I've been playing this game for hours. I like the unusual items you have to clear. I like the dart game. I haven't seen that one yet in the other solitaires that I play. I like the power-ups and filling up the yard with stuff. Always fun. The story line is OK but I am really interested in the unusual levels. If I want a crime story I'll turn on Lt. Joe Kenda. The graphics are very well done in this game. This is one of those games and I will go back and replay it.
I bought this game without trying it out. The first several levels were OK but I thought I probably would not like it. The dialogue is really weird - like the Klingons were trying to translate it. However as I moved further into the levels, the game got hard. I played it all morning and am enjoying it. I like the match two solitaire since most of the other ones I own are the up and down. The characters are cute also. The power-ups are needed in the higher levels. Impossible to get through them without the power ups. Between the frozen cards and key cards and gold cards you really need them. I gather all the coins I can to keep going. I really didn't get the stars portion of each level but I prefer the solitaire and am not worried about it. I like the hidden objects also. The artwork on this game is wonderful!
This is a wonderful game - similar to the Laruaville series but I love them too. The colored tiles are great and I used the tutorial even though I know the series. The side games are great. I love the spot the differences and the solitaire games. Loved seeing the wizard again and helping him rebuild.
This game is really nice. I love the characters and story line. I like rebuilding the kingdom. It took a little to figure out how to get the power ups but once I started using them, the hard spots to clear got easier. This is one of those games where the annoying spiders show up and mess with you so you have to clear the level quickly or more of them show up.

I love the series. This one is a lot more challenging then the other ones and I love the crystal puzzle. I thought I had that in the bag until further into the game. I am up in the level 80 section now and it gets better and better. You really have to take a good hard look on how to get into the levels when everything is blocked - except for that one little piece. I love how you have to maneuver around the locks power ups. Love that rocket that shows up when you need it most! Wonderful game!

This is such an unusual and interesting game! The characters are beautiful! The artwork is over the top! Side games are not easy but wonderful! Loved assembling the machine to free the butterfly. Once I started moving around the game I was able to get the hang of it but it took a little doing. I does have a nice rhythm to it. The hint isn't your usual right on spot in your face hint but I was able to work with it also. This game is just the best! You really have to think in this game and remember where you were and what you have to go back and find to move on. Very challenging.
I bought this game after reading Pennmom's review. The weirdness factor of this game was intriguing. It is very unusual. Sort of like being in that old movie Up in Smoke. The pastry dude comes and hollers at you because you are not doing your best so I bought some more pastries to see where that leads - no where but I'm still enjoying all weird colors and sparkles. The music is tough to listen to. The falling cats are very strange too. It is not a hard match 3 game - standard but the screen shots and map look like a poster from the late 1960s. I give it a plus for that. Makes me want to go to on-demand on my TV and rent Up in Smoke!
Haven't seen a spider yet. Love that you have to get the fire along with the torch to get rid of him. New challenges are always welcome! Love the storyline and building the city. That spider brings a new level to the challenges. I bought this game even before I tried it and it is that good!

My husband and I have been playing this since the day it came out. He moved on to expert but I haven't finished the 200 levels yet. Those bonus games were tough. Especially number 3. Took forever to get through it. The higher levels in the regular game are manageable if you get the power ups. The wand and lightening are important to get rid of the frozen cards. To be playing this game since the day it came out is well worth the price to keep enjoying this.

I love anything in this series. The bonus games are quite hard this time especially the timed ones. Only got through one at this point but I never give up. I still love the strategy involved as the levels increase. Love those little ghosts also. Like seeing old friends. Still love the side games. They break up all the match three and change things around a bit. I also like the hints. I forget sometimes where I am supposed to go and they help.
