I love this developer's games. Laruaville and the Cursed House series are very similar, using same strategies and game play. Maybe that's why I like both series so much. Looking at the page on BF, this looks more like a game for kids but it's far from that. It's very challenging and each board takes some time to complete. You have to use some strategy to win and think about your moves. But, it's really not difficult once you figure out the plays.
I recommend this game!

I bought it after about 10 minutes because I love the Jewel Match games. They're not for everyone... you have to get used to the moving boards but I love them. This one, is even better than the past ones. With four beautiful castles to restore and then two more in the bonus levels, there is so much to do. The games themselves are fun and challenging.
When you have finished a board, you can go to the "garden" go collect stars to buy things to enhance your garden or castle.
So much fun, a long game to enjoy. I will be playing it again.
I recommend this game!
This house is cursed and it has been a haven of evil spirits for as long as anyone can remember. Do you dare to banish them?

I had already played Cursed House II many times and loved that one. I tried the first one but it wasn't as good as the second. And now, here comes the third. I did about 10 minutes of the demo and knew it was a good one. Bought it immediately.
It's different from the second and I love it even more. The HO part was challenging... hard to find the pieces until you know what to look for, the spot the differences was difficult but I got it! The solitaire games was fun. I know it's going to get more difficult as the levels go on but it's so much fun and gives enough of a challenge to keep your interest going from level to level.
Love this game!!

I love this game. Challenging enough to make it interesting, really great graphics and the story line is ok... albeit a little wacky. Another island to decorate.
It's not a difficult game except for the octopuses ... octopi? They can get you if you let them. I play untimed but with those things (they still look like spaghetti monsters to me), you have to be quick to make matches next to them or they can take over the board.
A few new things from the previous games... the green lock is one. It reverses your board. You have to be careful or you can get stuck and have to replay the board. More of the spaghetti monsters than before but they make it interesting and with power ups, you can get rid of them easily.
Thanks developers for a great new Imperial Island!!

I'm enjoying this and know it will be a keeper. Enough variety to keep your interest. The music is awful but that's easy enough to turn off. The elevator operator is a little creepy looking but you don't see much of him. Whew!
All in all, it's fun and I recommend it.

I love M3 games but this one, I lasted for about the first 3 levels. Too boring for words. That and my biggest beef about these types is that you have to stop playing until all the jewels stop. You can't keep playing while they are dropping. I hate that. First level, I sat and waited and waited while the jewels dropped and then, I couldn't match 4, I could only match 3. It wouldn't let me match more than that. Just not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Not a bad game just not for me. The objects were very difficult to find and some in the scene that should not have been there for that time period were not included. Then there is the hint button. First time, I thought I might have missed the hint so I waited for it to reload and clicked it again. Still no hint. It is either so fast that my eyes couldn't keep up or it simply doesn't work. I think the latter since I tried it a third time, with another person watching and absolutely nothing happened.
No buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Loving this game. Not as easy as it first seemed but lots of opportunities for power ups and you can get through it. It does take some strategy, especially when you start getting through the first ten or so levels. There are plenty of wild cards but few will work with the J, Q and K so you have to watch out for that. An Ace will work with the King and a ten will work with the Jack but nothing with the queen! So watch your remaining cards and your remaining wild cards if you want to win the level.
I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes of the demo so bought the game. Love solitaire games and this one is a winner.
I recommend this game!

I love these HOG's. It's a great game, easy to see the objects though not TOO easy). It's a good series. The only thing I don't like is in the "concentration" games, stop with the flashy thing when you don't get it right! It's annoying and you have to sit until it finishes flashing which actually does nothing for your concentration. It's just annoying. Just turn the cards back and let us get on with it!
Finding the extra things like wildlife and recyclables is fun too. Just a little extra to do in each scene.
Overall, I like this series a lot.
I recommend this game!

I only played the first half hour of the demo and bought the game. The style of play is similar to the 4 Elements game, which is string M3 as opposed to the usual switch type. I like this style as it gives you a different kind of play and you can build a new garden. I like building things in my M3 games.
I did find it difficult to maneuver the mouse through this. You have to hesitate before going to the next one. It's not as fast as 4 Elements but I still like it. I think it's just a matter of getting used to it.
Choice of timed or casual which I always like. My old eyes don't focus as quickly anymore.
Now going to check out the first one to see if it's as good as the second. Great entertainment.
I recommend this game!
