This game has beauty - unlike any other game - and strategy, and just plain fun. LOVE this game!!! Wish there were others - but how could you top it?
The bugs and butterflies and just the REALNESS of the game - so beautiful!!!
I keep going back to this game - year after year - such a classic!

I LOVE these games and was so excited to see this one offered. As many have said, the lack of gift boxes and princesses to collect (no CE) was disappointing as well as the look of the princess - I kept wondering who the strange woman was. But what has upset me the most is the inability to queue moves - you can only do one at a time - so it seems much clickier. I also had problems with hitting the sweet spot to click - many times it took several clicks to get it.
I will buy it because I'm hoping it gets more difficult as the game progresses, but sure wish this were more like the other ones - they were great just as they were!

I LOVED the first Rose Riddle - but it was so hard! Played and replayed so many levels to get 3 stars. The developers must have listened because this one was almost too easy. I like a challenge - replay a level a few times to figure it out - but this game I was able to get 3 stars on each level with very little replay (2 levels only).
However, the game was fun, the story very cute, and I will for sure buy the next offering. Maybe a game difficulty somewhere in between?

Thank you, thank you developers! This is exactly the kind of game we have too little of! So much fun! It's a cute story line, it's challenging without being ridiculous, and it's just plain enjoyable. Keep them coming!

I love TM games and have purchased every Hercules game, even though they aren't my favorites, because they offer some enjoyable games. It seems they tried to do a new type of TM game, and it totally flopped. The music is awful - loud, distracting, and annoying - and it doesn't even have anything to do with the time period. The play is clunky - slow and somewhat awkward. The whole thing is very repetitive. I rarely stop a game before finishing the demo - this one was just so boring I lost total interest.
I don't recommend this game.

Really love this game - keep going back to it day after day. Unfortunately, also going back over the same level over and over trying for 3 stars. I bought the Collector's Edition and must say that the strategy guide was not very helpful. Yes, on some levels I could get 2 stars vs 1, but 3? No way.
That said, I love the game! It's very cute, clever and fun, and Dracula is funny with his little asides. I love TM games, especially the ones of this type, so was very happy to finally have a new one. Just wish it weren't so hard - but it is giving me many hours of enjoyment! Hope they make more of these!

I love this game - play it over and over. I just wish there were another one similar to it - it's unique. You can make it very hard if you choose - I like it medium so it doesn't drive me insane. I highly recommend this game!
