Edge;There are no tricky puzzles in Fetch, since the game is busy steering you towards the arcade cabinets where the bulk of its challenge lies. The secret to progressing through any given area will always lie in completing the minigame housed within – and that game will usually be a perfectly serviceable clone of the type of game you find without an adventure wrapper on the App Store. There’s a lot of charm to Fetch, and this is as charmingly produced as anything on iOS, but there’s little adventure or arcade substance beneath its surface.
Gamesauce says: "Big Fish Games‘ Fetch is about a young boy on a journey to rescue his kidnapped dog. Chosen as Apple 2013 Editors’ Choice award, it took a team of nine people working just over a year to create the game. Conor Murphy, an online marketing manager at Big Fish Games, sat down with Chris Campbell, Senior Producer, and Brian Thompson, Art Director, to discuss the development of Fetch."
Mobot: You wouldn’t be-lieve the trouble that PR ladies Karen and Selene went to in order to get me a review copy of Fetch; we’re probably talking dozens of emails, encompassing both sides of the Atlantic. Had the game been rubbish, I would’ve felt fantastically awkward.
Fortunately, Fetch is quite possibly one of the most unique and endearing games on the App Store. Phew! What a relief.
In a nutshell, Fetch for iOS is equal parts arcade fun and point-and-click adventure. It’s an occasionally odd marriage, but it works a treat for the most part.
