This is more of a question than a review seeing that there are no more forums. Under the achievemens tab it has listed there are 14 but I only have 13> the one I am missing is the last one of "Finding 10 ears of corn", does anyone know how to do that? I can't find and tips in game about it.
Aside from the game was fun and I do recommend it for those who just want to have a relaxing game.

I recommend this game!

I DIDN'T HAVE ISSUES DOWNLOADING BUT I STILL GET MISCLICKS ON SOME OBJECTS

When I played the CE version, I kept getting penalized whenever I clicked on the Star or Key Collectibles the first time. This happened on every level, every time I clicked the Key or Star the first time. After getting a red -500 points deducted, I would re-click the same key in the same area (dead center) and the key would be accepted.

On this SE version, it appears they fixed this glitch ...Show more

When I played the CE version, I kept getting penalized whenever I clicked on the Star or Key Collectibles the first time. This happened on every level, every time I clicked the Key or Star the first time. After getting a red -500 points deducted, I would re-click the same key in the same area (dead center) and the key would be accepted.

On this SE version, it appears they fixed this glitch with the collectibles, but now I get the same results with at least one random item such as the cat in the first scene and the tape measure in the second. I love Boomzap and appreciate their fantastic games, but this glitch sucks all the fun out of playing. Technically I could opt for a mode that has no misclick penalties but the game is already a bit too easy.

There are 4 modes of difficulty, Easy-Medium-Hard, and Custom which allows you to set the Hint & Super Hint Recharge from 5-60 seconds, enable/disable misclick penalty, as well as locking mini-game pieces.

Each Hidden Object Scene has a Hidden Key that unlocks a Fun Fact. You can replay levels to get a new fun fact if desired (5 Total per scene) Each scene has a collectible Star that will unlock that scene in the Unlimited Play mode. There are no Morphing Objects in the SE version, but 2 objects require a task of some sort in each scene, such as placing a slice back onto the pizza. In my opinion, this game needs a Collectibles tab that shows if you have found the Key and/or Star.

There are about 12 Listed or Pictured items to find on each level, none of which are particularly hidden, they are just out in the open which makes the game super easy. I played the entire demo and could max out the combo points on every level without having to speed-click! In the second level, I removed a "nail" that was actually a screw and discovered that a Ladybug does not count as one of the 3 Beetles I was tasked with finding...yes, a ladybug IS a beetle and nails do not have threads and a slit on the top for a screwdriver!

After playing 3 Hidden Object levels, a Mini-game unlocks such as swapping heart-shaped puzzle pieces, or word searches.

The Collector's Edition has 14 Achievements (also available in the SE) 23 Wallpapers, 11 Soundtracks, 54 Re-playable Mini-games (40 in this SE version) a Fun Fact Diary that unlocks when you find Keys (also available in this SE), a Campaign Mode with 40 Main Levels and 14 Extra Levels, and an Unlimited Play Mode which unlocks when you find Stars (also available in the SE) and Morphing Objects.

I didn't have much fun searching for the items. Locations were pretty clutter, most items easy to find because it seems little effort made to hide them. But faded colors and extreme blending made some very frustrating to locate. Items were small, some were mislabeled, some misspelling but that's nothing new in these games.

I didn't have much fun searching for the items. Locations were pretty clutter, most items easy to find because it seems little effort made to hide them. But faded colors and extreme blending made some very frustrating to locate. Items were small, some were mislabeled, some misspelling but that's nothing new in these games. Finding the Fun Fact Key will reveal some trivia for each state, I found some of it to be inaccurate. There are simple but fun mini games and a variety of HO styles, 4 difficulty modes, features were okay. Had there been more list items and more challenge I would have purchased. With only a dozen items to find on each lists and ease in locating them the game will go too quickly and that cancels out the fun and good value for me. It may be just perfect for you, however.

I recommend this game!

It started out fine, except for the misclicks, and then I discovered that, in order to move on, you HAVE to finish each scene at least 5 times - that is, provided you find all 5 keys in your first 5 searches. If not, you play till you find them. PLUS, you HAVE to play the bonus game. Only then, will you be allowed access to the next 3 mini-games. And you play what's assigned to that ...Show more

I didn't have any difficulties downloading or playing. There was no tutorial even though I asked for it. Pretty much the same scenes from previous games. Disappointment.

I don't recommend this game.

I have played hundreds of games, but when there are NO directions anywhere and no hints on the screen, it is hard to like what you are trying to do. HOW do you PAINT with no colors? How do you go on to the next Chapter... after Ch 3, it went in a loop back to 1 and 2..

I don't recommend this game.
