I'll pass on this one. I prefer I-HOGs to HOGs.

Thanks Ana

Unfortunatley this game was not for me. I did not like the graphics at all, some people might enjoy this style of graphics but not me. To me they are fuzzy and takes away any enjoyment.

I thought the story idea of Pocahontas was a good idea but never got that far with this game- got up to the rocking boat which annoyed me frown

I tried the demo and made it past the rocking ship to arrive in the New World only to discover that it was already inhabited with ostriches, penguins, elephants, camels and even some nuns. Why do they insist on putting strange and inappropriate items in such beautiful scenery? The music was exceptional and quite soothing. The background scenes were beautifully drawn and the story line was proceeding nicely for as far as I could go during the demo.

However, the scenes were so cluttered with such a variety of objects that I found it was not an enjoyable experience. The drawings were so fuzzy I didn't know what I was looking at most of the time. I thought I clicked on a grilled steak but actually captured a toad - thank goodness I didn't have to eat it! After using a hint, I discovered the grilled steak was actually the baseball glove I had passed over about a hundred times.

I didn't like the hints either. Clicking on hint causes a huge halo that lights up about a quarter of the scene. Not very useful.

I pass on this one. If I want to look at fuzzy things, I'll just remove my glasses.

LOL at Scarlet's review. It's raining here for second day and I needed a good chuckle. Thanks Scarlet. I don't even think I'll download this one.

What I noticed right away was that the developer was Twintale, the same guys who did Caribbean Hideaway (a game that I just finished and loved, but that one was a match-3 game).

I thought the music for this game was great, but when I couldn't see the needle in the first scene even after getting a hint, I decided that my eyes couldn't take the eyestrain that this game would create, unfortunately.

I agree with all. To fuzzy and to hard to find. I'll pass on this one also.

wave Hi, all!

Sorry to say, but I'm with most. Fuzzy graphics. However, the music is wonderful, so a big plus for that. All-in-all, I think I'll pass on this one.


Woohoo and booyah! smile Have an easy peasy day!

I made it to the new world (past the rocking boat which I think was a new idea) but had so much trouble finding things that I too will pass on this one.
The story line was fresh and interesting so it is a shame that it is so hard to find items. frown

One of the developers of this game has posted on the Big Fish forums saying that they are working on a new build wherein they will get rid of the rocking boat and make the objects easier to see, among other things. The new build may be ready as early as Monday.

I think it's great that they are listening, and I will be trying out the new build as soon as it is available for download.
