Frustrating--Update 06/06/16

06/06/16: Ive downgraded this from 3 stars to 1, because the game has been inaccessible for the last two days. The message says I should check my network connection--my connection is fine, theirs is not.

Since Ive been logging in daily to get the bonuses, not being able to log in due to problems on their end has not left me feeling charitable towards this game, or this company.

Bad show, chaps!

If you like hidden object games, youll probably like this one. Its very pretty.

The problem is that there are quests you need to complete--like get the baking tray from the kitchen. So you go to the kitchen and find the objects there--and the baking tray isnt one of them. So you play the room again--still no joy. So you do it again...and again...

And as youre doing all these repetitive searches, which cost 22 points each, you run out of energy. You can only amass 100 energy points at a time, which means you can search at most 4 rooms at one go. You can earn 50 energy points per day by watching ads--but 50 energy points dont go very far.

Also, the more you play a room, the more objects show up in it--and the time you have to search becomes much, much shorter. It would have been nice if they had set up the game so that each item found extended the time remaining, but if they did that, you wouldnt be tempted to buy energy.

Oh, yes, people--you can buy energy and coins and gems. And believe me, the temptation to do so will be very strong, just to enable you to do something in this game.

So, three stars because it looks good, with two stars lost because the developers didnt play fair with their gamers.
