Super cool game! Loved the girls' character designs, and the villain is very charismatic. The nonstop movement between worlds gave variety and kept me from getting bored.
I wouldn't call the passage short, it's rather dynamic and definitely not boring where in the middle of your journey.

I recommend this game!

I do enjoy these games but they are digging their own grave by NOT letting us purchase these CE games on a decent sale because by the time they let us have them on a sale I will have gotten over the excitement and forgotten why I liked the game and have OFTEN passed them up.

I do enjoy these games but they are digging their own grave by NOT letting us purchase these CE games on a decent sale because by the time they let us have them on a sale I will have gotten over the excitement and forgotten why I liked the game and have OFTEN passed them up. Sorry this review is not much about the game but they are NOT listening!!! Anyway, I did enjoy the demo and the game play and the mini games so far. The graphics are nice and clear for me. I may buy this game but I prefer to wait for a sale since most of the reviewers are saying it is a short game!!! Unless I forget I even wanted it since they are being stubborn these days about letting us have a new release on a sale!!! Show less

I recommend this game!

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
4 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 29 pages

Grace from the Order of Guardians returns with a timeless adventure. Help her save time itself. Enter looking glass portals to locate and apprehend the evil sorcerer, Azedum, who has stolen time. An artifact which controls the flow of time has been broken and this magnetic fluctuation has disrupted all worlds and peoples. Each piece of the artifact is hiding one of the four Celestial Sisters (Dawn, Dusk, Night, and Day) who control time. Each is hidden within an alternate world. Enter four (4) for these alternate worlds to locate each sister so that time can be restored. You will be assisted by Grace’s owl and a map which locates each sister and creates a portal to the world in which each sister is located.

I loved this game! It has a fantastic storyline and one which can be played in a few hours. I hate long, drawn out seemingly endless games which contain a lot of filler. This game, to me, it the right length with a pace that kept me engaged until the very end. It was nice to see another fantastic game from this developer. Great HOPA games are few and far between nowadays and this is one I might replay, something I rarely do.

There are four (4) chapters, each one dealing with one of the Celestial Sisters. Use a medallion which opens a map and a portal to take you to the world in which each sister is residing. Each world entered has a story as a backdrop on how time has been disrupted within that world. In my opinion, the new locations within each chapter kept it from becoming boring. With each new chapter, there is a new story tied to a new world. The collectibles are clocks and puzzle pieces. Each scene has two clocks and one of them is morphing. I found the morphing ones a little difficult to locate. The puzzles pieces provide a jigsaw puzzle which can be played upon completion of the game. There is an additional HOP scene hidden within the “Balance” door, which can be played after the main and bonus games are completed.

There are thirty (30) mini-games and fourteen (14) HOP scenes. All the HOP scenes and eleven (11) of the mini-games can be replayed. A Match-3 game can be played instead of the HOP scenes. Most of the HOP scenes are lists of items. Usually, I hate this type of search; however, these scenes are interactive, puzzle-like with most requiring assembly of many of the items to be removed. There are also a few matching scenes, a fragment scene, and a narrative scene. GrandMA provides one puzzle with both a hard and easy version. The puzzles are varied, and some have multiple steps which increase in difficulty. I loved the puzzles and one of them is one I have not seen in a long time. Before entering each portal to a new world, play a connection puzzle which creates a constellation. Each one becomes more difficult with each new world. One of my favorite puzzles (which I have not seen for some time in a game) is one in which marbles within a grid must all be changed so all are the same color. The version in this game is easy. I also liked weigh-and-balances puzzles and was happy to see GrandMA provided two of these within the game.

BONUS CHAPTER: It is a continuation of Chapter 2. Join Celestial Sister Dawn as she tries to stop a contagion which is destroying the plants within an alternate world. I found this chapter a nice addition to the game. There are nine (9) mini-games but only two (2) HOP scenes, both of which are lists of items. I play HOPA games for the puzzles, and was happy to see nine of them, two of which are favorites of mine. However, I was rather surprised at the shortage of HOP scenes. Continue collecting the collectibles. I feel the chapter was worthy enough to make this a collector’s edition game.

MECHANICS:
• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 14 achievements.
• Collect 48 clocks (half of them are morphing) and 20 puzzle fragments.
• 8 Wallpapers along with concept art, music, and video sequences
• 24 Scenes
• Grace’s owl returns as a helper. He reaches high places for inventory items.
• An extra HOP scene is provided behind the “Balance” door upon completion of the game.
• Replay 14 HOP scenes and 11 mini-games.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE AMAZING PUZZLES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Weights-and-Balances puzzle. Weigh out liquids and place them into a bowl as per given instructions to make fertilizer.
B. Switch puzzle. Switch bottles in a 3 x 3 grid with 9 slots so that each bottle is in the proper position based upon clues within the scene.
C. Easy/Hard. Tangram puzzle. Place marbles with prongs extending from them into position so all fit within a grid. There should be no blank areas and none of the marbles should be left.
D. Strategy puzzle. Choose the right path from 4 paths available. Then, choose the right time to cross through 3 dark rooms without being caught by a group of 3 evildoers. 3X
E. Riddle Me This puzzle. Choose between 5 images to answer cryptic questions.
F. Assembly Puzzle. One of my favorites. Click on 5 colored buttons to change the color of the marbles on a grid. Keep changing the colors until all the marbles are the same color.
BONUS CHAPTER:
G. Matching puzzle. Match like plants.
H. Rope puzzle. Untangle wires so that none cross.
I. Connection puzzle. Connect pipes so all are interlinked. Show less

I recommend this game!

Just another short game - charged over the top for a collectors game
Check - or maybe let us know the length of the game - not sure if you can
Don't mind if normal game - but this way over the top price for a very short game
Game OK - Price OTT
Cant say any more but - the length of games for CE have to be worth it
This Wasn't

This one is my first foray into this title and it's cute. Some of the puzzles definitely took me a little time and the story-line is fairly typical of these kinds of games. I finished the game 100% with all achievements if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/a8umRqBlfWw

given, it's a cCE, compare to previous games in the series. I think, it's not worth a CE. But the game is ok. See yourself!

For this series of games, which always take a long time to play, I found this game to be very short from the main game onwards. It took me just under 1.5 hours. Overall, I played the game in just under 2.5 hours. Mini-games in relative terms very easy. Story and picture quality are very nice. But as I said, I'm a little disappointed.
