I wanted to like this game. It was cute and fun but the limited moves is not okay with me. Also for the first several levels all I did was watch the game play itself. Then on the higher levels I kept running out of moves. So this game is a no buy for me. I gave it an hour but at the end of the trial it was a definite No.

This is a big improvement over the last chapter. That one seemed like a cookie cutter more of the same thing game.I rejected it as a buy. But I decided to give this version a chance and it is much improved. This one has the building improvements of the castle and several more varieties of games. To me the story line makes little or no sense. But I don't need a good story to enjoy a game.
These are great mosaic style games. They are logical and don't require guessing. Another thing I love about Fantasy Mosaics is the puzzles are mini scenes not just a single object. The colors are great, you choose your own preference. As long as Fantasy Mosaics comes out with new games I will buy.
Mostly I enjoyed the game a lot. However, most of the pictures I created had nothing at all to do with Christmas. That was disappointing. The main background was very much Christmas which is why I gave it three stars instead of two. Secondly, when I click on system cursor I want system cursor not a smaller version of the cursor you created. Irritating. The robot is cute and funny. I do wish he showed up more than every 20 levels or so. Add in some mini games and this would be a great series.

I have tried travel mosaics before and did not like but thought I would give it another chance. Nope still not even close to the level of other mosaic games that are similar. First of all it starts out too easy. But those puzzle games at the end of each level have no directions. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Secondly, the pictures you create are not identified and I had no clue what that was I had just created about 80% of the time. Third and last objection, these become quite difficult fairly quickly but you have to get 2 or more stars are every mosaic to advance. Unlike my two favorite mosaic games there is nothing that is created. Just the same thing over and over. Definitely a no buy for me.
After only a few minutes into the game I needed a hint. Yeah the hint lasts for maybe 2 sec.Hard to see what is is hinting at. The scenes are very cluttered. The objects are small. I have all the other Christmas Wonderland series but this one is a no buy for me
Same jewel match as the others, really nothing new except you are creating gardens instead of castles. The levels are long. It takes awhile to finish each one then you go on to the garden as you did in all the other jewel match games. If you have other jewel match games there is little point in buying this one unless you have an overwhelming urge to create gardens instead of castles.
I enjoy being able to choose the designs I like. The game play is not too difficult and there are plenty of power-ups to help. Mostly, for me it is being able to design a room the way I would like it. If money were not an issue- you can always earn more- how would you want this room to look? That's fun. I have had no issues with the game itself. It has run smoothly.
In a lot of the puzzles the colors were blurry and hard to see. Also I simply do not care for the format. The little dots that were markable places were almost the same color as those that had been marked. The developers looked to me as if they put a lot less time and effort into the game than a really good mosaic game requires.
I simply do not buy timed or limited moves game. I want to relax not stress. I thought the graphics were cute and the game play seemed smooth but the limited moves was a killer for me to purchase. If you are the type who likes limited moves you will probably really enjoy this game.
