Really enjoyed this one, as this is my favourite type of solitaire and sometimes I like a card game to relax with over some of the more frantic TM games. There is a story, but it's easy to ignore (I don't really care so much about stories in card games). The music and graphics aren't as nice as Fairway Solitaire, but overall the gameplay is similar to that one.
If you liked Fairway Solitaire, you should check this one out.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed the way the hidden object scenes worked. There was a mixture of hidden objects and fragmented objects that had to be reassembled. There were also a few objects to find outside the HO scenes.
However, my big complaint with this game was that it wasn't always clear where to go next. I found myself spending a lot of time walking back and forth between scenes I'd already unlocked, just to see if a HO scene had opened up in one of them.
And a few of the quest items weren't clear. For example. you had to find a 'weapon' to go with a suit of armor, but I tried a crossbow, a knife, etc, and none of them worked. At first it felt like things were broken, until eventually I found the right sword.
On the upside, the hidden object scenes were clear and were about the right level of difficulty, so if you don't mind a lot of walking around to find them, it was a decent game.

This is NOT a dash-style game in that you do NOT have to drag customers to tables (which I hate). You only have to fill orders for people at the counter and bring them their food and take money, making it more like the cake decorating ones.
It's cute and very enjoyable, even though the later levels DO get harder. There are several different bars you have to run, one after the other, and although you have to start over with some of the perks with each one, you also have some perks that are permenant, so you don't have to rebuy from level to level, and you also still have them when you go back to complete earlier levels, so that's really good.
I like that it's not a click fest. Like to pick up coins, you only have to hover your mouse over them and it picks them up without you having to click. Great for those who don't like the strain on the tendons in your fingers from those click-fest TM games.
I recommend this game!

In this game you play a little fishie, trying to eat smaller fish and avoid the bigger ones. The more you eat, the bigger you grow. It's very click-intensive, so those with hand problems may want to try before you buy, but it's not insanely clicky like some of the TM games out there.
I love this game so much, I bought it twice. I bought it elsewhere and lost it in a computer crash and couldn't re-download. But I'd enjoyed it several times before, so I didn't hesitate to get it again, this time from BFG where I know my past purchases are always safe.
It's fun, challenging, and the music and sound effects are perfect. Fun to play again and again.
I recommend this game!

I loved the first two Drawn games so much I bought this one without even testing it out first.
I wish I had. It's really beautiful with some inventive animations, but holy COW the loading is SLOOOOW. I very often had to wait 2-3 min for every scene, every turn of the page in the book...and my laptop is only about 14 months old!
The puzzles were much easier than in the other Drawn games, and the storyline was a bit *yawn*, as it didn't seem to add anything new... just bad wizard steals good boy, and that's about it. No surprises there or enchanting twists.
I don't think I would have bought this if I had tested it first. Loved the voice acting and the imagery is first rate, but the slow loading was horrible and the game seems very short with easy puzzles and too-samey storyline.
I don't recommend this game.

I wasn't sure I'd like this game, but it was so adorable and relaxing, I couldn't resist. Very well made, no bugs I could find, and lovely graphics and music. It does get more challenging as the game progresses, but isn't stressful at all to play.
4.5 stars!
I recommend this game!
