The game is perfectly balanced between easy and challenging so it's never dull and the wins outnumber the losses where it's never disgruntling. That is providing you choose a difficulty setting beyond relaxed comfy zenful impossible to lose casual mode. I personally like the number of moves difficulty setting for at least some sort of challenge and can minimize anytime on my pc and open it back up, already running without any loss of place or time. If you've played other match-3's you might recognize the build. I'm pretty sure I've played other variations by Ironcode Gaming as this does seem familiar. That's fine with me as I'm a fan, and I'm not just blowing wind (get it, blowing wind, fan, never mind, I'm such a dork).
Another thing I want to give props to Ironcode is the music. The ambience of the game is enhanced wonderfully by the music scores that are simple yet well written and never irritating no matter how many times I hear them.
The story, well, I suppose there has to be a story. But so what, plus children might be intrigued. If's definitely family friendly.
Match 3 perfection in my opinion
I recommend this game!

Though I haven't finished it yet, I felt compelled to go ahead and toss some props Friendly Fox's way for this excellent breeze through hidden object game I'm really enjoying. The game's path is mostly straight ahead with not much backpedalling and the visuals and music are excellent. I had to use the old noodle on a couple of puzzles but for the most part have found the others pretty easy. That's how I like hidden object games, where a higher difficulty setting isn't a burden but enjoyable still, the game not a simple walk through but never stuck for long.
I recommend this game!

I'm loving this game! The graphics are crisp, quick and responsive with some new challenges as well. The occasional variety of puzzles tossed in as a refresher are excellent. The soundtrack is almost my personal favorite aspect of the game. Though repetitive, its Asian flair has some progressive modern accompaniment and perfect for the atmosphere of this game. Last but not least, it has difficulty level setting, especially # of moves which is my personal favorite of various restrictions.
I recommend this game!

I almost gave this 4 stars but settled on 3. For casual gamers it's nice. There aren't any difficulty settings such as limited moves or time so each level is completed without fail. For this game it's not necessarily a bad thing although I do like somewhat of a challenge. The repetitive music is nice and doesn't get under my skin. The visuals are colorful and comfortable. Another aspect I'm on the limb with is the purchased upgrades. Just a little into chapter 2 I'd already purchased the most powerful one which pretty much finishes the levels in one fail swoop, a dragon literally comes down and blasts pretty much everything. If I use any other upgrade it erases the energy buildup of all other power-ups, so I basically just play until that one is ready and finish the level with it. I'm still playing it so I'm not totally bored but whether or not I complete the game is yet to be seen. I'm about 40% through it. The story's simple and charming, the characters look like they were drawn by a college student, and the built areas are just different enough where they won't get sued, for example the arena has little wizards on brooms but the stands and enclosed areas resemble a Roman coliseum.
I recommend this game!

This game shows how simple a game can be in size and speed yet really enhanced with excellent visuals and sound. The matches pop, crackle, boom, and shatter which to me makes it fun to play.

The game is attractive with bright contrasting shapes and beyond rated 'G' story of a girl who is discovered to be something else and must leave her land. The gameplay, although with various tools to aid along the way, to me was for the most part boring. There's no time limit or number of moves options so it's basically keep matching until you finally fulfill the goal of each level. I personally like a challenge of some kind, although just level 2 took me forever to finish. 2 areas were bottle-necked so to speak with no possible matches in their areas, so I had to keep plucking away at one area's bottom until finally I could move some of the shapes and get a match - 3 going inside the other two. It took me almost 20 minutes to complete that one level. Maybe that's why there's no time limit or # of moves. Another negative in my opinion is matching 4 or 5 objects gives no power-ups like most do. It was boring, a charming game but boring.
I don't recommend this game.

Though this game offers a 'relaxed' mode, I like a challenge and do the 'limited moves'. I can't tell you how many times I get down to the very last coin and run out of moves. I have to look the board over and figure out the sequence of occurrences for each level. The only real difference in this version and the last is the new challenge of covered areas which have to be moved. Other than that, it's just another great 'Spellarium', perfectly balanced levels, some easy and some tough, but none without inevitable success.
What's more important - the fate of the world or the destiny of your family? Find out in this amazing hidden object adventure game!

The standout to me are the many puzzles in this game, most requiring some thought, some a lot of thought, and some a walk in the park. It's one of those you'll feel proud of yourself if you can complete them all without any hints or skips. The boy character is kind'a whiny and the mouths are minimally animated, looks kind'of bizarre not moving accurately at all with the voice audio. That being said it's a visually fascinating game.
It's going into my list of favorites.

I loved the colorful excitement going on and on normal mode the difficulty is perfect. At this point I've gone through at least 20 challenges and only ran out of time twice and barely made it in time with few others. I'd lose myself into the visuals sometimes and realize I'm not paying attention to the goal. It's a visual feast for the eyes and ears.
I recommend this game!

If you're familiar with 'Journey' or 'Abzu' you'll love this games atmosphere. I suspect a developer of those games was involved in this one.
