### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-12-12, version 2.1*

I liked it, it was fun and very cute.  I would like to see more!

### 1/5 — 4.99 for what

*2014-02-25, version 1.7.1*

Evaluation time too short. Was a little glitchy. Didnt get far into game to decide if I wanted to see more. Not a good deal.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2014-01-09, version 1.7.1*

Every time I get to helping the clown with makeup it crashes & I can't move on.

### 1/5 — Jake

*2013-12-03, version 1.7.1*

I hate having to pay and I will not pay to move on

### 2/5 — Free version too short

*2013-01-17, version 1.7.1*

This is the shortest free app of its type I have ever played.  Takes five minutes at most and I would never pay $4.99 price to continue game, as I would only play and delete, as I think most do. Lower the price and you will make more money in the long term!! Otherwise story line and graphics were good.

### 1/5 — Good for kids maybe

*2012-12-24, version 1.7.1*

Simple, very wordy.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2012-05-30, version 1.7.1*

This is a great game. More please.

### 5/5 — Favorite HOG/Adventure Game

*2012-04-12, version 1.7.1*

This game was awesome.  I hope the developer does more of them.  It blows the G5 and BigFish games in the same genre away and priced much more reasonably.  Awesome, awesome job.  Please make more game like this.

### 1/5 — Hard to read HdO game

*2012-03-12, version 1.7*

Glad there was a free version so I didn't waste $5 on another boring hidden object game.  Especially one that gives me a headache from trying to read the tiny text.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2012-02-23, version 1.7*

I haven't had any problems with this game at all. I really like this game a lot and have played it a couple of times already. Please release more games like this and soon!!
