This game has more depth than the average match 3. On the surface it appears quite ordinary and boring, If you read the directions you'll find that different combinations of power-ups cause unique effects that will help you achieve 3 stars. The game allows you to replay earlier levels with your new powers, and has timed, moves, and relaxed modes.
The graphics are great, it has a real story line, and you can click at top speed with no problems. A great and more challenging match 3.

I enjoy clutter games but this one has a lot to overcome. When the cursor is not responsive the whole game becomes frustrating. My clicks were often too fast to register properly. The clutter is presented by a few items repeated many times and with the same color schemes. This makes it look more like a mashup of red and gold to me rather than identifiable things. Lastly, the perky music was very cute, but only for the first few minutes. Then it became repetitive and annoying. Compared to other clutter games out there, this one is towards the bottom of the list.
I don't recommend this game.

From the opening scenes, this game is Laugh Out Loud. This retro style game is creative, intelligent and funny as heck. Excellent dialogue and great graphics give this old point and click style a refreshing makeover. The game so far is challenging without being impossible. The humor is very clever with nods to many comedies as well as references to various books and movies. Don't skip the intro and cutscenes, just watch them carefully for even more laughs.
I recommend this game!

Really, don't bother. I play all of them. I love TM games. Some are super fast and simple and some I can't always finish, but I love them all, till now. It is hard to believe this was released last year. It runs like a very old, slow game. Don't believe it is that bad? Try it yourself. hahaha.
I don't recommend this game.

As others noted, yes, you do sometimes have to wait for all the drops to happen, but there is more to this game than speed. Each level has different goals. You need to collect fruit, clear different areas, or conquer certain monsters.
I played with limited time. This was sometimes challenging, but fun. I never had to repeat a level all day just to pass it, but some levels took 8 - 10 tries. Strategy was definitely needed. Sometimes the creative use of earned power-ups or board bombs was all that stood between me and victory.
If you prefer, you can also play with limited moves or in casual mode.
I started out thinking I might have a free hour of play on a time waster. I ended up buying the game! The first levels are pretty easy. Play to the end of the trial to get a good feel for it. You might be surprised.

If you like bouncing light rays off of mirrors or prisms you'll love this. One of the best of the rare genre. I've had this game for a few years and periodically take it out and replay it. User written levels are also available.
I recommend this game!

First the bad news. I played this through in only 6 hours and that included breaks for lunch shower, etc, etc. However, I'm a musician with with a good sense of spatial relations and I still found in interesting, fun and challenging.
The unique combination of shape, music and HO puzzles is like nothing I've ever encountered. I loved every minute of it.
I recommend this game!

The first half is more adventure like. I prefer realism and in te first half more things make sense. Half way through the game it changes to a "lead you by the nose" style. Illogical things sometimes will have you clicking around. for example, hidden in a snuff box is a battery. This little battery goes in the dashboard of a crane, but now it is 1/4 size of the dashboard. even odder yet, it powers the whole 3+ story high crane. the story line is ok and the hidden object scenes are the one at a time kind. find one item use it in a way to discover the next item etc. Other puzzles are all on the easy side. Light entertainment, but nothing special.
I recommend this game!
