I played the first game,NL1 and although I liked it I found it a bit "Meh"
So when I saw NL 2 I only downloaded it because there was nothing else on offer that I fancied (We are not all fans of "Hidden Object "games!!!!!!!)
But I was delighted with this one! It was sweet (pun intended) challenging, and makes you think about how to plan your moves.
I play timed mode and easily got gold in all levels. I say easily, but in reality had to use boosts for a couple of levels. They were super useful btw.
I loved that the puzzle pieces on each level were not always easy to find. They were well hidden and a challenge to find which I loved!
I am glad I took a punt on this game, it was a rare gem and I would highly recommend it!
I recommend this game!
A new time management adventure with your favorite Gnomes! Help the queen defeat the Sea Overlord and rescue her friends!

I was pleased to see a new Gnome Garden game as I really enjoy them.
I love the graphics the sound and found this game to have some challenging levels. It was fun and I was really enjoying playing it.......until level 28. I see from previous posts that other players have had the annoying and disappointing issue with the last task, "Scaring off 4 raccoons" the game doesn't recognise that you have scared away any raccoons so the level (28) and the rest of the game stops there. You cannot go forward.
I uninstalled the game Then re-installed it. No change. I even replayed the game in a different mode hoping for success. Nope.
The incredibly annoying thing is that I always play the Demo of a game first to be sure I like it and also to be sure that it is compatible with my PC. I feel really let down and conned because this glitch was so far into the game and it of course wouldn't be picked up as an issue playing the Demo.
Big Fish did comp me a "free voucher" when I raise this with them, but it has an expiry date, and unless some amazing new time management game comes along ( seems to be all about the Hidden Object games at the moment) it wont be used.
I literally lost time and money on this game .And would defiantly advise others to steer clear and not buy it.
I (sadly) cannot recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.
In the next great time management adventure, help the Inca save their homeland from a merciless god!

I found this a really nice game.
I loved the cute little Incas, the graphics were amazing and the sounds were very dear and sometimes funny. I didn't have the issues others have had with the game appearance being too small and difficult to read/see.(I played on a large monitor.)
I play A LOT of these types of games and my strategy is to play Normal mode, get what stars I can while getting the feel/cadence of the game. This usually makes it fun and easy to go back with my new found knowledge of the game to collect three stars on all levels.
This game.....Is in my opinion over the top hard! The characters move too slowly, the goals often require an unfair and enormous amount of collected supplies and actions to complete. Making it neigh on impossible to attain even one star per level! Even when you replay the level knowing what the hidden goals are and what to expect.
I don't like playing in "relaxed mode" for me this takes away the fun of the challenge. But what ALSO takes away the fun of the challenge is making the goals too difficult to reach.
Nice game but Developers, don't be so mean with the challenges!
I recommend this game!

I nearly gave up on Big Fish Games as EVERY other New Game on this site is a "Hidden object" Drama. Sooooo boring!
Fetch is innovative, fun and refreshing. Cute graphics, Sweet story and loads to do. Love the on board Strategy guide although only needed it a few times.
More like this please BF!
I recommend this game!
