When the evil witch bewitches the castle and kidnaps the Prince, it is up to you to find the spells to save the day and the Prince. Straightforward solitaire game but you will need to read the 'How to Play' as the tutorial is not automatic. Enjoyable and becomes more challenging as you play.

This is a straight up HO, which is refreshing. The artwork is beautiful and the objects are easy to find. The fun little extra is finding the 3 cats in each scene. Sometimes you don't want a story or mystery to solve, just look at beautiful scenery and find objects. Great for beginners and younger children, but also a nice break for experienced players.

This is fun Match 3 game very similar to previous games by this developer. The mini games offer a break from the M3 with hidden object and other type challenges. The colors were nice and bright and the music, though repetitive, was pleasant. There really isn't a story, just collecting gems and money to build a palace. The only thing I didn't really like was the tutorial was not timely. While I am familiar enough to know what was happening, a new player might be a little lost with the game requirements.

HO's are one of my favorite type of games, so I was ready to buy, but decided to try the demo first. WOW! The dialogue was so bad it was painful to read. Some of the dialogue didn't make sense, which detracted from the story line. Most of the objects were easy to find, but some were almost impossible to locate as they were a little out of focus. Try it for yourself.

This is a fun little beginners game of match3 with a cute story line and colorful graphics. Noticed a couple of issues the devs will need to address. Some of the buildings do not show up after they are built. This happened more often as the game progresses. Also, would like to be able to replay the levels to try for 3 stars. Try it for yourself, but if you are experienced, there will not be much of a challenge.

At first this game seemed geared for young children, when looking at the primary colors and graphics of the game. Game play is slow and deliberate, where you have to wait a couple seconds for things to happen or complete an action. As the game progressed, the level of challenge increased with challenges of limited move bombs and turtles which block movement unless you blow it up or totally let it out of its shell. The story line is very thin, but, again, geared towards children. Play the demo and decide for yourself.

This is a great for beginning gamers. While the story is not a smooth transition of facts, the overall objective is to help Agent Sarah solve a murder. New gamers will enjoy hunting the same objects in the same scene until you earn enough stars to solve each scene. For anyone who has played HOPS before, this will be a very boring, repetitive, slow game.
I recommend beginners or others needing an easy game.

I have always enjoyed this developer's TM games and am looking forward to this new game as the first in a series. While the mechanics are a little awkward from other games, it is not so clunky as to disrupt game play. The intro is a little long, but give very important details to set up the rest of the game. The story is pretty intense and the game is story/plot driven, which is better, for me, than resource gathering. Kudos! I am already looking forward to its sequel.

Just a fun little game of match 3 to decorate a house for Christmas. The game becomes progressively challenging playing the timed and limited moves, but still a relaxing game.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The puzzles and HOPS were challenging and a little different from the usual fair. Eipix has outdone themselves with this exciting mystery and adventure.
