Why do M3 developers insist on a long boring story?

Very much resembles all other M3 games by this developer. A bit slow because of the TOTALLY BORING storyline that has to be skipped as you move from level to level. The introduction is much to long and boring before you can start the game.
Play is usual with a couple of new aspects but not terribly challenging. This developer is OK, but lacking in presenting challenges that are standard with the better developers of these games.
I recommend this game!

This is NOT a marble popper game. However, it IS a new concept in gaming for me. Challenging and fun to play. beautiful graphics and a brain teaser in many ways. The "story" is LOOOOOONG and boring and you can't skip it. The gameplay can be a bit slow on some windows. BUT, well worth the cost and will provide many hours of fun to gamers.
I recommend this game!

Certainly no comparison to any Jewel Match game. Simple, boring "storyline" that must be skipped. SLOW play and not challenging. It would be OK for a NEW player, but certainly not interesting to an experienced M3 player.
I don't recommend this game.

You don't even need to play the 60-minute tryout. Just go ahead and buy it Suricate never lets us down. Came up with new twists from the very first level. LOVE this game. It's so much fun I had a hard time stopping playing. The adventure just goes on with new twists and turns at every level.
I recommend this game!

DO NOT BUY.

I got the trial version just to verify that the game adhered to the usual excellence we see from this developer. OF COURSE, it was as good as always. A few new wrinkles to keep it even more interesting. I have every one of these games and there's not a bad one in the group.
I recommend this game!

Once you've played any Gaslamp Game, you've seen them all. For all practical purposes, you can save your money and replay the game you already have. Nothing new here to challenge you.

If you happen to be a YOUNG grade-schooler, perhaps 2nd or 3rd grade it might be fun. It IS a match game in that you have to click on two matching items to remove them from the board. Slow and cumbersome at best. In addition, it has no window mode which would make it a NO for me. But even then I don't recommend it for any but the youngest and least able players.
I don't recommend this game.

I have all of the games in this series and really enjoy playing them EXCEPT for very annoying hints and storyline in between every board. If these were removed it would be PERFECT. Or if they could be turned off to save me clicking through and ignoring them.
I recommend this game!

The match part of the game is quite simple and fun to play but not really much of a challenge at all. The mini-games between match games aren't very good. The jigsaw puzzles are lifeless and colorless, pieces jump too far to the place they belong. The ones to spot differences are lackluster and not colorful at all. Plus those do NOT show how many differences you need to find and a couple of times I skipped after being unable to find any more missing pieces to find that there was ONE more I missed. For a casual few minutes at a time I think it was worth the reduced price but wouldn't have paid full price for it.
I don't recommend this game.
