Wow. It's interesting what people like and what they don't... I loved this game and hated it at the same time. Apparently, I'm a glutton for punishment. It's definitely tasking at times. There are no hints, just an "assistant" to lend a hand. I would advise playing through the entire demo before making up your mind - and then go ahead and get it anyway. One of the other reviewers was dead on with their tips about pushing away the clouds and the way the developers were thinking whilst building the game. It's definitely different but most worthwhile.
I recommend this game!

This is just from the demo. At first I thought it was slow and I would be disappointed. It didn't take long before I knew I was going to buy it. It's different from other games out there. Definitely a challenge. I'm not very good at describing the game in detail, I just wanted to give this game another Hi-five!
I recommend this game!

This reminds me of "Mushroom Age"! Love the little adventure; I bought it after the first 15 minutes of demo play. I also love that the game is not in pitch blackness. Keeps you entertained. I think you'll be pleased.

It seems to be a little bit of a cross between a word search and the "Chuzzle" game, if anybody is familiar with that. The words you are to find are at the bottom of the screen and you need to drag the line of letters either across or up and down to form the word. Nice idea but I lost my interest rather quickly; and I LOVE word games. I think a beginning speller/word seeker might find this more enjoyable than I.

This is a great word game when you really want to do some thinking! Since there are only nine letters and hundreds of possible words you will need to come up with more than the standard "are, one, purse," to pass to the next level. You'll be using letters multiple times and that requires a little planning. The word doesn't always just jump out at you. It also has various choices for timed, relaxed, endurance, etc. Nice little game for some vocabulary/spelling exercise.
Fun word game, especially in the challenge mode or Hex pattern. I do like that it isn't timed; instead you have a certain number of moves. If you reach a point level you receive more moves a reward. If not, a crow comes and takes away your coins/letters and you lose. Nice game.

Pretty good brick-busting game. Reminds of Bricks of Atlantis but the graphics seem a little flat. Decent at handing out extra helpful items (fireball, hammer, etc.) to keep things lively. Not bad if you don't already have one or two brick-busting games or if you're really crazy about them.

I hate to be unkind but maybe if you just stepped out of 1981 this game might be exciting for you. I'm thinking this was an eighth grader's first attempt at game making; and good for them but it really reminds me of my first game system... the name of it escapes me - it wasn't an Atari. This game is just bad, bad, bad. Sorry about that.
I don't recommend this game.

I must have played a different game from the other reviewers. This game was OVERLY simplified; matching pairs. At that, solitaire is meant to be a challenge, a least a little bit, even the simplest of games. I really wanted to like this game as I love to play cards but I am sorry, I really have to give this two thumbs down. It couldn't hold my attention past the first ten minutes. It's not even worth it as a free game. Sorry.

I think I'm one of those people that thrive on being a glutton for punishment. I finally finished this game after playing it off an on for what must have been six months, though the actual time at the end of the game showed only four and a half hours! I got stuck in the garden for an eternity and stopped playing for a while. When I came back to it, I forgot what I had done so I had to start over. Then I got stuck in the garden again... Every time I hit the hint button it wasn't as helpful as I wanted, but I was determined not to go to the walk through, as I consider that only in times of defeat. Bottom line, GREAT GAME.
