The graphics of "The Hidden Dragon" are colorful and cartoonish, appealing to younger audiences with a professional look, though some users find them mediocre and not well-integrated with the game's fantasy theme. While the visuals are generally described as cute and suitable for children, the overall aesthetic may not resonate with all players, particularly older ones. The game features simple graphics that support its educational intent, but the lack of depth in design has drawn mixed reviews.
“The visuals are colorful and nice, and there is a melodic background music.”
“Its charming graphics and the total absence of difficulty makes it perfect to introduce little children to the world of hogs.”
“First, the good: graphics and sound are cartoonish, as is appropriate for a children's game, but entirely professional-looking.”
“Very short game, mediocre graphics, but cheap and addictive.”
“The graphics are ugly (probably geared towards children), the objects have little to do with the fantasy setting of the game, and there are like two songs, one for the menu, one for the scenes.”
“The hidden dragon is a game made to appeal to younger children with its simple graphics and incredibly easy to find 'hidden' objects, and yet the average child probably wouldn't enjoy the game very much with how much speed and forethought is needed to get 3 stars on each level.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the melodic background and colorful visuals, while others criticize the repetitive soundtrack and find it annoying over extended play. Although the option to mute the music is available, the overall sentiment suggests that the soundtrack does not meet expectations, especially given the game's price.
“The visuals are colorful and nice, and there is a melodic background music.”
“It's beautiful and the music is good too.”
“And, just in case, music and sound effects can be muted in-game.”
“The worst part of this game is the price of 5€ and the music.”
“Poor soundtrack, annoying after long play.”
“You are only able to toggle the music.”

The gameplay is straightforward and revolves solely around finding eight hidden objects quickly, lacking complexity or puzzles. While it features a scoring system and a thematic context involving a dragon, it ultimately offers limited depth and variety, making it feel repetitive.
“Catchy gameplay with few features like a three-star score rating, changing words, and a picturized list of hidden objects (makes finding objects a bit easier).”
“The gameplay is ultra simple, no puzzles, just find 8 hidden objects as quick as you can.”
“Technically, the hidden dragon is a traditional hidden object game, where gameplay consists of hidden object scenes and nothing more.”
“After that point, the mechanics fail to go deeper, leaving this game with no hidden depth to it.”

The game is criticized for its lack of a story, featuring only a straightforward hidden object format aimed at a younger audience. Reviewers note that it offers no narrative elements, character development, or challenges, making it less appealing to adult fans of the genre. Overall, the absence of a plot or engaging storyline is a significant drawback.
“On the surface, it's everything I thought it would be; a bright, colorful, simple game aimed more at a younger audience and with a 'pure' form of hidden object hunting with no characters or story.”
“The Hidden Dragon is a pure hidden object game with no story at all, just click the hidden objects.”
“Adult fans of hidden object games won't like it because there is no story, plot coupon collecting, or minigames, just a bunch of hidden object screens.”
