UPDATE: June 19th Elephant will have a new release. It’s called Ms. Holmes: Five Orange Pips! Let’s keep supporting Elephant!
This gem was yet another terrific installment in the series, with Richard the skull stealing the spotlight away again from his time-traveling daughter. Yet his comments are always so amusing!
I love this series, and this game was no exception. The gameplay was fast-paced, the tasks enjoyable, and Elephant adds a touch of “Je ne sais quoi “ to make it totally addicting. There was a really good mix of HOP and mini-games. The game ran smoothly except for some minor touchscreen sensitivity issues with the map, a feature that seems to be prevalent in the developer’s games.
My biggest gripe, along with everyone else, is that we do not get enough bang for our bucks! The game was extremely brief, and that being said, does not merit such a hefty price tag. We have mentioned this issue time and again to Elephant, and they don’t seem to rectify the situation. We love the games, but they need to be much lengthier! Right now there’s not much competition, but eventually we will have EIPIX and some other games on the horizon. At that point the players will pick and choose. Elephant, please lengthen your gameplay!
My actual rating will be 4.5 stars, and I deducted a half star for overall length and a poorly functioning map.
Happy gaming, everyone!
