the new icon (match3 blow up all alike) is a dud. it is used to much in the game. it was more fun and difficult to match 5 or create and use bombs. I hope the developer doesn't use the new icon in the Spellarium series or Cursed House series.
This developer creates very challenging games that are a pleasure to play again and again.

first time through the game. scene Terrace Street missing sparkle area. ?????? Fun game like the first 2 games. Annoying asking to be rated all the time. once is enough.
I recommend this game!
Learn the wisdom of the ancients in this match-3 adventure!

there is no rhyme or reason to the "new" rising icons. you get them at a random time and place . can't figure out how to generate them, very poor help "non existant"!
The developer took a great game and ruined it with trying "new" raising icons. It is not like the LARAVILLE'S of the past.
the header says it all "It’s Match-3 like never before!"

An atmospheric and beautiful match-3 game that breaks the mold!

LGT SIA produced a Hit again. Challanging and fun at the same time. Only dislike was the GOAL of 10 coins again. Not 20 like it use to be. Can not wait for the other releases that LGT SIA produce
I recommend this game!
Embark on a daring rescue through time!

I tried the demo to see if I would like the game before purchase, but the game does not run properly on my setup. it played good, looks interesting and challenging but after fixing the fountain the HOP at the fountain would not run. The stratagy guide worked, but the HOP at the fountain would not.
I recommend you try the demo of the games you are thinking of purchasing to see if they run to your satisfaction.

The playful spirits of the Cursed House series are back with another round of spine-tingling match-3 puzzles!

Cursed house 11 has done it again. The fun factor is a complicated as hurding cats. Sure there may be less coins at times but you have to think what you are doing or you can work into a replay syndrome where you still can not get completed. A great job by the developers to really challange us to think before we react.
I recommend this game!
The Void army stretches its hungry arms towards innocent villagers. Harness the power of the elements to protect the kingdom and bring peace back to the land!

Good graphics and a good attempt at making a fun and challenging match 3 game, but the curser response is to slow to my liking.
Collect components, make magic potions and use supernatural abilities to fight evil in this hidden object thriller!

Downloaded the trial and from GameTop also. both games do NOT provide the cursor to select menu items. Time to review the Quality Controls at the developers.
I don't recommend this game.
Solve a series of devious puzzles to escape Arcana manor and uncover the dark secrets of the mysterious magician once lived there.

the Cabinets of Dr.Arcana are a total challenge that requires thought and memory. "Good notes is a MUST". Sometimes the pictures are not the best quality but they will suffice if you work hard and are dilligent.(phone pictures help).
Great work by the developers. An easily accessable map would make things to easy. don't change a thing....
