Ok so this game is decidedly NOT supercalifragilisticexpialidocious but, considering the offerings we've gotten here at BF lately, it's a pass-the-time game. The graphics are well-done, the colors are not over-saturated and, all in all, the visuals are very good. That being said, it's a super simplistic concept that's probably better geared for the younger set...considering what's gone on in the world the past 2 years, I think our days of exquisite HO/HOPA/HOG games are maybe a thing of the past. I'm wondering, with the latest shake-up at BF, if they also realize the big gamers are going online. I've been with BF since it's inception, have played a LOT of superb adventure/HO games (The Fool (my fav), Mystery Case Files, Hidden Expeditions, Paranormal Files, Puppet Shows, Haunted Hotels - I could go on and on) but now it seems I'll just be waiting for the latest Vacation Adventures, Cursed Houses, Spellariums and other resource collecting games to gobble up.
A mystery-filled ride to unknown cosmic shores!

I enjoyed this game! Not as easy as you would think. Always looking for something different...some of my favorites are Looking for Aliens, Varenje, My Brother Rabbit and Adera. This one was fun!
I recommend this game!
Get ready to meet your new best friends!

Kudos to the developer for making this new rendering of "I Love Finding More...." so challenging! This one definitely NOT breezing through, somewhat frustrating for my old eyes & using the magnifying glass WAY more than any of the other games. I LOVE IT! Great way to pass time, addictive (as always) and just plain fun finding all the doggos! Those morphing butterflies, though!
I recommend this game!

Imagine my excitement upon seeing a new Spellarium! I have them all, gives me hours if not days, weeks or even months of play & replay. They're all just a little different, enough to make you want to see what's new. The last one, Spellarium 7 was a challenge! The only thing I would ask for and miss in this edition is the morphing bomb tiles...I like that they gave you a choice as to which power-up to use. Sometimes, you just need a little lightning!
All in all, I recommend this one, though I'm only less than halfway through. I like that they give a choice of mahjong, find the difference, cards or puzzle at the start of each new building. And MAN those fit-together puzzles are CHALLENGING, but I am determined to finish each one!
I recommend this game!

I have purchased every Match Ventures game...my excitement rises seeing each new game and this was no exception. This is a match-3 game on steroids...LOTS to do, so many levels! This developer keeps it fresh with new twists for each new game, challenges you, makes you pay attention. I always play on 'Relaxed' mode...don't need the stress of beating the clock. If I had any improvement suggestions, it'd be a way to convert your accumulated gold into 'treats' for the donkey. Gems are few and far between. I might also suggest repairing all your castles/properties regularly. And don't forget your battles and caves! It has been my mission to complete all accepted quests, so stay sharp!
A global art heist and a series of natural disasters collide!

After having finishing Rescue 12 (I've got them all), I've been disappointed in this one. I am already up to Level 40 and keep expecting some of the challenge & excitement from the previous games, but it's just not happening. As always, there is a bit of challenge to collect necessary resources but having only 6 to 9 locations per level to build/collect from makes it a little easier to restart if you get stuck. Not real crazy about the collectibles but guess it'll make more sense when I get done with the game (?). Graphics/colors/gameplay flawless, as usual.
I do recommend this for passing time and/or if you have never played any Rescue games before...good one to "cut your teeth" on.
I recommend this game!
Follow a puzzle-solving wizard as he tries to use time itself to stop the world from decaying in this cosmic Match-3 strategy game!

What more can I say than it's Spellarium! Immediate buy...immediate play. I've got them all so far so this was a no-brainer. You cannot...I repeat CANNOT...go wrong with this game. Hours, days, weeks, months of play. If you've never played this series before, may I suggest you start with original Spellarium and work your way up...there are 6 before this one!! Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

Okay, so it's not rocket science - it's not meant to be - but I, for one, would like to THANK Domini for offering us a refreshing HO that isn't wizards, spooks, spells, dragons (you get my drift). I pretty much gave up on buying HOs several months ago because they've become so predictable...I bought this one right away and am thoroughly enjoying the gameplay! Your usual fare for HOs with twists, tasks to complete yet I'm not "plowed under" with puzzles that frustrate me. AND the big plus is Domini giving you Match 3 option on the HOs.
The graphics are beautifully done, locations are rich in color and detail, dialogues kept to the minimum and very captivatingly cute storyline. To say I'd like more kinds of these games is an understatement. I may be in the minority but I like this game!
I recommend this game!

Hello, my old friend! I've been waiting and waiting...IMMEDIATE buy! What can I say...I eagerly await ALL Vacation Adventures & Christmas Wonderlands! Just enough of a challenge to find everything on the list AND make sure I get my Wildlife, Recyclables and photos. Familiar yet still fun puzzles. I am never disappointed.
Only wish some of my other favorite games could have continued on like these have (I miss you, Weird Park).
I recommend this game!
