Some of this review is a matter of taste but mostly judgment based on playing many match 3 games. The taste part is the music. I just don't like the droning on and on. Nor do I like chain match games, as there are always long chains to be made, which makes any effort at thinking perfunctory. As for judgment, there really is not much of a challenge, and aside from sprouting flowers not much to look forward to. Anyway, good to know anyone can do the demo to see if it works for them. It surely doesn't for me.
Having said that: 'Am waiting (really waiting) for Spellarium Cursed House, Jewel Match!
I don't recommend this game.
Restore the greatness of a gorgeous mansion, using the power of stars! Play Match-3 levels, earn stars and improve your estate!

I am an older guy. I find match 3 games enjoyable when they assume those who play are past middle school, such as the recent Jewel Match games. I'm fine with the cartoonish offerings as far as they go, though I wouldn't buy them; but, please, please, can we have some match 3 games that adults can enjoy. Come on Suricate, more please!
I don't recommend this game.

This has been noted above, but I think it needs emphasis: The tiles are almost impossible to distinguish and cause considerable eye strain. I cannot fathom how the developers could have released the game without recognizing this would be a problem. I am disappointed as the art, gaming, and music are all terrific--- unfortunately playing this game would probably require a trip to the optometrist.
I don't recommend this game.
You've come upon a land of such beauty, but the surrounding areas are barren. Match your way through nature and restore this beautiful kingdom!

I really like this game! The music is soft and relaxing. The developers have added a couple of new things that really improve play, especially the lightening tiles. And building a nature scene is fun. The story line is pretty simple, unlike the Royale games, but the scenes you create are lovely. All in all, if you like match3 games, you'll enjoy this one, for sure!
I recommend this game!

If this isn't game of the year, I can't wait to see what is. Enormously creative and almost flawless in story development and dramatic tension. I've never seen a game by these developers before (I think) but I'm hoping to see many more.
I recommend this game!

This is simply the game of the year. Puzzles within puzzles; thoughtfully constructed HOPs; suitable music to theme; Here's hoping other developers are paying attention.
I recommend this game!
From the makers of the Rite of Passage series comes a ground-breaking new series that's as creepy as it gets.

Ok, 130 reviews with most giving the game 5 stars, including me! I really hope developers are watching this: Here's a game for adults with smarts and reasonable challenges. Those of us who play these games really need to shout out that we are not dolts and altogether lovers of furry animals and elves who help us. How about more games like this one: serious, fun, entertaining. Of course, not every game can be or should be like this one, but surely, this one should set the bar for what exceptional looks like.
I recommend this game!

Is there anything not to like about this game? It's innovative, has interesting puzzles that engage rather than frustrate, has a musical arrangement that somehow never gets boring, has a storyline that's coherent, and has artwork that requires a slow, appreciative look at each new scene. Hey Elephant Games, take a look at Mad Head, they're what you used to be. This game isn't a paradigm shift, but it is at the head of the present class!
I recommend this game!

Just when I had grown tired of the same old same old and was thinking about a break from bf along comes Cadenza! The art work is brilliant, the story intriguing, the HOPs are fresh, the puzzles, while not hard, are different and fun, and the music...wow!. Even if you're not a jazz fan, the music is about as cool as it gets. Bravo to Mad Tea. Other developers...take a look! At least for me, Cadenza is a new standard.
I recommend this game!
