After reading reviews I had mixed feelings about trying the game but I have to differ from some of the other folks. I really enjoyed the game and will buy it. I like Helper so I'm not tired of him. The story is cute but I don't pay much attention to the story anyway. I play mostly for the game itself. You DO still have the option of making 1 mistake and getting 3 stars (not sure how that got mistaken). The depictions are excellent. Someone was complaining that it was a Christmas theme and it's the new year, but it wasn't presented as a new game, it was the "Daily Deal", although it does say "Helper New Year" so that may be a bit misleading. I found it just the right level of challenge - it's not an easy play. I have to agree that the hidden object games they throw in ARE too easy. Try it for yourselves because I think if you like Rainbow Mosaics you'll like this one.
I recommend this game!

I've been doing more of these paint by number types and some are relaxing fun while others are tedious. I found this enjoyable but the pictures are not clear until you finish and then the pixel squares are converted to an illustration. If you "paint" over a completed number with the "wrong" color it reverts to the original number so you have to point and click but there are 3 power ups that let you paint one whole consecutive group of same number, one that lets you just paint any numbers until it runs out, and one that lets you paint a large square of numbers related or not. I bought it.
I recommend this game!

This game is fairly simple but pleasant to pass the time. It has the annoying feature of unwanted instruction but other than that it is good. What you earn from your matches allows you to build an elf village that was destroyed when the local factory exploded. Not wonderfully unique like some of the jewel match games but I'd give it a try, especially if you are a match 3 lover.
I recommend this game!

I got confused by some of the reviews as if they had the wrong game. This is a fairly straightforward HOG - not a puzzle - just a "find it" type. It isn't my favorite genre but this type is my favorite type if I'm going to play hidden object. Give it a try.
I recommend this game!

I don't normally play HOGs but this one was appealing because of the holiday theme and one reviewer said it was dead easy (it isn't in my opinion) The graphics are quite nice and the story is a little different and intriguing. The sound was fine although I usually play with sound off so did that after about 15 minutes. I'd rather read what they are saying when the time comes. If this is your genre I would try it and if you just love holiday themes I would try it.

I really like this genre if it is cleverly designed but, this is a chain match which is not my favorite. The story is the timeworn tale of the evil villain vs. the good gal. Not much interest because the story is so hackneyed. There are also puzzles (too simple) and HOGs which are too difficult (for me to enjoy on a time limit). Even though its a simple game there are parts where logic and strategy don't come into play so you just keep making matches hoping something will happen to clear the board.
I don't recommend this game.
Set out on an exciting journey around the world!

These were very simple jigsaw puzzles typically with less than 20 pieces to be placed so there really was no challenge. The music was ok but if you play with sound you also get a very loud click each time you place a piece which is annoying so I just muted. The pro was that the pictures were interesting and representative of the country they were about. For me it is a no buy because it is too easy, but give it a try.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the typical up/down solitaire but the art is nice and the games are challenging enough to be enjoyable. Some folks don't like that when you've found all the gold cards the hand is over even with more cards on the board, but I like that. It makes you strategize a bit differently than you might otherwise. I played the demo and the story line didn't really develop but I guess if you want to know what happens you have to buy the game. As always, my suggestion is try it out.
I recommend this game!

This is fairly simple, it does go quickly, the images are bright and fun - sort of stained-glass/mosaic looking.
I recommend this game!

I like puzzles but this seemed more like work than fun to me and I had a bit of trouble making the cube do what the directions said. Only played part of the demo though so check for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.
