I was disappointed by this game. It is just a knockoff of Mansion Makeover. It is fun, but rather easy--I finished at least half of the game in the 60 minute trial. Also, the makeover part is a let down--the graphics are sketchy, sort of like a poor photoshop job, and the decorating options make for a pretty ugly room, regardless of how carefully you try to match. I wasn't interested enough to buy it, but I can see how it would be fun for most people.
I love Gardenscapes and Mansion Makeover, so you'd think I'd like this game, but it is such an obvious knock-off, it's disgusting that the developer got away with it. To top that off, it is poorly made with mediocre graphics and a poorly written storyline full of grammatical errors that are insulting to the developers of the Gardenscapes franchise. The game play was fine, but I couldn't get over the poor execution and borderline plagiarism enough to enjoy the game. I don't recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

I love this game. Even though it is a matching game, it requires you to think ahead. There isn't much to the storyline, but the game play is so addicting, that the storyline didn't matter much to me. I like to play on the casual mode--it's very zen and relaxing if you just want to kill some time at the end of a stressful day.
I recommend this game!

It's been a while since I played this game, but I remember really enjoying it. It had a cute storyline and interesting quests, but I remember getting a little frustrated with the repetition of some of the tasks. The graphics were great, though. It's a nice game for older kids who can read some, or for older and younger siblings to play together
This is the first RPG I've played on PC, and now I can't believe I waited so long. The storyline is intriguing, and the characters, especially Claret (the main character), are engaging. The story and art remind me of japanese anime, but that's a good thing. :) The gameplay is very similar to the old Nintendo RPGs (think original Final Fantasy and Ultima games), so playing this reminds me of my childhood. ;) Overall, I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the old school style "quest to save the world" games. I'm looking forward to finishing this one and trying some of the other RPGs Big Fish offers!

This game was okay, but I didn't love it. The gameplay was good and challenging enough that I had to do some of the levels over to get a gold score, but the storyline was pretty lame, and I had no desire to play it again after I finished it the first time. If you are looking for a game that has an intriguing story or one that you can play many times, this isn't the game for you.
