### 1/5 — DEFECTIVE

*2023-05-08, version 1.0.0*

The is yet another game with the white lines and overlays. Unplayable.

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2022-05-30, version 1.0.0*

I have saw a lots of white squares

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad

*2021-09-08, version 1.0.0*

When I open this game (and other Surface games) the screen shows all the touchscreen hotspots as visible rectangles. No way to work around that!

### 1/5 — Needs update or pulled

*2021-08-29, version 1.0.0*

All sorts of graphic glitches; deleted immediately.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2020-04-21, version 1.0.0*

Very imaginative and well-thought out storyline, lovely scenery. I especially liked the desert of forgotten toys, with a giant rubber ducky in the background🐥😲. Characters are inventive. Puzzles are easy to medium. Hops are quite unique. Even though the puzzles were fairly easy, I still found this game enjoyable. I always like collecting the little flowers in this series, which unlock bonus hops, and there are morphing dolls of the characters to find as well. Game length is longer than average. Bonus story is good as well, elephant really put a lot of effort and creativity into this game!

### 4/5 — 👍 🤗 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

*2020-03-29, version 1.0.0*

Good game, excellent lengths of main and bonus sections. Mixed HOs and puzzles, nice story, very enjoyable and got it on sale....recommended 😉 👍 🥂

### 4/5 — Mixed reviews

*2019-12-23, version 1.0.0*

Very good minigames and HOPs.  Really liked the bonus chapter story line - great ending.  Hated the story line in main game.  Music and visuals ok.  No glitches.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-11-08, version 1.0.0*

Pretty lame storyline. Not a great game overall. Seems that pretty subpar for Big Fish

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-09-25, version 1.0.0*

Fantastic storyline and graphics. Long gameplay and brilliant bonus game as well. More of these please Big Fish

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-09-05, version 1.0.0*

Long bonus chapter. Loved the concept.
