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 Escapes!

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?

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. Reconnect with friends, join group play games, check out the Game Series Lists, find gaming help & share tips, or just chillax by the campfire and enjoy nature at thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I, too, love this developer and the splendid HO games they create. Sure, they are each basically the same but the theme changes and being an animal and nature lover, the games are very appealing to me. I always purchase without regrets.

The graphics are amazing, bright natural colors. The scenes are overflowing with beautiful images, all real, no cartoonish stuff. I love the detail and density which make finding the objects more challenging, but not overly so. Everything is very well hidden. The zoom feature and magnifier are a blessing for my imperfect vision. The game has so many features and options to make it an absolutely fun experience.

No frustrating timers, no weird sound effects, no dialogue to read, no cartoonish animal families. Just an abundance of fun, flowers galore, beautiful scenes, mini games, lots of morphs and other extras. They all make it a CE worth the extra $$, a guilt-free goodie for me! Plus it's CE BOGO day!

This game is similiar to Animal Kingdom in its structure: two screens to work with, morphing objects to get for bonuses and photos to find. A lot of things to remember at the same time for the damaged brain. The coloring pages also present a small challenge.

A lot of things to remember at the same time for the damaged brain. The coloring pages also present a small challenge. I love flowers so using my bonus points to buy them and create my garden is great fun. The game works the nuero pathways for the eye-to-brain, brain-to-hand exercises. Wish I could find more games like this. Show less

I just finished replaying all of my "I Love Finding..." games and, while I hoped for something new, this is the same game with a different title. There is the main scene, the second scene, 3 morphing objects and one special card to find, and two puzzles after each level. What really gets me is the morphs take so long to happen that I don't get very many time bonuses as I sit there waiting for the ...Show more

I just finished replaying all of my "I Love Finding..." games and, while I hoped for something new, this is the same game with a different title. There is the main scene, the second scene, 3 morphing objects and one special card to find, and two puzzles after each level. What really gets me is the morphs take so long to happen that I don't get very many time bonuses as I sit there waiting for the morphing object to change. I already have enough of this game format that I can replay so it's a no for me, but I will recommend it as others may like this format enough to look past the repetition. But, as always, try it for yourself. Show less

I enjoyed playing the demo but the game falls short of a great game. I think the polaroid and 3 morphs were easy to find. The HO scenes were fun to play but wish there were more objects to find and more HO scenes. Way too may puzzles in between. Sometimes 2 puzzles to 1 HO. And a lot of the puzzles were too childish (the click, drag and paint became redundantly annoying).

I think with some tweaking, this type game by this developer could have some potential.
I recommend playing the demo just to experience it for yourself but I would give the purchase a pass. Show less

I've played all the Find Cats, Critters etc. and enjoyed them. Even the mini games... spot the difference is always good fun. Now this one... the hidden object part is ok. The mini game is not. It's for children, not adults. It's boring and a waste of my time (and, money). I certainly won't spend good money on it since there are many other HO games available.

I don't recommend this game.

The free hour of play was great and then I purchased. Now It shows I purchased but it won't let me play. I can't even click on the purchased button. Also getting into my account is a job and I need to say I forgot my password and have a new one sent each time! I don't have a lot of games but when I buy one I like, I like to be able to get in and play without a lot of hoops to jump through.

I recommend this game!
