Yes, it's a nice format, but I found it very stressful! LOL I usually do really well with HOG, but this one has such a short timer, I just felt so stressed out to find all the shells before the time ran out. And some were completely hidden, only a tiny little sliver was visible. And those little red oblong shells with the sharp tips were the worst to find! I read where others find this game relaxing, and it was so the opposite with me. I was actually relieved when I finished it. Not my favorite game! LOL

AAAWW ...Relax before you start the game LB now that you know what the game play is like. The objects are easier to find if you are relaxed really!! and forget the timer I received expert on most of them just by ignoring the timer and just playing. I f you hit the timer medal right before finding the last object it helps and not hitting on the "wrong" pieces and as that score multiplier goes up the more points you can get,plus doing the same shells together gives you more points(chaining bonus).

I'm sorry you had a hard time..but I think this is My all time favorite game! I still play it every now and then for the fun and relaxation.

I agree gable 100%. This was my favorite game as well. It can be stressful I guess, but it's beautifully done and I replay it over and over.

Glad you like it Gable. It's not as easy to get expert though as you make out. Some levels you just don't know how many shells you'll get, maybe only 4, then others, they'll be like 10 ? marks to find. It's nuts! I just need expert on 7-3, and once I do it, I'm going to delele this game and send it back into the ocean! LOL

I really loved this game. It took me a few tries but I did make expert on all the levels. The best part in the upper levels is you can be a couple of thousand points away from expert but all those mystery shells give you a huge boost when you find them.

What I did find out for me playing was that the level difficulty varied each time you play since it's not always the same number of shells.

And... there are much prettier shells on this beach than the one where I live. Although it would be nice if they would add beach glass to the treasures that you find.

LMAO LB!! I swear after a while you like it.. truly lol ..maybe? okay..I admit I got real stressed in the later level but when I did relax and not worry about the time I would get expert..lol

I shocked my daughter that way, she would be stressing and I put a piece of paper over the timer and she would get expert or just get the level ,so she was happy.

I made expert finally on all levels (whew!) , and I would usally have gone back and replayed to improve my score. That is, IF I really enjoyed it! LOL I deleted this sucker! Hasta la vista baby! LOL Hope it's shark bait.

Ok, you all got my interest going. Gonna have to play it and maybe buy it now.

LMAO!! Lb1 too funny!!!

Fun game
