There are no additional things to find, such as morphing objects, puzzle pieces and the like. Story line is slow, graphics are so,so. Just want to finish the game and move on. ### 2/5 — Tideville *2019-02-07, version 1.0.2* Game won’t open! ### 2/5 — Patn *2017-12-28, version 1.0.2* Sorry, this might be a good game, but just playing the free part was sooo sloooow without a map and teleport. It’s not that old a game to omit these basics. Even for $2.99 it’s just not worth it. The interminable returns to the same HOGs doesn’t help either. Waste of time. ### 2/5 — Pretty basic. *2016-07-11, version 1.0.2* Glad I could try first. No map. Objects in inventory are named but fiddle to bring up. Definitely not worth $11AU. ### 2/5 — Boring. Poor design compared to their other games *2016-03-08, version 1.0.2* I play many of this companies games every month for a couple of years now. I can say this one uses all the usual tricks over and over with very little pay off. I hardly leave reviews. But I was annoyed enough with this release to do one. ### 3/5 — Whispered secrets *2016-02-19, version 1.0.2* It fun to play. I thought it gets confusing at times but that's y we have brains lol to use n be creative. It was worth getting the other half but your games could be cheaper cuz I buy a lot of your games and has cost me quit a bit. ### 3/5 — Tide ills *2016-01-19, version 1.0.2* Not happy with game. Too many bugs and boring hidden scenes. Art work good. Execution flawed ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-01-11, version 1.0.2* Just keeps on crashing ### 2/5 — Ok game but not great *2016-01-11, version 1.0.2* The gameplay was pretty long so that was a pro. But so many cons. No map, game crashed quite a few times, you constantly have to search for where the hidden object game is located in order to move forward, and STOP WITH THE POP UPS. I know where to find new games if I want one. Let me play the ones I've already bought in peace. ### 1/5 — Continually crashes! *2016-01-08, version 1.0.2* I thought the game was fairly interesting the first time I played it. The second time when I tried to continue where I left off it kept crashing. The game didn't even load! I tried several times after that to play it but it crashed as soon as I tried to load it. I've never had such bad issues with any of the other Big Fish games I've had. I'm so glad I only got the trial version and didn't waste my money buying the whole game. I'm getting ready to delete it! ### 1/5 — 😡😡😡😡😡 *2016-01-07, version 1.0.2* Great game up to near the end and it keeps crashing.....please fix ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2016-01-07, version 1.0.2* I was enjoying this game, following the storyline and paid for the full game but now it crashes and it can't continue. I've followed all the suggestions in the app help but nothing's working. Very disappointed! ### 3/5 — Good game but needs improvement *2016-01-06, version 1.0.2* Great storyline but no map, no names on inventory items. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2016-01-06, version 1.0.2* This game is full of bugs, most of you have only played the demo... anyone that has bought it might be having the same problems. I've got rid of the second machine and now I'm suppose to go across the bridge to the village, every time I try it kicks me out of the game... have tried to go across several times too. I guess I'm going to have to take it off and redownload... I hate having to start all over again, if I still get kicked out I'm asking for my money back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game issues *2023-02-26, version 1.0.2* Game constantly rotates and then goes back to my home screen ### 1/5 — Game issues *2022-04-23, version 1.0.2* Game constantly rotates and then goes back to my home screen ### 1/5 — Won't load *2020-09-22, version 1.0.2* As soon as you click on the App icon it starts the blue screen and then crashes! I paid for this game, and haven’t even played it! ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-06-13, version 1.0.2* Paid for the app in the Memorial Day sale, and it hasn’t worked once since downloading. Opens for a second before shutting down completely - doesn’t even make it to the title screen, let alone gameplay. Zero stars. ### 1/5 — Won't load *2020-05-25, version 1.0.2* Downloaded the game and it won't open. Starts a loading scene then flicks me back to the iPad home screen, repeatedly. Can't give this zero stars, which is all it deserves if the App Store listing says “compatible with this iPad” but doesn't load. Phooey! ### 1/5 — What is going on? *2020-05-24, version 1.0.2* I downloaded this game and nothing happened. The blue starter screen appeared and then it disappeared, showing my home screen. ### 1/5 — Utter rubbish *2016-01-29, version 1.0.2* Do not bother, it's not worth looking at. ### 1/5 — Crash, crash, crash! *2016-01-26, version 1.0.2* Music is scratchy, difficult to navigate, and I'm now stuck because the game continues to crash!! ### 1/5 — BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH *2016-01-19, version 1.0.2* Finally getting a little into the game and I have had he black screen of death on this game for the past several days. This is the last BF game I buy! ### 1/5 — Yuk *2016-01-18, version 1.0.2* Don't waste any of your money buying this game. Graphics are dark and poorly defined. Hint button takes much too long. HOB are very dark and images are done poorly. If you switch to 3 across the game takes too long to go through. Colors blend into each other. Good luck if you buy this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolutely 5 Stars *2016-08-02, version 1.0.2* No serious problems of any description. Fairly easy navigation and kept you on your toes. I'd buy another anytime. No ghosts or such which I liked. (It was a hologram, not a ghost.) ### 5/5 — I really enjoyed it! *2016-06-24, version 1.0.2* I ended up really enjoying this game, especially since there were no technical issues for me. ### 5/5 — Best game I've played in a long time *2016-01-29, version 1.0.2* Fantastic game! Many levels that are very challenging. I had to use the hidden button many times because the levels were just so hard. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-01-04, version 1.0.2* I played this one on expert! And damn it was hard! But great !,kept the brain in gear! Lol bonus game was just as good 🙃 , Not To Sure Why people are on about the game crashing!! It never happened to me! Maybe u should blame your iPads or phones rather then the GAME! Ive played a lot of big fish games and yes they do have problems , but this one is brilliant ✨🤗✨ ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-01-03, version 1.0.2* Thanks for the game! Nice and long. ### 5/5 — Bienvenue à Tideville *2016-01-02, version 1.0.2* J'ai adore le jeu j'attend une continuité pour bientôt ### 4/5 — Dated but challenging *2020-05-25, version 1.0.2* This game is old; no map or collectibles. However I found the story interesting and there are many hidden object games. ### 4/5 — I liked it *2016-02-23, version 1.0.2* The graphics were detailed and long game play however a map would have helped out. Some of the HOS were repetitive using the same scenes over again just to find different objects. ### 4/5 — Nice. *2016-01-08, version 1.0.2* Nice I like it & the bonus chapter too ### 4/5 — Good, but not great. *2016-01-02, version 1.0.2* I really enjoyed this game. I like the graphic style (like an old painting), and the music that was like an old record. No problems with freezing or slow transitions. The skip button was slow to recharge, but the hint button was fast. With no map I relied on the hint button, which worked well. My only complaint was too many HOPs. There were a lot of puzzles, but it seemed like there was an HOP around every corner, which was a little frustrating. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
