I usually buy Magnusoft match 3 games without even trying the demo first. I'm so glad I didn't do that this time. The game is slow and CLUNKY, confusing, and difficult to navigate.
Since Big Fish seems to offer very few match 3 games I may end up buying it, but not sure at this point.
The "storyline" is inane and NOT at all worth the amount of time it takes to skip through it.

If you're familiar with this developer, rest assured they have done their usual outstanding job in developing this game. One NEW OPTION that I particularly enjoy is that you can choose to NOT be bothered clicking through multiple "story" pages between boards. I've always hated that feature. Does anyone really read or like them? I can't imagine that they. do.
Yes, by all means, if you are a fan get this game!

If you enjoy this developer's games there is no need to check it out first. Just go ahead and buy it. You'll love it as much as you did other games by them. The game combines M3, puzzles, and strategy all in one game as previous games did. Hours of fun.
I recommend this game!

Why do they release a Collectors Edition First?

Why does this developer release a Collectors Edition and then a couple of weeks later release a regular edition of the same game? And even worse, why does Big Fish allow them to do this without warning customers?
Unfortunately, I wasted some points "buying" this edition also.
.I'm very disappointed that this ripoff occurred. Wish I could get my points back.

Maybe the worst IDEA ever for a COMPUTER game. It MIGHT be ok for those addicted to their phones for playing games. For people that ONLY use their PC for games, it's a TOTAL LOSER.
No way to adjust for a windowed screen. The STORYLINE is impossible to avoid and a total waste of time. Uses ANCIENT arrow moves similar to the old Mario games.
Definitely a no for me and I do NOT recommend this game.
It's been ages since BF has given us a new Match 3 or marble popper game. It seems that the main game type has become Hidden Object or Time Management, neither of which I ever purchase. My points keep building up. Beginning to think it's time to leave BF behind. I hate paying a monthly fee to belong to this loser of a game site.

Nice looking enough game, But as with most of these games to many dialogs that have to be clicked through before moving to the next level. I would have liked to purchase the game, but since there is no window mode available I deleted it.
I don't recommend this game.

This developer continues to amaze and entertain me with the Cursed House series of games. I have ALL of their previous games and bought this one after about 5 minutes of playing it. They always come up with some new and interesting twists with each game. I download the game just to get a quick look at the first couple of boards but there is never any question that I will purchase it. Go for it!!! If you are a M3 enthusiast, this one will test your mettle for sure.HAVE FUN!!
I recommend this game!

I find these games quite challenging to play with a fresh approach to the typical M3 genre. Learning how to make matches to advance through the levels is a challenge that we don't see in the typical M3 game.
The one thing I HATE about it is the insipid "storyline" that there is no way to turn off. I've never understood why developers feel they have to attach these stories to their games. None of them are worth the time to read or click through. It would be GREAT if they would give us the option to turn them off.

Is this a great game - YES.
What I REALLY dislike is that they released a "Collectors Edition" of this game less than a month ago!!! I bought that and LOVE it. This developer is one of the VERY BEST at M3 games and I always buy them. But I REALLY RESENT that they release a standard version less than a month after releasing the same game in a "Collectors Edition.
The game and the play is the same with a few additional scenes or whatever in the pricier edition. From now on I'll just wait for the standard edition. IMHO, the "Collectors Edition" is a royal ripoff.
