Love this game. The play is fun and interesting, even as the boards get more complex., with more things to do, like drop trucks or gold to the bottom of the board. The trucks then have to collect certain amounts of tokens, and then, with a merry honk, they drive off the board. The animal sounds are so realistic that my dog barked back. Clicking on animals or businesses gives the sounds, even in the loading of the game where corn drops into the trough, along with baby chicks. I especially enjoyed the bubbly but soothing music. All boards play well, not timed and give a sense of accomplishment. No frustrating pieces in corners or playing forever to get some super power-up to clear the board. The power-ups are really fun, especially the bear, who drags smeared honey off the board, along with tokens underneath him. This one is just loads of fun. There are no choices on what you buy, except for your dog, but I don't mind because it just plays so very well.
I recommend this game!

I am thoroughly enjoying this game that I took a chance on. Great mystery and storyline. I am really loving the HO scenes that are fun to figure out, like make a zebra out of a horse or stain the handkerchief. Puzzles are fun and not too difficult, just an enjoyable change of pace. I am a mystery fan and this one is more like a real Poirot story than most. Haven't finished it yet, but so pleasantly surprised with it that I had to write a review. No, not challenging, just lots of fun. Listen to the carnival music at the beginning: very beautiful to me.

I don't usually love FROGs, but this one is exceptional. Beautifully drawn and animated. I watched the lifelike bird on the pedestal in the wolf kingdom for the joy of it. Cute litle mouse, too. Never had to go to a walkthrough. The hint button pointed me in the right direction without telling me what to do. Loved the parables as an interesting storytelling feature. The story was unique, but familiar, without being predictable. Sometimes I truly didn't know what to do next, which is why I rated challenge only good. Never can find all the morphing objects, so I don't try. I'd rather be entranced by the story, and I was.
Since I love dogs, it was great to end with the wolves becoming friends, as they have in our reality.
The music gets an A plus from me. as I found myself humming along. That's rare. Just enchanting.

This one is different, but I love the variety of games: hangman type, unscramble, HO and more. I love variety, not the same puzzle over and over. This one is fun, with lots of chapters, and always something new to do. Traveling through different times is interesting, although I didn't know mushrooms were more evolved than anything else-- hint hint. Not hard, just an entertaining brain- teasing game.Lots of talking, but it was done well. Haven't noticed the music. For something different, great fun.

This one had an interesting story. It was a dark one, but it had heart, romance, redemption, and a bittersweet ending. It was logical and I loved the fact that, if I didn't know what to do, it helped, without telling me exactly what. Only complaint was: some hiddern objects were totally black and I defy anybody to see them. Even with the hint, I still couldn't see them aand had to click on the dark spot. Not fair, developers. Overall, a very good game.

I loved the fun, not-too-difficult play of this game. Entering the different worlds was entertaining. The artwork was beautiful and outstanding. Kept my interest, although I didn't care about the storyline at all. I loved never getting stuck or frustrated, although the clock on the house on the hill got me; I put the hands backward before I caught on. Music was unobtrusive and didn't come to my attention. It is short, but I loved playing this fine game.
I recommend this game!

This is one of very few games I keep on my computer permanently; it makes me smile when I play. This game is for dog-loving adults. The outfits are sophisticated and varied; sports, evening wear, etc.There are six power-ups and you receive bombs and dynamite to blow up tiles when you make larger matches. You work puzzle pieces off the gameboard and get rid of colored tiles. Then you make a jigsaw puzzle with the pieces. There is swap, chain, and group mode. Only a gentle touch is needed to get pieces to move; so no carpal tunnel. The music is fun and upbeat, but pretty. I enjoy reading the dialogue to see what each client is asking for. Overall, the pups are adorable and I love this game.
