I bought this game as a Collectors edition and have been playing for months and play it daily. Very entertaining. Must admit I play untimed but there are various levels to play to select from so everyone has a slot. Beautiful graphics and you can chain jobs ahead !! In my opinion this is the best of the Roads of Rome games.
I recommend this game!
The royal couple's honeymoon turns sour when an evil lord enters the picture, and now it's up to you to rescue them (or laugh trying)!

I have never given 5 stars to any game either SE or CE but Orchid Games gets 5 stars for both their games from me.
Great graphics, good music, excellent, hilarious background commentary, These are not games for children, they are very adult wrapped up in children's packaging. I was so intrigued by the demo that I went back and purchased their previous game. They have great replay value which I find very important. I've never laughed so much at any pair of games in all the years I've been purchasing games from Big Fish.
Thank you Orchid and Big Fish for an extremely entertaining day.
I recommend this game!

Five stars GrandMa games! IMO this is a great game they have hit all the bells and whistles. Bright cheerful colors, sharp graphics, various types of puzzles (some I solve and some I skip), custom settings so you can make it as easy or as hard as you want, lots to do (finding eyeballs.. eeek), lots of evil but not dark demons to get rid of. I know the storyline... save the queen, daughter, princess has been done many times but, this is my kind of game. Good job GrandMa!
I recommend this game!

Thank you Elephant Games and Big Fish for a wonderful tale and early Christmas present.
Really good music! Changes frequently so you don't get tired of it. Graphics are wonderful Christmas scenes, clear and sharp. Game play works nicely with Windows 10. New take on traditional Puss and Boots story. Good voice overs, each character has their own voice and personality. Using the custom settings you can make this as easy or hard as you desire. It has a jump map and the hint button will take you straight to the scene you need to be in. I know this won't appeal to everyone but IMO it is a great start to the Christmas season.

Even though this game is out of the usual period pieces I like to play it is enormously entertaining. From the absolutely gorgeous graphics, music etc. everything is perfect. Great job done by everyone at EIPIX!! Can't wait to deal with the snarky police and have them eating crow.

Something for everyone this week in the way of gaming. I gave this a 4 star rating due to the flashing lights and very dark scenes that you have to strain your eyes to see anything. On the other hand Eipix graphics are spot on for this genre of game. Liked the interactive HOS sections.
Every bad memory from high school just comes rushing back only this time you can just eliminate them. Score for the Eipix team.

It is very rare that I will give a game a 5 star rating but here it is. Not only is the story good, everything else in this game is a cut above all I have recently purchased. The HOS are for the most part unusual, graphics are beautiful and the music, which I almost always turn off, is pleasant. Added to all this we have a customizable setting so that we can make this game as easy or insanely hard enough to please anyone that likes fantasy games. Kudos to the developers for all their hard work.

Once again, Eipix has delivered! They have very quickly become one of my favorite developers. Regardless whether this is a sequel or not is immaterial it is a wonderful standalone story. A feast for the eyes in colorful graphics regardless of the dark story. Very inventive use of HOS. I will spend a happy day playing this solving the mystery and looking for loot.
Good sale Big Fish! Buy them all fishies if you haven't already!

After having played this game most of the day I've decided to give them a 5 star rating. This game is much more than a M3. It has something for everyone. I have all the Jewel Match games and they are without exception the most beautiful graphics I've seen in any game. The progression that this developer has made is phenomenal. They have gone from producing simple M3's to a game that can be as "tear you hair out" challenging or as many of us wish, very relaxing,
I recommend this game!

Based upon the beta test of this game that I had the pleasure of doing for this Developer I have purchased this game without even doing the demo. That is how much I trust them to put out the best in entertainment. They always hit all the high check marks the we expect in our HOS. I have never had a glitch in any game purchased from them. All of their games have great replay value.
I recommend this game!
