DO YOU LIKE APPLE PIE?

Here's an analogy; I sell pies, all kinds of pies. My top seller is Apple Pie. Not everyone likes Apple Pie, but the majority of my customers want my Apple Pie. Some have had their fill of my Apple Pie, but it's still my best seller because most of my customers love my Apple Pie. Should I stop selling my Apple Pie because some of my Apple Pie lovers are tired of it? Why would this developer stop selling their Apple Pie, isn't that how they make money (psst: developers make games as an income)
Now, as for the Dev's pets. (a feature in the game) I wonder how many people work for Boomzap the publisher? I wonder how many people work for Tiny Little Lion the developer? I wonder how many of those delightful pets were pets that have passed away? Can you imagine how devastated they would be to hear someone telling them their pet isn't real? Two years ago, I lost everything I owned in a fire, none of it keeps me up at night, they were just material things. What does keep me up at night is the fact that I lost my beloved 4# dog, Loki, it was devastating.! So please, let's be kind.
I have given developers poor star ratings in the past, BUT, it's because those developers had fantastic features in the beginning and started cutting corners, or they weren't adding features that the majority of people were asking for. That isn't the case with Tiny Little Lion, they offer fantastic features.
If you loved their Apple Pie in the past, but you grew tired of Apple Pie lately, that's not the pie maker's fault. I am giving this game 4 stars because I don't want others to be afraid to say they like Apple Pie!

I've been a critic of this developer's games lately but I have to give credit when credit is due. Pop Art pops with color in multiple shades; the images are way more interesting and most of the images cover the entire page, versus a small area in the center of the page as in previous games.
Wouldn't it be cool if BF offered series bundles? 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. Thank you to all those who have supported me over the years :)

A ROYAL DARK ROMANCE

Exactly who is romancing whom here? I have played hundreds of HOPA games, and I have never been as confused by the storyline as I have with this one. Instead of switching between two Royal Lovers, it went from one character's plight to an entirely different character with no explanation in between.
Although there are 6 Chapters, they were short chapters that kept repeating the same tasks over and over. I don't ever want to fill another lantern with fireflies or smoke out another swarm of bees for the rest of my gaming life.

This is a story about betrayal, murder, and revenge...and a whole lot of missing doorknobs, zipper pulls, and emblem motifs! I'm pretty sure the betrayal part goes hand-in-hand with the murder part, he probably wasn't expecting to be murdered so who can blame him for wanting revenge?
The story is a mixture between American Horror Story: Summer Camp, and Friday The 13th...but nowhere near as intense, and definitely not as interesting (don't worry folks, it's only water) so maybe it's more like Sable Maze: Sullivan River, without the amazing gameplay.

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.
