Entertaining especially love the fact I don’t have to spend additional funds to play a game.

It's Not a "Dark Romance" With Prince Siegfried! I'm In Love!

We have a love story this time in place of horror or mystery. What a lucky gal Odette is to have a gorgeous hunk to love her forever; I'm jealous! The graphics are pretty and fairly clear using a palette of vibrant, brighter colors since many scenes take place during the day. The artwork is visually appealing and is embellished with fairly sharp and defined details. I love the heavy use of background animations upon touch, which are prevalent throughout, such as a mirror breaking, oranges falling off trees, and books falling off shelves. You get to play as both Prince Siegfried and Odette as you switch back and forth between them to gain their different perspectives. You can also choose your order of questions if prompted. You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. The teleport map will indicate available actions in custom mode; you can choose to include the "extras" indication (feathers) in each scene as well. Through the map, you can view your journal, achievements, collectibles, etc. The journal records limited information in the form of notes on each character; it is not thorough or detailed in progression. The HOS are varied and include: FROGS (find fragments of objects to combine to complete one whole), PROGRESSIVE SILHOUETTE (or "find and use" with some micro puzzles thrown in), and find MULTIPLES OF OBJECTS. The puzzles are fairly simple but varied and creative. One was to match pairs of animals that pop up and hide by scattered objects; then you free the animal from its cage by playing an "untie the tangled ropes" game. Then you move down the path to the next sequence. You collect feathers for a Boudoir Room in most locations; beware that there are more than one in some locations. You also collect pieces of stained glass and statuettes in some locations. I took off a star because there was no thorough journal, transition between scenes was a bit slow, and acquiring inventory items was clunky at times. In addition, the grammar was occasionally off; one example is, "I had "an" strange feeling this morning....." Overall, it is a fun game that is worth the purchase!

VERY short game....slow moving "buggy"...some puzzles way too easy and others annoying...this is definitely a poor game and I would not recommend it!!!!!!! I really need to stop with Big Fish.... They are stealing our money with the no free play thing...out of the last let's say 5 games only 2 were worth it...Please go back to the right way of doing business....would someone at a shoe store refuse to let the customer try them on??? Nope!!! It is the same concept here.

I haven't finished yet but so far this is a game my granddaughters can play. It is a great game with wonderful puzzles and great hops. Nice story too.

Wonderful Graphics

Just getting started but this game is beautiful. Fairy tale type with the Prince and Princess with a Grandmother with potions and herbs. Hidden Object scenes so far have been different but enjoyable not like the parables. Animals my fav like a horse and well just check under some items. So far the game works very well. Okay back to the game. Best I've played in awhile. Oh no rats or snakes yet!

Nice Change

This is such a nice change from all the horror games being offered. The storyline is sweet, the map is great, the graphics are amazing and the HOs are so different. Okay it doesn't take a genius to play this but it's nice to pay for a game that I don't immediately delete. BF please go back to play before you pay, I used to buy at least 2 or 3 games a week, but I got burned so many times with these $3.99 games that turned out to be substandard that I stopped buying. It seems I'm. Not the only one that feels this way.

The game was really sweet. A little short and easy, I didn't mind that at all. There were different types of mini games, the graphics were very nice and I loved the map. This is the type of game that I had grown accustomed to from Big Fish Games. Very enjoyable!

Swan Sonata is Much Better Than a Swan Song!

If you are a fan of the ballet, then you have heard of Swan Lake, and the two swans, Odette and Odile. These are swans who can turn into women. Odette is preparing to marry Prince Siegfried, but an evil wizard (Rothbart) is attempting to stop the marriage. As Odette, you are trying to save the wedding day by using White Magic learned from your sweet, little grandmother. Along the way, you collect white feathers, other collectibles, and try to defeat Rothbart. The art work is colorful and well done, and the story is exciting. In the few Hidden Object scenes I have done so far, there were shadow shapes to be found and used in the scene. I really enjoyed the Evil Wizard Rothbart's disappearing scenery, where you must move rocks or bushes and match the hidden animals. Bunnies and squirrels and ducks - - so cute! No glitches so far, and it's really livening up my stormy night! Thanks for this one, Big Fish!

Not enjoying. Got stuck and the hints are worthless and annoying. Moves too slow. Waste of money
