Nice try, but JUST misses the mark
Gameplaqy a bit Stiff.. & Needs Instructions
Little storyline.. so-so music .. Decent artwork
I've enjoyed Risk since High School & especially in College on paper board, then on to Platforms & then Puters... I was SO hopeful when I saw it on BFG, but the Devs only offered a SUPER- Lite version. AND they seemed to drop the ball in this attempt. :(
Overall, it MIGHT be a fair intro to the Game of Risk, but I cannot recommend further Gameplay beyond Demo
I don't recommend this game.

So-So All around.. Nothing Great, nor F'Nasty either
Easy to Learn Simple M3
Slower paced than most.. on the edge of boring... On the Edge....
If you have a stray credit... maybe buy (i did)
Enjoyable at least for the Demo

Nothing New... & it only took them HOW long to Re-process the SOS?
If you are new to Bejeweled, or Match 3 it is a Dandy Match 3 Game
Fantastic Graphics..music a bit much after a few minutes
Multiple Game Modes & Oh, by the way.. "JUST" what I need.. (To see an instant Replay of the move I just made)
I'm going to have to Pass on this one, but Like I said, if you are new to Bejeweled or M3, give it a go

Excellent Graphics & Sound
Challenging Fun, with a diverse array of different Game Mechanics (easy to learn)
Story is .. Playing each different board, unlocks the next door as you try to Escape the Cursed House.. Whereas in 1st, you deco-ed house.
It's challenging.. will return to complete Demo at Least before buying (but it's Late now & I gettinzzzzzz)
I recommend this game!

Career Type game where you Earn Learn & Deco... WITH a Fun Twist ..
The Major difference between this one and other Similar games is the Setting.. Dark & Spooky town.
Eerie music & spare graphics. ..
FUN Game.. I snapped it up after only a few minutes into the Demo
Very much more Info in my Review, would, I believe spoil Your fun

Really Fun.. Music just OK, Offed it after a bit for outside input
Graphics Ok.. Cool car designs
Simple Match 3 Game mechanics.. Easy to learn.. More challenging as Game progresses
Collect gems to earn Ca$h to purchase better cars & to power up your Turbo/NOX (booster) during play.
((I fingerd that out, as Game lacked Instruction))
Try the Demo I burned a credit to pick it up for a Change from other games I play
I recommend this game!

Was having so much FUN I bought between Levels before Demo expired
Cute storyline & un-horrid music, with typical cartoony graphics as in other 7-W titles
4 Modes of Play, ranging from Zen (untimed) to Insane (too skeerded to try that one :> )
Easy to learn.. Typical Match 3 mechanics.. You match & drop to bottom in order to build Wonders
Achievements & Gold unlock items for your Village
** I like that you can move (x-out, then replace) Village Decorations.. More freedom in deco placement**
Give it a Go :>
I recommend this game!

*This version is like "Life Lite".
*There seems to be less player participation in this version than in Disc, or Platform (or Board) versions.
*Visuals and Music are kind of "meh", but music loop is boring/annoying after a bit
** It seemed to be kind of like..Spin & Hold on, then read results.. Felt as though I had no ACTIVE participation in the game
**Also, there was no Complete Zoom-out so you could see the whole board.. No sense of perspective
***Lack of Player Control
In my opinion, I would be hard pressed to even buy as a Daily Deal
I don't recommend this game.

Easy to learn, more challenging to master
Free to Play, MAY buy upgrades, or EARN them in game.If you have the patience, you may earn the upgrades, if not, they may be purchased with IRL Ca$h.
You defend against more in numbers and increasing in difficulty Enemies as game progresses
As stated, easy to learn game mechanics.. Music & graphics, so-so... not Awful.
One of the most enjoyable of this type game I've played
I recommend this game!

If One were new to Match 3's there might be a bit of a problem in that there is little to No instruction.
For others, it is a pretty straightforward little M3.. I only played a few minutes before burning a stray credit
I played in Relaxed Mode, but I think I could have easily done Timed. Reminiscent of Cradle of Rome & Persia Games.... Generic Swapper, (( I believe other gameplay styles unlocked as you progress)), with "Build your Community", in stages.
My only Con is that even in Fullscreen, the gameplay board is Tee_Niney!!..('tis indeed wee) Might be a challenge to us Old, half-blind far--Folks :)
Music & Graphics Ok,.. Challenge... Meh... Just a relaxing game
I recommend this game!
