This type of game is usually not my favorite, but this was an exception for me. Game play was smooth, art was very nice and if you got stuck you could get a valuable assist. The theme was fun and different, and there was a lot of variety in the mini-games. NO mahjong. Yay! I will likely buy but maybe wait for the "regular" edition as I don't usually find that collector's editions offer much extra for twice the price.
I recommend this game!

This was a very enjoyable Match 3 from the Amanda series. My only con is that it could be slightly more challenging but otherwise it was fun and a probable buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I didn't hate this game but I didn't love it. I found it very difficult to do certain things. One example, "find the matches", there was a crumbled up piece of brown paper which was unidentifiable as anything in particular and it was a "match" with a plain white folded piece of paper. That got tediuous and it happened a lot with various items. In other cases you were to "identify" items from a tiny sample and in some cases that looked nothing like the actual thing if/when you found it. Then almost all the activity takes place in two locations and they have all the same stuff to find, although it does ask for different items in some cases, always looking at the same scenes was boring. I didn't hate it but I would not buy it. And why do all these games include mahjong? Wonder if anyone realizes a lot of us HATE mahjong and want whatever the game is supposed to be instead. Maybe a lot of folks have expressed love for those????
I don't recommend this game.

or snakes, or flowers or whatever. Always pretty much the same. The finding part is no challenge and "find the differences", IMO, is one of the most deadly boring types of game. I kept looking for something more fun but that was not to be. I actually thought mahjong was the most boring but I've learned otherwise. I really disliked this.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is super simple and has no particular point. I wondered why it was only a 15 minute demo and I've rarely seen that. In this case, when you start the game it shows that it has 25 levels and by the time I completed the demo I had completed 14 or those levels so it is a VERY short game. I wouldn't recommend but if you have a little one who likes to play, check it out
I don't recommend this game.

Good puzzle that could be made better by allowing you to make it larger and smaller. It would be nice if you could change the shapes of the pieces to make the puzzle more or less challenging.
I recommend this game!

Although HOAs are not usually my favorite this one was very enjoyable, although I admit I had to get clues quite a bit. But the clues were readily available and it didn't seem to detract from the game to use them and helped understand what to do next as the game progressed. Just might be a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I could load the game, which I did 3 times, and each time I tried to open it to play I got an error message so finally uninstalled it for good. I very rarely have a problem but this one was a no go for me.
I don't recommend this game.

The photos in the scenes were often fuzzy and the items to find were the same ones over and over in the different scenes which, I'm sure, made it cheaper to produce but less fun to play. They could have done much better.
I don't recommend this game.

I like the hidden object part of the game but every other game was a mini game like "find the differences" or puzzles of some sort, etc. I don't care for most of those games and don't enjoy that they take away from "finding" things. I will say that the morphing objects were able to be found which isn't always possible in some of these games. It was fine and maybe if you love mini games this is for you.
