I was actually excited to play this game. I love puzzle games. However, it is slow, slow, slow, beyond slow. Unbelievably slow. Watching paint dry slow. I'm hoping the slowness is a glitch and at some point I'll be able to play this game without wanting to shout at it to hurry up.
If they can fix the slowness of it I would love this game.

I played 5 levels, that's all I could take. The sheer amount of time waiting for a piece to move or the next level to begin was agonizing.
I like the over all concept and would probably have bought it but not with the slow lag time. Click a piece wait ages for it to light up and then click the other piece and then wait an interminable length of time for it to move. Very frustrating just waiting for the game to move things.
Also I couldn't load the menu and had to use the esc key to exit the game. The sound button also would not work. This game has some serious issues, fix them and I'd be happy to buy this. I think it would make an excellent brain teaser type game.
Mostly I am shocked this game even made to market without anyone suggesting there are serious issues.

While I have continued to play this game more than once it is more due to my familiarity to it and the match 3 aspect.
I hate that we're given absolutely no choice as to what to buy to improve the jewelry shop. The things that are bought to improve the shop are nothing great or interesting.
The music drove me mental and the ching ching of the jewels can be a bit torturous.
Mainly I play it again cause the actual match 3 aspect is great. I do like being able to choose between relaxed, timed, or moves.
I don't recommend it if you are looking for something like Farmscape or Mansion Makeover.
But for a good match 3 it is great...just turn off the sound...

A puzzle fantasy, inspired by the classic word search game.

I liked the basic Boggle type game. Hated the whole story attack theme didn't bother to read any of the pages.
I appreciated the power aspect but basically kept using the same two.
Every now and then it would freeze and I would have to exit the game.
I loved the timed word aspect that is the best part the rest...was just getting in my way of playing.

I didn't even play one single game. The cursor was slow and awkward with no option to have no game cursor. I usually don't use the game cursor unless I have no other choice. i find they are almost always too big or not precise enough for most games. But this giant hand was just ridiculous and the movement was lurchy and unresponsive.
I'm glad I did the demo first.
Hated the start up music as well...seriously annoying.

Every time I play and replay this game I get completely absorbed in the game. Unlike other restaurant type time management games where you end up at this frenetic pace trying to keep up with orders this game allows you to seat the people and then have your waiters do the serving and the chefs do the cooking. I love this game I wish they would come out with a Bistro Boulevard 2.
I've never liked the Dash games because they are too frenetic and I find I cannot keep up with the demands. This is perfect. I get to figure out what to buy and how many, choose which recipes I need to learn and upgrade my staff.
I whole heartedly recommend this game!
