I too love the Aldorlea games. This is a RPG game.
You get to customize your Characters, go on Quests, etc. These type of games aren't the kind you finish in an afternoon. You also have to figure things out for yourself, although there are clues. If you aren't into mapping and exploring, might not be for you. If you are . . ., it is a great choice.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars, is because of the Battle Mode. You cannot see the HPs of the opponents, so you have no idea how much damage is being done or what kind of attacks work well on each kind of opponent. It also makes it difficult to decide who to concentrate on attacking because you can't tell who is low on Hit Points. This equates to blindly attacking opponents for what seems like forever, while the Party gets the tar beat out of them.
This one subtle difference in this particular game, makes it a "no buy" for me.

If that doesn't bother you, please give it a try and decide for yourself. Aldorlea does make excellent, enjoyable games.
I don't recommend this game.
This Halloween, enjoy Halloween Riddles: Mysterious Griddlers – it's terribly exciting!

Good Game, But Grids TOO Small

This was a good game. Grids could be solved logically.
I have been spoiled by the many colors of some of the other Series
My only complaint is that the grids are way too small. You have this whole big screen and the grid is only in a small section of the middle. This makes it difficult to see. My tired old eyes don't need the strain. This also makes it harder to view relative to having only a single color
This is a "no go" for me
After the Smiths' naughty kitten gets carried away and accidentally damages the Christmas tree lights, it's up to you to return them to their former glory in this colorful mosaics puzzle game!

Auto fill-in on rows
Fun pictures
Bonuses available for those who choose to use them
Only item to note, as another Reviewer stated, is on the Numbered rows - a little hard to see the yellows and dark browns

I found the puzzles small and difficult to see. Not sure if it was the choice of the 2-tone colors or the size of the board or both
It was also difficult to follow the numbers on the top and side of the grid, as was stated by another reviewer. It did not cross off middle numbers unless both sides were "x'ed" out
Sorry, not for me
I don't recommend this game.

This is a fantastic game. Same as the Delicious Series, only with new characters in Snuggford.
Great graphics, cute storyline. I give the Controls an A minus though. Clicking on some of the triple click items such as the yarn balls, could be a bit better. The mice could also be a tad bit bigger.
One reviewer noted that it is impossible to get 3-Stars on some levels. It most certainly is not. I do agree that some can be challenging though. Tip: It is a matter of choosing the correct items for the day and then chaining effectively. Please don't give up. You will have to play some levels multiple times. Which you'll have to do to get the Trophies anyway.
Sooo happy to see another one of these. I love the Delicious Series and have replayed them over the years. All except the first one, but hey, let's give the Developers credit, as they have improved a great Series consistently over time and keep offering new ones for our enjoyment.
Thanks again!! Great job!!
I recommend this game!

As my title states, this is a breath of fresh air. It could be considered Clue in the 21st century :)
Gives multiple options for playing. Timed, untimed, easy, medium, hard, etc. Believe one option stated you could replay levels
Solve each crime using clues given. This is a logic game.
Truly enjoying it.
Hope more like it come along. Thank you!

Liked the selection of games. Just didn't like the "Match 3" mechanics. Having to drag the mouse across the tiles simply became too tedious for me.
Still, if that doesn't bother you, it is a fun game. It would probably be more fun for someone of intermediate or beginning skill levels vs expert players OR good for the kids
Give it a try and see what you think
I don't recommend this game.

Really enjoying this.
In reading other players' comments, I left the music on. Became monotonous to me after 20 puzzles, so I muted it.
The music at the Intro Page is very cool though

I don't mind the click & drag at all
The backgrounds are easy to distinguish from the pieces' colors. I'm only a quarter of the way through though
Took everyone's advice and am playing Untimed
Beautiful and colorful scenes. Relaxing and enjoyable play. I recommend this game

Great graphics, great storyline, great replay.
You will need to play a level one time, in most cases, to figure out what you need to do. I like the replay value of that.
Gold is attainable on all levels. A lot of bonus levels as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I recommend this game.

I've read other reviewer's comments and agree. I am an Expert TM player. I don't mind having to play a level again to figure out what is needed and then again to attain it. I like that challenge and replay.
When I hit Level 20, it became virtually impossible to attain Gold. I had to play some of the levels 6 or 7 times and then could still only attain Silver or Bronze on most. Got Gold on a few between 20 to 25+. There is simply toooooo much coming at you.
I have played every game in the Series and not counting this one, have enjoyed them immensely. While challenge is good, there comes a point when too much challenge kills enjoyment level. Since we all play for enjoyment, this game in the Series fails miserably.
I will say that the next two in the Series are very enjoyable, so please don't let this turn you off the Series completely.
Nice graphics, good storyline. Tutorials are a tad annoying, as they click up on the screen and block one's view of buildings and resources. Added note: in the earlier levels, if you do what the Tutorial tells you when it tells you, you cannot obtain Gold.
What a shame
I don't recommend this game.
