Personally I prefer the Garden Rescue series of Tower Defense games to this one. This game just doesn't feel polished for reasons that I cannot fully articulate. It has all the same elements, but it is just not as solid or as fun. However, it is still decent, and if you can find it at an inexpensive price it is not a terrible addition to your library.

I just finished playing this game. It is not a bad game, but it is NOT a hidden object game. There is not a single hidden object scene in the entire game. There are puzzles and items that you have to find to unlock or open the next area that has more items to find that move you forward, but there are no scenes with a list of items that you have to find. This is strictly a point and click adventure.

I only bought this game because of the "Hidden Object" tag, as my wife really enjoys HOGS, but no where does the developer claim that it is a hidden object game, just other players adding that tag, so I cannot give the game a negative rating. However, do not buy this game thinking it is a HOG.

If you like getting a perfect game with achievemnents that really are not achievements then you will enjoy this game. There is no skill involved in obtainging a perfect game here.

As you can obviously see I only have a short amount of time I have in the game so far, but it is already very apparent that this is not one of Atifex Mundi's best releases. They are normally known for some high-quality hidden object games (HOGs) but this one is not amoung that list, in my opinion. This game is almost childish is a way that I cannot really describe. It just is not as vibrant or engaging as some of their other series.

There are several typos in the game, even the company name "World Loom" is mispelled in the credits. I'd say you need to hire some better quality assurance staff.

Good for some cards and easy achievements, but not worth paying more than a couple dollars for.

Grammar is poor, instructions are not clear, music is repetitive. If I had paid for it I would have demanded my money back within 15 minutes of play. Only thing redeeming to me at this point are the trading cards. This ia just a bad game, which reflects poorly on Steam that it is even available here.

I bought it for 19 cents for the cards, because otherwise I really do not like this game. You have to be exact to even dream of getting three stars on the levels and I'm talking only level 4 or 5 in. I have better things to do with my time.

I'll have to agree with most of the negative reviews as far as there are certainly better "HIdden Object Games" out there. This one is not bad, but it is not good either. My main issue with the game is the darkness of the scenes, that I cannot adjust gamma for, so I cannot even see some items. The only way to see them is to use the hint and it shows where the item is but I cannot see it. I just have to click on the spot. No one else mentioned that so maybe it is only my computer.

You can get this game on sale, in which case maybe you can overlook that for a few hours of gameplay and some trading cards.

Sorry, but I find this game to be incredibly tedious. I normally enjoy HOGs, but this one just isn't fun but I cannot determine exactly why. Maybe it is because you enter a room, find some locked container or an action that you cannot do yet, then you have to advance to the next room, or go back a room, to find the key to the item in the last room. It is a ridiculous number of steps. Most HOGs use this concept but not to the extreme.

Awesomely fun!

This game does almost everything right! Fun to play solo or with friends. A sarcastic, self-absorbed SOB as a nemesis that eggs you on to completion. Tons of weapons, open world, bizzare characters and loads of loot. This game is one you should give a try!

I wrote a couple games back in the old days, and I did not do a great job, so I am loathe to knock any game as I understand the passion and the desire to make it the best you can, but not always succeeding. However, having said that I have to mention that it is not clear what the user-interface items are. The game drops you on a selection screen but gives you no indication why you are selecting something and what the difference between those selections is.

*Spoiler* On the first level a tree falls on you without any warning (ie. it is not even visible on the screen until it crushes you) and your robot is stuck. You cannot move, but you do not die. You just sit there until you restart the level. There are a couple buttons on the "menu" but none of them are explained, and 2 of them seem to do nothing.

Like the other reviews I paid next to nothing for this to get the trading cards, so I cannot complain. If you are buying it to play the game, I would advise you not to. Buying for the card at under a quarter, have at it.

I have only completed 2 puzzles so I do not have a huge base of experience from which to speak yet, However, it certainly has been interesting to fight off zombies with one hand while placing puzzle pieces with the other. Thus far - again only have 60 pieces floating around - it seems the piece selection issue that plagued Pixel Puzzle: Japan is corrected.

If you can find a coupon, or buy this game on sale it is an original concept implemented with a simple user-interface that allows for maximum game play and minimum hassles.
