### 4/5 — Pas trop difficile

*2023-11-08*

Ce jeux a beaucoup d’actions logiques donc agréable à jouer

### 5/5 — Wanderful!

*2022-04-03*

Molto bello

### 1/5 — Quit working

*2021-05-22, version 1.0.0*

Took forever to load, (compared to all other games I’ve played) on original install. Enjoyed play, paid for full game. Two days later I tried to open app and it was a black screen—-nothing! Deleted it to reload. Back to taking forever to load and if it does load I have lost all progress. I would like, and deserve, a refund for this game.

### 5/5 — Five stars plus

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.0*

Love this game beautiful scenes and animals to collect

### 1/5 — Why

*2021-03-14, version 1.0.0*

So this is the 3rd big fish game I have purchased that once I pay won’t continue with the game. Makes me so angry. Each time big fish offer a voucher but the voucher only works on a computer. I want my money back. Or fix your games so I can play what I have paid for.

### 4/5 — Surface 8

*2020-08-24, version 1.0.0*

A good game.  The hint button is a little too slow compared to other games I’ve played but besides that it keeps you on your toes.

### 4/5 — Short game time

*2020-05-07, version 1.0.0*

If you like these sort of games then you’ll enjoy this, but it should be priced cheaper as much shorter than others...

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-03-21, version 1.0.0*

The mini games just do not work.  Bad info and lack of function.

### 5/5 — Clever

*2020-03-19, version 1.0.0*

Love the surface games, difficult then easy, then challenging, covers all aspects of playing these games, excellent graphic, puzzles are all doable, some will take some working out but love the challenge, worth buying, hos are a delight, not just plain search and find, and love looking for the extras

### 4/5 — Enjoyed this game

*2020-03-12, version 1.0.0*

Moves quickly between scenes, good puzzles and enjoyed the music. Entertaining.
