First off I wanna say that offering a freebie (I commissioned Bees 0) of this series is a great marketing strategy for the dev. I ended up liking what I played and bought all the "I commissioned" games. I used to love all those seek and find books when I was a little girl and so these HOG type of games scratch a little of that nostalgic itch for me. I'm going to copy and paste this review for all the commissioned games I've played so far cause this is my whole opinion and thoughts on the Bees 0, Bees 1, Bunnies, Cats, Dogs, Frogs, Ladybugs. I haven't played Bees 2-14, 12 Days, or Advent yet. I would have to say I love the different types of art by various artists and because of this all the objects that you are trying to find will look slightly different, I like some of the music but not all because when I play HOG games I like soft mellow chill music playing in the background and not every song was this way but there is settings in the menu to where you can turn the music and sounds down or off. There is also other settings such as making the screen brighter and making the window full screen and such which I much appreciated. My favorites so far out of this series would have to be the cats, dogs, frogs, and ladybugs. I really enjoyed the sounds in these games with the bees buzzing, cats meowing, dogs barking, frogs ribbeting every time you click on an object and the sound affects in the dogs one for example when it made the art work feel that it came to life was very neat. I do wish that the artists names and the title of the art work was on the menu when you click on the picture you wanna do next. I really like how you can zoom in and out on the art work if you're having trouble finding an object because some of them can be very tiny and extremely hard to find. I like how the games don't punish you if you accidentally click on the wrong spot. I like that there is no timer but it does keep track of the time in which you complete each one. I also liked how these games had a couple items to find and not just 1 thing. The game has a hint system in case you have a hard time finding an object, you just hit the H key and an arrow appears showing you the area of where it's located, I personally try not using the hints to make it more of a challenge but it's always nice to have just in case. The games that I did play ran great and I didn't experience any bugs or glitches, the Steam achievements work too in case anyone is wondering about that. Overall I say I'm really enjoying these HOG games. The price points are pretty fair as well on the ones that cost money. Very nice chill games.
To the dev.:
Great job! I'm looking forward to playing more of this series and I'm hoping you will do more different ones as well. Here's some ideas: Gnomes, mushrooms, fairies, mermaids, unicorns, snails, turtles, starfish, shells, woodland creatures like foxes, deer, squirrels, hedgehogs, etc., butterflies, dragonflies, aliens, angels. You could have an Easter egg hunt one and a second easter theme with eggs, bunnies, chicks, tulips, etc. for a Christmas theme you could have snowflakes, gingerbread men, snowmen, santa clauses, wrapped gifts, candy canes, etc. and for a Halloween theme you could have bats, spiders, ghosts, black cats, witches, etc. The possabilities are endless :) Also I love cats so more cats please and thank you! lol! :))
