I enjoyed the game and it was one that was a little longer than many. The only issue I had that I dislike is there are times where you don’t know where you should be going next. There is a scroll that is supposed to keep you on track but it often gave the big picture goal so was not always very helpful. I find this type of problem in many of these games. Should have a few people not involved with the making of the game and let them play the game and it seems it would be apparent the issues that are a problem. It would be more fun to be on an adventure that I know what move I’m going to need to make rather than guessing at it or using the map to help find where I should be going next.

Overall I liked the game. I saw some other reviews who hated the imp- I didn’t mind him. There were a few glitches that drove me nuts - almost any puzzle involving clicking and dragging was buggy, some manageable others I was clicking and dragging the right object to its correct place for ten minutes before it finally worked I almost threw my iPad across the room. But fix those and you have a great game.

All of the game ending glitches appear to have been fixed. I made my tortured way through until the end of the bonus game, so I can attest to that. However, that doesn’t mean you should buy the game.There aren’t many HOPs or mini games in the main game. Gameplay is generally linear and consists primarily of figuring out what item to place where so that you can progress. The puzzles that do exist aren’t much harder than the 9-piece jigsaw puzzles that comprise one of this series’ collectibles. The most difficult minigame is due to the developer’s ineptitude: although there are several ways to form the snake correctly according to the guide, only one receives credit. But don’t let it get you down: the EXACT SAME PUZZLE is in the bonus chapter in the form of a pipeline.The majority of the HOPs in the main game are word lists with plus-items, although there are a few of the silhouette variety. The bonus chapter is one plodding word list HOP after another. You can choose a matching game instead of the HOP, but that annoyed me too: instead of taking cards away once they are paired, the game substitutes new hidden symbols. That is NOT how to play Concentration.Mastering the finicky controls may be the greatest challenge. You’ll eventually get the item if you click up and to the left of where you think you should. This includes the elusive paintbrush that you must dip into glue in an infamous HOP about halfway through the main game.Collectibles are morphing items (1 per scene) and the aforementioned jigsaw puzzle pieces (1-2 per scene). You get nothing other than an achievement for getting all the collectibles.The best thing I can say about this game is that the lag that characterizes Elefun Games is a little shorter.

The story is pretty much the same as others in the series but some pretty cool mini puzzles and not many that are tedious. My only problem is in the HOPs. It was quite difficult to connect two pieces on the iPad, often taking more than 10 attempts to get the moveable object placed exactly right.
