Different game but GORGEOUS graphics!!!

Wow. This game is absolutely beautiful but Im not into this morphing stuff. If this game had been what it is with hidden objects instead of the morphing objects, I wouldve liked it better, but thats just my opinion. The morphing objects are hard to detect and you have to have a keen eye to see them. I dont, which makes it hard for me. I find myself sitting and staring at the screen as the minutes roll by waiting for something to move and Im feeling like its time wasted and I could feel my iPhones battery just draining and draining. I wouldve preferred hidden objects here.
Now Im stuck in the game and I really dont want to start all over again to get to where Im at right now. It wont let me put the ladder down after I picked up the shovel. I looked at the strategy guide and the walkthrough & I know Im supposed to lay the ladder on the ledge where the ledge kinda splits but it wont accept the ladder, it just keeps throwing it back into inventory. Im getting very frustrated.. Has anyone else experienced this? Do I have to start over?
With the morphing changed back to the hidden objects and if it wasnt for this glitch Im experiencing with the ladder, this wouldve been a home run for me, a big five stars from me. I think the price is incredibly fair considering all the work it looks like the Big Fish team put into this game.
If anyone can tell me how to fix the problem with the ladder on the ledge, I would definitely change my rating to 5 stars. Its worth it.
