The little mermaid Fiona has fallen in love with the statue of a warrior and will stop at nothing to bring the statue back to life in this match 3 adventure!
Another "rescue the helpless female" game? Enough!

She's got the face of a child but is "dressed" like something else. Come on, dev's, let's get w/ the 21st century! Females don't need rescuing anymore; we're perfectly capable on our own (and have been for a very long time.)
I don't recommend this game.

Don't like doom & gloom games, plus this one was just plain too dark to see anything. Not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Love M3 games, but at times they can be dull & this one is. The mini-game made absolutely no sense & the "screaming" hints were beyond annoying.

Same idea as first, but with a few new challenges. Begins easy, then of course increasingly difficult, but overall just a very good engagement for ye olde brain cells. I played the first one into oblivion, finally putting it on the shelf & hoping for an update. This is it. Yippee! Sigh. It takes so little to cheer me. :=}

I play M3's a lot; this one seemed to go nowhere fast & to nag you while you were trying to figure it out. Simple M3 rules didn't seem to get you there fast enough for the dev's. Beautiful graphics & a chance to be a great game, but just missed the mark in my book. After the trial, I tossed it.
I don't recommend this game.

This one is a must if you like M3's. Honestly, it is really fun. I played the demo so fast, I was blown away. Yes, it is timed which I normally hate, but there are features that help & the timer isn't bad. I choose very carefully before I rate something a 5 star, but this one is awesome. You won't be sorry getting it. The shearing of the sheep is the funniest part & the sheep you've clipped are crack-ups as a naaaked sheep! Oh my!
I recommend this game!

This had the potential to be an excellent game, but the artists who designed the HO scenes made the pieces so very small they were practically invisible. A mini-game had lettering that was also minute. No, my eyes are fine, but I lost interest when I couldn't see the lists, much less the items.
Seriously? We're STILL rescuing mermaids (women)???

Could have been cute, minus the fact that WOMEN don't need rescuing anymore! Dev's need to join the 20th century, not to mention the 21st. egads.
I don't recommend this game.

M3's are simple, but after the requisite first several screens, this one would not proceed to next screen even though I cleared the board. No clear way to proceed or retreat, just one match after another. Beyond boring for me, sorry.
