Such a gentle and fun game. It's nice to be able to just build and have fun without tearing hair out trying to beat the clock. There is a timer on this, but it is just challenging enough to make you think but without being so tricky that one gives up and doesn't bother. Okay, the story is a bit weak but it seems incidental anyway to the main point which is a cute game with cute graphics. If you are just looking to chill out with a building game you might like this. And it's nice to have a game without the dark and violent themes which seem to be so prevalent these days. Haven't enjoyed a building game so much since I did the Zellians about 3 years ago.
I recommend this game!

Absolutely loved this one. The art work was beautiful, the music was not annoying which is a major plus for me (I usually turn the music way down), the story was decent, the difficulty level was fine (not too hard but not so easy as to make it boring). The games were a nice mix of different challenges, the HOGs were clean and clear, no messing around in the dark for obscure things which one would never pick out in a million years! Loved the hints, didn't need them too often but when I did they were refreshing in that they made sense and were not cryptic. Nice maps which showed where you still needed to complete things. The length of the game was very satisfying, more than once I thought I was coming to the close of the game only to find a whole set of new locations. There is only one thing I can find to grip about, I was hoping that the country lane scene would be one of the wallpapers, and it was not. That scene would have done Thomas Kincade proud!
I recommend this game!

I only played the demo of this and by the time I got to the end, I was already getting bored. That's a shame because the idea of a part-HOG/part-match 3 really appeals to me and I was excited when I downloaded it. I played on the relaxed mode because going against clock irritates me, I like to take in the scenary! ;-) It's a shame, maybe someone could tweak this idea and come with something a little more dynamic.
I don't recommend this game.

Loved this game. Okay, it wasn't the most challenging, even on the hard setting, and the story line won't win any oscars for scripts genius, but for good old fashioned fun, it takes a lot of beating. I **loved** the idea of having choice between hidden object and match 3. Being able to do both greatly increased the fun variety factor. Also, it was a pretty decent length too. All in all, a thumbs up for this one.
I recommend this game!

This would have got 5 stars for me had it been longer. Nice graphics, decent storyline, 3 levels of skill, so suits everyone. But, it did need to be about 1/2 as long again.

Loved this game, beautiful graphics, some interesting changes to the usual hidden object games, nice to have a sci-fi feel to it. And then it ended too soon and very abruptly! Because of that I only give it a 3.
The way it ended points to there being a second game to follow, so I'd like to give a word of advice the game makers....this time make it a decent length. ;-)

Just finished playing this and it's the best game in a long while. Lots of variety, the hidden object games had nice graphics (I wasn't searching for objects which looked nothing like their decriptions, the storyline was basic but very nice, the overall graphics were very appealing.
