Has anyone played a hidden object game on a touch-screen computer?
Wondering if you find the objects with your fingertip instead of the mouse.

I think that's the case, but hopefully someone will confirm this. wave

Wouldn't that be rather difficult considering how many items are twisted around or partly hidden by other items - especially tiny ones ?? woozy

You can zoom into and stretch the scenes to find items, just as you would a photo or something you are looking at on your smart phone or tablet. It's easier to use than you may think, that is why they are popular on mobile devices.


EDIT: Just noticed you said "computer". My answer may not apply. lol

I've played them on my pc but much prefer to use a mouse. Yes you do use fingertips instead of a mouse to find hidden objecst but I found it much less comfortable to lean over to reach the screen than to point and click with my mouse.

I have a touch screen on my laptop, but also have a trackball hooked up to it. I can use it either way.

The only touch screen I have is the one on my ancient iPad - and it's reserved (mainly) for Angry Birds !! snicker
