Game has two modes. I will review both based on 1 hour of play since I am still on the fence about buying.
Fill-a-Pix
I found this extremely difficult. It reminds me of the old-time Windows game Minefield. You need to figure out which squares are which color. Some squares will have a colored number which tells you how many squares should be that color.
The tutorial was useful and clear. You get three hints, but I found them as confusing as useful.
There was a lot of selecting required to change colors and I have not found an easy way to change from one color to another without X'ing out the square first.
I think many will find this challenging.

The other option works just like the Mosaic games we are used to. Nothing new here.
I am very glad I knew how to play already since the Tutorial was confusing and some of it made no sense at all! There was no way to skip it.

I have all the other World Mosaic games and love them. I lasted about 5 minutes with this one. Even for free, I won't play this.
I almost did not try it, since I do not care for FTP games and will not spend any money beyond the initial cost of any game. But since I loved the other WM games so much, I had to at least try.
I should have known better. No way to skip the tutorial? How stupid is that - especially for the 8th version of a game.
I don't recommend this game.

I played all the Awakening games and loved them but I lasted about 5 minutes with this one.
The graphics are gorgeous - too bad things keep popping up and won't let you enjoy them.
I have yet to find a FTP game I liked.

The first two Azada games were wonderful - the 3rd, not so much. But this one goes off in a different direction.
This is just another run of the mill HOS adventure. The mini games are a little different, but some are ridiculously easy.
The graphics are very pretty and the creatures nicely done. The Azada stories have always seemed a bit thin to me, this one is no different.
I found the 'pet' to be highly annoying - popping up and squeaking and begging me to buy him clothes. I would have liked to be able to turn him off.
I read one review that said the Strategy Guide would be needed and not to get the SE version. I found the hint provided plenty of help. Has anyone noticed that games seem to be getting easier?
In any case - if you are hoping for another real Azada experience, pass this one by or use a coupon. I would have given this a 2.5 rating if I could.
I don't recommend this game.

Very Different Match Three - but too short

I rarely review games. But a different Match Three does not happen very often.
Kudos to the devs for being inventive. Every board has a different goal. The cursor moved very smoothly and you could make matches while the pieces were falling.
This story was simplistic but sweet as were the graphics.
The drawback was the adventure game was very short and not very challenging. On the other hand, I think the Challenge game may be extremely difficult.
If you like Match 3, do not let this one go by without trying.

It's a great game for a beginner but way, WAY easier that the first one.
I played that for weeks before beating it - sometimes having to play a level many times (15-20) before getting past it.
This game I'm past 70 levels, have all the keys and am on the last leg and have only lost 4 levels.
I suppose it depends what enchantments you use.
I certainly recommend it, but not for those who want a challenge.

The best I can say is the colors were bright and cheerful.
The compass was just plain silly. So was having to click through chat to get back try a puzzle again.
I lasted 5 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.
