Zoom feature does not work
Eeek 187
To begin with, this is an amazingly beautiful game and the music is probably the best I've heard on an iPad app. However, I cannot get the game's zoom feature to work. I also have a difficult time telling objects apart. The game suggests that I turn my ipad's brightness all the way up, but this has always caused headaches and eye pain for me in the past, so that's not an option for me. The puzzles also don't make a lot of sense or seem incredibly vague to me. (For example, you get dropped off in a forest and are told to clear away ten items of foliage, but the "foliage" looks nearly identical to the rest of the forest. In another scene, you're supposed to pick out 10 smashed items in a crashed ship, only everything inside the ship appears smashed.). It's possible other people may not have these difficulties, though.
Too boring

Nice enough graphics but not much of a challenge. I had same problems as other reviewer with screen. Sorry, but not worth the small amount of time or the cost.
Stupendously short

This game, while visually stunning, was much shorter than I was expecting. It took me around an hour to complete, and while there is a non-story mode for replay value, I tend to not be as interested in that sort of play. As a contrast, I recently purchased another object-finding game, at the same price point, from Steam, and that story mode is still going strong at four hours. Like other reviewers, the zoom feature did not work for me.
Well, that was fun, but...

The game is very attractive but much too short. Some items are almost impossible to find without the magnifying glass, which I couldn't enable, and there's nothing in the tutorial about it. Nevertheless, I made it all the way through in a little over an hour. Kind of jolting when it suddenly ends. Advice to the developers: Make the magnifying glass available, and issue updates with added scenes and game elements. Also, the sound loops could stand to be longer. The repetition every few seconds of everything you hear gets annoying. In the medieval scene I kept hearing a man and a woman saying, "There's another one," and, "Did you buy it?" What the heck is that all about? As for the music, I couldn't say. I always turn the music off in this kind of a game. To me it's a distraction. Luckily, the music is optional in most games, including this one.
To short

It's a very cool game but I just wish it did not cost so much and the story line was longer if it was I would give it 5 stars;)
Very short

Unlike other titles from this developer, the story line actually makes sense. That said, at 30 minutes of game play time and an uninventive story line, $0.99 is the top end of what you should pay. This game should really be free.
Short and simple hidden object game with no other challenges

The objects are usually identifiable, the story keeps the scenes from feeling random, and overall it was pleasant to play. I admit I was a little surprised because I found their other HO games atrocious. One hour is about all it takes so one dollar was a fair price.
Lame...takes about 30 minutes to complete

This game is worth about 99 cents. Much too short. Not very challenging. If you like seek and find strategy games, try Salem Witch Trials and Mystery Case Files Dire Grove. Both are worth their cost.
Had potential

I'm nearsighted, so searching the iPad screen for teenie tiny little objects you have to collect in order to win wasn't fun... especially when, after you tap the screen Five or Six times, it 'paralizes you. (What's up with that?) I suppose it would be good for a 20/20 vision person, but it's more an item hunt than an action game. Save your money and find a good FPS, or strategy game. I DID give it Two stars because of the scenery.
Too short
Hallo there
This game is way too short for the price. It took less than one hour to complete. The only challenge is finding the very hard to see items. Not well hidden, just small or hidden with other objects so you can't tell what it is. I'm glad I got it on sale but it still wasn't worth what I paid.
