Finally a game that's as beautiful to look at as it is to play! It's been a long dry spell of dark gloomy games and I haven't been interested in playing any of them. This game has it all! Story, beautiful graphics, morphing objects, hops, puzzle pieces to find, and on and on. An instant buy! Thank you for a great game.
I recommend this game!

From the creators of two of my all time favorite games, games that were played over and over again and stayed on my desktop for ages, comes a new keeper! Those games were Tales of Lagoona 2 and Jewel Quest 4. This is a nearly perfect match 3 game, with a repayable factor that makes it a real bargain. As other reviewers have stated, it's got all the right stuff, graphics, challenge, story, etc. Thank you developers!

Is this an ordinary murder case, or something more sinister?

I love this series, and this one follows the style of the previous games. Great story line, graphics have a HD comic feel, perfect for the setting. Music appropriate, voice overs well done, collectibles, morphing objects, and for me, the delicious bonus of being set in the real world with grown ups! Not a fairy or witch in sight! Bought after only 10 minutes of the trial!
I recommend this game!

If you love the Park Ranger games you'll love this one too. I bought it without a trial and it was a good buy. I was so happy to see number 4, and if they follow right on it's heels with a number 5, I'd but that one too! Relaxing, happy game. We need more happy games with themes that are uplifting. Are you listening developers?

Tomorrow our president is making an historic trip to Cuba! What a perfect time to bring this game out. Some reviewers have found this game to be "boring"??? Really? While not on the level of some of the previous Cadenza releases, it's far from boring, and I'm finding it fascinating and fun. I love the sounds in these games, and the story is gripping. Police! Nightclubs! Beautiful women! Music! Suspense! Try it!

It only took a few minutes of the demo to know "I want this game". It's the story. While haunting and somewhat sad, there's a lot going on here. Who is that man in the mist? Where is our intrepid heroine going on her journey to find answers? I want to know. Add great graphics, well constructed puzzles and HOS, morphing objects and collectibles and I'm set for my weekend adventure!

This edition of Imperial Island is as delightful as the first. The second edition fell flat and I was hoping the developers would return to the whimsical magic that made this one of my all-time favorite match three games And they have not disappointed! Hours of match three delight await, with beautiful graphics and sound, a great story line, and engaging characters. Enjoy!

I know I'm late in discovering this game, but I'm so glad I did. It reminds me of the first adventure games I played where I just wanted to see what was around the corner. I wish we had more Scyfi themed games! I read the positive reviews first, and in this case they were right on. I even love the music! As far as I'm concerned, this is a great game and thank you developers.

After just a few minutes of the trial I knew this game is a must have. The puzzles are perfect, graphics, while not the best, are just fine, the HOPs are interesting, and there are collectibles (including morphs), but it's the story that I find fascinating. Like The Spear of Destiny from this week, the story line is one I have not seen before. Golems are a part of ancient myth and I hope we don't end up just blowing them up! I want to find out what their fate is, and the fate of their creator.
I recommend this game!
As an agent of the Alliance, you’ve been given a mission to destroy an ancient artifact known as the Spear of Destiny. In the wrong hands, it could help conquer the world.

This is a wonderful game. It's refreshing to find a SE that's chock full of extras AND has an original story line. I don't think I've ever come across a WWII themed casual game before. The graphics are great, good voice overs, tension, action, and we have to think for a change! No SG means use the old noggin, and I can do that. I'm enjoying this game so much, I want it to last a long time! Thank you developers for something as good as this. I look forward to more games like this.
