I note from the earlier review mentioning this game is a n easier game.
Please remember that Demo's sometimes are too easy and sometimes too hard. Yes it starts off easy which is good but after the demo it gets challenging.

I love the colors and the theme of this game and the whole layout of it.
Some mosaic games can become very boring and nothing to inspire, what more could you ask for than a breath of nature.
If you like this sort of game I am sure you will love this. Enjoy

There are a lot of different things going on here than the normal from this developer.
The graphics are not brilliant but it shows they have made an effort to improve things,

A couple of times I had to try again as I went down the wrong route. Love the granny but not sure about the dodgy guy who pops into places to motivate people.
Quite how he motivates people the mind boggles.
Quite how he motivates people the mind boggles.
I am not sure though if this is CE worthy as there are only 10 extra levels. There is a fairly good strategy guide which is an improvement on what we normally get and the art, well, not impressed.
This was getting quite challenging towards the end of the demo so am in 2 minds as to buy this or wait.
All in I think this is a valiant effort to try and improve things.
I recommend this game!

Having been to a real escape the room challenge I am so in to this sort of thing, however I have to admit I needed a walkthrough to start me off as this game you are on your own basically and have to think. Some of the items you need to click more than once, not sure if thats deliberate or a glitch?
After I had read through what to do I was in a more clearer mind'
What you need to be aware of is that you cannot leave the level half way through without having to start again.
You can open another browser or print out a walkthrough which are available. There are question marks you can click on to highlight the area of search but basically you are on your own.
Your demo will go very quick which is why I suggest you look for walkthroughs first so you can get further in to the game.

This is a very good game and it is extremely challenging.
If you go into this prepared I think you will enjoy.

At first with all the cutie type images you would think this game was totally designed for a younger market and the first 20 levels were extremely easy and gave that idea.
Then it changes, problem is your demo time only takes you to around 20 levels.
For some strange reason I decided to buy this and was glad I did as it becomes really challenging .

It is a shame you can't start at level 20.
Although I liked it it probably will not suit hardened match 3 players .
Had this started with more of a challenge then I would have upped my stars.
There are 250 levels to this so if you have a free game and enjoy match 3 consider this. There are better out there but then there are a lot worse.

First off I have a confession to make, I have never played others in this series but going by previous reviews there are some differences to this game.
First off I love that you can alternate between one up or down, match 2 or add to 14. Some solitaire games I find get pretty boring but I completed the demo and just had to carry on.
There is a lot happening here also you can select to not have hidden object games and play relaxed or increase the difficulty.
Having said that the HO games are very easy, the main challenge is in the solitaire games.

There are various mini games to select here and you can even select a simple battle mode. Others will give you a far better detailed review of this game but for me as Solitaire games go this is very interesting and you can adjust to how you want it.
Try the demo and see if this will suit but for me, it is a buy.
I recommend this game!

There are others whom can describe the ins and outs far better than me but I will give my opinion on how I feel.
I must admit I am enjoying a lot of hopa games and this is no exception.
A lot of thought has gone in to this game , you can set this to as difficult or as easy as you like using the custom setting. The graphics are awesome and I am enjoying the story.
There are more puzzles than Hogs which I know will not suit everyone but I can't help it I just love puzzles. The Hog games so far are very inventive and even incorporates some puzzles inside a Hog game at times.
I finished the demo with 26 mins to spare so you have got time to take in the story without skipping.

I am not a great fan of wallpapers and art but there is a very comprehensive strategy guide,
I was not prepared to wait for the SE as I just had to carry on after the demo. Hopefully you will enjoy this as I know I will,
Take care all
I recommend this game!

For me I find this very interesting and at the moment I am hooked.
There are some who will wish there were more hogs but for me I am a puzzle fiend and find these puzzles very appealing.

I did find however that sometimes I had to click on an item more than once. I was certain I was right so used the hint and it confirmed and after several more clicks it worked.
Usually I would say to skip all the banter to get the most out of your demo, not in this case, you need to know the story so bear with it.
I love that you can custom set the difficulty so you can make it as easy or as hard as you want so if you want it hard but with just the odd help you can do that.
Others are more descriptive about the game than I am, I just give you a few pointers to hopefully put you in the right direction. Enjoy
I recommend this game!

I think we all have to accept that the last 2 games are not like the earlier games and seems to be the way this series will go now.
So what we need to do is to judge it on the actual game play and not what the previous games were like.

When you think about other series that are exactly the same game after game after game and we are all unhappy about that. There are differences in this game and going by what this game offers I am happy
Yes I miss the trains but find this very challenging and it soon gets interesting fighting off the walrus invasion whom very quickly can take over.
So judge this game on its own merits and not what the earlier games were like
I recommend this game!

This developer knows how to challenge you and I always look forward to their games.
For those whom have not played this series before the object of the game is to clear the board
To start, there is no timer, you can take as long as you like. You can choose between match 2 or 3 and what I like about this is you can even change this in the middle of a level. You can even remove the bonuses.
They have added a battering ram and a cannon that you have to hit on the red button to set it off.

This is a very challenging game and may not suit everyone but you can take as long as you like and there is some strategy involved especially as you get further in.
The colors are bright and every level gets slightly harder as
you progress.
By right clicking on an object it will give you an explanation to its function and by clicking the question mark you can review what each item does .

Time for a bit of strategical thinking. Take your time, try the demo and see if you are up for a challenge. Enjoy,I know I will.

One day I may well go there so this game gives me the chance to play games and see the scenery. For me the pictures seem clearer than the previous game and am glad it is not just hogs. The further you get into the game in the same scene and for me it gets easier not harder as the objects never change or move so you just automatically go there. The hint button seems to take forever to fill up' Same style to the other games but of course you have different scenery and info. Its a good game for something to while away an afternoon and you can play relaxed or timer levels .At the moment relaxed will suit me but I may up the ante. Try the demo and see what you think
I recommend this game!
