Multiple clicks are frequently required to register a given item. Worse is the game’s oft-imprecise object selection. A frog referred to as a toad and a moose head identified as a deer.

A few simply don’t look like the object they’re designed to represent while various “similar” items make for frequent 10-second time penalties, clicking on the wrong book, fish or other entity. Items, as indicated above, are occasionally hard to identify. Still, some elements in this underwater puzzler appear a bit murky. Setting and storyline are plusses, as well. However, spot animations such as bubbles, swimming fish and moving leaves help add life to each static location, and background music is especially impressive, lending greatly to the game’s ambiance. Though, quality is inconsistent across the board with regard to the objects themselves. They serve as time bonuses, adding 30 seconds to the clock for each tank retrieved.įrom a presentation standpoint, Hawaiian Explorer: Pearl Harbor generally serves up an attractive mix of photographic images and photorealistic art. You also lose 10 seconds for every errant click, so click wisely (and accurately). Three hints per mission are provided for when you’re stumped, but at the cost of a 45-second penalty each.

Time counts down as you play, but other factors also affect it. Expend all your time for the mission set and you’re required to start the entire set anew. Run out at your current location and a replay is compulsory. You need to watch the clock on individual missions, as well as the time remaining for the current set of missions. Plus, time is of the essence in each mission, as well as in the game overall. For instance, there may be more than one tree frog or book visible – and only one is viable. Multiple objects of like kind often appear on screen, too. Your only way of knowing for sure is to click and see what happens. But, some things are extremely well hidden and may not, at first glance, look like the object listed. When all items are collected, you advance to the next mission. Simply find one and “click” to remove it from the current scene. Listed items must be located in traditional object-hunting style. Caves, island bars and gift shops serve as examples. Most missions take place in underwater shipwrecks, but some occur on dry land. Regarding the bonus games, three are jigsaw puzzles derived from a sketch or document and one, the final diversion, involves locating hidden objects, numbers and letters on a map. Each list contains a key object of importance to the story, say, a wooden box, dog tags, map, etc. As with typical hidden-object fare, your task is to locate all the items on a given list. It spans 15 missions (locations), divided into five three-mission sets, and includes four bonus games, one at the end of each set.

Play in iWin’s latest seek-and-find game, Hawaiian Explorer: Pearl Harbor, consists of a single, timed game mode. As part of his Hawaiian-based diving team, it’s you task to scour caves, beaches, shops and sunken vessels in search of the lost artifact. Now, having investing millions of dollars and years of searching, Charlie has a lead on the relic. Since then, many have dedicated their lives to finding it, including Charlie. Presented in 1348 to the bravest Samurai in the Emperor’s court, it disappeared in 1756. Not just any baubles, mind you, but those of legendary stature – ancient artifacts such as Japan’s 800-year-old Diamond Medal, set with a 96-carat gem. Charlie Johnson, an eccentric multi-millionaire, has a passion for travel and treasures.
