No kidding, the kinks are awful – Hidden Expedition: The Fountain of Youth (Full) Review

This could be a really enjoyable game. The prior reviews are not sore losers, as with some games. We've been gaming for awhile now, right? and we know what is required for a game to flow smoothly. I know my iPad is kept up with the newest updates, etc. Pros: a decent premise for a story, with good graphics, objects to collect and use, and hidden objects. The puzzles are a hit and miss. Cons: some puzzles are impossible to figure out. I like the originality a lot, but if they'd only hint of a purpose or strategy. Not all puzzles are poorly designed, though. Draccy was right. Same puzzle, same no solving it. The clunker comes in the cave scene near the end, where you have to take the two circles w/hands and move them until the scene comes into focus with its overlay. I've brought it into focus many times over two days. Have watched the walk through tutorial on a gamer's YouTube channel. Have studied the Big Fish strategy guide. Nothing seems to work for this particular puzzle, and like Draccy's review stated, there's no skip option at all, not even for the casual level. So I guess I'm done with this game. No bonus game or any extras since I can't finish. I'm quite disappointed and bummed. Am sure hoping the developers will improve the game play in these clunky spots. Big Fish, I've been staying away from your recent games for the past 1/2 year as they have either been goofy, horror filled, or subpar. I'd hoped another Hidden Expedition would be a few steps up from the past. Maybe soon? For as it stands, it's not at the moment. I will try to get a refund. Har. If anyone successfully completes that ridiculous cave puzzle, please let me know.
