### 5/5 — excellent game

*2021-03-07, version 1.0.0*

excellent game, even if the bonus game is a bit short. The only problem i found was in Cafe (bonus game) where i couldnt use donuts to open the cupboard. Had to terminate the game and try again.
I wish there were more games like this one, but it seems everyone tries to make fantasy based games and i dont like them

### 4/5 — Loading issues

*2017-03-13, version 1.0.0*

I don't know if this is apple or big fish but I had to try downloading this game on several different occasions before today I just sat here keeping my phone awake and it took 30 minutes to download. On my new iPhone 5s. On my iPhone 5 it took a game this size 5min to load, and faster on this phone. The final download was successful and it took me about 3.5 hours to play the game, a glitch once or twice but I exited and restarted the app and it continued fine.

### 5/5 — Pretty good game!

*2016-07-16, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed it

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2016-05-23, version 1.0.0*

I liked this game.  It was certainly long enough for the cost, and the bonus game that came with it with fairly extensive as well.  Plot was good as well, which is not always true with these games.  about the only thing i didn't like was a minigame in the bonus section which is a side-scroller.  the controls were really terrible and frustrating.

### 5/5 — Good fun

*2016-04-12, version 1.0.0*

Things one finds actually make sense, good story line, good hints. Only complaint is that the text is so small.

### 1/5 — Please fix the game

*2016-03-23, version 1.0.0*

When I got the game it was great but now ever time I try to play it now the screen turns black. Please fix it big fish and I will change my Review.

### 5/5 — Surface, alone in the mist

*2016-03-16, version 1.0.0*

I have greatly enjoyed all the variety in this game as well as the graphics.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2016-03-15, version 1.0.0*

I love the different hidden object games and the mini games. I could use a little less hopping around. I would buy a sequel.

### 5/5 — One of the best.

*2016-03-09, version 1.0.0*

I usually love Elephant Games and this one doesn't disappoint. Lots of puzzles. I am really enjoying it. I like to play this type of game on my computer but this one translates well to my tablet.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2016-03-07, version 1.0.0*

Unfortunately, I am not alone in having the game quit in the middle of loading. Very disappointing.
