This was a simple,cheerful and fun little game. This was my first ever Match 3 purchase...that's how much I liked it.
You start the game with the basic puzzle and as your earnings grow, you can buy upgrades to your farm, which are then added TO the puzzles. As you add product to your farm, trucks appear in the puzzles. These can be loaded with wares and taken to market to increase earnings. Some of the upgrades add bonus tokens to the bottom right corner which can be activated when filled.
There are many awards to earn and add to the trophy room.
There are options for music and sound volume. I enjoyed the pleasant sound effects, just a gentle clinking and a few explosions. Good times.
I recommend this game!
Have a fabulous Easter with Mike, Emma and their classmates in this fun-filled Easter game that the whole family will love.

This is a good game to keep the youngsters busy for awhile. There is a wonderful balance of HOS and puzzles. The game features a good variety of puzzles and both are challenging for the younger crowd. The hint and skip buttons charge very fast, so there would be less frustration if they need to use them. There are hidden chicks to find in every puzzle, a spin-the-wheel type game to be uncovered, and the music changes with every scene.
I recommend this game!

The artwork was scary. My wee one ran away in fear of the "angry rabbit". Besides that, he's pictured with poisonous amanita muscaria mushrooms. If I was a child who associated this rabbit with all things edible, the combination could be potentially fatal.
The music is upbeat and jazzy but there was a one-trick-pony song that played over and over and over until my ears nearly bled. The colors are bright and cheerful but there is very little explanation of what the different elements of the puzzle do. You get to purchase upgrades to your dining room and earn a few trophies. Not very impressive.
I don't recommend this game.

I have a few games from this developer. I enjoy them very much and always feel at home when I hear the familiar sound effects.
3 modes of play - objectives updates - location updates with coordinate discovery.
Wonderful balance of assembling object HOS and Puzzles
Instant teleport map to world locations(would appreciate area maps as well though.)

This game is awesome. Plenty of challenge with lots of unique elements like switching dimensions.
I enjoyed the HOS that required matching objects to their source and then finding additional pieces to finish a machine. It was like Unchained Reaction, only smaller and without Jamie and Adam.
3 modes - strategy guide - no extras
I recommend this game!

This was a very fast-paced and potentially addictive game that really requires you to pay attention and be goal orientated. There is an entire page of trophies, some of which gave me a giggle. Nevermore : Chase Away a Raven to Unlock (yea I'm an Edgar Allan Poe fan) and Who You Gonna Call? : Chase Away Your First Ghost to Unlock.
I found that it was very challenging to get gold time. I barely made it before the time ran out on the first go round with most levels. This is a game that will require you to play and replay to try out different strategies.
I recommend this game!

The only issue I had with this game was that it wasn't always easy to get the inventory objects to do what they were supposed to do and in some cases...even though I was supposed to use an inventory item, it wouldn't let me until other tasks were completed...which was confusing when I didn't know about them yet.
I bought this game. It was good fun and I got many wonderful screenshots for my desktop wallpaper. Good times.
I recommend this game!

~ Helpful Magic Bottle (what exactly is in there do you think?) and amulets to assemble. There is some talk of saving mages. (Now depending on some other games that you play...you may or may not WANT to save mages....most dps types might just want to let them rot.)

I just had to buy this game. I had way too much fun during my trial hour.
The characters are adorable. The animated scenes were hilarious. I am a hidden object fan so I was in barnyard heaven with this game. There weren't any annoying puzzles for me to skip and it was like interacting with a cartoon program. Being able to name the dog gave me the giggles. I won't tell you what I named it though. :P
I just wish the customers were a bit more patient...sometimes the difference between a canteen and a flask eludes me. :P
I'm going to get back at it. I heard some talk of a tractor...
I recommend this game!
