### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-03-07, version 1.0.0*

Very frustrating game! Objects have to be placed precisely or won’t work. Stupidly simple games to just guesswork. And what’s with having to do everything three times?!? Don’t waste your time, money, or energy!

### 1/5 — Can’t unlock game

*2022-10-21, version 1.0.0*

With all the Big Fish Premium games I can’t unlock any of them, it just says purchase fail whenever I try without even trying my card. Every single game has been like this and I am beyond frustrated.

### 5/5 — Excecellent

*2022-07-24, version 1.0.0*

Compliments to madhead games. A semi scary game that ended up being a lot of searching through labs for things. Decent plot. Like four hours playing time for just the main game not including the bonus game

### 3/5 — Agree with disappointed.

*2022-04-01, version 1.0.0*

My game glitched at the radar plug area.  I tried for ten minutes, searching the whole area to get the plug to attach, to no avail.  So frustrating when you are close to the end.  Good luck.
Obviously Disappointed filled out their review 3 years ago and they still haven’t fixed it.

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2020-11-13, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-07-19, version 1.0.0*

Excellent

### 1/5 — The mini game cannot be completed on IPad.

*2020-03-28, version 1.0.0*

The gauge in the mini game after the zoo won’t let you move the dial it just keeps adjusting the screen size. So I can’t finish the mini game, can’t get the clips, so can’t finish the main game.

### 5/5 — Another good’un

*2020-03-02, version 1.0.0*

So far so good.  Seems to be another good game with music a graphics and puzzles

### 4/5 — Is it Eipix??

*2020-02-07, version 1.0.0*

Mad Head brings us a distinctly Eipix-like game. The mechanics are eerily similar to the Hidden Expedition series, such as close-ups opening and closing with gold bars, instead of zooming in. The morphs in HOs are a traditional Eipix feature, even the morph indicator is the same swirl as Eipix! PLEASE TELL ME EIPIX HAS NOT BOUGHT MAD HEAD! Ok, onto the game. The story is of course save the world from the villain, but it’s an intriguing take. Story really didn’t make a whole lot of sense. As mentioned, morphs in HOs, and Mad Head logos in every scene. The HOs were 95% list type, one cool match the cloud shapes to silhouettes, and one match the texture. Not much innovation there, Which is not like Mad Head. No glitches, although a couple of times it took a few tries to get an item to work. Puzzles were better than most games; it actually took a bit of time to do a few of them. Yay! Game length was about average. You can go back and find collectibles you missed after the game is over, which is always nice. In the extras, there are jigsaw puzzles to do, and a treasure hunt. Once you complete the treasure hunt you get a large HO to play. There is also an “ultimate game” to play, which is the last mini game in the bonus chapter. It’s an arcade style game, and you try to keep from getting hit for as long as you can. 
I deducted half a star for lack of innovation, another half bc of the Eipix-type play, and another half for storyline. Real rating of 3.5 rounded up to 4 for the neat extras.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-12-12, version 1.0.0*

Good awakening for my age..79. Lol keeps u alive
