I just finished playing demo and so far found only glitch is getting kicked out of HO if you get close to bottom. I bought because I found this game very entertaining, beautiful graphics and has a cute little puppet helper. Love the min games..makes you think. My rating is 4 stars for now...since I’m just beginning this game.I finished this game...no glitches except for getting kicked out of HO if you get close to bottom of screen. It’s a solid 4 Star game.

I can’t understand why/how this game has such high stars. Yes puppet show series are great but this one just wore me down to where it was no longer enjoyable and I had to work for it. Graphics are good however they are a little dark and the items you need to find are very small which makes it frustrating to find them. The items that are shown as a shape to find on the HOP games well they are a little small which brings up the items on the found items. Very small and very hard to read numbers, I.e. 2 of 4. It became a guessing game. I was forced to quit AFTER I purchased. Was building the soldiers body and the item was way past the viewing screen on my iPad and I have a new iPad. I was unable to skip since there was no option. One last thing what’s up with the hint “Rose”. Get rid of it. It seemed vague while it was shaking and floating I needed a hint button to tell me what the Rose hint was saying. This will be deleted off my iPad. Sorry Big Fish

I agree with many of the written reviews. I was so eager for a new game I purchased this one immediately--my silliness but the other puppet games have been mostly excellent, just creepy enough to be delightful. This one not so much. I was unable, unmotivated to play for very long, As Kim T writes so beautifully--in both rave and boo reviews--this one shouts dated. The immensity of the "things to carry" takes up almost 1/4 of screen on my Ipad, so I soon turned back to older games. The game just felt so heavy and plodding. The music and the graphics are lovely but the story, the puzzles, the general arc of the game seem ancient and logy. Verdict--save your $ and don't buy. If you are desperate, like me, replay some of BF's good old games, the ones that had it all. Please Big Fish, you know what we mean and you can see the purchase numbers when the games really hit it out of the ball park. I am a loyal BF fan, so thanks for the many wonderful games, but give us more of them with more consistency. And thanks to the many reviewers I have silently followed over the years!

One of the rare games that I didn't purchase. This can only be described as a mess. First, the interface was terrible. About 1/4 of the screen is used as the border, so you lose a huge amount of space. The controls are inexplicably miniscule, so they take up only about half of the border.Second, the controls are both finicky and clunky. It's very easy to inadvertently click out of an HOP or mini game, but often very hard to get the game to recognize that you've selected something.Third, the hint system is near useless. The hint cursor is a rose that (when selected) aimlessly wanders around the general area where you're supposed to do something.Fourth, there are inconsistencies throughout. I was sure I needed to use my doll on the cable car HOP, but the game kept saying the doll couldn't help me. 3-4 items later, suddenly I could (and had to) use the doll.Finally, the mini games in the trial period were screwy, which is never a good sign. For example, the ball in the spiral maze was unresponsive, so that I had to skip it. AMAX Interactive seems to be a pinch hitter as I've seen them appear in half a dozen series but never more than once. I have yet to see a good game from them. Maybe others have had a different experience.Net: I don't recommend at any price.P.S. Don't waste time trying to erase the chalkboard. It's a red herring, and an annoying one because all of the text comes back.
