If you are not a lover of your veggies you can now send your very own cat ninja to get rid of them for you but he also gets rid of your burgers, jellies and ice cream too..
From the team who bought us the wonderful Claws and Feathers games comes this wonderful match 3 game although it is actually a match 2 despite being referred to as match 3.
The earlier games were match 3 and I found that more of a challenge, having said that this is also very challenging.
There are 3 level modes easy , normal and hard.
The easy level gives you 9 lives and less opponents
Normal , 5 lives and more opponents and
hard gives you 3 lives and even more opponents.
The great thing about this is you can change the levels at any time you want without having to start a new game and once you have played that level you can return to it and improve lives lost at any time.
So your ninja cat is chopping up various veg, jellies, burgers etc and this does become really challenging the further in to the game you get and every now and then along comes a boss to deal with.
If you have played Claws and Feathers before you should be used to how this game works , if not it may take a bit of time to get in to the swing of things.
For me this is a winner and nice to have a different match 3 (2). there is no time limit or limited moves but the different life modes can make it more challenging if you so wish.
It is not going to suit everyone but for me it is a winner.
I recommend this game!

The CE of this game got a lot of negative reviews and most of those reviews were based on 5 or 10 minutes of the demo.
The demo of this game does not really show the full potential, yes it starts off very easy but it is a puzzler's dream the further in to this game you get.
For those who Bought the CE please check your updates in your game manager as the update includes sections that were missing.
There is now in the CE version and NOT here, a strategy guide. wallpapers and music and acheivements.
There are more levels in the CE they were just added on to the end of the game but if you compare the two you will see this.
I am now glad I bought the CE since the upgrade.
Apart from the easy start my main complaint with this game is there are no profiles, so you can not put your name or make another profile.
Be very careful with this as there is a start a new game option. Go for that and you lose all your previous progress.
If only you could have more than one profile.
This game has a lot of potential it just needs some refining.
Check other reviews from the CE remembering what I said re the negative ones. Also there is way too much narrative in this but you can skip it.
I recommend this game!

I have a lot of this developers games and although the mechanics are a bit similar they have added enough to keep me happy.
And this year My Halloween will likely be in lockdown so no trick or treaters to look forward too.
I love they have added mini games and the first one involves finding creatures etc in a 3d scene which I really enjoyed.
8 mini games are spread through the game.
For me the graphics to the match 3 seem clearer and they have managed to make this a very enjoyable Halloween journey. You can even change the items you buy free of charge lol.
Try the demo but do not give up after 5 minutes as it does improve and a warning, spiders galore in this one ,
For me, a great game.
I recommend this game!

Ok. first off, I appreciate BF putting a different type of game up.
Not the usual TM's Hopas. paint etc
One thing with me I like different. The thing is we all like different things and I for one find this right up my street. For me it is challenging and certainly not something I would label garbage.
There are certain games that I do not like at all such as art games, that is me but I certainly would not label them garbage .
I know a few developers who rely on reviews to be able to adapt their games as they care about their players. They also do get a bit down when they get bad reviews and they immediately think, where did I go wrong and what can I do to put it right.
In this case this is a game that will appeal to a certain type of people, some will like it, some won't but I think it is a bit unfair to label a game garbage and give it 1 star.
What I will say is take note of the more positive reviews, play the demo and try for yourself.
If you hate a game that much then do not comment or give a comprehensive review as to why you hate a game.
This takes some getting used to and Pennmom has described this game perfectly. It is not going to please everyone but for me,it is great.
I recommend this game!

I agree with everything the others are saying but and maybe its me,one thing that really annoys me about these games which spoils my enjoyment if there ever is any, is that every time you place a piece, the screen flashes.
Maybe those with better eyesight do not mind that but for me I just do not see the point in having this flashing and I end up with sore eyes.
Last time I gave this Dev a 3 star because I just looked at the positives and myself and others mentioned this flashing and true to form with this Dev, they did not take any notice,
Sorry guys, back to 1 star
I don't recommend this game.

I have all of this developers games and they are one of the best at everything they take on. From Solitaire,Match 3 to mosaics.
They really take their games seriously and whats even better, they listen and take on what the reviews say. Even the ones that criticise.
They then look in to what they can do to make their games more enjoyable.
Others will have mentioned the ins and outs of this game so I will not go there.
I will admit I am not a great lover of Mosaic games as I find they bore me very quickly or are too hard for me but this game is not too hard, not too easy, it is just right for me.
What I like about the story line is you can skip it but then return to any section of it in the options.
It really is a well thought out game and if you want to see something added, just ask and I am confident they will look in to it.
I recommend this game!

I have the previous game and at first you may think it is exactly the same, same music, which incidentally I do not mind at all.
I know it is a Halloween theme but I am glad it does not have creepy music.
This developer has been listening as we now have a changeable curser plus you can replay the level as it now gives you the option at the end of each level but beware , if you decline that you can not return afterwards.
This is great for those who wish to replay the level and better their score.
There are some minor differences in features but all the levels are different and I wanted to play well in to the game before I gave my review.
I like that the power ups are limited and you do not have power ups that will wipe out a vast area of the game plus you can not remove cauldrons by explosion either which for me is good and just adds more to the challenge.
I really only use the shuffle which I find a great help when running out of moves plus you still have to figure it out.
The further in the more complex the game becomes and mainly I use relaxed but you can switch between the other modes and make other adjustments to get the game you want.
I find this very handy.
Now on to the usual question, is it CE worthy ?
For me yes.50 extra levels is a lot and the levels are becoming more involved and take longer so that alone is well worth it. This is just my opinion.
You have extra mini games, and also wallpapers that I can do without but what I do not like is you can not access any of this until you have completed the first 100 levels, not a fan of that.
When you pay extra for a CE you should be able to access things like wallpapers, mini games earlier but many Dev's are guilty of this.
Overall this game is just right for me. As I am always saying we are all different so this is not going to suit everyone but at least it is not the same old mechanics game after game after game.
Try the demo and see what you think. Several games lately, I have wanted to keep playing until I finish and this is no exception.
I recommend this game!

Bit of a strange title I know but there is a good reason.
I like something different and this game is different to what we normally get on here so well done for that.
A pinball game with a difference ,I am not a great lover of normal pinball as I get bored quickly but this takes you on an adventure and you progress through different scenes although there are only 9 of them.
I find it a bit awkward on my laptop as you need to use the up down left right buttons as the mouse does not work at all on here.
This game first came out in 2015 so hardly a new game but it is a new genre here.
At first I really enjoyed it but then after the first few levels I hit a problem for me.
I and I expect many others are not the quickest to respond with the flippers.
This would have been ok but for one major thing for me.
There are only 3 balls then thats it you have to restart the level.
I have played other pinball games where you can increase the amount of balls you have but there is no option here to do that neither is there a relaxed mode, you just get the 3 balls and I found this so frustrating the further you get in the game.
Constantly having to replay the same level over and over again is not my idea of fun.
If you are used to pinball then you should be ok but I just could not get any further than level 6.
I do feel they should have factored this in as I really like the concept of it but it is let down by the constant pressure that you only have 3 balls.
A great shame as I like combatting the owls.
Try it out you may like it.
As this game is 6 years old I very much doubt they will update it.

Not often I give this producer credit but this is not a bad game, it's not up there with the best and it is a similar copy to the other rescue series maybe due to the fact that Game on were the developers here who were also involved in that other series.
This is very confusing at first as there is so much going on right from the start and you need to get your head round this .
You need to get a build up of supplies from each building then destroy them and build others. You constantly need to get the helicopter deliveries coming in and the debris too although why you need debris to build buidings beats me ?
There are two levels ,timed and untimed and you can change from one to the other which I liked.
There is a strategy guide despite it not being mentioned in the write up.
This is not as polished as the other series and it can be confusing. The trick is to get in to a system of what to build first then knock down and you should be ok. Maybe an idea to start off in relaxed then try time later , you can go back to levels as well so you could keep it in timed as the level does not stop if you run out of time then return to get your 3 stars at a later time.
It is not my favorite rescue series but I enjoyed it .
Try the demo out but bear in mind you need to work out a routine . Its much better than what usually comes our way from this producer.
I recommend this game!

Following on from an earlier game which got many reviews of 1 star claiming it was a child's game after 10 or so minutes of play when it was far from it, I once again reiterate that you need to play the whole demo.
This is a fantastic game but it is different and takes a bit of getting used to and yes it does have a childish feel but it is a fairy tale for adults, not children.
It is not really a hidden object game more a puzzle adventure game I just wish it would be called that and not hidden object. There are no actual hidden object scenes as you would expect in a proper HO game.
Do not let that put you off
This is retro in style which I like and there are no robot helpers and sparkles for every object you just need to click around but there are clues from Anna and if you hover over the objects you need to find, more hints are given.
There is also blue petals to find which when you have 5 will give you a clue.
The puzzles are quite difficult at times but you can skip them.
This may start off easy but it does get far behind a game for children.
It is a real challenge in a fantasy world and you can just take your time.
It is not going to suit everyone but I love it and am sure others will.
A little tip here which had me very confused and I ended up using a walkthrough to help me out.
You come across a saxaphone that when you operate it lets out musical notes. Will not say what to do only that the musical notes are a red herring.
As said if you are stuck there are some walkthroughs around.
For me this is such a great game and once you get used to it you should be fine.
Try the demo and it is important that you play the whole demo but for me this is an amazing game.
This is a relaxing game so if you are somone whom prefers more action this may not be suitable as we are all different.
Some like one thing and some do not.
Boring world if we all liked the same
I recommend this game!
