I usually like steam punk themed games. This one, not so much. The game play is stilted. The tutorial was so invasive I stopped the game started over and turned off the tutorial. The match three is basic and standard play, after the first 5 or ore levels it becomes more challenging. The music is repetitive and the characters voices and story is just strange and [to me at least] irritating. This was a not buy for me.
I have been really playing a lot of match 3 games recently and really wanted to like this one. The game is too slow. You cannot continue to match until the board is ready to let you, and the game plays a lot of itself. Just sit and watch the game play. This is not fun. The premise was good, had to find the fuzzy family. Colors are nice and the game boards are clear. If there was more interaction on the player's part and not the computer playing the game for you I would have liked this game. I played until level 15 and said enough and deleted.
Nice little game. Good colors, straight forward play. No surprises [except for Santa's sleigh does run through from time to time]. A good starter game for those just learning Match 3. A good game to use a free game coupon or maybe a BOGO. Will be on my "to buy later" list. Relaxing and liked the Christmas music while playing.
I like the occasional clutter game and this one is not one I would choose. I tried playing it twice thinking maybe it was me the first time I tried it. I made it into the game about 15 minutes and quit. So I tried again, nope still not for me.
First it is timed.
I do not like the 10 second objects move around thing.
I do not understand the star hint system. You collect these stars but they do not save and if you don't use them what was the point? And there are A LOT of stars. They get in the way of the objects.
The various types of clutter games are similar to others but there is no fun factor here.
I was happy to see mom finally got some new clothes LOL [also new hair] and new clothes for dad as well. The mall has been upgraded, but the same characters are still around.
I like the consistency even if a little trite. I did not see grandma and grandpa yet. I have found it odd in all of these games the grandpa is always the same man but there is always a different grandma. HMMM?
There is a blend of real people and cartoon figures throughout these games.
Music the same as the other games, not irritating and has some nice Christmas Carols.
Visuals are sharper than the previous games.
Mini games are good with some new ones.
The bonus to collect items and buy items similar to the previous games in this series.
I was not disappointed and will be spending my evening playing this latest installment.
I had stopped even playing the demos for the Dark Parable series. They had lost their charm. I am very happy that this game is a great addition to the series and a wonderful surprise.
Very well crafted, good and interesting storyline. Nice graphics. This game is reminiscent of the original series of Dark Parable. Try it and see what you think.
