This game was an instant no buy for me. As soon as I understood there was no option except limited moves I was gone. Might be a good game but why do developers not give a choice? Some of us, me included, hate limited moves. How many more of this game could have been sold simply by adding a relaxed game play option?
This latest Laruaville is the best yet!!!! Game play is more challenging but so fun. Our favorite ghosts have returned to conquer another challenge. To top it off, there are many bonus levels which I love. I'm not usually a big fan of match 3 games but Laruaville, Spellarium and Cursed House are so much more than Match 3. Awesome games to play. Sure hope the developers keep these going.
There are very few games I buy before the hours trial. This series is one of them. The mosaics are logic based. I rarely need to use a hint. The characters are cute and funny. Overall, it is a delightful mosaic game. The other games I buy without trial are Fantasy Mosaics, Laruaville, and Cursed House.

Imperial Island 4 and Save Halloween 2 were a lot of fun to play. This one, so far, is fun but not as good. I have played the first hour and it is all coins. Where are the scrolls? The ghosts? Anything but more coins. Almost feels like I am playing the same level over and over. That said, overall it is a fun game just not on a par with the other two.

Jewel match solitaire is one of my more favorite games and this one does not disappoint. The scenes you get to create are lovely, the game play is good. The only thing is I wish you could get more gold much more quickly. Takes awhile to earn enough for even one power-up. Can be near the third quarter of the game before enough gold to buy all the power-ups and wild cards.

First of all I really do not like limited moves games. Like most this one starts out easy then get to where there are not enough moves. I play to relax and I think relaxed play should always be an option. There is no building, nothing, just one board of the same sort of thing after another. Not worth buying.

I loved the first Antique Road Show. This one is not as much fun. Too much of trying to find objects inside other objects. Even the mini games were much more difficult. This one is a no buy for me. Went from a simple, fun, hidden object game to this. Not an improvement.
I loved the castles and the basic game play was good. But I play relaxed. However that does not seem to be an option for the small games where you are trying to get stars to do the statues and such for the castles. There you get either limited moves or limited time. The only ones I could win were the races which only get you one star. I really preferred the garden where you could always get a star or two.

The story line seemed interesting enough- bad guy versus good guy but that is about the only positive thing I can say. After the first few levels the boards were overwhelming. So many things locked. I could see where in future levels it could easily take 10-20 minutes to play a level. While some may enjoy the struggle to pass a level that is not for me. I far prefer games where there are on board power ups and you can create multiple matches at once. I struggled through 45 minutes and deleted the game.

A few things I really disliked. Numbers are not crossed off as you get them. Right from the start the numbers are tiny. The boards start at over 20 by 20. I can't even imagine how big they get and how tiny the numbers get in higher levels. Too easy to make mistakes when numbers are tiny and not crossed off.
