This dev is one to be reckoned with when t comes to hidden object games. Tiny Little Lion has treated me to the "I Love Finding" series and if critters are your thing and cats and dogs never fail to cheer you up, these games will definitely please you.

Now with "Nature Escapes" we get to enjoy natures bounty. Beautiful flowers everywhere, nature scenes, gardens, estates and the plants come with interesting trivia. The scenery was lovely, I learned lots of interesting facts about plants and enjoyed some simple mini games. I love playing HO games with real locations, much more enjoyable.

The graphics are sharp and gorgeous, the game has lots of good features. I had lots of fun relaxing and finding all the plants and flowers. In the CE version you can decorate your own garden and there are 6 bonus chapters, so I opted for that since my budget was working in my favor at the time. But I can't imagine the SE version not being lots of fun without those.

I had to rewrite my review 3 times. Each time my text disappeared while I was typing my last paragraph. GRRRR! Why hasn't the review page been fixed yet, BF??? Show less

I recommend this game!

I WISH THEY WOULD INCLUDE A STRATEGY GUIDE TO SHOW WHERE THE SHAPESHIFTING OBJECTS ARE LOCATED (at least on the CE version)

Other developers are surely taking notice of the new kid on the block, a developer who has already mastered the art of Hidden Object Games! Tiny Little Lion pounced into the BF pond with one of the best Hidden Object Games in decades (I Love Finding Cats) and just when we thought they couldn't possibly top our beloved animal-themed Hidden Object series...[insert ominous ROAR] along comes Nature ...Show more

The graphics are not only beautiful but crystal clear even when you zoom or use the Magnifying Glass features! This is the only HO game I know of that mastered the art of Zoom. You can scroll to enlarge the scene, or use the Magnifying Glass to search small areas and the best part is that a simple right-click prompts the magnifier which doesn't disappear once you find an object like most games...and all you have to do is right-click a second time to flick it away instantly. You can also zoom the entire scene & use the magnifier even within the Zoom Zones, a feature many devs tend to overlook. In reality, most HO fans are aging and in my opinion, this is o must-have feature!

There are no Timers or Misclick penalties but you will earn more points for making fast consecutive finds (Combo x1, x2, x3, x4, etc.) and you'll earn more points if you don't use the Hint feature. Even though you aren't racing against the clock, you will earn a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Star depending on how many points you earn, so making combos is vital.

Each scene has a hidden Polaroid Picture that converts to Coins which allows you to purchase 20 Plants & Flowers in the My Garden Section. You can even choose where to place the plants or select multiple's of the same plant! You can click the Camera icon to take a picture of your arrangement as well.

Each scene also has 3 Shapeshifting Morphing Objects that are incredibly well blended, they morph at a perfect pace and can be quite challenging to spot! (morphs can appear in Zoom Zones too) Each Morph found converts to a flower you can plant in the wild, in the Nature Album. After "planting" you will receive 3 puzzle pieces for each morph found and you simply drag the puzzle piece to the correct spot on the picture. Once a flower has been completed, that picture becomes available as a Wallpaper.

After every HO Scene, you will play a mini-game, one of which I'm hoping was a teaser of a coloring game in the making where you click & hold an area on the canvas and drag the area to paint it. There are also Rotating Puzzle Piece games and one I have never really come across before where you have to drag colored squares to a grid according to the shade, from light to dark across a row. When you complete a row of colors, the row reveals an image row by road.

My only suggestion is that I think the CE version needs to have a Strategy Guide that shows the location of the collectibles & morphs. If not a SG, perhaps a Hint Button for just the Collectibles & Morphs? This SE version has the same collectibles, btw.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
24 Wallpapers, 16 pictures of the Developer's personal Plants, 11 Music Soundtracks, 18 Main Scene Locations +6 Extra Bonus Locations, 72 Shapeshifting Morphs, (54 in the Main Locations + 18 in the CE bonus locations) 24 Polaroid Pictures (18 in the main locations +6 in the CE bonus levels) 20 Flowers & Plants to purchase (Polaroid pictures found are converted to coins to purchase flowers & plants, 5 CE Extra Flowers, 24 Flower Fun Facts.

Miss the BF forums? Like most of you, I too missed the BF forums so I created The Woods Forum so everyone could enjoy all the benefits of a community built by like-minded gamers.

When I got to a level that I couldn't solve there was no way to skip it or exit. I had to go to Task Mgr. to close the app.

I don't recommend this game.

I love the Tiny Little Lion games and own all of them. I don't really care for this one. The scenes/flowers are beautiful but the mini games leave me cold and go blind trying to find the picture.

Will play it when I don't have anything else to do but won't buy this type of game again.

I don't recommend this game.
