TreeHole Adventure 9+

Cute game. Pretty straightforward on the needed tasks, but the puzzles can get tricky. What happened to all the animals at the end? I went back to the attic and they were gone. Also, wish there was something I could do for the groundhog to make up for hitting him on the head. :)

An attractive game. Easy enough to get through in an hour or two if you’ve played a few of these game before. Heavily influenced by Isoland.

Several of the puzzles aren’t intuitive; there’s no way to figure them out other than dumb luck or powering through various combinations until you find the right one. I feel like in a game of this length, one of these, maaaaybe two, is reasonable. Three or more is pushing it. The developers definitely pushed the envelope in this regard. That’s where a hint system would be useful. We’re already paying a dollar for the game. I’d pay another dollar for unlimited hints.

The art is beautiful, and the storyline is fun and cute. I’d like to interact a little more with the surroundings. 3.5 stars.

The game is very cute, but I’m only able to play for a couple minutes and then I get stuck - I’ve reset the game and tried several times. I get to the point where I take the star from the groundhog, use it to gain the shovel and then dig up the 2 carrots. I can not get past this point, despite trying every item in my bag on every object/location in the game. When I use the hint function, it tells me how to get the star from the groundhog, which I’ve already done. At this point I’m convinced the game has a bug preventing me from being able to play past this point. I can’t find a walkthrough and the developer website has no info to help.
