I tried a 2nd time to do the game, and I still encountered items that are IMPOSSIBLE to click on! No wonder the game is being given away on a free site! The old graphics wouldn't bother me if the game would just function properly.

Oh and I didn't state this before. Windows 7, 64-bit. Installed just fine..it's just glitchy.

Well, I'm frustrated with this game after only 10 minutes. I passed the first task with 3 stars, but the 2nd task requires me to memorize some items before they disappear and then find them hidden in the scene. I clicked to get a hint and I clicked all over the area it claimed I could find an object. I clicked the hint a 2nd time and it hinted at the same area. Again, I repeatedly clicked all over the area. There seemed to be no click penalty, but I just gave up. I'll probably uninstall the game.

Listen. I love Hidden Object games. However by today's standards this offering is very low res, very difficult to find certain objects in the scenes, even when you double click to zoom into the picture. It just suffers from very low quality graphics which makes the game non enjoyable.

Never a fan of match 3 games but hopefully the HOG side will make it enjoyable.

Wow, on the second round, it would not acknowledge a click on and object, no matter how many ways I tried. I used 2 hints to try to get past it and I couldn't. Didn't have much of a chance to try it out.
It was what looked like a glass ball, but would not take it. Disappointed.

So, today's GGOTD is an undersea-themed HOG with mini-games which are stated as being "jigsaws and match three."

Al though Toomky say that there are different types of HOG scenes, all their screenshots show "collect several of …" type HOG scenes. If you got Alexandra Fortune: Lunar Archipelago when it was a GGOTD recently, Magic Ocean looks to have similar gameplay, though obviously in a different setting.

It looks like Magic Ocean is free on the Toomky Games site as well, but with optional toolbars etc. (which I would imagine most people would decline) during installation.

I haven't tried this one yet, but I hope that gives you a bit more of an overview than the "blurb" above!

Thanks as always to the GGOTD team and Toomky Games for today's GGOTD.

I found some objects could not be clicked on even though they should have been. And even though I had 15 stars on the first phase, it only registered 13. I needed 15 to move on.
The game appears to be a match-3 but it's mainly an HOG.

The game downloaded and installed fine under Windows7. It looks to be a pretty basic hidden object game. The locations are given to you five at a time, called a 'mission', and after you earn enough stars (1-3 per location, dependent on your solving time I think) you can move on to the next mission of five locations. There's some effort at variation: sometimes you're given a list of the names of the objects to find, sometimes a silhouette of the object, sometimes a black and white image of the multicolored item, etc. In addition there are 'memory trainer' screens. One was a fairly classic 'find the matching cards' version, with a 7 by 5 grid of cards. But you are only shown a set of three objects, then the faces of all the cards for a few seconds, and then you must click on the exact three cards. If you get one wrong, it flips the cards again for a few seconds, and you try a second time. If you blow it again, it shuffles the locations of the cards and you continue trying. You may have to find two or three sets of targets in the screen, though the later ones are easier because the now empty slots help pin down t he locations. Finally, and worse, there was a hidden object location where they showed you some number of target images (maybe six or seven?) and then blanked them away. From that point on you had to find the hidden objects by memory. In my case that meant after I found the items I remembered they'd shown, I simply had to click around randomly on everything that possibly could be a hidden object, like "oh, there's a candelabra, maybe that's one." Very frustrating.
Also, there must not be a very large number of possible targets, since I played just two missions, ten locations, and by then almost half of the items each time were repeats from earlier.
You can earn hints by clicking on pearls inside oysters that open for brief times. There also a sort of 'zoom', that lets you use a sort of parallax effect to find objects that are simply invisible in the normal view, due to being hidden behind parts of the scenery.
There may be more types of screens, but by the end of the second 'mission' I was more than eager to delete this game from my computer. YMMV.

Not my favourite game but installed without problems and works fine.

Magic Ocean is a hidden object puzzle game. Here's a bit more thorough description from the Toomky Games Site, here. https://toomkygames.com/download-free-games/magic-ocean/

"In the breathtaking hidden object game Magic Ocean you will dive into a journey in the underwater world. Oh, there are so many secrets, amazing discoveries, and findings hidden at the bottom of the ocean! Just imagine what ancient ships used to carry: treasure chests, luxury jewelry, gold and silver coins. Modern sailors also generously share their wealth with the underwater world. Find the most valuable ocean treasures!"

I got "Failed to Connect" as well. It happened last weekend and I kept trying. It was late in the day when I finally connected to game giveaway and it installed okay. Keep trying - it will work eventually.

This game installed fine on W10 pro

I only get an error "Failed to connect" (from the wrapper). Anyone else having this problem?

It has to be a Great Game. It was reviewed and given Thumbs Up by White Rabbit!!
Thank You Mr. White Rabbit for ALL that you do for us!!

Please excuse the lack of any reviews since Monday 25th. I've been really busy with legal stuff and other projects. Should be back soon-ish, but probably won't be posting reviews this weekend. but I will be moderating still. Stay safe everyone.
