Natural Threat: Ominous Shores for Android
This is probably the best free game I have ever played. It's weird in all the right ways. Has amazing graphics and really makes you think! I have used hints a few times and they are very helpful! Great game! I was playing at work to kill time but now I'm playing it at home instead of a million other things I could be doing
No way to exit ad pop ups without exiting game. Re-enter game and straight back to the ad! No chance to play even a decent sample before deciding whether to purchase a full version. I understand advertising on a free version, I really do, but a little common sense please!
Would have gave it 5 stars but the ads are ridiculous. Literally every scene change an ad popped up. And it's a pain to have to go through all the scenes when trying to switch to another one. It would have been better to have a map that you could use to switch scenes.
A fun game, good graphics & a lot of puzzles. I enjoyed the game play and storyline. There was a lot of back and forth between scenes (a map w/link to locations would help). Some of the HOS scenes were more interesting then others.
Great game but the ad pop-ups ruin it. I'm to the point of deletion and I know I'm almost done. Can't appreciate the beauty of the graphics with ads popping up every move you make
The full game was free, so that's a plus. Graphics were good, but the scene changes were really slow. Some of the items to be used did not make a lot of sense before using the hint. I doubt the game can be played without hints at all. Even then the game was good and enjoyable. Some of the cut scenes were gory, not sure if that's acceptable if the game is aimed at children.
I highly recommend this game. Excellent graphics despite being too dark in a few places. The hint button helps there. Yes, the no save feature is annoying but it is totally possible to get through this game in one sitting. Just allow yourself a couple hours. That this game can be played all the way through for free is amazing. Thank you for entertaining me with an original story line. Good job. :)
Enjoyable game, good mix of puzzles, solvable and plenty of hints, map would have been good to skip around but not a major issue, game saved my progress with no issues so maybe that's been fixed going by older reviews complaining about that. Can live with to pop up ads for a free game - they gotta pay the bills some how!
Can't stop. Curious to go on to the next challenge.
I have played other Alawar games. This must be an older one. No difficulty level adjustment so all objectives highlighted...too easy. Very difficult to get out of ad loop-had to exit game and get back in. Uninstalled after 20 minutes
I don't know if it's my phone or the game but it keeps popping up ads that I have no way of clicking out of except to click onto them and then when I exit out of the extra page that pops up to get to the game it has another ad waiting. So I have to do that until an ad pops up that I can click out of. Makes a long game 1000x longer so didn't even get past the first clue...too bad
For every time you walk in a door, an advertisement pops up and doesn't have a close botton to it. It is an obligation to click on the ad. So you can press the back button and continue to play. I couldn't even continue to play for how annoyed I felt already. Its TRASH!
I just downloaded it & got on with playing it. By you can't go 10 seconds without an ad popping up. And to make it worse, the ads are so large, you can see if it has an x to get out of it. All you can do is click the ad, then back out of it & pray your game is still there!! Glad I didn't waste money on this game!
While I expect a few ads with a free game, there are just way too many pop-ups during gameplay and my phone runs hot. Everything else is good, but the constant pop-ups messed it up for me. What a waste of rich colors and beautiful artwork! You know what happens next...
So many ads and most of them i have to click on to get rid of them. So i am constantly between the store and the game.. terrible. I have an s6 edge and during the search parts some of the items are beyond the edge so i cant see the unless i use hint. G5 games are 1 million % better
Utterly ridicules!!! To move from one screen to the other, an ad pops up that u cant close, sends u to the play store, and repeats itself 3 different times in a row each time u move to another screen! No option for adfree ver, (I buy all my games,) u guys are too money hungry i guess!
Looks like it would be a good game but I can't play past the first ad. The ad extends beyond the top and bottom of the screen and I cannot close the ad. Found out from another review that I could play in airplane mode and eliminate the pop-ups so that's what I'm doing. I don't like doing this. I may upgrade to more stars after playing more. Nope - it's a decent game but a tad easy and at the end a lot of traveling back and forth for no good reason. Still, enjoyable. Also it was totally free!
Can be a bit boring going back an forth this much but the puzzles make you think an on one part stuck, you just have to slow up an really look. So it is an ok game and for free it is worth playing.
I really loved the game until the end when you have to get the relics to put in the tree... you have to put one in to show you where the next one is and its all the way on the other side of the map and having to navigate through all the scenes was frustrating this game could have greatly benefited from a fast travel map
I never had a game with sooo many freaking ads. Literally anytime i tab on the screen ad pops up and i have to click on it. And I'm super pissed because I just clicked on it and it's making me start over even though I was almost done. But love the graphics, mini games. The level of difficulty was btwn very easy to easy.
My only complain is that in the end you have to go back and forth which is unnecessary. A map would be better rather than that it's a great game and it is free :D ... Hopefully you will have a sequel because in the end of the game im curious what happen of the girl's arm. Thanks you so much alawar
Would have gave it 5 stars but the ads are ridiculous. Literally every scene change an ad popped up. And it's a pain to have to go through all the scenes when trying to switch to another one. It would have been better to have a map that you could use to switch scenes.
Would have been a great game if it didn't have pop up adds every time you move from one scene to another. To make it worse you have click on the add and then go back to the game bc the add takes up the entire screen. No other way to clear the add
No way to exit ad pop ups without exiting game. Re-enter game and straight back to the ad! No chance to play even a decent sample before deciding whether to purchase a full version. I understand advertising on a free version, I really do, but a little common sense please!
There's no quick travel in between places and I know we play these to pass time but man, the end of the game puzzles are a complete waste of wasting time! Those 2 are the most ridiculous parts of this game. Otherwise enjoyed the story and puzzles. All the back traveling was a pain.
Good game overall with interesting puzzles. The graphics could be better, as could the story line. However the biggest detractor from the game is the lack of a map. Having to spend Sri much time going from place to place isn't fun. With that in mind the game is free, so thanks for that!
Lots of back and forth with slow loading between scenes. But a good game if you don't mind the waiting. Then you get to the picture where you have to place flowers. I got the access card stamped with 2 stamps, now the guide keeps sending me back to get more stamps, I have 6 now and it won't direct me on. I cannot find where to use the access card. The guide is flawed.
Good graphics and story for a free game. Nice and long though I am sure some would criticise the to-&-fro-ing, especially at the end. Perhaps a map would help here so you can reach destinations quickly? No bugs and the hint refilled quickly. My only gripe is that it seemed to end suddenly but for a free game that kept me interested, it's trivial point. Thank you.
Good story line, great graphics and well hidden objects. But the try me game pop ups everytime you move from a location in the game is a bumer. Fix the alful number of pop ups or charge for the game.
...this is an older game from alawar. The constant back and forth without warps was a bit boring, especially at the end. I also would have liked to accumulate the last pieces as I went through the levels. It would have been intriguing not to know what those keys were until the end. That would have also eliminated the back and forth at the end. Otherwise, nice game. Nice graphics. Nice music. Cheers.
Fantastic graphics, story and puzzles. Help is available when needed with hints. I tend to get lost so pressing the hint button shows me where to go without actually using the hint. Very addictive and enjoyable. I'm going to find more like this!
There is no map, therefore have to go back and forth all scenes, takes forever... Especially at the end. Otherwise no bugs and all free, can play it to the end
I paused my game & then resumed playing after 6 hours but all my progress was lost so i had to start from the very beginning. Because of which i've lost all interest in the game. I've noticed by the reviews that some other players have also encountered the same problem. And i've also noticed the lack of response & updates from the company. I've played another game developed by this company & it was very good. This one is good too but the glitches make it hard to enjoy the game.
The game was good for the most part. My 2 biggest complaints are that you have to move through every scene regardless of whether or not there was a task to perform, it took a lot of unnecessary time. Also, it would never save my progress. Every time I exited the game, I had to start all over again, VERY annoying.
This game was awesome!! I'm a HUGE fan of Alawar & this was another great game in my opinion!! A lot (most) of these games are try & buy & you get to play a small demo & then get asked to buy the full version (which is completely fine & understandable) ... but that does NOT happen in this game!!!! This is a Full Version game for FREE!!!! A lot of people are saying the game is buggy & blah, blah, blah but I played the entire game on a Samsung Tab 2 and I didn't experience a single problem... This game is a good length (especially considering it's free), has an interesting story line, decent graphics, & overall is pretty fun... I would DEFINITELY recommend playing this game!!!!!
Only at the beginning, but so far it's. For those having problems, don't try to pick them up but just tap them, then tap the place you have an action
Good for a free game but buggy. Story telling not particularly clear. Worst bug was the ladder which forced me to replay game from start (minus 1 star)! Only to find that the last leg was an annoying needless marathon (minus another star). A map would be useful for quick navigation.
Could really use a map/jump to scene function. So very drearily slow to keep moving back and forth (especially towards the end) with load screens whirring away each time (sometimes 10 times in a row - don't hold me to that I nearly fell asleep whilst counting) Good story; although a few inconsistencies. Great scenes. Items a little simplistic to collect and use. Enjoyed the HOS though - normally hate these.
I highly recommend this game. Excellent graphics despite being too dark in a few places. The hint button helps there. Yes, the no save feature is annoying but it is totally possible to get through this game in one sitting. Just allow yourself a couple hours. That this game can be played all the way through for free is amazing. Thank you for entertaining me with an original story line. Good job. :)

I was really enjoying this game until I put the chemicals in the bottle. I attached the spray nozzle and can see it's in place, but when I click on it and it zooms in, the nozzle isn't there, so I can't get any further. I've tried exiting the game and going back in but that doesn't work. I don't really want to start it all over again. Also there's quite a lag between scene changes. Am impressed that the game seems to be free though. I've not had problems with ads as I always play off-line. Update: will not work so have uninstalled.
