This game is just what I was looking for; relaxing but enough of a challenge to hold my attention. The animal and sea life graphics are very well done (even the snakes and rats are non-threatening looking, and so I think children might enjoy this game also). The music is varied, some of it is lovely. When the demo ended, I bought it immediately so I could continue playing!
I recommend this game!

It's a wonderful surprise to have another Jewel Match game to play so soon after Royale 2. L'Amour has a beautifully detailed theme and wonderful music. I've only played the demo, but will definitely buy this, as I do all Jewel Match Games. I love all of them (but also still hoping for a new one of their glorious Hidden Object Games).
I recommend this game!

This continuation of the romantic story of Matthew and Sofia is well done. Matthew never shrinks from the tasks set before him to secure a wonderful life and a new kingdom for his royal wife and their future family.
The graphics are stunning as always in the Jewel Match games. The game play is flawless, and the number of levels and minigames seem nearly endless!
I recommend this game!
Enjoy hours of fun playing your favorite minigames from Clutter in their own game!

So surprised and excited to see this new game from Puzzles by Joe and I’ve bought it already. I have every one of the Clutter Games Series and often replay them. The mini-games are all fun, but the sliders are my favorite. I love the music, and also the fact that you can choose what type of music you want to hear. How many games have that option? Thanks Joe! Looking forward to the next Clutter game.
I recommend this game!

This update of Jewel Match 2 is as beautiful and exciting as expected. I have all 7 games in the series, including my favorite from years ago, Jewel Match Winter Wonderland.
There are so many features in this update, and it’s filled with stunning jewels and lots of levels. If you’ve never played the Jewel Match games, try this demo and you may just find yourself looking up all the past ones to download and play! Lots of fun!
I recommend this game!

Others here have described pretty much everything about Runefall. So, my comment is only to say that this is a (happily) long, and forever replayable game, as well as an incredibly entertaining one. RUNEFALL for the win!

...and here it is. The graphics are beautiful with snow falling (which you can toggle off if you wish), and the snow in the outdoor scenes looks so realistic you want to make a snow angel!!
At the beginning, the familiar characters and the original farm layout from the first game make this almost like a homecoming, but changes are coming soon to Dahlia Farms. The voice-overs are excellent and the storyline is unique. There are even more things to do than in the first game, and again, it’s a really long game and one that can be played and enjoyed over and over. I love this game and I hope there will be a Farmington Tales 3 in the near future.

This is such a fun to play hidden object game, but there are also lots of other things to do in it besides the HOs. There are many different mini-games and puzzles; some are new and unique. You will find special quests to take on, sea ponies to care for, amusement park rides to restore, gems to gather and so much more -- too much to even tell. After playing it for hours and hours, I still keep discovering exciting new things!
The music, graphics and storyline are extremely well done. The voice-overs are excellent and it has this terrific feature that the dialogue can be set to automatic advance instead of "click to continue," and that makes for smooth game flow.
I loved the first Tales of Lagoona and now am so happy there is this great sequel!
I recommend this game!

If you liked the first Chronicles of Albian, you will love this game! It is beautifully crafted and is so entertaining with many surprising aspects to discover throughout the game.
In my opinion, the few negative reviews are not indicative of the game since most of them were after only 10 or 20 minutes of play, and that is not enough for a fair trial of a layered and complex game such as this game (or, in fact, most games).
The graphics are clear, the music is wonderful, the characters are fun and the voiceovers are outstanding. There is some interactivity in both the HOs and the storyline. One of my favorite things is finding the lovely gems scattered around in each scene. (Tip: Read the credits all the way through for a small surprise.)
This game is very long and has many bonus features. So try it for yourself and see just how delightful it truly is.
I recommend this game!

...than a game stuffed full with hidden objects, time management tasks, a wonderful selection of puzzles, a great storyline, quirky characters and lots of humor. The graphics are crisp, bright and lovely. The music changes from scene to scene, sometimes lively, sometimes relaxing. It’s a long game and there are a truly impressive number of extra little fun things to do in this game, but I’ll leave those for you to find for yourself! It’s a Super-Duper game!
I recommend this game!
