Twistingo: Turtle Bay Collector's Edition

This game is a heap of fun. The absolutely stunning graphics of our lovely turtles are a joy; and after rescuing all our beloved turtles, you may keep playing all the many games offered in the bonus chapter...all never -ending...I highly recommend this gem...

Hobbies, board games, card games, nature, full of colours. Welcome to Turtle Bay, a beautiful tropical Oasy where the rarest turtles live happily in their natural and protected environment. But our help is needed because an earthquake has caused damage to houses and shops, endangering turtles, many nests have been devastated and the eggs dispersed. Our task is to help Kanoa and Malia restore the island, its community of inhabitants and search for the lost eggs of our turtle friends. It's very relaxing, there's nothing difficult, it's about finding objects to match, alternating with sections of "Bingo" where we have to find numbers that parade before us in a snake of balls. When we complete these sections we will receive a part of the island map, coins, pearls or rare eggs; they are all objects that are needed to restore the island and make it a paradise again. If we want to collect more coins there is "Gameroom" with many beautiful games that will make us win easily. Collect as many coins as you will need to unlock "Collectibles" which are aids for the island. When we have saved all the turtles and collected the pearls, "Bonus Contents" will be unlocked where you will find: Bingo blitz Infinite matching fun Solitaire collections Pachinko blitz Show intro Gallery Collectibles Music It is an excellent game suitable for those who want moments of relaxation, with engaging music, the graphics are very beautiful and you can admire many landscapes full of flowers, animals, plants and the blue of the sea. It's a virtual holiday to get away from the daily routine!!!!!!!

[h1]I SAVED THE SEA TURTLES![/h1] I fell in love with Mixo Games after playing a really unique game called Lost Amulets https://store.steampowered.com/app/2184970/Lost_Amulets_Four_Guardians/  They have found a unique way to incorporate Bingo and Marble Popping to create a challenging and addictive hybrid in a game called Twistingo! In this third installment of Twistingo, we travel to Turtle Bay Island to help the locals restore their shops and locate missing sea turtle eggs. Hold on tight; you're in for a wild ride!  You can choose to play in a Casual Mode (slow animations, more hints, easier gameplay), a Normal Mode (faster bingo balls, fewer hints, more challenge), or an Expert Mode (quick bingo balls, no hints, harder levels) so everyone can enjoy playing at their own pace.   You begin by playing a Hidden Object Scene, but these aren't your average, typical HO scenes. The camera angle is probably the first thing you'll notice because it's as if you are standing and looking down at the objects. The second thing that catches your eye is the uniqueness of the objects themselves. These aren't junk items thrown into a pile on a table in the corner of a room or random household items scattered around the scene. At first glance, it seems as though there are only a handful of objects; some of the items even appear to be quite large.  There are two variations of HO Scenes. The first type requires you to find a specified number of items that are listed on a strip of paper, such as 5 Keys. As you remove the listed items, you'll uncover more strips of paper with different items to search for. Incredibly, the scene that appeared to have a scant amount of objects, turns out to be a multi-layered, multi-faceted, complex hidden object scavenger hunt!   The second Hidden Object type is a Matching variation where you remove pairs of identical objects. Again, at first glance, the scene appears to have only a few objects, but as you remove pairs, they uncover a whole slew of objects below them! Somehow, this developer has mastered the art of deception and is able to hide objects in plain sight! The goal of each Hidden Object Scene is to find Bingo Balls to play a game of Twintingo, or recover the missing Turtle Bay Map pieces, which allows you to progress through the island. As you progress, you will also be tasked with finding amulet fragments to restore Seven Sacred Amulets or sets of Pearls to restore the Island Artifact.   Twistingo has two variations. The first variation requires removing Bingo Balls as they travel in a single-file line (some levels have two lines & two openings). The Bingo Balls also rotate slightly, but this feature can be disabled. You can remove a ball by either clicking on the actual ball or by clicking on the number from the Bingo Card itself. The Bingo Balls must match the number and the color shown on the card(s). If you select incorrectly in this variation, the line will advance closer to the opening. If the bingo Ball line reaches the opening, you will lose and will have to replay that level. As you progress, Bonus Balls will appear in the line, such as Wild Joker Balls or bonuses that freeze time or push the line backward a bit. In this variation, you can earn extra coins when you finish bingo cards, but you must click on them before they disappear.   The second Twistingo variation is a lot less challenging, but I actually like this version better. Instead of bingo numbers, each ball has a picture or symbol. As the balls roll out of the opening, you simply click its matching onyx stone from the pile. Although you don't have to worry about the balls reaching the end of the line in this version, you do have to refrain from random clicking because additional stones are added to the pile if you make a wrong selection. In this version, you will uncover Turtle Eggs to save the sea turtles that can only be found on Turtle Bay Island! The Coins you earn are used to purchase Island restorations or feed turtles, etc. This is also an unusual feature because it's in the form of a movie clip with incredibly beautiful scenery. The coins can also be used to purchase Casino tickets to play various mini-games, such as Solitaire, Pachinko, or a game where you must guess if the next card will be lower or higher. If you win the game, you will earn up to four times the amount of coins spent; if you lose, you only lose the small amount you paid to play the mini-game. The Pachinko game is really fun; it's similar to pinball; I just wish it had flippers you could click to try to flip the balls back up as you would in pinball!

The third installment of the Twistingo series takes us to another island paradise where sea turtles nest. This time, earthquakes have destroyed the landscape and you are tasked with finding the peoples' lost artifacts, help them rebuild their businesses, and rescue the turtle nests. You will be playing through a mix of marble popper variant and HOS, with side quests in the "game room" where there are one-up one-down solitaire, a guess the higher or lower card game, and Pachinko machine ball-breaking layouts to help you build up funds to buy assorted extra goodies for the benefit of the locals. As in the previous game, you must construct your pathway through the island by finding the jigsaw puzzle pieces of the map as you're going along and assembling the puzzle until the entire map is built. This CE has an extra chapter of content tacked onto the end of the SE content, but it's not obvious as the game just keeps going along the pathway with a few extra jigsaw pieces until you rescue a seventh turtle nest (the SE has just 6 turtle nests/chapters total). I would not have realized this myself except for noting some very specific numerical typos in the storyline texts (now fixed) while beta testing! The storyline this time is much improved and while it's not great literature, a lot less contrived than in earlier games, and all the scenes are voiced-over. Other CE extras unlock after you've finished the main quest on the map and include: 6 bonus marble popper levels (3 regular, 3 no-lose), 6 "clutter" style HOS, 18 solitaire games, 9 Pachinko games, a music player, and a relaxing slideshow of pretty tropical images with an ambient soundtrack in the background. If you like the spin on the Zuma-type marble popper play where you must click on numbers in bingo cards as the same numbers appear on marbles in the chain, yes, those levels are back. Turn off the rotating numbers in MP levels unless maybe you're super good at this sort of game. The "click on rocks matching the marble symbol" to rescue a turtle nest MP levels appear at the end of every chapter. But the vast majority of this game is HOG: either traditional find stuff in a scene with the "list" gradually revealing on cards as you find things, or "clutter" type where you pick 2 of the same. While in the HOG scenes you must also locate fragments of artifacts, bingo balls (numbered marbles) to unlock the next MP level, or lost pearls. Every chapter is somewhere between 7-10 levels long and there's never more than 2-3 MP levels plus the one super easy turtle nest MP level per chapter, so I was getting a little HOG-ged out going through one HOS after another and would have preferred a few more of the marble popping levels. The level of challenge in the MP levels isn't all that intimidating...I'm not an extreme expert at the genre, but didn't struggle all that much even on the hardest difficulty and the game is pretty forgiving of letting a couple of marbles go into the drains before you lose. For some reason, the 3 "regular" MP levels in the CE extras are serious marble rage games which I wouldn't recommend playing except maybe on the easiest difficulty; I don't think they are winnable on the hardest difficulty (I tried and tried and finally swallowed my pride and switched to normal for those levels, and barely scratched my way through). The rest of the CE bonus levels are quite enjoyable, as are the side games in the "game room". I don't know exactly how many solitaire and Pachinko layouts there are in the game room, but I played the game room for at least an hour before I saw any repeats. If you enjoy HOGs and don't mind something a little different here and there, much recommended. But three games in this series is enough for me if they're going to keep in the mostly HOG vein, as it was the MP aspect that originally drew me to this series.

This game is very much like the others in the series. It is a good game that is a HOG plus marble popping game. The other reviews did a great job at describing this game. I like the game and think it is a unique game that I don't think you will find anywhere else. I purchased the other two in the series on another site and let me just say I don't regret buying them. If you have a problem or a question the developer will address your concerns. I had a problem with Norton going off and was told there something in the game that causes that and it will be taken out in a few days. I selected always allow because I trust the developer and Steam. I have no problems with my computer and it runs like it should with the game on. I played for over 4 hours and I am only half way through the game (not including the bonus content). It is a very good game and well worth the money.

First, I can't say enough about the art work. Its beautiful. But, more important, its clear and vibrant. So the HOG parts of this game are fun and interesting instead of frustrating and muddy. I like the HOG (Hidden Object Game) type of games. But I rarely play them because they usually rely on trying to pick objects out of barely recognizable, muddy, layouts. Not fun, or interesting, for me. Turtle Bay is completely different. The artwork is beautiful, like I said above. But the hidden object layouts are so much better than I have seen anywhere else. The first thing I noticed is that some objects are large. Unusual but welcome. Next, they are laid out in a jumble or pile. Noting like the Clutter games which are way more than I like. At Turtle Bay, its just right. Sometimes your task is to match pairs of the same item. Other times you look for a certain number of items printed on slips of paper in scene. I really enjoy them. There are also Jewel Match levels, to earn extra gold to "buy" in game extras, as well as Pachinko style levels. I have only played either of those a little. But they are great too and just as beautiful as the rest of the game. Finally, there are Luxor style bingo levels. I don't much care for them. BUT, that is only because I don't much like that style of puzzle. It seems like I am always hunting for a certain piece and then spending the entirety of the session in the last few inches of the track, trying to avoid the end. Not fun for me. You might love them though. Technically, they work and look great. tl:dr If you love HOGs, Jewel Match, or Luxor style matching, you will love this game.

The puzzles are fun and the art is amazing! There's large subtitles and good voice acting too. Thanks very much for making this game!

Ist einfach zum Entspannen, nichts weltbewegendes. Es müsste allerdings mehr Level geben, hatte es innerhalb von ein paar Stunden durch. Gut, man kann es immer wieder spielen, weil es weder gewinnen noch verlieren gibt ;)

Приятный и красивый поиск предметов, под ненавязчивую музыку. Иногда это перемежается с поиском предметов по словам, иногда найти две похожих фигурки. Периодически это бинго-зума, где надо успевать выбить нужные шары. Ужасно раздражала ИИ-озвучка. Лучше бы оставили персонажей немыми в таком случае. Мало уровней, но это дополняют мини-игры для выбивания дополнительных монет. Стоит играть? В целом скорее да, чем нет. Но только если брать по скидке. Скрасит пару вечеров чтобы расслабиться.
