Colourful and fun - you need to put your thinking hat on as often the shapes don't go in the direction you expect. Increasingly challenging as I am working through it - I think I will purchase this on a sale day as I would like to play longer than the demo.
I see another reviewer says nothing happens - it does take a couple of minutes for the opening display to finish, and then you click on each tile you wish to swap - it lights up, you swap it with another to form the correct connections.
There are darker hexagons which can't be moved, earlier on this is useful as you can work from that area as your base.
Worth a try!
This is a follow on from Lines and Knots 1 which works the same way - I suggest looking at that for reviews as well.

I liked this - charming, beautiful graphics, lots of variety - something light and pleasurable.
Fun to play, game puzzle mode is always changing, have only played briefly but it's a buy for me. Great to turn to for a bit of relaxation now and then...
The game play was soft, smooth and accurate - very nicely done..

The more I play this the more I am getting into it and enjoying it - directing the light sometimes takes a bit of thought, and it's not a straightforward M3. I am perservering to make sure I get the gold for each level which sometimes takes a couple of attempts if I let the light through too soon.
The other reviews cover it well so I won't repeat - but as an M3 fan this one is a breath of fresh air, and I am loving it.
I have bought the Collectors edition as with 60 extra levels that looks like great value. This game could easily be replayed and it will be a keeper!.
Cheers to the developers for a bit of originality ...

I agree with the other reviews - it's fun swapping between different solitaire challenges and I am enjoying the maths option particularly.
I appreciate that you can repeat levels - I purchased this and am now up to the fourth quest and so far (some with several attempts) have got to three stars but am now semi-stuck. I could carry on but am perservering to get to the 3 stars if possible, however I do like that you can continue OR come back as many times as you like to try again.
Really fun - lovely smooth graphics, nicely done...

These games are so much fun - I started out thinking I didn't like it at all - but you really need to stick at it for a few levels and then the WOW factor kicks in - it's fun, cheerful, funny, beautiful mechanics, and can get extremely challenging.. as well as a fun story rebuilding Trito's surroundings..
The limited movesis not really a problem, so far I am through to Level 430 on Tritos III on the PC and have built up lots of not too difficult.. I love the way if you do run out of moves then you can retry each level without a penalty..
I try and limit myself to no more than 20 levels a day - it's so addictive I get sidetracked from all of my other jobs..!

As other reviewers have said this cheerful colourful game takes a while to get the hang of and then WHAMMO - what a lot of fun. I deleted my first game and started again once I worked out what was happening, and now have built up substantial diamonds and it's actually the limited moves that makes it so much fun.
You can try again at each level with no penalty so you have nothing to lose, the trick is don't use up your purple diamonds to extend your game, just give the level another go with the Retry button - and it works!
I now love it and am going to go back and look at levels 1 and 2 as well and see if they are as good.
I would also love to see a Trito's Adventure 4.

t's a 5 star rating for the match 3 mechanics but I am continually getting frustrated at the lack of ability to finish a level to 100%. I don't like the continual hassle of trying to find a hidden area - if you don't get it right you have to slowly recharge - such a long haul when you have to try many times. A hint to find difficult hidden areas would be appreciated! I bought the CE as I loved the first Runefall, and its sister game Silver Tale, and I've got through to level 14 on this one, all with gold medals 100%, BUT am now am trying to play the Isle of Kald - it's finished at 76% - so far I have jumped all over the place about 10 times and nothing will take me to a hidden place. I can't find anything on the internet about it.. but there is another area there somewhere. This isn't an official numbered "level" - so I will just skip it , but it's really really frustrating me and has taken the shine off the game..
I don't recommend this game.

I love this game - colourful, easy scrolling, fast and smooth graphics. I like the challenge of getting the "hat" cards, sometimes you can do it, sometimes not. I have got to level 4 with all perfect scores, but many have had to be repeated a few times.
The cash is generous and you can buy some super upgrades which definitely help to obtain that optimum 3 star and holly level . It's really fun - and I have a long way to go.
Tutorial and stories can be skipped, but the stories themselves are relevant, and fun.
Relaxing for all ages - I can definitely recommend this one!

Don't overlook this game if you like Match 3 - as it does get a LOT harder later on. Initially the graphics make it seem pretty childish, but it does get tougher as you work out a strategy to finish.
Once I worked out how the star system worked I got into the rhythm of the game and am thoroughly enjoying it . I have bought it as a relaxing fun game to play when I need a break from more stressful or darker games.
I recommend it - give it a try for the first free hour - I was surprised how quickly that passed and I wanted to carry on so I bought it..

What a super Match 3 game - challenging, extensive, and lots of fun. The graphics are gorgeous, the playing is super smooth - the challenge of building items, looking after my horse, crafting objects - they all make for a very special Match 3 which is completely one out of the box. I won't repeat everything that has been said - but this one is definitely worth a buy and a go. There is a LOT to it and it is a game I will keep and enjoy for a long long time. THANKS developers - I am very impressed!!
I recommend this game!
