<description><![CDATA[It took me until today until I finished it.  I enjoyed the game.  I'd agree there's room for a bit more - the Mayan puzzle seemed like a good idea.

Thanks much :-)

<description><![CDATA[I have installed the game and after finally finding out how it works (including the little x to close certain windows) life flows easier.

I have not played hidden object games as I always lost interest. With this one I actually got to the end, yay :D

Pluses:
- good hints for beginners, thank you.
- mixing different logic games. Though the pipe/ ball etc other ones I was familiar with and I found a bit childish they were still fun and a good ego boost considering the time it took me to learn the hidden object part.
- liked the ending. Very cute.
- am more observant in real life (if only it would last lol)

I would say though that to improve the game:
- it should work in different resolutions (just adapt to the screen size even if it keeps the same image size rathen than the black screen of death)
- Make it clear what the purple haze should do (still have no clue)
- have a less linear progression. Still get to do everything (checksheets?) just have some options. That way the game could also last a bit longer.
- editable free play levels]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have been playing this game quite a bit and have some feedback.  It doesn't appear to have a back button, so if you miss something, you have to start the whole game over.  Also, there is a glitch in my game, where I collect the stones required to repair the shield, but when I get to the part where I need to repair it the stones are gone and I can no longer play.  I will uninstall this game.  I enjoyed the playing, but it was frustrating at the same time.  I would like to uninstall the game, but there is no uninstall feature.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I too enjoy these types of games; hidden object where you need to find objects in order to solve different problems.  At first glance this game, with it's theme, looks like it will be fun.  My wife is even better at these games than I.

But, from the outset it is evident that everything needs to be done in a certain order, unlike many other games of it's type.  That I could live with.  But as you progress you realize that there are times when you have done everything you can do and stuck wondering what the next move is, while in actuality the game is progressing, but you are stuck until the game is good and ready to let you advance.  That I cannot live with.  I can understand the pauses in some circumstances, but it slows the game down and is aggravating and frustrating.

But my biggest sticking point is when you are supposed to be replacing artifacts to their rightful place that you've already collected from the previous session, but for some reason the game has remembered to give you everything, except a couple items.  When this happens you are stuck, stuck, stuck and the only solution is to start a new game.  You are stuck; you can't go back to the previous session the way the game is saved - you can only exit.  And even if you get back in there is no way  to go to a specific session, so you must start a new game.

So, I created a new character and started from the beginning and sure enough this time it worked just the way it was supposed to.

I like the game and the theme in general, but too many other problems for me to give it a thumbs up.

<description><![CDATA[I love this, but it was way too short. Had it done in a couple of hours. The storyline, graphics were good.  The hidden object portion was not too easy and the puzzles were good too. Wish we could have gone to a few more countries to complete the game. Was so disappointed when I completed it in one day instead of one week.

<description><![CDATA[While my son (6 years old) was playing this game on easy mode he came to a point there he had to gather items from the top of a Mayan pyramid the items included arrows and stones. Then he found himself back in India at the jewelers house where he repaired a diadem earlier. It wanted him to put things back but the arrows and stones have disappeared from his inventory. and he cannot progress further. I tried going to the site and using their support request but their captcha system is busted and I cannot submit the request.

<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the late review....tis the season!

The story line was great, it could have been longer...there were so many ways to add on to this line - sort of like Gina was saying above.

The "clicking area" needs to be fine-tuned, as many have mentioned.

The beginning needs a little bit more tutorial. I don't like reading hints or walkthroughs, but I need to know the mechanics of the game and where the author is coming from.

Again, like others said, the English translation was ok...but could have been better. I understood everything that was said, but some people are really grammar police.

Overall, I enjoyed the game and thank you for letting me try it out.

And to GGotD and Stephen - Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and I am looking forward to another great year!!

<description><![CDATA[I would love to get in contact with the developer. When you go to their site, their captcha is broken... so, can't get in touch with them that way. Don't post my email casually, so my biggest suggestion, fix the captcha please :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some further notes, now I'm on my second time around (!).  Everything worked perfectly this time, so I don't know what happened first time around: sorry!

The HOG scenes and pictures are identical each time; only the objects you need to find are different.  If you have an eidetic visual memory, replayability is low!

That said, in some scenes (like Ancient India), the list is the same: but it's a BIG list; and it's nearly as much fun when played like that as a memory test, if you will, as one the first HOG-style pass.  Your mileage may vary.

I agree that the HINT bar seems to take forever to refill.  Perhaps we've all been spoiled by other HOG games where the HINT button seems fast and never-ending?

I also agree that the game is too short: I want more!  And yes, I do know how long these things take to devise and produce, but the game (especially with the PDF walkthrough which seems to wink at you every five minutes, or when you're stuck!) really doesn't take much real time to complete.  And no, I haven't tried it on 'difficult' mode yet.

I do however love HOGs with added puzzle and/or 'adventure' style elements. "Mystery of Mortlake Mansion" is a favourite, for example; and "Chronoclasm Chronicles" has joined that list for sure.  The storyline is good, the puzzles and mini-games are maybe a tad on the easy side (for me, anyway) BUT it's MUCH better that way than insanely hard puzzles: like the infamous 'microbes' mini-game (a.k.a. Ataxx) in "The 7th Guest," for those of you who remember that innovative DOS classic?  The ONLY way to win it is to find an online Ataxx-playing program, then use ITS moves in the 'microbes' game.

But I digress (as usual!).

Sincere thanks to Puppet Life for this worthy and excellent addition to the 'HOG-plus-puzzle-adventure' game catalogue.  

NOTE TO DEVELOPERS IN GENERAL: I would be happy to proof-read the English text for your games for a small fee.  I do technical writing myself, so I am used to polishing text: please get in touch if interested.  (Hopefully this will reduce the number of otherwise good games spoiled only by their "Eengleeski".)

PS: Did anyone else spot that on the background to the Credits, the red Vintage Radio at the bottom right is flipped right-to-left, so the text on it is 'mirrored?'  Puppet Life: a black mark to you!  Please fix this, as it is a silly distraction which I'm sure you can easily correct.
