Senereorchid noted many of the right points. As an Expert M3 player, I have to agree that the timer is too short. The music changes to fast beating jungle drums when the timer is getting low, so I found it easier to run the game with the sound turned off. The concept of collecting a specific number of icons is common in M3 and provides motive; however, this game has too many icons going on at the same time, so you continually run out of available matches and have to use potion to shuffle the board. That's not good - it wastes time. Hint: unfreeze the frozen panes ASAP to gain more available working tiles. This game is cute and with some revisions would be worthy of purchase, but not in its current form.
While this third version of Season Match has equally beautiful and crisp graphics, phenomenal color and a great story line, and it contains many more levels of play than versions 1 and 2, its challenge level is significantly lower. Power ups were seldom needed; hidden item level pieces are hardly hidden. It became tiresome by level 90. I'm playing the 'Arcade' level now, and it does provide a bit more challenge. I would recommend it, but know it's not as difficult as 1 and 2.
This was one of the most fun M3 games I've played! I love the little men cleaning up the blocks and yelling when they drop on their head! Really cute! I like the variety of building in between the game boards. The colors are vivid and the overall appearance is bright! I've bought them all and can't wait to start the others!
I trialed and purchased all three Seasons on the same day! I got through this entire game in one day! Couldn't put it down! Great color and brightness! The difference in this M3 is that you touch one item in the group and the entire group explodes - Yes! I love the explosion games. It has a great variety of M3, hidden object and other mini-games. Read every screen carefully to get the details of how each power up works - you'll need these to get through the tougher levels! Also, read all instructions for the mini-games, so you don't lose time trying to figure out what to do with that level!

This was my first 'Heros' purchase and I've since purchased the two prior. I love the explosions and multiple-block linking instead of the traditional moving of blocks. There are changes from the prior versions, some better, some not, but well worth playing over and over again! Hint: Use your power ups as soon as they are fully charged!
