Secrets of the Dark: Eclipse Mountain Collector's Edition HD - A Hidden Object Adventure 9+

A good game, nice graphics and beautiful scenery., easy to follow the flow of the story....like the changing rooms too, a nice touch ..and the HO games, a few new tricks..nice! Not having teleport in this game not so bad, as seems not that many locations, and got to be fun trying to remember how to get from place to place.
Now the bad part: as others have said, crashes often...probably had to restart the game 15 times or more. It went back to where I left off, so that at least was good..
Mini games: some would just not work well, and frustrated, I skipped more than I wanted to; trying to move the little marble so the bad glowing marbles don't get yours....and your marble won't move no matter how many ways you try to move it,,,and down it goes..FRUSTRATING!. For myself, There were a few games like that: objects would not move easily,,,,sticky like,,,so it was difficult to work it out and complete the game. Maybe that is just me or my iPad...don't know.
I too was annoyed with the "solve the puzzle" bit, ,then finally noticed another button said ."instructions" ...and there were good instructions.
I tried to use the guide twice, ...would not go there, just crashed.,
So..I liked the game a lot, but some improvements would help,,,,,thanks😊

This is an older game, but honestly, except for graphics quality and a few bells and whistles, the older games were better! There is no teleporting map, so if that is a deal breaker, this game is not for you. The story is interesting, the puzzles take some time and thought and there are a lot of them, and they are quite varied. Also lots of HOS, which are all revisited. So much to do, not the usual find amulet, insert amulet, repeat. Although you do that as well lol. The game is very long, and the bonus game is longer than many of today’s main games! The graphics are not as vivid, but the developers put in lots of cool touches, such as leaves blowing by, etc., that make you feel immersed in the game. I experienced no glitches. Real rating 4.5 bumped up to 5 for being a true delight to play!

It was a pleasant and peaceful game, and I enjoyed it once it finally booted up. A little frustrating not having a map, or that the Hint only told you that there was nothing to do in the scene. No other clue. Some games were fun, but others went on and on with no resolution in sight. I skipped more games than I finished out of frustration.

The Bonus Game was a let down. After it finally booted up and getting to the second scene and back to the fist, every touch of the screen would kick you out completely to my home screen. Therefore, having to reboot and watch the elephant walking for a few minutes. Why I kept trying over and over beats me. Same outcome each time.

Needless to say, needs tweaks and work to improve. Let me know when you get it fixed so I can finish.
