Oh, What a tangled web of seaweed we weave, The little mermaid is the villain and the sea witch is the heroine! Darling, it's not better down where it's wetter, take it from me, cuz everybody wants a set of legs so they can work out in the sun all day instead of devotin' more time for floatin'
I long for HOPAs of yesteryear when you didn't come across a task that required an inventory item that could be found in the next zoom zone on the same scene. I know everyone is expecting a "full report" on my review, but I'm not going to put forth a lot of effort just to be slammed by fraudulent No votes. Enjoy playing this Little Mermaid twisted fairytale and thank you for all your support :)

When I played the CE version, my cursor moved at a snail's pace and it was really annoying to play. The cursor was doing the same thing on this version so I clicked the Window Mode and the cursor moved fine. That probably means the game isn't compatible with high-resolution computers.
It appears that the CE version has 4-5 additional variations so this SE version seems "Sameish" and less varied.

It drives me crazy when I can't remove all cards from the board. It wouldn't be so bad if it were a possibility to remove all cards, but most levels have strategically placed the "special cards" on top of normal cards, making it impossible.
Once you remove the last special card, the level is completed, no matter how many cards remain. I would love to love these solitaire games! I just wish they would offer an option to continue playing after you remove the special cards.

Puzzles are all about the picture, if they aren't appealing, no one will give the game a second thought. The only exception to this rule is if the game allows you to download & create your own pictures. These pictures are incredible!
There are six puzzle categories of puzzles... I would love to submit my full review, but until BF stops the person targeting me with No votes, I'll just post a bare minimal review here. Submit a complaint to BF and ask them to solve the voting fraud. Great job, Graphium Studio...I hope you understand :)

I was really looking forward to this game because I love games about Dragons! Well, there aren't any dragons, just a plight to hatch a single dragon egg. There is nothing "magical" about this game or the graphics other than a Unicorn that produces Stars, (which everyone knows should have been Sparkles!) Don't forget to read on & between the lines!
Not every game has to have an Alice's Wonderland theme. That was a great series, and Big City Lab should be proud, but all they are doing at this point is changing a few tasks to fit a new game title while everything else screams Alice's Wonderland! Speaking of changing, don't you think it's about time BF changes its policy of allowing 1 individual to target one of their members with a ridiculous amount of fraudulent No votes on a daily basis for 7 months? (It's kind of sad, there's surely something seriously unstable with someone who wastes SEVEN MONTHS of their life targeting a player's daily reviews, they must live a very lonely, solitary life) Dragon Tale is a good game, it's just that it could have been a great game if they actually had features involving dragons.
Why not let us find and collect Dragon Eggs to hatch? Those hatched dragons could then be included in the proceeding levels!
Instead of building magical factories that produce magical artifacts, I get to build normal Gold Mines, Sawmills, and Foodmills (how exactly does a windmill produce a ham hock?) I love dragons, I think I was the only one who watched Game of Thrones for the dragon scenes...and when Daenerys' dragon, Viserion, was killed by the Night King, I may have wept a tear or two, lol...anybody else ever wonder if Drogon & Daenerys are still alive & thriving somewhere in Volantis?
Instead of fighting or capturing fire-breathing dragons, I have to send a dwarf to kill a 5' purple scorpion with an axe. Instead of a dragon flying overhead and scorching the land, I get to repair a tower called the Waypoint Tower...that doesn't sound very dragoney or magical to me!?
The puzzle pieces I collect are fragments of a dreamcatcher?? A dreamcatcher was created by the Ojibwe Native American Tribe which has nothing to do with dragons or dwarves...really, that's the best they could come up with? It reflects negatively on one of the largest online gaming sites when they are unable to stop a single individual from targeting one of their long-time paying members, which is no different than cyberbullying. Once again, there is a Morphing Bat that gives us Paint Palettes...they couldn't bother to change the bat to a baby dragon? It is the little details that make a big difference!

THIS IS THE SECOND ROADS OF ROME THAT WON'T PLAY!

Roads of Rome is one of my all-time favorite Time Management games...at least it used to be! Roads of Rome: Portals # 2 wouldn't do anything when I clicked the play button, and now the same thing happens with Portals #3. I haven't had this issue with any other game in the past 12 years, nor do I have issues playing other games by this developer, including the original Roads of Rome.
Both games download perfectly fine, but as soon as I click the play button, an hourglass icon appears for a split second but nothing happens. On the last game in this series, I waited patiently for the SE version's release thinking perhaps a different version would work, but I had the same issue.
No one bothered to solve this issue, so 1 star seems appropriate. Speaking of no one bothering to fix issues, BF doesn't seem to care that a single individual is targeting me with a ridiculous amount of No votes on a daily basis. If they don't care enough to protect their members, I see no reason to submit detailed reviews on this site, when there are bigger, better sites available that don't allow fraudulent voting to occur. Roads of Rome may or may not be a fantastic game.
I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling, I tried to access the game from the icon itself, and I tried to open it directly from the program's files. By all means, feel free to vote multiple times for anyone and everyone, because obviously, BF encourages this behavior. When I click the play button, my cursor turns into an hourglass for a brief moment, I hear the "bloop" sound it always makes after clicking Play on any game in the Game Manager, but absolutely nothing happens after that! Everything goes back to normal as if I never clicked play, it doesn't even show up at the top of the game manager which is typical after playing a new game!
I waited patiently for an entire year, but this issue has yet to be addressed or updated by BF or Qumaron. The fraudulent No voting has been happening daily for 7 months so clearly this company doesn't care. I would appreciate your support, please submit a complaint about the No votes targeting my reviews. I really hope someone fixes the compatibility issues with this game.

HOW THE WEST WAS WON...SOLVING ONE HO SCENE AT A TIME

This is a decent Hidden Object Game, but I wish they would choose better scene locations. Some of the locations are really boring, the 1st scene for example, is a room inside a casino with a bunch of junk laying around. When people think of The West, I'm pretty sure this room isn't what they envisioned!?
There are a couple of Morphing Objects in every scene and two Interactive Tasks per scene, such as "Put the Ribbon on the Box. Until BF decides to fix their fraudulent votes that are being used to target me, I will only write bare minimal reviews for this site, can you blame me? "Each Hidden Object Scene has a Hidden Key that unlocks a scene-related Fun Fact. I'm asking all of you to submit a complaint, please :) If desired, you can replay levels to get a new fun fact (5 keys/fun facts per location). Each scene also has a collectible Star that will unlock that specific level in the Unlimited Play mode. BF doesn't seem concerned about the fraudulent voting system on their site, so have at it and vote as many times as you want for anyone & everyone. I recommend this version over the CE version.

There is no "Enchanting Story" This is just a Hidden Object Game with puzzles. I'm okay with this. The HO scenes require you to return to the main menu and click the play button; otherwise, you get stuck on the bonus puzzle page. This is annoying.
The HO scenes are really interesting but they are dark and the graphics are hazy and very old-school in appearance. Speaking of appearance...BF doesn't seem concerned about the fraudulent voting system on their site, so have at it and vote as many times as you want for anyone & everyone. There are only 3 HO varieties...good luck finding them, the Hint button will be your BFF! The CE version is a BF requirement so I don't blame the developers for offering games in a CE version

I'm very picky about puzzle pictures because I always choose the square tile option with no tabs (in this case, rectangular) I love the added challenge a square tile has, but I don't want to do a puzzle that has no detail or one that has a ton of sky blue, for example, because it becomes boring very quickly. I love that you can download your own pictures in this series, so it really doesn't matter what the stock pictures are.
It's easy to download pictures to your computer that make fantastic puzzles. Just search for wallpapers, or puzzle pictures and the sky's the limit. The hard part is finding a puzzle game that has this option, so problem solved!
I would love to have an option for more than 400 pieces because I usually don't do puzzles under 1000 pieces. I also didn't see an option to disable the puzzle piece shadowing because I've never understood why someone would want this annoying feature?

Hidden Object Games were the first genre that captured my attention when I first started playing PC games. To this day, I still enjoy playing a simple HOG, but they have to have some kind of "It Factor" to capture my attention. Speaking of attention, pay attention to the abundance of fraudulent voting that has been occurring on this site. My Lovely Pets is a decent HOG, but clearly, this developer can only create knockoff games from successful series created by other developers. Keep reading between the lines folks :)
You will earn a Red Star for completing a level, a Yellow Star for quick finds (x2-x3), and a Blue Star for finding all Silhouetted Shape pets. Why does this site allow someone to target an individual with massive no-vote dumps on a daily basis? Some levels have two parts, a listed item HO, followed by a silhouetted shape variation. BF also allows this same individual to dump massive yes votes to other reviews in an attempt to make my reviews less credible.

I found that on these 2-tiered levels, it's nearly impossible to earn all 3 stars for some reason, even when I replay the level and click on every item within just a few seconds, it still gives me 2 stars (yes, I collect all animals) Since when was cyberbullying & fraudulent voting an acceptable practice? I did notice on these levels that the extra silhouetted shape objects were not available, and there is no box with silhouettes shown, could this be a glitch and they are supposed to be there?
