Okay... so first, this game is quite amazing. The scaling is a very fun concept and the some of the puzzles become incredibly difficult to wrap your mind around. That all being said, there is a significant flaw in that game. It is possible to scale items out so small they disappear from view which is an important mechanic to the game. When the item is invisible, it becomes literally impossible to see. There is no marker or anything to show you where it is on your screen unless it goes off the screen. Then there can be an arrow that inconsistently pops up. That is the only thing that holds this game back from being absolutely amazing, because not have any indicator of where the item is at all is nearly impossible to handle and can make the game take a lot longer. Outside of that point, this puzzle game is phenomenal and I do highly recommend it. I would just be patient and move objects slowly so you don't go crazy when you can't find it again!

Let me preface this with this was not a badly designed game by any means and there were definitely points in the game that I rather enjoyed. With that out of the way, I was incredibly disappointed with this game in the long run. The first problem is there is zero replay ability, now that isn't the fault of the developers or anything as some games are just made to be played one time, but I kind of thought there might be a new game plus mode or something. The cinematic scenes are rather bland and the story is a bit dry and predictable, but the game play is what probably frustrated me the most. The hidden object portion of the game was fairly standard, but there are some pieces which you have to create in order to click on. Usually that would create a fun challenge like it does in other hidden object games! In this case their interactive objects were so easy to find the only difference between creating the object and clicking one already made was literally 2 clicks and common sense so readily available that a toddler could probably figure it out. Need a lit candle? Well it just so happens to be a box of matches right next to the unlit candle... But as hidden object mini games go, it was fairly standard and more or less what I expected. What I didn't expect was the incredible amount of crashes. In my play through of this game, which I played it a couple of times to see if I had missed anything (I didn't) I crashed probably 6 or 7 times and had to redo entire puzzles because of it. There was one game that stood out to me, it was a find the logical pairs game and I must say, they did really well with this! You have to find X number of logical pairs and that's all the information you have, it was fun, interesting, challenging, and I liked that you weren't given an item list, you had to use intuition. Thumbs up for this puzzle! The cursor in the game is rather huge and for some reason the oddest specificity in where you click is required in the weirdest of places. You have to put all the ingredients on the table, but the last item just won't go down? Well that is because you are approximately five pixels away from where they want you to click the table. I ran into this on multiple occasions, I got so confused sometimes I had to click the hint which literally highlighted the exact area I clicked. The music gets mind numbing enough to make you wonder if your brain is leaking through out your ears, but I've definitely heard worse soundtracks, so this is a fairly meh point for the game. It's not making you want to throw you speakers out the window, but you are probably not going to jump for joy when generic soundtrack part II loops for the eighteenth time. I had multiple puzzles break on me and forced me to restart my game, I had locations break on me on two separate occasions which left me staring at a black screen and yet another restart and if you were expecting a twist, shock of shocks, you will be incredibly disappointed. After the first five minutes of this game you should be able to give an accurate synopsis to whatever person you wish to bore to tears of the entire game! At least they are transparent? I feel I should also mention that there is literally next to no penalty for just spam clicking as well. You get a very very minor tap on the wrist when the game puts up a fog of no clicky anymore for about 2 seconds and that is literally it. No timers, nothing that adds any pressure to any of the mini games so feel free to take all the time in the universe because for some of the more convoluted puzzles, you might actually need that much time. Seriously, some of the mini games are just tedious and have no rhyme or reason for how they work, I think two of them were literally a guessing game for me. Maybe I just didn't see the correct method or there was a pattern I missed and if that's the case, it's my own dumb fault, but man I love the lack of punishment in all the games! It really gets rid of any sense or urgency or panic that most Hidden Object games have some way of instilling to keep the game play interesting. I've really beat this game into the dust, from it's pointless transition cinematic scenes to the buggy game play, so I want to soften the blows a little and talk about the good for a minute. This is a very simple hidden object game, story and occasional bugs/frustrating controls (How is that possible when you literally just need a left mouse button I have no idea) aside it functions (usually) just like it should. There are some pretty fun puzzles and challenges sprinkled throughout and as a game it does exactly what it claims to do. If you are looking for a fairly cheap and simple game of a Hidden Object variety with some fun puzzles and you honestly don't care much about the story or enjoy getting a laugh out of painfully funny cut scenes and ridiculous reasons for needing to do something, then this game really is perfect for you. I think my disappointment in the game came from the first play through where I was playing for the story, but on my second play through (Which is where I realized nothing is randomized so you can literally memorize the Hidden Object Puzzles and such...yay for zero replay ability part II) I just enjoyed the humor in the game! Like how the protagonist can't lift the lid off a butter dish because it is too oily and absolutely needs a nob for the top of the dish which is missing in the weirdest place ever to lift that incredibly greasy lid, or the fact that you can't push a cart out of the way because it is too heavy, but you can lift it straight up to install a wheel (on your own I might add) so you can roll it out of the way. I could go on and on, but I don't want to spoil all the fun of discovering these insane "reasons" for needing oddly specific items which show up in the most bizarre and unbelievable places. As Hidden Object games go, I did have fun with this one, but the negatives just far outweigh the positives for me so I can't really recommend it, but if you love Hidden Object games and you enjoy a good laugh pick this game up on a sale (I did) and just play through it leisurely. You will enjoy yourself and you'll hit a couple challenging parts which are pretty satisfying to solve. Just don't hold your breath on the story because I have seen five year olds and who can write a more compelling plot and probably animate it at least as well as this game managed. Overall, just sub par compared to many of the Hidden Object games I have played, but fun if you like to pick apart some really weird and confusing stuff.

This game is absolutely amazing. High energy and constant moving with great combat and some really interesting items. It's a bullet hell in a 3D environment that you can lose yourself in for hours! I highly recommend it.

This game is just beautiful and so unique. The characters all seem to have a depth to them and the story is just amazing. As you play it feels fun and complicated as you figure out the best combos and how to use them. There's fun banter, serious moments, times where you may just want to cry. The game has it all and for those who want to fully complete everything, it is no easy task. Secret rooms, hidden treasure, and just a lot of fun to play. I never got bored of playing this game and I can't recommend it more.
