The energy needs to replenish twice as fast at least if you are to keep the attention of gamers. It really is far to slow to be enjoyable any more!

I don't understand the people who are talking about having to pay for this game. It's a free game. You don't have to pay for anything. Admittedly, the energy can get a little annoying, but it's just a matter of having the patience to wait for it to recharge. I'm really enjoying this game, and I look forward to seeing what's going to happen when the portal gets working. ^_^

When i'm just given a shadow of something but you can only see one corner of it sticking out how on EARTH am I supposed to find it without using a clue. But then I suppose thats the point. Then we have to spend money to buy more. The game is not worth spending any money on it unfortunately

If you chose to play a map again, all the items you collected get small and you can't collect them. It's a bug that should be corrected in my opinion.

Ok, I know you guys want to make money on this game, and that is just fine... But do it like the other games: bonuses, extra's and shortcuts cost money, not merely playing for longer than 15 minutes at a time

great graphics, great game, just sad that you have to wait sooooooo long to play for just a few minutes because of the energy bar. I was willing to buy a few extra creds at the beginning, but more than 40 bucks is a little much.

Have to agree with all the comments regarding energy. I only get to play for a half hour at a time (if at all). If each search were only 10 points, that would be so much nicer. :)

the energy side of this is sooooo bad. i understand the concept of needing energy to explore, but really.... zanduken says it the best, it would cost big money to continue to play this game or the time wait to continue is a real turn off

Are you serious? Its hard enough to get enough energy, to level up, to get the stuff you need, but to raise the energy you need to play a level whenever you level a location is the golden crown of bad ideas in game that could realy be wonderfull

I'm enjoying this game and I do not think that energy is the biggest problem. Lots of games use energy and do fine. The bigger issues are:
1) The amount of experience required to level needs to be lowered. At lvl 19 now and it has been taking 2 + days of energy use without any wasted to get to next level.
2)Gold costs to unlock areas are wayyyy to high compared to return on energy used. There is a need to raise the amount given for completing normal searches. I should not have to wait three+ levels to be able to get enough to unlock an area, I should be able to earn close to the amount required as I reach the unlock level by doing tasks.
As it stands, although this game has been great so far, it looks like the dev is trying to force people to pay if they want to progress at more than a snails pace. In reality, if things (ie exp and gold return for energy used) were more to scale with leveling requirements this would have the potential to generate much more revenue that it does now.

Such a pity I'll have to abandon the game because of the long wait! It is so full of potential, and could keep one playing for hours. There's practically no limit in ideas that could be implemented in this game... But energy? Bah...

i liked the slots game but....if you have a game like Hidden Objects with Energy,Your tellingyourself thaid rather be out of buisness right now,but if you get rid of the energy,Alot more people will come and play this game,but my only real complaint is this,Why the hell does a hidden objects game have fricken ENERGY in it???
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
bugged game! I used a bell to find the object when there's 30 seconds left and it waited till the clock goes over before it finds it. I lose both the game and my bell, this is ridiculous!

I'm sorry but you totally broke your own game with that energy system. The game is awesome graphically, nice story, gameplay is great. But... we cannot play past around lvl 8 or 9 without spending huge amounts of money... something like several hundred $ to be able to go forward. I wouldn't mind having to pay for extra content, but being forced to pay just to be able to play is very wrong. 1/5 because, right now, it's almost impossible to play.

It's a "social" game with pop-ups and stuff meant to earn money for the creator, not to be fun to play. That completely ruins the playing experience. And as far as hidden object games go, it's also sub-par.

i suggest lowering energy generating time from 5 minutes per energy (extremely long) to 2 minutes or 1 minute. If not, it's a good game wasted as people wouldn't want to wait for it and much less pay for it. Otherwise nice concept 4/5

Wow, really nice game with lots to do for a hidden object game. However, the game is hamstrung by the overbearing energy bar. I mean it costs 50 minutes just to help one creature and you need to help 10 of them to complete a quest? Seriously? Nevermind the escalating costs of actually doing the hidden object puzzles. Shame on you...

Beautiful game. but I can never view hidden object games
as cash grabbers. that and the energy concept took the fun
out of it for me. 4/5 anyway.

Such a nice game, except that the energy makes it basically unplayable... It takes 2.5 hours to charge what I need to explore once, and when you can't get the items you need for quests, you can't even level...

the butler says to find the diary, but i actually have to click on a shoe, elephant figurine, glasses, etc...extremely stupid!

however energy in a hidden object game is a crime. there are plenty of other games like this w/o this. and i'd rather buy one full game than bother with refills
