... the download would work. Big Fish just messed up everything when they "upgraded".

I downloaded and installed, then uninstalled and redownloaded and reinstall, and the game just keeps trying to write to a protected sector, gives me an access violation, and terminates.
Big Fish games used to be more well designed and well behaved. I work in Technology, and this is just bad programming.

Unlike many here, I generally enjoy Domini games. Maybe this would have been fun 8 years ago when HOGs were just point and click hidden object scenes, with no plot of which to speak, but not now.
Plus, there are no collectibles in this collector's edition. No morphs, no nut'in.
Not buying, and would not recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed the demo, and love the game series, so I bought it. My point were reduced, and I got an invoice. Plus on this page it says "purchased".
However, the downloads (I bought another game as well) were just the trial versions again. I can't find them in my purchase history, or the "my game downloads" page. So, Big Fish took my money, but didn't give me what I bought. Lovely. I already didn't like the new system, but this is stupid.
I recommend this game!

Based on demo, but will be buying.
I really enjoyed the demo of this, and have only one small gripe. I think this is true of all Elephant games, but I'm not sure. I read fast enough that I want to be able to click out of dialogue as soon as I've finished reading it, and not have to wait for the voice over to complete, but you can't do that in this game. I find it frustrating.
That is a small thing.
I loved that this is interactive, and outcomes change depending on your responses. It reminds me of old Infocom games, which I loved. Actually, any of the old text-based adventure games. Well done!
I experienced no glitching or anything like that.
I recommend this game!

Well, I was enjoying myself. Then I got to level 88, and it shows zero moves, zero jewels, no playing field, and a lost life. In the old days, you could talk about this in the forum and list technical difficulties, but not anymore, because somehow, as the cost of storage plummets, Big Fish couldn't afford to keep the forums open.
So, now I am stuck with an unplayable game.
I don't recommend this game.

Not for playing the game, but on how to use the store items, how to access the ones you've bought, etc.
I don't recommend this game.

I rarely write reviews, but I really wanted to warn folks about buying the whole game on this. I agree with others who said it was inconsistent at best. Seriously, every game the glasses get broken and have to be fixed. This time there is no fixing them, but WOW, there is an entirely different option? A tattoo? *eye roll*
I am one who enjoys the bright, nearly cartoonish, colors of these games, so I will not ding them on that. But really, this is just not up to Domini's standards. Big Fish needs to stop forcing these developers to churn out a new game every 3 or 4 months.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the second game since Blue Tea took the series back (another reviewer was incorrect in saying this was an EIPIX game) and I am loving the return to the look and feel of the games. I played the beta and had a good time, and have now purchased the full game.
I recommend this game!

... then get someone to proof the game! Between the spelling errors and the bizarre grammar in a lot of the things you were actually *supposed* to read, my enjoyment of the game was close to nil.
That's sad, because it could have been a really fun game. I still have not figured out how the match-three "block" power-up actually works, but other than that it could have been quite good.
It was not.
I don't recommend this game.
