The Ultimate Best in HOG!!
Many HO gamers may not see it that way, but in reality it IS a HOG. You must find items to progress in the game. Different from your traditional HO where you get one screen shot and have a list of items to find?this makes you use your noggin and actually think/search where to find items.
The graphics are simplistic, yet fun and pleasant. The music I just loved, soooo relaxing, even when I started to get a little stressed out from the puzzles, it was fun listening to the music. There are puzzles galore, many your basic standards, pipes, rotating planet maps, jigsaw puzzles, photo puzzles, not difficult.
You have a hint button that fills up by clicking on the colorful blue bugs (nits, dragonflies?). When you have filled up the button a red bug appears, click and he circles something on the screen. If he does not, you haven?t filled up the button, or if he is not there and the button is full, it means there is nothing in that area to do.
You have 4-5 chapters (I lost count). After each chapter you have a jigsaw puzzle of a planet that you have to add pieces to?each chapter you do a little more until the end of the game where you complete the world. At the end of the game you have access to all the puzzles you played in the game to play as you wish.
Many people get very frustrated with these types of games (similar to adventure games). If you are unable to progress in the game it usually means you have not finished a project. Example, at one point you are to collect 3 apples and turn them in for a coin. I collected all 3 and the coin was presented to me, however when I clicked on it it would not be given to me. At first I was very frustrated thinking it was a glitch, it was not. I had to go and play a rotating global map puzzle first, after that I was able to get the coin and continue. Many times in these types of games people cry ?glitch?, when in reality the player has not collected what is needed, or performed a task before the game will let them continue. There is a walkthrough on the internet (not on BFG) I highly recommend you save the link in favorites or copy and paste.
I recommend you at least try the demo. However be warned, it will take a while to get the hang of it and at first it is a little frustrating, compared to the standard HOG this one makes you walk and really search 3-4 different screens to find your items (usually collecting x amount of balls, x amount of puzzle pieces, x amount of pipes..etc.). Once you get the hang of what is expected it really is fun?also have that walkthrough open so when you hit your Windows button you get a little assistance.

Tiny Bang with a Big Blast!
Although I am an avid fan of Hidden Object Games (HOG), I found this one a delightful distraction that can suck you in and not let go! Loved the puzzles, liked the arcade games (although the first few time I played through it, my children had to help me lol), and find myself drawn back to it again and again.... and again! This is the first game of its kind that I have found, and truly wish it was longer, or you have a sequel. Anyone looking for something a little different, a little challenging, and a whole lot of fun should grab this one. Its a keeper! Its a fun game ANYONE can play. No age restrictions, no icky-poo nasty stuff. I HIGHLY reccomend this to everyone.

Where?s the Sequel?
I loved the Tiny Bang Story! I loved the little characters and community. I felt the developers put a lot of imagination into the game. It was a light and joyful experience (a nice break from the dark and dreary games).
You need to find a number of similar items (sometimes small) in various scenes to initiate a puzzle game. I liked the idea that you had to do a little work for your hints and there are no skip buttons for the mini games. The puzzles are somewhat common since this game is a little dated. However, the jigsaw puzzle you build throughout the game has a different twist to it. There really is no story, talking or reading in this game, the characters just kind of grunt or sigh and you simply move on to different scenes when you complete a level. There are also no HOG junk piles/lists (which is a plus for me).
The game can be a little challenging at times, but that was part of the fun for me. I did have to check a walkthrough (found with an internet search) a couple of times, but I finished it not wanting it to end. Overall I felt this game was a lot of fun!

Visually Appealing
I love games that are visually appealing in a light and cheerful way. I absolutely loved the visuals in Tiny Bang. I am a casual gamer. I found Tiny Bang challenging and not at all frustrating. There were only a couple of areas that I needed to seek help from the walk through. The one downside is that it only took a little more than a week to finish the game.

Quite Unexpected
A nice easygoing game, highly recommend if u dont want judgements for wrong answers or too many clicks. Puzzles are challenging though. There are no instructions or "correct" hints provided and u cannot skip the minigames. Not being able to skip was the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Developers need to understand not all people can solve every type of puzzle or do arcade because of certain "handicaps" they may have (ie colorblindness, coordination) therefore they failed in the one thing they tried to get rid of in their game.. stress. Dont get me wrong i loved this game, highly enjoyable if u want something out of the ordinary.

The Tiny Bang Story
Loved everything about this game. Have played it a number of times. Please give us more games like this one. Only one complaint is that I wish it had been longer. Thanks to the creators of this one.

Refreshing
My boys and I love the adventure games, but, most of them are too scary for them. All 4 of us loved playing this game and really wish there was more like it.

Sequel, please!!!
I agree with the previous reviewers...this game was fun from start to finish and I hated to see it end! I, too, am tired of the same old, same old games that are being offered today...even the adventure games that I used to love are now mostly a combo of HO scenes and after a few of those I hit the uninstall key. I wish there was more of a balance of games being offered.

Quirky Fun Hidden Object Game
A fun puzzle solver with picture clues without the endless list of names for the hidden objects. I love the progressive quaint story line.. I have played the game 5 or 6 times and never get tired of it!

Good, but...
I found this game to be very intriguing and fun until I beat it, which ubfortunately didn't take very long. Also, there were a few puzzles that I wish had a skip option. Overall though, this game was a fun challenge.
