All in all, this is a fun festive version of the great original game for all ages! But far too short. I had 16 minutes left on my trial version, on Normal difficulty, and I was played at a relaxed pace. But this is a really cute game, and lots fun for the festive season!
I do recommend trying the free online version first, and if you like the gameplay, then try the trial before considering buying. The original game is a better investment for all-season gameplay and it has really great replay value, so you might want to buy that instead :)
The gameplay is very much like the original Finders Keepers, only there is no Two Player option. Instead of gems, Floyd and Goldie the Cat hunt down Christmas cookies, which are "fed" to the children at the end of each level. There are lots of extras and upgrades which make playing more fun, and the options vary randomly.
There are three levels of play - Normal, Hard and then Master (which is locked until you finish the game in Hard mode). I played in Normal. More points are awarded for difficulty. There are four areas of play: Peppermint Tundra, Ice Floe, Elf Valley and Twilight Valley.
In "Finders", you play through these four areas. This unlocks "Keepers" - like in the original game - where you can select the levels you want to play, so you can omit any you don't like. The screens change so you aren't playing the same scenario over again, which is a great feature and gives seasonal replay value!
Finishing "Finders" also unlocks a bonus game, "Santa", which I didn't enjoy at all. Santa drops presents and coals to nice or naughty children from his sleigh. The controls were awkward and the bonus game was very disappointing.
