I played Spellarium and enjoyed it. I thought I would try this and I love it. I took a while to learn how to play it because it is harder than the different Spellariums. It is fun, challenging and I will play it several times before I tire of it. I jumped right in at level 9 and it may be easier if you progress through lower levels. There are many different scenes to navigate with different problems to solve to complete the level. There is a good book of explanations that comes with it and it made more sense to me once I got involved with the game. It will also light up with hints if you get lost in matching tiles and miss what to do next. I say go for it!
I recommend this game!

There is nothing fun about this game. The characters are not fun or funny except for the fact they are all legs. The tasks are boring and only occasionally require building on each other. There is little variation from level to level except what you collect. I got this as a BOGO and regret my choice. I have not finished the game and will not. It is boring and pointless. Even if it were free I would not recommend it.

I have played most levels of Spellarium. I love this game and you can play it over and over because there are so many levels and challenges. My favorite was Spellarium 8. It still had 20 coins and many challenges. While Spellarium 10 is fun, it is not as challenging as 8 was and just seems too easy. There are only 10 coins instead of twenty and there are not many situations you have to figure out or need to replay. That said, it is still fun and I don't regret buying it. I just like version 8 better.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed playing this game. There are several levels that recycle as the games progress but when you return the challenges are different. My only reason for making it a 4 star was simply that the graphics are monotone shades of brown and some items are very hard to see. I hate having to use the hint button but some of my very careful searches were not obvious unless i gave up and hit hint. The graphics are well drawn, just some were hard to see. Each level requires that you collect a certain number of items before you move on.
I recommend this game!

I like TM games that I can play off the clock. This is one of those games. Everything is well drawn and easy to see. You do tasks that build on each other to accomplish bigger tasks. There is always something to do. Sometimes the answer is obvious and sometimes you just have to keep solving challenges until the solution pops up. This is not a terribly hard game (without time limit) but still fun for me. As you progress through the levels they become more complex. If you are a hard core, expert gamer there isn't much here you would enjoy. But if you are a casual gamer I think you would like this.
I recommend this game!

I have played all the Hero series so far. I understood how to do everything from experience so there wasn't much of a challenge to accomplish what needed to be done. Muriel the dragon was mentioned in the first scene or two and then nothing. Nothing was particularly hard to do or find. The biggest challenge I had was trying to remember where I saw something or what access to use. I have replayed all the games in the series many times and this one is not enough fun to replay. I was very disappointed it ended so quickly and was so short compared to the other Heroes. Sorry guys, this is a thumbs down from me.
I don't recommend this game.

I tried to like this game. Parts of it were fun. There are 3 sub games besides the main game. One of the subgames gives you 5 or 6 letters and you have to form words using all the letters. Another gives you several letters and you make as many words as you can find. I never got to the third level because I lost interest.
The main game is the pyramid. You start with a long word 8 or 9 characters and a vague definition. The clue might say something like "house". That can cover anything loosely associated with a house. It could be bathtub or birdhouse. You have clues you earn as you solve puzzles but the good ones are somewhat scarce. You have a fresh alphabet to choose from with each new word. Each new word is one space shorter than the previous word until you get up to a three letter word. Then you start a new pyramid. Some of the answers were words totally unfamiliar to me.
I bought this game but only played about 3/4 of the map. I just didn't really enjoy it. It is well made with no glitches. I just did not have fun with it.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a game of scanning and aligning pixels (dots). Mostly the puzzles are rather quick and easy once you catch on how to play. A few of them are somewhat difficult. There are finished pictures of many different things. There are some geometric patterns that can be more challenging. There are a lot of puzzles to solve and at the end you can insert some of your .jpg files and scramble them. It's one of those games that you can play over and over because most of the puzzles are unrecognizable when you start them. You are working blind because you do not have a picture ahead of time except a thumbnail on the start menu. When you solve the first one of the session you can get a peek then you are on your own.
I enjoy it simply because it is not overly challenging and I can play for a while and relax. You either will appreciate it or not. Play the trial and you will know if it is something for you.
I recommend this game!

I like this game but it is frustrating to play. I have all the Hero games so this is the latest in my collection. I took a while to figure out how things work because they changed the format a little. My frustration came from the fact that once you collect a resource it does not reoccur. You sometimes have to sell some resources to get money to continue and if you guess wrong or sell too much of a resource you are out of luck if you need more. It seemed like I was always out of money or sleep. And I couldn't always go collect some more high value goods. I played this through a few times because of the learning curve but still like Hero 3 the best. This game is relatively short and ends rather abruptly for my liking..
I recommend this game!

I am an experienced gamer and have been with Big Fish almost since their beginning. I have played the two earlier versions in this series of games and enjoyed them, even replayed them. It seems like this game was rushed to production because I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to play it and threw in the towel. I searched all the clues and instructions available and never really caught on how to play it. I knew what I was supposed to do but it never came together for me. Sorry folks but this is a bomb and needs improvement to be playable.
I don't recommend this game.
