For me this is a definite no buy for several reasons. First I found the colors are too close to differentiate between them. Then there were the thumb tacks which are very large. I found these to be very distracting rather than helpful. Because the colors are so closely related the pictures just were not there. All I saw was a mish mash of colors. The breaking point for me as a no buy was that when you put the cursor on a tile and went across to count the number of tiles it only counted the tiles not colored in yet. For me this would cause a lot of mistakes as once a section gets Xed out to come across I always start at the first colored tile and come across and yes, I have been spoilt by Fantasy Mosaics which counts all the tiles for you! I did like the concept of a murder mystery but just could not stick with the game because of the reasons listed above. As always, try the demo for yourself you may enjoy the game!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a definite “No Buy” for me. After the usual fill in the squares with one color/three colors I thought the instructions became very unclear. Once they started the different shapes and the swapping of tiles the puzzles became impossible to solve logically without using the hint button over and over. As I believe (and someone said earlier) true nonograms should be solvable with logic and without hints. Not so with these puzzles and I like to play without using any hints; for me that is the fun in the puzzle hints hence the “No Buy”. Plus the puzzles are small to me. The boards are not as large as others and the white on white is difficult to read. In my opinion The Penguins have nothing to worry about. They can relax and finish fixing the cottage up for their Uncle. As always demo for yourself and decide.
I don't recommend this game.

First the whole game, or at leas in the hour demo, seems to be either timed or limited moves. I do not care for limited moves and don't mind timed but you have no option the game picks which mode. I understand there is a relaxed mode but I did not demo that one so I cannot comment on that. The complete lack of instructions is what makes this game a no buy for me. There are goals you have to meet in order to get 3 stars but during the hour demo the only goal I saw was the timer or moves. I never could figure out what the other goal(s) were. As always try for yourself the lack of instructions and goals may not be a deterrent for you.
I don't recommend this game.

I own all 4 of these games and was excited to see this one. Then I got to level 12. I have all Gold stars on 1-11 so it's not that I don't know how to play the game. It is not that i don't "Get It". I get it but to rescue 21 people before the fire reaches them is impossible. For me anyway. When will I ever learn! :( . I am now done with the game because I cannot get past this level and you can't skip it and I see no where to play in Relaxed Mode. I need to just cancel my membership and save my money. It seems the games just get worse and worse. Any way unless you are an expert time management player skip this game and spend your money on a game you can actually play to the end. I cannot endorse this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I am so glad I tried the demo before buying. I liked the first one and thought "oh, another make-over I'll grab it". Not so fast Slick! This is nothing like the first one. This one is horrible and no fun at all. I played for 15 minutes and that was honestly all I could take. If you think you are interested Please demo first. I bet you will change your mind!
I don't recommend this game.

Ridiculous, Ludicrous! How can you possibly find where the pieces go when they do not fit together anywhere. They just randomly go in the middle of the puzzle without any edges to help locate the position. I even used a hint once and it showed me where a straight piece went , up against another straight piece and it still gave me an error. I guess I did not put it exactly in the correct place. How would anyone have known one straight piece belonged up against another straight piece with no surrounding pieces to help? I would never waste my money on a game that does nothing but aggravate me. I play to relax and have fun and believe me this is not fun! I do not recommend.

I do not get all the 5 star reviews, developer's family members? I usually like and buy Elephant Games but not this one. I found this confusing and disjointed. I did not like moving back and forth between the castle and the woods. The hint button was useless so you have to leave the game and go back to the menu so you can look at the guide then back into the game. A no buy for me, I do not recommend.

A no buy for me. I have played and bought 1 & 4 but this one has irritating pirates that keep popping up and you have to pay them with your gems. One problem, you do not always have enough gems so they set fires or break bridges. I do not like that there are not enough gems to keep from having to rebuild everything. If there were enough gems, even though I find the pirates aggravating, I would have bought. So try it and if the pirates don't bother you a cute game!
I don't recommend this game.

I love build and gather games but this whole game after level 2 revolves around trying to keep camp fires going. I have no interest in a game where every two seconds I have to stop and relight the camp fires. I quit after level 7. Wish I had my money back as I will never go any further in the game or finish this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I own this game and I can not tell you how many times I have played from beginning to end and it is a long game. You start out in your lab which as you accumulate money you buy artifacts for. These items also increase your wisdom and popularity. You can also buy Spells which are really power ups to help you if you get stuck but you also get power ups on the boards for certain matches such as 5 or 6 match. There are also Awards, 54 in all I believe. I have never been able to win all the Awards. The boards are easy to see and play. Some boards repeat themselves as the one where there are bubbles on the bottom line and you have to get the bubble to the top. I can't say enough good about this game, I just love it and wish there would be a sequel. As always give it a try to make sure but I think you will enjoy it! I highly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!
