Under Leaves

Under Leaves

Under Leaves is a hidden Object game pure and simple. On a map of the world you are given many different locations, each location is a different stage to complete all related to different animals indigenous to the location on the map. Each stage is beautifully crafted. A real work of love! The fact that each level has a certain color scheme give it a certain style but also makes it surprisingly challenging, just enough to keep my interest through the whole game.

Pros

  • For those who likes the extra challenge, there’s 29 achievements. One for each stage and one extra for finishing the game without help.

Relaxation Mode is cranked up to 11 in this simplistic watercolour hidden object game.

You start off on a world map with 21 dotted circles on it. Each level is associated with an animal from that region, and as you complete the levels the map gradually fills with pictures of these animals.

You’re introduced to a level by clicking the X on the central animal, which then shows you a speech bubble containing several small icons of the objects you’re looking for (small animals, seeds, fish etc), and the number of items to be found. The overall canvas is split between 3-5 screens, and as you find/click the objects you move on to the next either via the white arrows, or by dragging. You can zoom in and out by double-clicking and then drag the screen around to inspect each area of the panel. When you find the final item you then report back to the main animal whereupon there’s a very short animation of baby animals appearing, plants growing or a shoal of fish swimming by. And that, ladies and gentlemen, describes the entire game.

Summer: Jigsaw Puzzles

Summer: Jigsaw Puzzles

(reviewed: 2020-04-30)

Positives+++

+Pieces snaps to the board and to each other.

Observations and suggestions~~~

~There is a few images that really look alike (3 in a row) and there is twice the first image at position 1 and position 133 (or 12 starting from the right)

Negatives–-

-No achievements

-Puzzle progression is not saved.

-UI is not very pretty. Scroll bar hasn’t even been changed from the default unity scroll bar.

-Sliding puzzle should let the user place piece even if the last piece has not finished its animation. It’s not fun to have to wait for every sliding animation to complete before sliding the next piece.

100 hidden frogs

100 hidden frogs

A meticulously hand-drawn, hidden object, naturesque PnC game. And for free. Well, what am I doing here to tell you that? You go play it yourself, I mean it’s got achievements for all my achievmaniacs out there (I saw a friend get 100+ achievements so I was like on the bandwagon then on), it’s got a nice soothing soundtrack built-in, it LOOKS GOOD, and finally, those achievements are really easy to get, just click the frogs man.

But, if you’re like me and you can’t find the last damn frog for some reason because of the green, white, and black colours blinding your vision, look no further and use this guide some awesome dude made:

WELP this is a quick game about 30 minutes give or take

the game premise is find 100 hidden frogs… thats it… kinda like find waldo or i spy…. honestly its not bad for a quick easy game but thats all i have to say about it so meh.

as a gamer: its casual gaming at its best just go in and look around i got to the last 10 before i needed a guide to find them

as a achievement hunter… its kinda funny because you go through and click one and get achievement click another get more achievements… so yeah all 100 achievements are one per frog so its easy

Island of the Lost

Island of the Lost

Best casual game I’ve seen this year. It’s more involved than the demo may make it appear, with booby traps, hard to find objects, etc. There are vast areas to explore and you really get the sense of being “lost” at times.

A hub is available which offers access to any level. Game controllers are supported but I wish you could redefine the keyboard/mouse controls. I also wish you could run a bit faster since the levels are so large.

The visual aesthetics, level design, and music are fantastic. A no-brainer for the low cost.

A fun and relaxing item collecting game with beautifully crafted levels. The atmosphere is great, I love the art style, the music is nice and relaxing, the levels are fun to explore (You can even get outside the map somewhere in level 4 and explore where you’re not supposed to. I won’t tell you where though, can’t have the dev putting an invisible wall there. He’ll have to figure it out himself too if we wants to block it off) and figuring out the secrets in each level is fun as well.

All in all, a very nice game to just lean back in your chair and relax with.

Hidden Animals: English - Spanish

Hidden Animals: English - Spanish

A nice game as such, but containing unforgivable mistakes in the vocabulary that it’s supposed to teach you, and badly optimised in my opinion.

I bought this game for my 9 year old daughter, who likes hidden object games and is quite good in them - but there aren’t that many suitable for children, so I was happy to find this one. Since we are neither English nor Spanish native speakers, I was prepared to translate for her and the game wasn’t meant as an educational tool, but she learns English in school, so I hoped she would also pick up a few animal names while playing. But very early she got frustrated by the fact, that it seemed simply impossible to get three golden stars and thus uncover more pieces of the bonus puzzle, no matter how quick she was or how hard she tried (I tried to help with that and didn’t succeed either) - so she stopped playing because it was driving her to tears, and I bought her Hidden Animals Photo Hunt instead to make up for this disappointment.

Hey, want to have a good game? Check this indie out! :)

In Hidden Animals you will learn animal names too, while finding them - I don’t even know why they don’t teach languages like this; awesome idea. Speaking of awesomeness I liked the music so much, that I just had to stop at the main menu, just to listen. Nice pictures, user-friendly design. I also liked that it was a good fun my daughter as well: she likes animals and stages can be completed in minutes.

Look and Find - Curiosity

I couldn’t play this game initially because I only had a touchpad–no mouse–and couldn’t use the zoom feature, which you HAVE to have! Now that I can use a mouse I really like this game: very clever hidden objects, interesting scenes, good music and ambient atmosphere. If you like hidden object games you will will be challenged by this.

Good game, though short. For a better experience, turn the music off and listen to the ambient sounds while finding objects.

I recently bought this for the sense of exploration and finding secrets, as I love hidden object games and exploring, this game was a huge miss and a let down, while you can scale the world to any size you wish, the achievements aren’t working, settings in the game and the UI in general are unable to be interacted with, there’s a section of the menu that is a portion for achievements, like take a picture of a tree, tree context picture menu, it won’t update no matter if I favorite a picture, try to right click or left click a tree picture in the gallery, or taking a picture in general when the set task is on a tree, I’ve also posted in the forums for help, but no responses, game is dead, there is also a second game made by the same person, maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, I wanted the opportunity to enjoy my exploration of secrets but it seems I can’t even do that
