarre style, which I personally found entertaining. Collectible to find in each scene and a morphing object to find in hidden object scenes. Had a lot of fun with this one! Boat 🚣‍♀️ scene was a nice touch. P.S. To Tina - Sorry for your disability, but just so you know their is an arrow on the bottom right of the boat scene that will skip that puzzle for you, so you can continue. Hope this helps! I recommend purchasing this game and enjoying the ride! 😀 Happy Gaming Everyone!!! Can’t wait for our next New Release, very difficult to stretch these shorter games out. KdBoots 🤠 Note To Big Fish 🐠 - Shorted another New Release this week? One new release a week is not enough - This being the only one! Why aren’t you listening to your reviewers who have regularly been buying your games? This is ludicrous to give us Sale Games that we already have bought and played for. Certainly, hope you make some changes soon - before you lose a great consumer base. I and others have expressed 2 New Releases a week were Not Enough and now you give us 1 (Pathetic) The 1 Game a week, this one and others have been way too short in length to begin with. Seriously thinking about doing something else with my time, in order to avoid this frustration and inconsistency. Really disappointed and thought your consumers, (IPad Users) meant more than throwing us crumbs. Suggestion: Try listening to the ones who have made your business what it is today. ### 5/5 — Exposure *2018-08-02, version 1.0.1* Loved it a bit of everything ### 5/5 — Big Nanna 65. *2018-08-02, version 1.0.1* Wow. Great game big fish. Graphics are amazing. Story line interesting. No glitches. ### 5/5 — Another great game 👍🏻 *2018-07-31, version 1.0.1* Just hoping this weekend games gonna be just as good and that it’s another dark one 😁👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Patn *2018-10-14, version 1.0.1* Pretty good game, although a bit dark and depressing. Long gameplay, and not bad bonus. No glitches until I wanted to write a review after I’d finished the game, then had to run around in circles to find the game again. Typed in Fright Chasers Dark Exposure but not found. System could do with an upgrade. Certainly not worth full price, but for Australians none of your games are - prices far too high. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
