Ehh maybe I won't bother then.
I started the free version of Dreamland, and I find the HOG parts so silly/boring. I eventually just ended up tapping all over the screen to find the items. And it worked!
I like the whole atmosphere of the game, though, so I may buy the full version if the HOGs don't get to me.

I assume you're talking about the game from Nevosoft. If you haven't played any of the Big Fish games, I'd still give them a chance. I think a few of them have free versions. They tend to be a lot better in the HoG department than Nevosoft games do. Of course if you simply don't like hunting for objects within a scene then you won't enjoy them no matter what, but I know while the concept seemed silly to me at first I soon grew to love that style of game play. Of course I still think true adventures are better, but as you know it's so hard to find a good one these days. I really can't wait for Telltale to release the new King's Quest game...

I think HOG games are just no fun on a small iPhone screen. And I dunno, I find them a bit pointless. I don't mind one here and there, but I don't want whole games of HO.
Playing Broken Sword 2 over the weekend gave me a craving for some more quality games like that. I forgot how great that series is. And long! Too bad we don't see much of that made specifically for iOS.

Gah!!! I played around with that puzzle in the Passenger and managers to solve it again, but not take a screen cap! Ugh.

I hear you. The iOS platform seems like a great place for adventure games, but no one appears to be interested in developing them. I would suppose from a scripting perspective they are probably one of the harder genres to handle due to the immense amount of story and dialog required for a good one.

Ok Eric -- if you're still stuck, I posted a screenshot of the second bulb.

Edit: Nevermind, just realized you were stuck on the other puzzle. Oops!

Thanks, but I got past that part. Like I said, I'm on the Simon type game now. Just haven't had the chance yet to go back and see if I can beat that one.

No, awakening- Moonfell woods is mostly adventure along with nightmare adventure- witches prison. Trust me, if it were all HOG, I wouldn't be a fan. Oh and A witches curse is great. For $0.99 you can't go wrong!!!! I'll buy you a $3.00 game if you hate them and feel they are all HOG.

Also, Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials is amazing! Not sure if it's still on sale.

I'll admit that I'm not all that far through Moonfell Woods yet, but I thought Dreamless Castle had a lot of HoG in it. It has been a while, though. Either way I found Dreamless Castle to be quite an entertaining game. In fact, so far I actually like it better than Moonfell Woods.

Lol alright I'll take your word for it. Too bad some others are iPad only.
Just bought the two Awakenings.
