I didn't care for this but some might. I only had time to do about 1/4 of the first puzzle, which was not only contstantly moving but the background can't be removed and the picture changes entirely from one to another making it very frustrating to try to pick and place pieces. I don't think developers realize that you need niore time to decide if it's a buy. I've been with Big Fish for about 15 years and have hundreds of games, all of which were bought after a 1 hour demo. 15 minutes isn't enough - might as well move on and find something I can reallly tell if I want.
I don't recommend this game.

This one is on my buy list. I found the story interesting and the game play challenging enough to be fun, It is hard to make Match 3 games very different from the others but this one is different enough.
I recommend this game!

I did find this game enjoyable, but it is true that some of the items you have to find are unfindable, even with the magnifier. That's why I gave a 2 for visual quality. I don't take these games too seriously so I don't mind using hints and that helped. I would say I had to take at least one hint per round. Each round you get a star and then you play the round again to get a star in a different mode (word, shadow picture, word jumble and mirror), In order to move on you have to get at least 2 stars in 3 of the game fields and in one you can get away with one star. It's a maybe buy for me so I sort of recommend it, but I would suggest you give it a try unless you are a total purist - no hints, no magnifier. If that's you, you won't like it.
I recommend this game!

I was just beginning to think this is kinda fun but I want to see how many pics there are because with only a 15min demo I assume it is a very short game. And before I knew it, it was over and I didn't even get a chance to look. Only had time to complete about 1/2 of one picture. Some of the pics on the first page were VERY unappealing. Since I joined in 2009 I have bought literally hundreds of games after the demo because I could see I would really like them and wanted more. With these 15 minute demos there's no time for that so a no buy for me. Wish they'd give you at least 30 minutes and they might get more sales.
I don't recommend this game.

I have to admit, as much as I like cats, 500 cats and kittens with little else of interest quickly lost my interest. I like it better when the puzzle edges have a square to fit into but that's not a big deal. I also didn't like that you cannot enlarge the puzzle. When you are working with a couple hundred pieces or more it's too hard to see if you can't expand the page. Otherwise tis puzzle game likely has all the features you would look for. Edges only, you can see all the puzzles by scrolling through the boxes, etc. I recommend with the caution that if you don't adore cats you might not want to buy.
I recommend this game!

While this is typically my favorite genre, this one left me a little cold. In the hour demo the story line barely began to unfold so I couldn't give more than 3 stars. The thing I liked least is that "automatches" don't count. My favorite part of one of these games is strategically setting up what they deem "automatches" but are they? That is such a fun way to achieve your goals and you've taken it away. Why? For me, that makes this game a "no buy".
I don't recommend this game.

This is my favorite genre, but this game was too simple. It's really more like 2.5 stars. On the first round I made 1 play and the game finished the round without me having a chance to actually play. That happened a few times as I continued the demo. The conversations were a bit tedious for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I love almost all of the many puzzle offerings. There is a lot of color and variety. You choose your puzzle shape, rotate or not, number of pieces, show edges only, etc. All the things that make it fun to play your way. If you are a jigsaw puzzle lover I bet it's for you. A buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I found this game to be kind of boring. While there are choices of ways to play, which is typically a good thing, I found that all the options were equally unenjoyable.
I don't recommend this game.

I had no glitches at all so that was apparently resolved. The game is ok. I like match3 but this one fell a little short of the mark for me. I would suggest you try it yourself before buying.
