Enjoying it on my iPad 2 32 GB without a single glitch..

See its image

Lots of adventure in that game I see. Those angry bird games are really annoying!

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I've just about given up on The Haunt unfortunately. I did write to the devs and received a very nice reply, but not enough to sustain me. A shame.

The hidden object pages were my favorite! They were so popular that they published mags full of only the hidden objects pages

I don't know why anyone would buy any of those Angry Birds knockoffs when there are like 10 different Angry Birds games to choose from. I wish Apple would keep out the games that offer nothing, and are just trying to ride on the success of other games.

As for the Haunt, what made you give up? I'm in middle of a walkthrough, but then got side-tracked by other games (like Waking Mars). I will get back to the walkthrough, but until I do, people have been helping each other out in the comments section:

The Haunt: Walkthrough

I still like the game, I just find it's not one you can rush through. It has a lot of content, which is good, you just need to have the time to devote to it.

As for Highlights magazine, I uses to love the hidden object games, too. But somehow they were more enjoyable than these HOGs we have now

This is hardly fair. We might as well just have one of any type of game then. First of all, Angry Birds is itself a clone, just not of an iOS game. And personally, I've played several others that are just as fun (Cannon Cadets, for example). What really annoys me is that there are like 10 different versions of Angry Birds available. Why do we need that? Rovio needs to stop resting on their laurels and come up with something new (and no, I don't count Amazing Alex since they basically bought that one and polished it up a bit). I gave up on Angry Birds a long time ago and don't feel like I'm missing anything, but some of these new "knock-offs" are actually quite fun. Sorry, this is a bit of a sore spot for me

I'm not talking about other slingshot games that are good in their own right. Just like there are running games besides Temple Run that aren't just crummy knockoffs. But if a game has you launching birds to knock stuff down, it's an obvious attempt to fool people into thinking it's good just bc it resembles Angry Birds.
For the record, I never liked the free versions of any Angry Birds games enough to buy them (I think I got one of the full games for free and never even bothered to play). I just don't really enjoy that type of game. But if I were, I'd acknowledge that at least theirs is a quality game and not just some slapped-together copy-cat game that doesn't even work.

I hear you, but I honestly don't think that's the case with Chicken Raid. I haven't played it yet, but I have played several other FDG games, and while they do tend to mimic the popular draws of the day they usually tend to be fun in their own right. Cover Orange and the Bobby Carrot series in particular are quite enjoyable.

Also, sorry if it seemed like I was jumping on your case. I highly respect your opinions on games and you're certainly entitled to one on this as well. I just tend to get a bit defensive when people start down the "ban the clone" road when it doesn't seem necessary. And since you mentioned Temple Run, which is a game I enjoy as well, it turns out that a lot of those new "knock-offs" are actually better than the "original". Of course, there are some in that genre I'd love to see banned as well

Honestly, I didn't even look at who the developer is. I saw birds being thrown at stuff and immediately ignored it.
I don't deny there are some very good games that can be inspired by successful games. Unfortunately, there are probably 100 crappy ones for every good one that comes out (don't quote me on that, I know it might be an exaggeration :P).

And why did Zynga get hell for copying Nimblebit, but it's ok for indie developers to do the same thing?

Btw, did anyone actually try that game see if it's any good?

[Teagan]

No, we were waiting for you to be the guinea pig I refuse to due to principal. I don't like spamming and refuse to play a game called "Mad Chickens" that looks like a weak version of AB. That's not a similar genre, it's a complete copy. At the very least if one is going to be that obvious, don't call it "mad chickens". Lololol Or chuck something else in the air lol

Okay, I'll be the guinea pig (or is that rubber chicken???) By the way, the name of the game is "Chicken Raid"
