This is a different kind of puzzle game, where you choose the correct tile image that goes into the section of puzzle that is outlined. At first, there are only a handful of tiles to choose from, but as you progress, more tiles are added to choose from and the tiles become smaller. If you place the correct tile immediately you receive 100 points, but the longer it takes you to find the correct ...Show more

This is a different kind of puzzle game, where you choose the correct tile image that goes into the section of puzzle that is outlined. At first, there are only a handful of tiles to choose from, but as you progress, more tiles are added to choose from and the tiles become smaller. If you place the correct tile immediately you receive 100 points, but the longer it takes you to find the correct tile, the less points you will receive. If you choose the wrong tile, that tile will be removed from the selection and the mistake meter on the right side of the screen will slide down a notch, if it reaches the bottom of the meter, it's game over and you will have to start over. The goal on all 90 levels is to achieve a 3 star rating. I have only played a couple of puzzle games like this, and my only complaint is that the pictures aren't very interesting, and many of the tiles are dark which makes it very difficult to know where to place that tile. If you don't like fast paced, race against the clock puzzles, you won't like this game, because I didn't see an option anywhere that lets you play this game in a relaxed mode. If you're okay with a timer, this game will be quite addicting for you, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

You need to try it for yourself.

The game play is different and very smooth. I found the trial hour flew by even though the graphics are very cartoony - they reminded me of Edward Gorey.

If there is a story, it is beyond me. The first level seems to be about a child in an asylum.

The game play is different and very smooth. I found the trial hour flew by even though the graphics are very cartoony - they reminded me of Edward Gorey.

If there is a story, it is beyond me. The first level seems to be about a child in an asylum.

I should mention there are some odd scenes with religious overtones. A nun accompanied by an enormous blue spider and surrounded by skulls for example. And an odd scene in a church. Some people may be offended.

There are some drawbacks...
No place for a players name.
Almost no instructions.
What words do appear are in some foreign language.

I fully expected to delete this after 5 minutes, but I will be using a coupon for this one.

This looks like it was made from the makers of Cut the Rope and Push the Box. I thought it was a good puzzle game. Quite simple but fast paced which adds to the challenge.

I recommend this game!

This is a strange little game that consists of putting together jigsaws in which all the pieces are square and the pictures are cartoons of an odd spooky girl in pajamas wandering through various unexplained scenes.

This is a strange little game that consists of putting together jigsaws in which all the pieces are square and the pictures are cartoons of an odd spooky girl in pajamas wandering through various unexplained scenes.

Game play is confusing, in that there are no instructions, no hints, and no explanation of anything that's going on. It's made more difficult by the fact that there are duplicate puzzle pieces in the mix. It's also timed, and if you don't pick the right puzzle piece (the game shows you which piece it wants and won't accept any other), a loud maddening TICK TOCK starts up. Do I need this kind of harassment?

If you know the "Edna and Harvey adventure series," which I confess I've never heard of, you might very well adore this quirky business. Otherwise, its appeal is rather evasive and its shortcomings too many to make me willing to struggle along with it. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

During the demo, I stopped and exited the game and went looking for help. I was amazed that there is next to nothing in the BF forums, with the last postings dating back to 2015, I guess when the game first came out. This game has zero instructions, tutorials, settings, etc. so there is no way to figure anything out.

This game has zero instructions, tutorials, settings, etc. so there is no way to figure anything out.

I didn't do a Google search on it, because I didn't like the game enough to put in that extra time.

I kind of liked the game, even though it is timed and that is not my thing. But the lack of support makes me think BF knew this game was a dude.

Try it, though, because it is different. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Yikes! I can't believe this game is appearing on BFGs site. Perhaps the game designers of Edna & Harvey were looking to create something different and edgy, but this game is one big epic fail in my opinion.

The first thing that amazed me was the lack of game settings. There were no word labels, just icons. There was no place to enter your player name.

Graphics are so poorly drawn that it's downright embarassing. There are absolutely no instructions on how to play, just a bunch of poorly drawn icons. There is no music, just a constant 'plink-plunk' sort of noise that got annoying the minute I heard it.

Seriously, be curious and download this. You have to see it for yourself. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
