I quite liked the game initially as it has nice colours and was quite challenging. BUT. It kept telling me what to do. Where the fun and challenge in that. OK fine for the first game but it kept doing it. Dull.
I don't recommend this game.

Unfortunately I bought this before I realised you had to use hints and guesses to solve. Dreadful game and I do not recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

Its quite a nice variation on this type of game, which I enjoy. But its incredibly easy. I played for 30 mins without having to think or repeat a level. Bleeeug!
I don't recommend this game.

I used to really love this series. I like to play for gold and I like to be challenged. But if, after playing a dozen times, I'm struggling to get silver on every level I lose interest. I'm not sure why the last few games in the series escalated the difficulty level so high but I will certainly not punish myself by buying another.
I don't recommend this game.

I like these sort of games but I wish the devs would graduate them better, In this game hard and easy are all mixed up and there are way too many symmetrical ones. I loathe these because they are too simple. This game is OK because you do randomly get some challenging ones. I never use hints and I always keep going until I get gold. Otherwise whats the point>
I don't recommend this game.

I like these games where there is a good challenge. I find that even in the earlier versions of this series there were generally only a few grids that were hard enough to make me think. The rest are a bit easy, This one looks pretty but the addition of the colours make it pathetically simple to solve. I would much rather have a boring one that challenges me.

i really like this game and the others in the series. I like a game with challenge and have been frustrated with other series where the challenge is not there. it doesn't rely on lots of clicking either which is good. recommend the game and the previous 2.

I downloaded the sequel because I really liked the previous 2. But it is not timed which makes it really boring. Yes the amount of money goes down as time passes, but there is no pressure to find all the items on time and you have no way of knowing how much time has passed. Tedious. There should be an option.
I don't recommend this game.

No challenge in this one I'm afraid. Good story but the skill level required was very low.

I loved the first one in this series which provided a real challenge straight away. This one had only a couple of challenging scenarios. And it was quite short. It was also quite dull in comparison to the first one.
I don't recommend this game.
