So there I was, walking alone, minding my own business when a juicy berry caught my eye. Did I eat it? Of course, I ate it; it was a juicy berry! Suddenly, I found myself face to face with a giant spider, this spider was the size of Godzilla I tell ya... wait a minute, that's just an ordinary spider!?! Ut-oh, I've been shrunk to the size of a pea, it's clearly time to panic! ꆛ

So there I was, walking alone, minding my own business when a juicy berry caught my eye. Did I eat it? Of course, I ate it; it was a juicy berry! Suddenly, I found myself face to face with a giant spider, this spider was the size of Godzilla I tell ya... wait a minute, that's just an ordinary spider!?! Ut-oh, I've been shrunk to the size of a pea, it's clearly time to panic! ꆛ

The Berries you see everywhere are crucial, to unshrink yourself you'll need to make Jam, therefore you need berries, some are easily spotted, some are really well hidden. The game begins with a very brief pictorial tutorial showing you how to move from one scene to the next, by clicking on the red and white striped arrows (the cursor turns into 2 green moving feet) It also explains how to find hidden items and that each item will display a picture showing where the object needs to be placed.

There is a hint feature, however, you'll be required to play a very simple berry-related game before you are shown where to look. The berry-matching game has directional arrows on all 4 sides of the board, and you simply use the arrows to move the red cells until each berry on the board has a red cell covering it.

Explore everywhere, click on everything! Gears will appear on items that will eventually require a tool or another component to proceed, however, it may not be readily available until you complete another task first or trigger it with an action of some sort. Most of the Hidden Objects are in multiples such as 9 bones, 3 lenses or 5 wires, and these items can be extremely difficult to find because they blend into the crazy but colorful scenery, they may also be located inside doors, drawers, cabinets or trash cans, up high, down low, or partially shown. If you just can't find an item, all you have to do is play a simple berry game and the hint will point to the area an item is located.

Icons are shown on the top right of the screen with pictures of the objects you'll need to find to complete each task. When you scan over those pictures, a picture appears next to it that shows exactly where the item needs to be placed. Some items require you complete a simple mini-game (a jigsaw puzzle piece appears next to the icon) I haven't come across any mind-blowing puzzles in the 2 hours I've played so far, but there is a Skip button available. So far, they have all been familiar, but fun puzzles, such as Rotating octagonal puzzle pieces to complete the image, or Rotating Pipe or wire connections to complete a path from point A to B using every connector piece.

The graphics are beautifully hand-drawn designs, imaginative and very creative. The music is unobtrusive and synced flawlessly to immerse you into this magical, strange new realm. The developers, graphic artists, and composers clearly had a vision and were clearly able to take us on their journey with this amazing Adventure game, Varenje. Show less

I recommend this game!

An easy way to tell if you'll like Varenje is to ask yourself if you liked My Brother Rabbit. This game plays just like it with whimsical graphics and a catchy soundtrack that you won't mind hearing over and over. The artwork is a little abstract.

An easy way to tell if you'll like Varenje is to ask yourself if you liked My Brother Rabbit. This game plays just like it with whimsical graphics and a catchy soundtrack that you won't mind hearing over and over. The artwork is a little abstract. This makes finding some items a little tricky but for me added just the right amount of challenge so that I wasn't blowing through scenes but never so frustrated as to need a hint. You can't judge this one on 5 minutes of trial time--there are only a few graphical instructions--give it a while and it really grabs you. Great game! Show less

Since Pennmom covered it all in a very good review, I will simply add my opinion of the game. It was adorable and so imaginative! How would I feel, suddenly becoming smaller than a spider, having to survive in a teeny-tiny world? First, I would freak out!

Since Pennmom covered it all in a very good review, I will simply add my opinion of the game. It was adorable and so imaginative! How would I feel, suddenly becoming smaller than a spider, having to survive in a teeny-tiny world? First, I would freak out! Then I think my curiosity would take over and go exploring this amazing environment.

The demo was lots of fun. The tutorial is very minimal, but I found the game easy to figure out. I loved the sharp, beautiful graphics and the artwork was divine. Everything was very colorful, clever and just cute as can be. The few games I encountered were not difficult, they were enjoyable. I liked the hint system, which was not the norm. Just remember to click on everything, everywhere. Up and down, all around, inside and out. Those berries could be anywhere and are your only hope of changing back to your normal size.

Had a lovely time in the itsy-bitsy world, but time to return and add this little gem to my collection! Well worth 5 stars.

God Bless.... Show less

It's quite a lot like My Brother Rabbit. So if you loved that, you'll love this. A lot of original puzzles and gorgeous graphics. I've played two hours and got stuck so I'll go back to it tomorrow. The only problem I've found is that the hint button will sometimes light up even though you aren't in the right area for the hint to work. But that might just be me. Otherwise it's a really good game ...Show more

Yes, you need to test your brain matter and memory bank. There are logical solutions but it certainly isn't easy-peasy. Loved it... if your looking for a challenge.. check this puppy out.

It is a very different Hidden Object Puzzle. It is easy and hard all at the same time depending on what you are looking for. There is berry game for hints you can play and great if you are having problems finding an object.

There are not a whole lot of instructions, so you basically have to pay attention to what you doing to get the hang of what quest is next.

Music is good, graphics are good. There is a volume control for sound.

Happy gaming! I definitely recommend giving it try. Show less

I love this game! I actually first purchased it and played it on another site and I'm so happy to see it come to Big Fish! I have played it several times and I still have as much fun as the first time I played it! It's truly that good!

This is a combination of a Hidden Object/Adventure/Point-and-Click game.

Make sure to click on and in everything because you never know what you will find when you do! Also make sure to collect (click) on all of the berries you find...those are for your hint system.

As you click on things, gears will pop up and then at the top of your screen, it will show you what objects you need to collect and how many of them you need...kind of like in the game "My Brother Rabbit" There are also fun mini-games to solve.

I also enjoyed the music...it really fit the environment that you were in. I'm hoping that the version here will still contain the cut scenes with the great humor...fingers crossed it does! You definitely want to listen closely to those...they had me laughing out loud!

You can tell the developers put a lot of hard work into this game and if they release another game...it will be an immediate buy for me!

Give this game a try...I think you'll truly enjoy it! Show less

You will meet some unusual characters, one of whom may remind you of Alice in Wonderland.

The story unfolds slowly after a short and basic tutorial. My only complaint is that the music is repetitive, but it can be turned off if so desired. It took me a little while to figure out the mechanics of the game, but it was worth it. Give this game a try. You may like it too! I'm off to purchase and finish the game! Show less
