Trinklit is a unique matching game in which you match 2 pieces of various shapes to make a square (imagine something like Tetris). If the colors match great - points for you. If you match 2 different colors great - SPEED point for you. It's like you just can't go wrong!
You earn "stars" which unlock "power ups" in the form of "gems" which randomly put a gem on the game board, click it and POINTS. Or, a portal where you can drag pieces you don't need. Or, a gift box that opens a mini game when clicked. There are 16 possibilities of power ups. There are also multi-colored blocks that will turn into whatever piece you want/need just by scrolling over a piece, then the multi-colored block and, wham, a square! Use them wisely and figure out which ones work best for you.
I couldn't find anything about this game that wasn't a PLUS. So, it's a definite buy for me. I encourage everyone to try this little gem of a game. The music is relaxing, the game play very easy. I never thought I could do it and if I can so can you - LOL.
Happy Gaming!
I recommend this game!

Your helping Olivia decorate her new penthouse and then on to her Grandmother's house in this hour-long demo.
First, you have to pick up messes in every room you go to and other sites outside the area you are renovating and redecorating. This is done in the form of HOGs. The items are usually very small and amid a mish mash of other items - LOTS of other items. Still and all, I was able to find everything fairly well.
Then, you decorate and renovate. You are given a list of items on the bottom of the screen that pertain to that particular room. You get a choice of 3 items each (3 floor idea, 3 living room sets, 3 appliance choices, etc.). I don't think you can choose anything wrong but I did pay attention to what she wanted to do with the rooms (contemporary, open it up and let the light in, etc.).
I enjoyed this game much more than I did any other decorating game on the BF site. The music was relaxing, the game play fun, a hint button that recharged fairly well and a small "click" penalty. I may very well put this on my wish list.
I encourage everyone to give this game a try. It's an HOG with decorating on the side. A little something for everyone.
Happy Gaming!

Since I gave a rating of "awful" for everything, you're probably wondering why I gave it an overall 2 stars and not 1. I dislike, strongly, the word "hate", so I will never give a 1 star review until that word is changed for something less offensive. So, although it deserved 1 star (really 0 stars) it got 2.
Now, on to the game. Awful. The graphics were dark and creepy (that was ok) but if you look closely it looks like there are trolls (or something) stuck in the trees. Why? They don't do anything. Maybe it's to add to the general creepiness.
The music was a guitar playing and an occasional "ahm" sound.
You click on a pearl, which opens a circular orb-type thing surrounded by several more orbs containing shadows of items. Find those items and when all are found you get an inventory item. I came across 2 during the time I played.
There is a mirror that once you find all the broken shards you have to use glue and then put the piece in. This frustrated me in the beginning because the shards didn't "lock" into place. It wasn't until I started going counter-clockwise from the "6 o'clock" place that they started locking into place. Hmmm.
The hint button is useless, takes forever to recharge and only told me there was nothing to do in an area. Didn't send me into another area. Didn't point to anything. Totally useless. Also, there was no skip button. I came across a stained glass window that needed several pieces put back in 5 places. No clue as to how the placement went and every combination I tried didn't work. But, no skip button. After 15 minutes of this nonsense I finally exited out.
I thought I would truly enjoy this game because it reminded me of one of my favorites (Bluebeard's Castle) where you get absolutely no hand-holding and have to figure things out for yourself. WRONG! This game gave no instruction, the hint button was useless, couldn't find a skip button during the mini games and the humungous cursor was a joke. You had to look into this little orb at the bottom of it to see if there was an arrow (go in that direction), a hand (pick it up), etc., etc.
All in all, I lasted 35 minutes and got nowhere. For all the above reasons, and many more, this will not be a purchase for me - not even with a free coupon or credit. I, also, will not recommend this game to anyone. It's a complete waste of our precious time. If you want a game that requires little hand-holding and is fun and mysterious and intriguing, go find it elsewhere, this is a DUD in my book.
I don't recommend this game.
Enjoy the puzzling beauty of this object inlay game as you match wits with Aztec kings, brave Samurai, and more.

The story line is incredible. You have to go back in time - to various time periods both pre and post A.D. And I mean pre-A.D., like 25,000 B.C. WOW - if we could really do that today so that the world would no longer have war, hate, hunger. Yeah, I'd totally be on board with that.
There is a conveyor belt that has a running stream of various shapes of a "mosaic". You need to put those shapes into anyplace they will fit before you're conveyor belt fills up. There is a "trash" bin but it opens very slowly. There are bonuses such as bombs, stars, etc. that will blow up items on the conveyor belt. That's the game play.
What I loved about this game. Why I am soooooooo sorry about that I can't play it .....the graphics. Your level opens up to the time period your in. Say Ancient Egypt. Every time you pass a level a new piece of the picture is added. Beautiful doesn't even come close to describing these pictures. Stunning. THAT'S why I'm sorry I can't play this game. I no longer have the speed, dexterity and flexibility for this kind of game. So, it's a no purchase for me.
But, I encourage everyone to at least try the first "world" you go back to. If I can finish it so can you. Take an hour ofyour time to play this free demo and enjoy the graphics that show in great detail Ancient Egypt and so much more.
Happy Gaming!
I recommend this game!

The premise of this game seems relatively straightforward ... so why can't I grasp the mechanics of this game?
On the right (NOT left) side of the screen is a total number of items you need to "purchase" before time or money runs out.
You "purchase" items that are above the screen in little bubbles that have a dollar amount on them. Below those bubbles is a shooter-type thing that contains a coin with a specified dollar amount on it. From what I could gather, you shoot the coin onto a bubble that has that exact amount or higher (because spending too much on an item is ok) but never lower (because you can't get change).
This seemed simple enough. And, it apparently doesn't help that every time (pretty much) you shoot at something a voice is saying "great", "super", "excellent" when it's anything but great, super or excellent because apparently I wasn't "purchasing" any items. Very confusing.
A tutorial would have been better than the little 3 screen "help" page. I went back to that help page over and over and over and really thought I had it. Again, it didn't help that I was getting the "great", etc. when I wasn't doing anything "great" at all.
This game is confusing, needs a tutorial and needs to get rid of the cheering squad (or replace it). For these (and many other) reasons this is not a purchase for me nor am I going to recommend it to anyone so they can go crazy trying to figure this out either.
I'll come back periodically and read reviews. I hope somebody can figure this game out and write about it - in detail please.
I don't recommend this game.

If you have ever played a game where you have to untangle all the birds, bees, whatever ..... forget everything you've learned. In those games, you've had to untangle everything before you can pass the level, mini game, whatever. In this game, you untangle bits and pieces of the mess (and yes, it gets to be a b-a-d mess) at a time. For every bit you untangle, they disappear. Your goal is to ultimately untangle the entire mess (sorry, can't think of a better word) until nothing remains. Then, you level up.
Periodically, a Queen Bee will be entangled with the other bees. You want to make sure you untangle her because she is the one that carries the bonus and as you level up and it gets to be such a tangled mess you shudder to think how you'll ever get through it, those bonuses will come in handy. Especially, when you don't have to think - do I use this one or that one - because it just automatically takes care of itself.
Things to look out for. There is a spider on a line to the right of the honeycomb. That's your timer. Don't let it get to the top or you lose the level. Bees that get covered in a sticky web. Don't fret, just include them in an "untangle", free them and you're good to go.
Bonus Level: Here you're on your own. Keep the bee away from the spiders flying all around you as long as you can.
I made it up to level 5-4 before the free demo ended with no problems whatsoever. Once you get that first bit untangled, it's smooth sailing the rest of the way. I know this sounds very confusing, it's not. I am NEVER good at this type of mini game but went through basically over 50 levels with no problem, sometimes it was even kind of boring because the bonuses would take over and do all the work - lol.
This isn't a purchase for me because I just don't care for this type of game, but I do encourage everyone to give it a try. Go ahead ... rescue those little bees .... you know you want to.
Happy Gaming.
I recommend this game!

I, personally, found the game to be just ok. It's a game of deductive reasoning. By using the clues given, you determine who or what goes in which "box/room" of the house. As you level up, there are more "boxes" or "rooms" in the house. If you look closely at the clues to the right of the house, there's no way you can get it wrong.
I got bored after 15 minutes and I leveled up each time and was rewarded with the same treats repeatedly and the same unfortunate events kept happening repeatedly. I was done.
Needless to say, this isn't a purchase for me, but I will recommend it for anyone who wants to find out about the unfortunate events.
Happy Gaming!

Not much has improved from the last game in this series. EXCEPT, it's supposed to be "match 3 or more" but it's nearly impossible to make a match of more than 3 because as soon as you have 3 linked the links disappear. So, theoretically, you could have a chain of 10 links in the making but as soon as 3 link up, they're gone. I really didn't care for that.
The music is fine, not annoying. The sound fx are okay as well. I just didn't care for the game play. I was bored. Nothing special re bonuses. It was just an ordinary game. I like my match 3 games to be a bit more than just ordinary.
This isn't a game for me but I will recommend it to beginners and especially to those who LOVE strategy because, again, this game is about strategy and speed.
Happy Gaming!

If you like games where you have to link pipes together than you will LOVE this game. You link chains to form 3 or more to fill up the meter. Once the meter is full, you level up.
There are charms you need to include in your links as well as bombs and portions of a special link shown on the bottom of your screen.
While it was fun and somewhat addicting, it IS a strategy game because you have to link those links quickly or, before you're even finished linking them, BOOM - your link has exploded. So, yeah, strategy and speed is definitely needed.
I enjoyed the game but am lousy at strategy games and am not so speedy anymore. For those reasons, this is not a buy for me but I do encourage everyone to give this unique spin on the pipe game a try.
Happy Gaming!

Nothing really fascinating or different here. Just another match 3 game. Match 3 or more items to destroy them off the board. The only bonus I saw was a bomb and I don't really know how that was earned.
You earn materials by making matches. Enough of each material and you can get blueprints for a building. After you get the blueprints you can then build. Then, on to the next building.
Getting blueprints is easy. All you do is play a mini game, which I though was more fun than the match 3 game. There were a variety that I came across during the game play. All fun. All easy. It does seem to take forever to get the resources to build.
All in all this would be a great game for a beginner or someone new to this genre of game. Experts or anyone who wants more of a story, faster game play, more bonuses - this game is definitely not for you. I just didn't get my personal "wow" factor so it's not a purchase for me.
I recommend this game!
