I have Jewel Quest which is very good. Atlantis Quest must have been made prior to Jewel Quest and it is very slow. It is clunky on the board, it is slow, and it is boring.
Jewel Quest is much better made. They may have different developers.
I quit because I became impatient for pieces to move and it was just way too slow.
If you like these kinds of games, I recommend Jewel Quest.

I was surprised to see such a well-created game. You have to match different objects, but they have various features that make it interesting. As you go through the levels (over 100), you receive items to put into your Japanese garden. Mine was gorgeous, and I love this game. (Ironically, it is a Chinese-made game because the visitors to the garden are obviously Chinese, not Japanese - but if you don't know the difference in the cultures you wouldn't know.) Beautiful objects to win, loads of pretty flowers, fountains, Buddhas, bridges, gazebos, cherry blossom trees, just a lot of things. It was fun to go through each level and then you'd "win" an item to use which you could go and purchase more of with your points. It's very creative. I love this game, and the music was soothing, the colors bright, the garden really well done (although you make it your own). I highly recommend this game for people who like to create something that's not with dorky characters or junky items. I wish there were more to this, such as a series of settings to create. Five stars!
I recommend this game!

I have tried this game on trial and what I noticed is that I think it is a Chinese-made game, as the explanations and words are not described correctly. I recognized that because of the grammar and the vocabulary. A native English speaker needs to go through and correct it. I have spent a lot of time in China, and I recognize the errors in the English. It is confusing without correct English words. Directions were also confusing. The graphics were nice, and otherwise, it is interesting.

This was way too easy and very slow. Time Management games are often about time and how you handle it. This was so slow, it became irritating. You can only use one hand for each item, the customers are extremely slow. Everything is slow. The graphics were zombie-like, and the music could put you to sleep.
For me, I prefer something that is very fast-paced, keeps me constantly looking and on-guard, and I can multi-task.
This would be a good game for kids learning to play a time management game, but for experienced players, I think many would find it just too slow.
I don't recommend this game.

It's a great game to play, with loads of nice graphics, colors, music and a garden to grow and prisoners in ice to release. You get several boards at once to go back and forth to complete, with nice variables. When you complete the boards, it brings you to the castle and garden. You must release the main characters family/friends from ice blocks.
Unfortunately, on Level 83, it totally froze and that was that. I could go and play the boards, but never got past the gardens nor able to release the prisoners in ice. So, I don't know what actually happens at the end of the game. What could be a great game, is just mediocre or not even worth playing if you continue to run into frozen screens or actions that don't work. Developers pay attention.
Too bad, otherwise, it was a good game. I DO like to finish an entire game, and I would guess some people don't get that far, but it's disappointing when you purchase a game and expect it to continue through to the end.
Otherwise, if you luck out and get a game that doesn't freeze, it's a really good game.
I recommend this game!

I love, love, love this game! It is amazingly interesting and challenging, but not unbeatable (like those that leave you frustrated when you can't complete it). It IS challenging, but fun challenging.
The graphics are terrific, and "Crazy Dave" (you'll see what a character he is) sells all sorts of stuff out of the trunk of his car and he pops in at the right times. Great way to transition between levels or changes.
The levels are wonderful - each one is different. There are "sunny skies," "fog," "darkness," many scenarios. By beating the Zombies, you get points, and the points give you money to buy items to help you in the challenge. There are extra games to get money and points.
The music is great, the sounds are wonderful, it is very interactive. When you finish the first round of the game (the entire game), you go on to start another "game," and gather more things that Crazy Dave has to sell. This allows you to not only "win" the first game, but to continue again and have additional NEW items, and challenges as you go through the game again (and you WILL want to!).
There's a Zen garden, too, where you take care of your plants. But most fun is getting the zombies. It takes skill and time to learn how each item works best under which conditions to kill the zombies. There are MANY different "plants" to use to kill the zombies and it takes time and skill to figure out how to use them - but you do, and then it makes it more fun to use strategy to defeat the zombies.
This is a PERFECT game....not many game makers can produce such a perfect game. It has everything you could want - challenge, many levels, lots of variety, great characters, unexpected events....it truly is a classic. I wish more game makers would use this as a model for what really makes a great video game!
HIGHLY recommended!
I recommend this game!
