Had fun playing this. It really should provide more direction for those not familiar with this type of game. I finished it in the free 60 minutes but if I had bought it I would be a little ticked off. Once you find the 100 hearts you are done. It gives you the option to reset but is it the exact game repeated? They don't say in the game description nor do other reviewers mention it.
Based on that unknown info, I won't recommend buying this game at this time, only playing he demo. Unless you have a lot of credits and don't care about wasting them.
TIP: click on all the question marks, most have a clue for hidden hearts
I don't recommend this game.

This Christmas game is always a favorite here on BF. I enjoy it so much it seems to finish faster than other games. Most of the scenes are wonderful to look at and most of the music is pleasant to listen to.
I will always give this game 5 stars. However there are things that I feel for me personally could use some improvement
.
*The version of "Jolly Ole St. Nicholas" is like nails on a chalkboard. The woman just can't sing. Please find a different version sung by someone else (I complain about his every time they use it)
*Some of the scenes are too junky. Not only does it make them unpleasant to look at but it makes things harder to find. Not everyone has the eyes of a 20 year old. Give us a magnifying glass or take out some of the clutter.
*The 2nd jigsaw puzzle was HORRIBLE. An ugly warehouse, really?? You couldn't find a better Christmas scene to use?
Despite these things I still love you Christmas Wonderland.
I recommend this game!

Thanks for getting rid of those ridiculous stars DO.
As usual the visual quality of DO games is excellent, as is the audio. Not a lot of babble which I like. And I had no issues downloading and playing.
As far as game play....meh. Pretty ordinary, just another Scrooge-type storyline. I hope over the next couple weeks BF gives us some decent Christmas games to play 🤞🏻
I recommend this game!

I would love to rate this game on my gameplay impressions but I can't even get it to stay open so I can play.
However looking at the game pics on the game page, I'm certain I would agree with the negative reviewers and would not change my 2 star rating
I don't recommend this game.

Thanks Casual Arts! Another awesome game! These games always put a smile on my face 😊
No complaints (as usual) about the game or play, no problems encountered. Did experience audio feedback in the beginning when playing the newspaper rotate game but didn't happen anymore after that screen.
Music and sounds are great! And finally the people in the scenes say "thank you" instead of "ooh". CA did a wonderful job with the Halloween graphics.
As I said, another fantastic game with Mike and Emma by Casual Arts. It was a definite BUY for me.
I recommend this game!

Played 1 jigsaw and 1 swap and deleted the game. The developer does give you a lot of options to choose for each puzzle but it doesn't make it anymore fun or improve the photo. The pictures they have chosen for this game are terrible, uninteresting. They did a very poor job with giving facts about Ireland. I find Swap games enjoyable but found them in this game to be lacking. The max # of strips is 25. The number should be a lot higher. Add some puzzles that are both vertical and horizontal. Make the Swaps more challenging for us adults.
I get what Tiny Little Lion is trying to do. With all the major complaints being voiced about Hidden Object games TLL tried to develop something new for us. But I think they came up short. Go back to the drawing board, improve on and elevate the game play and come out with a new and better version.
I don't recommend this game.

You really don't need to say much when it comes to Twistingo. This series never disappoints. Fun changes in this version. Kudos to this developer for always putting out an awesome game!

I like the Spellarium series. The developers usually add something new to gameplay which keeps the game from becoming too monotonous.
However, I think it's only a 4 star game. Graphics aren't great, storyline is horribly boring, the main character is hard to look at. Maybe some new music/audio sounds would be nice.
The mahjong games could have been coded a lot better...on probably 50% of them, I could only make one match and there were no more moves..even if I replayed it.
Despite the faults I find with this game, I will always play the demo at least. But personally, I'm going to pass on buying or using credits until the developers become a little more creative.
I recommend this game!

Sad because Domini used to be one of my favorite developers. But the last year, 2 years this is the typical game that they have been putting out. They get such poor reviews every game and I don't understand why they don't fix it.
Skip this game...its horrible, as usual.
I don't recommend this game.

I love these kind of match 3 games. While game play isn't rocket science, you do sometimes have to think about what moves to make and when.
My BIGGEST complaint about this series (which is why I took off 2 stars) is the BIONIC FOG. Developer, you take this to the utmost annoying extreme. Some levels feel like they will never end because you can't get ahead of the fog before it grows again. It is not enjoyable. It exceeds the definition of challenging. It's just a game that we are supposed to enjoy playing. I have played other M3s by other developers who also use the fog but theirs is enjoyably doable. Yours makes me want to throw my monitor across the room.
I may be the only person it annoys. If you're ok with it, then I would recommend buying the game. It won't be a purchase for me
