As far as I can tell, and I'm about an hour in, you can't actually solve most of these puzzles without using some of the hints. In the early 5x5 grids, it was possible to solve without hints, but when it's the 10x10+ grids and it says "5 items per line", I don't see how you're supposed to solve this without hints.
That having been said, I really enjoy the game. It's like a Sudoku type of game without all of the numbers. It's very challenging (I have no idea how another reviewer said this wasn't challenging??), and I love doing Sudokus.
It's clear that whoever developed the game was not a Native English speaker. That's perfectly fine, but it might take a bit of trial and error to figure out how to play the game if you've never played a game like this before.
Easy to play with a laptop trackpad. Has no time limits.
Still haven't figured out what the "holiday" theme is, but it's still an enjoyable game that features a lot of puzzles.
I recommend this game!

May not be worth paying the full price, but it's not a bad game at all. It's a fun holiday-themed game, but it doesn't have annoying holiday music playing all of the time.
I've been playing Rescue Heroes 1-4, and it feels just like those games - only much less refined. The graphics feel a bit more childlike and unrefined, but the game itself is not glitchy. It's enjoyable to play, and it's possible to get Gold in most of the levels without too much issue.
You'll need to manage Wood, Gold, Food, and Mana as you help Santa deliver gifts and whatnot around the world. The maps are much smaller than in similar types of games like this, but that's because you can cast "spells" that renew your resources such as Trees and whatnot.
Completely playable with a laptop touchpad.
Totally worth purchasing on the Holiday sale.
I recommend this game!
Save the day as the leader of the Rescue Team! Easy to play, challenging to master and packed with fun, Rescue Team 3 is the best one yet!

They made some notable changes to the game since 1 and 2. Now you can queue up actions for your workers to do. All of the rescued citizens can also "work" in your resource houses to provide extra resources.
This has an interesting storyline about a corrupt government who needs your help protecting his island from a natural disaster. You get a bit of the storyline before every mission. This CAN NOT be skipped. That's my only complaint. I enjoy replaying a level until I get gold, and I have to click through all of the dialogue first. There is no "skip".
Once you're done with the dialogue, the timer starts counting down. No longer are you given the "strategy" overview of the world to look at and plan your mission before you start the timer. It's frustrating.
The actual gameplay itself is just as "cartoon"-y as it used to be in the previous games, but they updated some of the character art in a "grungy" manner. I'm not as fond of the art.
Game is not nearly as challenging as Rescue Team 1. I Gold most levels on the first try without trying.
Very good game, and I really love playing it.
This plays on a laptop just fine with a touch pad.
I recommend this game!
