In my opinion it is way harder to manipulate the puzzle pieces than it needs to be. The background issue didn't bother me as much as it did some other reviewers, but I see their point. The lack of ability to sort the edge pieces is a big issue for me. It took me the entire demo to finish the edges and add a couple dozen more pieces which moved it from pleasantly challenging to tedious for me. Try it, maybe you'll see it differently but I think there are lots of better jigsaws out there.
I don't recommend this game.

First, they don't give you nearly enough time to read the story on each level. Maybe if you are a speed reader you could get through, thus my rating on story line. I didn't get to find out the story. Next, I got to level five and could not get enough of the necessary materials to finish - stone in particular. Thus my rating for fun factor. I went back to previous levels thinking I had missed a chance to stock up on stone but could not find any way in previous levels either. Thus my rating for level of challenge, and at that point, after playing the level twice, I abandoned the demo. I'm not a huge time management game fan mind you, but I have played and enjoyed all the Roads of Rome until now.
I don't recommend this game.

Normally I love match 3's but this one just didn't click. It has so many barriers to clearing the board, and you get lots of helps but I just did not enjoy the game play at all. Give it a try, you might like it but you're not alone if you don't.
I don't recommend this game.

I bought this because I enjoyed the demo but there is a lot of duplication. For example there is flower bush, bush (that looks just like flower bush) and there is Prince hiding behind bush which looks like all the other bushes. There are many versions of "witch" that pretty much all look alike. I became pretty bored with it before the end. Play is pretty easy but hard enough to offer some challenge. I never used a hint or any of the helps and never got less than 2 out of 3 stars - and mostly 3 stars throughout. I quit after 7 of the 12 rounds. Each round has 10 puzzles. I recommend this game only to the extent that if I run out of other more interesting games I may return and play the rest. Some people who love mosaics will probably enjoy to some degree.
I recommend this game!

You might find this fine for just passing time. This is one of the kind where you use the cursor to connect as many matching tiles as you can. They call it "linking" style. You have to uncover treasures in the sand. They are easy to find and uncover and they are always the same, round after round. There is a variety of puzzles every few rounds but they are also quite easy. This is my favorite genre so I look for something different and interesting and this wasn't it. I don't recommend it for people like me, but that's the nice think about the demos. You might enjoy it.
I don't recommend this game.

The challenge is there. I had trouble finding a number of the objects and had to use hints but they are generous with hints. There are so many similar out there - like the Cruise Director group, that are a lot more fun. If this is your absolute favorite genre you might like it more than I.
I don't recommend this game.

First, I played in limited moves mode - you can also play with no limits or with limited time. I was only able to finish about 6 or 7 levels in limited moves mode during the trial. The story was fairly typical bad guys vs. good guys who have to build a town to protect themselves by earning money via a match 3 game. One downside was that each round loaded fairly slowly. I'll wait for a sale and then buy this one.
I recommend this game!

This is improved over the last game in my opinion. The illustrations are very good this time around and the extra games are more enjoyable. Overall it may be a little easier than it needs to be, but I will buy this one.

I usually find these "Travel to" games a 3 or 4 star, but I found this game pretty simple and sort of boring. Only used a hint once. To me the story was pretty non existent and I think I played the whole game in about 1 1/2 hours. If I had realized how little was left after the demo I probably would not have bought it.
I don't recommend this game.

When this was titled Hidden Object I loaded the demo and the first 20 minutes was fun so I bought it on BOGO day. I also saw that it said it was a combo of other mini games like mahjong. Fact is it is almost entirely mahjong and very little hidden object. The mahjong isn't even regular mahjong but you match tiles to their line up in a tray vs. matching with each other on the board. It's tedious and, so far, I've easily won each game they included. The music is average, there really is no storyline, the pictures for hidden object are small and a bit hard to see although you can enlarge the screen. I did not end up enjoying this game and regret not having played the whole demo. You might want to do that before you decide to buy.
I don't recommend this game.
