Fright Chasers: Dark Exposure 9+

I have been playing iPad hidden object games for several years, since my first iPad (iPad 2). I didn’t find this game to be too easy. No glitches!

Mad Head is my favorite company. I don’t play in one session, so this game did not seem very short to me.

Find Mad Head collectible logos throughout the scenes and within the HOPs.. Unlike the previous game, these logos were not overly hidden, just right! The HOPs were interactive and varied throughout the game. Puzzles are bright and easy to follow the directions.

Extra section includes an extra super HOP and hidden objects to be found one-at-time.

Suggestion: Please enable the ability to backtrack to find the missed hidden collectibles. You can find the missed morphing objects by replaying the HOPs.

Great job!

There is nothing technically wrong with this game. I experienced no glitches and it has all the standard features like a teleporting map and configurable difficulty. The graphics and soundtrack won't win awards, but they are acceptable.

The thrill ends there, though. Mad Head is known for its innovative touch, and that is completely absent from the game. There is some variety to the HOPs, but they are all quite simple. The majority of the mini games consist of "press the buttons in the right order." The trademark hidden Mad Head logo is present in every scene, but it stands out in different colors so even THAT is easy to find.

This linear HOAG seems to have been created for beginners. Those new to Big Fish may enjoy it, but I think it will be a disappointing yawn for most players. My ranking is 3.5, and I scaled down because I don't want to encourage more games of this nature.

Puzzles are soooo easy. The story is not fleshed out, and therefore you have no interest in it. The clunky controls and glitchy touchscreen were the worst. I tapped twelve times on the knife to finish the sun in a hop, and 8 times for something else. And you’ll tap tap tap all over the place in the available scenes looking for anything you can pick up, and after going over and over the same area, you can finally pick up something you’ve been tapping on all along!! And the main game was done in 1-2 hours, and that’s with all the glitchiness slowing you down! And Idon’t use hints or skips, so if you do it will be even shorter! Mad Head really just phoned this one in, thank you for wasting my money on this piece of garbage.
