I play these games all the time, I thoroughly enjoyed this one the cost always could be better but at 1.80 something is one of the better priced ones. It has the map you can follow so that you know areas of interest it shows you the areas you've found the hidden object to open the extra play so you can obviously go back to the ones you haven't found and look for them... by pressing on the map it transports you to the area you want to go to rather than trudging all the way through page after page. Just fab

A really good long game but I did find sometimes I had to tap things several before it would do anything but it was well worth the money. After playing it again recently I found it kept freezeing and sometimes you couldn't get the map to work.

by U####:

I tried to like but I just can't. Game respond really slow and playing is just one bad experience. Graphics are okey but nothing more. Map worked or didn't work just like flipping a coin: you may be lucky or not. I usually like BigFish games but this one....well you won't miss a thing if you don't even try this one. Skip it.

Would gave 5 stars but the game was slow n glitchy. Other than that it was good. Although i would like to see more interaction with the character n the tools we find and them actually holding these things when we use them instead of the tools floating n the air n working by themselves

Awesome graphics and animation! Hog and mini games were excellent. Who would have given 5 but the tap responded poorly and the game kept freezing! Galaxy Tab

Come on big fish games! I count 40+ players having the same problem with chapter 5, myself included. Please fix this asap. UPDATE 11/6/15- Chapter 5 works! Finally got to finish the game (only took big fish 8 months to fix the bug)!

After waiting a fair amount of time for the bug fixes, finally i could play it all with no problems. Great value, as it's a massive game. The controls took a bit of time to get used to, but got there in the end. I would highly recommend this game and can't wait for the sequel.

FINAL UPDATE 7-9-15: It turns out that it's a pretty good game. It's long, interesting and really good graphics. I didn't come up against any further glitches. I recommend this game. UPDATE 11-18-14: Finally the bug is fixed. I will update my rating after I finish the game. Can't get up the rope ladder, so frustrating!

When you pay for a game the money goes through in seconds but if you have a problem they keep fobbing you off with emails about Tech Help. July 28, 2016 The game has slowed to a near stand still and the MAP won't open! Can I have a REFUND please? I can't play a game like this!!!

Ch 5 glitch fixed (finally). Great game, puzzle mix, story, length. Not too many HOGs and those included are not typical. Well done, just wish it hadn't taken so long to fix issue.

by A####:

Glad that I didn't experience the many gamers' frustration of not being able to play certain chapter. My major complaint was that the objects were unsensitive to tap-and-drag. For that I would not replay this game.

Update 2: well after months they finally fixed the glitch and I was able to finish the game. Was a good game however, the lack of customer service was appalling and their disregard to give any refund rather they pinned it on Google play. I also think the game could use a bonus game. That would be nice.

Q70%
by Q####:

Graphics and plot were good but i have never skipped puzzles like i had to here. that was all down to poor response to touch and a heap of lag when trying to pick up and place objects, this actually spoilt my enjoyment. If this had been my first big fish purchase it would have been my last

Edit: 11-19-2014- Thank you for finally fixing the glitch. Game was fun!!! I enjoy all of your games. Thank you!!! ----------PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!! PLEASE FIX LADDER GLITCH IN CHAPTER 5!!!!!! So many complaints and problem not addressed. No response to any of the customers. Will gladly change rating once the issue is addressed.

I really love big fish games but this one is a little glitchy and slow. I had to reinstall it and now it is a little better although sometimes I have to restart my phone just to be able to play it because it just gives me a blank screen otherwise.

I liked the puzzles and the story, and I like how you got to defeat the monsters and the bonus quest ( Rest in peace lava guardian), I would like to see how the other stories end, there is a bug in the star fish puzzle in the beginning when you start the game over again.

Just like everyone else, I was stuck on Chapter 5 with the box closing too fast. With the update it works great. Awesome game.

I was very happy that they fixed the problem with this game. When I played it before I was very upset because I couldn't finish the game. This time finished it and loved it.

I'm stuck in Chapt 5 at the Ladder scene. I click on the ladder but game flashes back to previous screen. please fix. Game fine otherwise

by E####:

As usual wish there was even more story, but found what there was engrossing and very enjoyable. More puzzles than HOGs so that is a big plus and loved the artwork which was stunning. Seems this is part of a series so now I want to find the first one! No gameplay issues - worked fine on my phone, but then my phone has a quad core snap dragon with 2GB RAM so YMMV.

This is an absolutely brilliant game, a totally deserved 5 stars! It's really long as is the bonus chapter in comparison to others and the scenes are detailed, some of them are wonderful to look at and the hos's are really good and some are more interactive which is better i think. AND at £1.86 it's the cheapest i've ever had to pay for such a good, long game, best value for money, ever i think, a definate keeper, have a go and buy it now before the price goes up

I was really enjoying the game then all the sudden boom! couldn't go any further there was some kind of glitch then I got the fix and I can play the game again ..I was happy because already paid for it... Anyway I like all their games the game is good the graphics are excellent but I only give it four stars because I couldn't play it for a week and I was really into it

This game will hold your attention for hours, can't put it down. The story, graphics, attention to detail is second to none. Not many HO games but are games within them, very clever. Puzzles are not too difficult. BF have kicked the ball out of the park landed in the sea with a "splash". Congratulations to all the participant's who made this game possible.

Finely got chapter 5 problem fixed,thank you. It was a shame it took so long and so many complaints to get it done. It was great to finish the game. I will give it a 4 only because of the long delay. Try to be faster in fixing problems in the future please.

Finally got to finish the game. I really enjoyed it after you fixed the bug in chapter 5. Would have given you 5 stars, but it took too many complaints and too long for you to fix the bug. Thanks Big Fish for finally making this a game that lives up to your usual standards.

Like everyone else I found this game a little glitchy. Uninstalled & reinstalled then it seemed to be OK as long as you are patient and may have to tap items twice. Great sound and story. Length was very nice. Ho scenes were clever as well as the mini games. 8/10 rating.

I love the rush of spotting a new icon in the Big Fish lineup - and here it is. Multiplayer, teleportation task map, 39 hidden turtles, achievements, difficulty settings, labeled inventory, $3.23 unlock gives us a good strategy guide, bonus game. It looks good so far. Somehow, it seems like the game action is just a heartbeat slower than mine (thinking my "tap" hasn't registered I tap again - just as the first tap registers, you know?) But the game seems great and I'm thrilled to have a new adventure before me. 11:45 pm. 10/8/'14. The game is massive, beautiful and fabulously creative. MJG. Thanks for the fix Big Fish.

Playing on an Asus memo, the game is good enough to keep me going, but everything lags a bit, and the frame droppage is so great in cut scenes that they turn into a short slide-show (maybe they are...how would I know!) I found the puzzles enjoyable and varied, there are not too many hidden object scenes and the storyline is quite interesting. I also enjoyed the artwork, which is a big part of any game for me.
