I have a couple of the other MKFTP games and in my opinion, they're OK. I actually like the changes the developer made to this recent one. There are only so many different things developers can do with these builder games, so I can't comment on that. I did like that you could cue ahead. I didn't like the scroll button so I shut that off. I also didn't like the fact that when you saw a resource available, you sent your little guy to get it, and he only gets a part of it. Then you have to send him back, and back again, etc. I think too they could have done away with the "you don't have enough food" voice too. I enjoy TM games and they are few and far in between lately. This one is just ok, but that's just my personal opinion. Do demo the game and see for yourself. I do recommend this game even though I won't be purchasing it.

I just found out there was a Part II to Enlightenus. Oh happy day :) I absolutely loved the first in the series, and also love this one. It is so unique and different than really any game out there. The level of challenge is high as far as the puzzles and adventure part of the game go. You really do need to think about where to place the objects back into scenes. Some are hysterical. I see they're making a part 3 and will eagerly wait for that one. I highly recommend this game.

I recently found this game, and it is absolutely wonderful. So very different. It is an older Blue Tea game, but the visuals and music are great. The puzzles are very very challenging but fun. You are putting items back into scenes to recreate pages missing from books. If you haven't yet tried this game, I highly recommend at least playing the trial. I loved it

This is a fantasy game where you and your Uncle Alfred were building a portal to shoot you off to another dimension, when lo and behold, Uncle Alfred did not wait for you but used the portal alone. Now he's in great danger and you, the niece, must go into the portal and track him down. You, the niece, are quite the chatter box, and can't help but make comments all throughout the game. But I digress. The colors and graphics are very nice. There is not mouth movement, which kind of bothers me. The people are cartoonish. The music is peaceful and relaxing. I'd say this leans heavily as an adventure game and I do love adventure games. Just really not a great fan of fantasy/sci fi games. However, this one I really enjoyed. The HOS are few and far in between and were done very very well. 2 were list, and one was fragments. The puzzles were unique, something different than the same old same old. I found them to be medium difficulty. However, the last puzzle in the demo ... , the one with creating the recipe, did not work so well for me. I had difficulty moving the spoon, but perhaps it was just me. There are 2 modes of play to choose from. . I do like the game a lot. I found it challenging and different than the usual same old same old that is released. I did however, will wait for the SE. I'm not a big fan of searching until my eyes hurt for morphing objects and except for the bonus chapter, have no need for al the CE extras. Enjoy :)))

This review is solely based on the demo of the CE. My review would definitely give another star for the SE. Your niece has invited you to her wedding, so you hop in your hot air balloon to travel to her, but alas, your balloon crashes. You brush yourself off and walk into town to find everyone gone except a crazed painter who is able to paint things which come to life. But ahh, not to be alarmed. You are equipped with your own magic palette and can paint things to deter these objects. The storyline is interesting and different (actually, very different, not sure in a good way or not). The HOS are varied from put the items back into place, to silhoutte, etc. The mini games I encountered are fairly easy but they were of the annoying variety, such as press one flower petal to get them all to close, but by doing that more open... I so dislike those :) The graphics are great. Cut scenes are nice and the little video clips give you a bit of background story. I didn't notice music, but it could have been there. There is a loud gonging sound whenever you click on an area of interest. That could have been omitted. There are 30 birds to collect. They are easy to find. Other than the bonus chapter and SG, I dont see any extras except for the usual gameplay achievements. I think the game is good. Not great. Not fair. Good. I do not think it warrants CE status. It appears to be a fairly short game even with the bonus chapter. I shall be waiting for the SE on this one. Trial the game and decide. Happy gaming and have a wonderful weekend :)
I don't recommend this game.

I absolutely love this developer and have enjoyed the first 2 installments of this series. We have your niece phoning you for help because her boyfriend Stephen has disappeared in the forest. When you arrive, you see swarms of crows, well swarming :) The graphics are beautiful. The music is fitting and suspenseful. Dialogue is nice, not too chatty. There are squirrels and jigsaw pieces and characters to find. There are achievements to earn. The HOS are progressive in that you find one object to continue on to find others. There are mini games in the HOS. You get a journal with facts about the characters and a nice map. Looks to be a fairly long game. There are 3 modes of play to choose from. I always demo in casual so I can get as far as I can with the story. This looks to be an excellent game. It is my favorite genre and one of my favorite developers. If I had one small complaint, it would be that developers need to increase the difficulty of these games lately. This one is linear but all the other things make up for that in my opinion. I am disappointed that this game was released so close to the end of the month with my punch card empty. LOL I will try to wait until the First of February to purchase . Enjoy :)

I have NO idea what the object./purpose/use of this game is. You have 2 children, one goes into the sewers to fight rats and other things. You are also collecting treasures which I suppose are very common in sewers? I'm SMH and speechless over WHO would create this game and WHY. I do not recommend. I do recommend BFG take it off their site.

This game was cute. Story line... you are stranded on a desert island and have to build huts, clinics, etc. There were some HOG thrown in which were easy and kind of broke up the M3 a bit. The graphics were good, but for me, they were too busy. Too many different shapes, etc on a smaller board. I didn't care for it. I think it's a good game, just not my cup of tea :)

Very simple review here. Developers pay attention. Mahjong should have an untimed mode. No untimed mode.... no buy. I use Mahjong and Match 3 games to chill and relax, not beat a timer. I cannot recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

This game has men wandering into a pink shrouded lake and disappearing. Why? The answer lies in the game. Much better SE than it was as a CE. I didn't feel the CE had enough oomph to warrant being a CE. The colors and animation are terrific. Music is wonderful. HOS are very nicely spaced and the last item you find you need to use it to interact with other things. The mini games were original and not difficult. Even I was able to complete them :) The hint system works great if you need it. You do get a journal and a spectral collecting device. The map is done very well. Story is very interesting and kept me wanting more. Enjoy.
I recommend this game!
