First of all, the developers really made some improvements on the game. For instance the pictures are larger then with previous games in this series. I also like that you can ajust almost anything in this game. However I am not going to buy this game, because of the annoying lightflash everytime you put a jigsaw piece in place. I couldn't play more than 2 levels in a row, because of that. It is a pity, because otherwise it really is a great game.
Yes the main game is the same as in previous JMs, though I find it easier to get 3 stars on a level. But there is a lot going on on the side: -A fishmanager where you can choose what fishes you'd like to swim around your castle (a bit like Fishdom) -Supersize levels -Challenge levels where you have to perform certain tasks to win and where you can earn new fishes to add to your collection -Mahjong bonus levels -Solitaire variations which you can unlock with the stars you earn during the mainplay. JM offers hours and hours of cardplaying fun and -as always- beautiful castles to build. Enjoy!

Nothing much has changed since the previous Park Ranger, but to me that is a good thing, because I like the Vacation Adventures just the way they are: a tad oldfashioned, but very wellmade. A lovely escape in these hard days!
I bought the first Cave Quest in 2011 and I had a lot of fun with it playing it several times through the years. So I downloaded this sequel right away, prepared to be disappointed, because too often a sequel has nothing to do with what made the previous game so attractive. But this game really delivers the same fun as the first game! It offers the same mix of adventure and match3, both very well done. So I understand perfectly well this can be a CE, although I thus far only played the demo, I decided to buy it/
I very much enjoyed playing this game. There are four different game modes you will unlock while playing the adventure mode. I like the achievements, it gives the game something extra after finishing the main adventure. LOL: Watching the credits I discovered that this is the same gamedeveloper as Gizmoz, one of my all time favourites.

YES, YES, YES! Finally a real nonogram game, where you actually have to think to solve the grids! In one of the first levels I already had to use my logic and deductive skills to solve it. This game is probably not for the pinquin lovers, it is a game for thinkers and puzzlers. It is mono coloured, which adds to the puzzle value. I played and replayed the previous Gizmos games, time and time again, so for me this is a definite buy!

I really wanted to like this game, because it is made by one of my favourite developers: Suricate. But although the scenery is very beautiful, the gameplay itself is way to easy, which is always the case with multicoloured nonogram games where the entire grid has to be filled. You don't need any deductive skills for this, it is just like a colouring book. For me there is no fun in this.The only really hard nonograms are the Gizmos in my opinion.
I like this type of deductive puzzle game. It is pretty much the same game as Inspector Parker. I gave this game only 3 stars because even with the white circle around the active clue, it was very hard to see wich one was active because some clues looked very much alike. Also there are no options to choose between difficulties like in Inspector Parker. I would for instance have liked some larger boards and more challenge.

Wow what a game! Though it gets very challenging later on in the game, it is never frustrating. I very much liked the new puzzels with the funny hearts, but also the golden oldies never seem to loose their charm. I also liked the story, it made me want to play CLutter IV and V again. Certainly this game has the "Joe-ness" in it, wich gives these games their magic! Keep 'em coming Joe!

A lot is customizable in this cardgame. The difficulty, how much jokers, cardbacks etc, but also if you want to play higher/lower or match 2 or 14. Every tenth level is a battle cardgame, wich I thought was fun and a nice variation. It is a pity that Misty-eyed posted a review without even playing the game, because there are 22 main levels each containing 10 sub levels, so this game is lengthy enough.
