You can only make bomb, rockets, etc. in specific but unmarked rows. It takes too long to find that row and then to get a match of four proper tokens (bomb, rocket, etc.) That is not a challenge. It is tedious. I would not recommend this version.
The style is very old. You cannot customize the speed of the hint recharge or the skip game timer. You cannot turn off the voices. The play is very slow.
Every level requires creating rockets or exploding balloons to achieve the level's goal. I also dislike the patronizing comments of the Philosopher Ghost. I bought the game based on the other reviews. If Laruaville 15 is anything like this one, then Laruaville 14 will be my last purchase in this series.
Favorite Genre(s):Hidden Object, Strategy, Time Management

Wow! Being able to customize the game play has become the norm. This game does not allow it. It feels like a remake of the a game from the 1990s. I would not recommend it an experienced gamer.
I didn't make it past the opening scene. I got frustrated with every item being explained to me by the character. This may be OK with a novice player. However, experienced HOG players will soon tire of the unnecessary diaglogue.
