I played the 1 hour trial and decided to purchase. Big mistake. Once I figured out that the hint button didn't actually give you any hints it actually took me 2 hours to complete the game - including the 1 hour trial. Way too many match 3 games to be included in the HOS list of games. If I wanted match 3 I would have checked that list of games to buy. Out of all the games I own I think I have about 1% match 3. Characters are very static - just stand there, no action. All dialogue is written, no actual talking. The owl doesn't do anything, just sits with the amulet, and the frog looks soooooo bored guarding the hint button. Doesn't even close his eyes when waiting for the hint to refill.
If your playing expertise is even a fraction above beginner I would not recommend this game.

It only took 40 minutes to play the trial game. I suppose it would be a decent enough game for the beginner HOG player. Story-line not too bad but didn't show enough of the game to find out if it got better. If the game had been a bit more challenging or interesting I had been intending to purchase it, but after the short trial game I changed my mind.
I don't recommend this game.

Purchased this game some time ago and only now decided to sit back and play it. Don't usually submit reviews but just had to for this game. Nothing on-screen to help navigate (menu etc.), everything you do is trial and error - spending way too long clicking around to find out what works and what doesn't. No 'hint' button, no instructions to tell you how to do anything, just hit buttons to find out what does what. Wish I'd never bought this game. If you want help with the game you have to shell out more money to buy the guide. Really needs a trial first instead of no trial, spend the money and find out it's not worth it.
I don't recommend this game.

I finished the preview in 37 minutes - not enough time or content to figure out if it's worth buying. I know you have to somewhat limit the amount of content in the free previews but 37 minutes (including a short break) is a bit too short. You don't get into the storyline sufficiently to decide if you want to try the full game. I won't be buying it.
I don't recommend this game.

Many spelling mistakes.
Example - Scisors should be scissors, peper should be pepper, dices should be dice (one is die, 2 are dice), acvarium should be aquarium, barell should be barrel, duspan should be dustpan, harpe should be harp, and the coffee pack was spelt cofee (where's the 2nd f? on the pack. And - what is a pint? Pint of what? Pint is a measurement, not a container unless you're talking about a pint bottle, pint glass. When I found it, it was a tankard (or a mug) Also, what is a golf crose? Again, when I found it, it was a golf club. Maybe you should think about doing some proof-reading and use the spell-check? If you had used the spell-check you would have found out it's an antenna, not an antena. And since when has a bird house been called a bird box? A box is used for storage or carrying an item, not a living space for any kind of creature.
These errors were found within the first 60 minutes. How many more are there to be found in the game?
Personally I think this game should be withdrawn and completely revamped before it is offered for sale again.

No instructions, long time for hints to refill, only got some of the puzzles through trial and error, skip button took ages to fill, can find better things to do with my time.
I don't recommend this game.

HO scenes not very challenging, just basic. Puzzles have NO instructions. Can take a while to figure out what you're supposed to do. A lot of it is just guesswork. Hints take SO long to refill. Even at a casual level there's nothing to show what you're supposed to do.
I don't recommend this game.

Definitely hidden. If you can't see it you can't find it. The hidden objects were exactly the same colour and texture of the background, no outlines, no definition at all. You would need a 50" screen to bring some of the stuff to a big enough size to be able to see it. I've played some poor games before but this one beats the rest hands down.
I don't recommend this game.

Ok for beginners - kindergarten level. No challenge. Have played other Mahjongg games with more interest/challenge. As one of the other reviewers noted - too many similarities between patterns on the tiles.
I don't recommend this game.
