SEARCH ALL - MUSHROOMS

I've played all of these so far... but this is the first one I cannot recommend: some of the mushrooms are so small that even at full magnification, it's pretty much impossible to know that this "dot" is a mushroom; unless you enjoy a clickfest or use a hint, it'll remain hidden. The art is interesting as usual, the mushrooms come in various shapes and sizes, I dislike the music as usual (I end up turning it off), but I think this time around 5% of the mushrooms could have benefited from better definition. I hope the next games are "back" to the normal challenge: hard but feasible, without some of the guesswork that is required here. Also putting some of the mushrooms on moving objects will be difficult for some people; it's fun that moving objects temporarily make the "target" out of sight using obstruction, but hand-eye coordination should not be required in games like this. For those 2 issues, I can't recommend this game.

The "Search All" series is a good set of games if finding things style games are for you, if not then why are you even looking at this? Do not get me wrong I feel that in many ways they are lacking compared to some of the other games, due to the blend of background vs object art, controls, and a few other aspects. However, these things do not make them a bad games by any stretch. The addition of the HINT option on the majority of the series really saves any down sides mentioned, my biggest pet peeve in hidden object games is getting down to that last one or two objects. As with all games of this style I feel the play time vs price, even at the low price they are, is cutting it close. A few games in the series I had to leave them running long enough to leave a review, and for those of you not in the know reviews require at least five minutes of play time.

This is a general review for all ''SEARCH ALL'' games, as they all have the same problems. -The MAIN problem is the clicker is off, making clicking extremely annoying & hard. How can you mess up this bad? You can not unless you do it on purpose or you don't care. Yes, the ''developers'' don't care. -The controls for moving & search the map are extremely terrible, almost none existent. -The game will reset some o your progress once you finish the game. Meaning you will never have all the items found once you close/quit the game. -Some of them (SEARCH ALL) where lagging, like having 20-15 fps. Of course this is also unacceptable no matter how ''indie'' the game is. -Lack of options, there is no proper menu settings. In conclusion, compare to other similar games, the experience is so terrible, I cannot even recommend as an easy achievements game.
