Based on the demo: This is a limited-moves type of Match-3, no "relaxed" option available - but the target moves (so far, at any rate!) are very generous and if necessary, you can play a slot machine to win extra moves. There's a wide variety of bonuses available. You can relax between games with roulette. All in all, I'd say it's a pleasant way to pass the time, but don't go looking for a mental challenge.
I had to tear myself away from the game to let others know how fabulous it is. There are two "threads" - a sequence of games of increasing difficulty - one of match-3, one of hidden object (HO). The HO part is very similar to other Hiddenverse games (i.e., the "clutter" type), but the graphics are clear and easy to see. Because of the variety of the games and the minigames every 5 games or so (I LOVE the pipe puzzles!), boredom never happens. Pure fun.
I enjoyed playing the demo, will probably buy the game. It's colorful, has a cute (sometimes funny!) story, fun ideas - a new match-3 game from Magnussoft. I'm sure the game play will become more challenging as I move up the levels. There are 3 kinds of difficulty, so something for everyone. Unfortunately, the music became annoying very quickly - but I'm certain everybody knows how to adjust their PC volume.
This is an exceptionally well designed game, and a real treat to play. I'm almost overwhelmed by the depth of the imagination that went in to designing challenging, yet super fun levels of play. The play is limited moves or timed, but you can re-play a level to your heart's content and all levels are "do-able" with a little bit of thinking. The graphics are astonishingly beautiful.
One of the best Match-3 games I've played in ages!

I loved this game. It's a typical Match-3, with clever bonuses and a city to build - but it never gets boring! It took me a while to figure out how to play - I never did understand the "Store" but it doesn't seem necessary - but once started, I played for two days straight! I enjoyed the occasional mini-game (hidden objects or jigsaw puzzles) and wish there had been a few more.
When I first played this game, in the trial version, I found the time management aspects (in which hungry customers constantly interrupt the Match 3 game) to be extremely stressful. But THEN I found out how to re-start a level to stockpile essential power-ups, and I was totally hooked! This is a super-fun game, quite addictive, and I'm thoroughly happy to have had the experience of playing it. Thank you, developers!
