Yeah, it's crazy-making trying to find tiny things on my laptop screen, but I don't care. It's funny and silly. Thank goodness they let you close the game and save your place!
The times are tiny. The gold bars appear to be related to tiles cleared. Diamonds you get after completing a screen. I got to a certain point and it said I had one gold bar to clear, but there was nothing left on the screen. Eventually, I could combine items but they didn't register. Game didn't work.
Early in the game I didn't get something I needed, and the hint box just sent me back to the item that was incomplete. I think the visual quality is low. I'm giving it two stars because I couldn't get very far but maybe it will work for others so I didn't give it a one. But I wouldn't buy it anyway, too cheesy.
This was over soon after I paid for the whole game. Disappointing. Otherwise the game play was fairly simple and maybe good for a beginner.
I recommend this game!

Played Surface Alone in the Mist through -- it was pretty fast. I am getting to the point where I am only interested in games with decent artwork, and this was pretty low-res. Game is not particularly original. Giving three stars because it is just average.
