The various modes make this very replayable. The gameplay environment is excellent, both as to sounds and as to graphics which are fun and don't grate on one's ears or eyeballs. After a while I ignored decorating the house, and just played the match-3 boards. Relaxing (- I avoided the timed modes ;-)...).
I recommend this game!

This is a solitaire card game, not a match-3 game. I played the demo hour. I generally play a solitaire game like this when I have a headache, so I'm hypersensitive to too much contrast, and sound environment, and sparkly things - and for that, everything seemed a bit off. Otherwise, I like the colorful and whimsical graphics environment. The solitaire gameplay is pretty decent, with some of the usual power-ups. And there was a HO scene during the demo hour that was fine.
I recommend this game!

I've played through all of both Quadrium and Quadrium II, and demoed ClearIt 2 before trying this demo.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the 3 game variations, and also that there are *3* layers of balls visible along the sides; rather than 2, like the other games. The Arcade mode scrolls upward, but doesn't end or keep track of pieces that scroll on past the gameplay area. The Expert mode has more colors in it.
I also saw some different power-ups - some that allow you to delete 1 or 5 game pieces *of your choice* from off the board.
As to the graphics, the game pieces are squarish in this one, which seems a bit of an improvement in style. I find the ClearIt series sounds and music quality to be pretty bad, and this one is the same. It's for that reason, I'm not sure about buying it myself - I really do like a nice sound environment with my games.
Is it fun? I think you'll have to try it for yourself :-).
I recommend this game!

The mechanics of it and graphics seem to work fine. Maybe it gets better further on in the game, but the trial was boring. There are goals to build, like, 6 cottages, and there are 6 lots to build on, so you have to build and later demolish a sawmill and a marketplace, making sure you have enough food and wood to build the cottage and meet whatever other goals you have. The other sources of food and wood don't grow back, so demolishing the sawmill and marketplace seems counterintuitive, when there's nothing else going on.
If you are thinking about trying this game, maybe look for reviews of the *whole* game...

Relaxed but challenging. I'm past level 100 without spending any money, so doesn't feel like one of *those* games. Nice music and pleasant graphics.

This is a game type I've only seen once before, and have been wishing for more of: It's World Mosaics, but with more than one color to fill in. You sometimes have to switch back and forth between the colors to figure it out. Has quite a bit of instruction/tutorial at the beginning to help you know how to play.
I've played quite a bit, but no prompting to buy anything so far.
Story is new, music is from World Mosaics. Similar type of story - weird and chasing a villain around the world - but oddly compelling at least.
I recommend this game!

This one is similar to the other hidden object Free-to-Play games, but is not energy-limited like the rest -- this one puts a timer on each hidden object scene instead, which I think I prefer. Also, I didn't see any timed enhancement objects to remember to use - can just jump in and play. It just feels more relaxed to me than the others.
I very much like the graphics, and the sense of exploring an area, rather than just jumping to a scene. I like the sound environment, too.
I recommend this game!

Charming, whimsical, beautiful, peaceful, interesting swap match-3 gameplay. Relaxed or timed.
Doesn't give me that "been there, played that" feeling, although not that much different from most. This one is mostly about making matches adjacent to coins and obstacles to remove them. Creating power-ups by making large matches is useful and sometimes necessary to reach coins not otherwise obtainable. So in some ways it's a bit similar to Bejeweled 3's Diamond Mine mode that I've been hooked on lately - in a more peaceful and beautiful game setting.
I recommend this game!

Quest mode adds lots of interesting match-3 variations.
I'm addicted to the Diamond Mine mode that unlocks. Although it's rather simplistic, it's a different challenge.
I haven't been much of a fan of this game series in the past, mostly preferring games where you break or change color of background tiles, but this one is a winner in my book.
I recommend this game!
