I like these games and glad to say that this newest from the developer has some of the previous power ups like the rockets and bombs (and the lock and key that I especially enjoy) but also some new tasks. It is very colorful with fun music and strategy becomes more important as the levels progress. Glad to say this game has the same quality as the Seasons and Halloween games and I have been enoying it off and on throughout the day.
I recommend this game!

I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. That doesn't mean I don't grumble about the constant "conflicts" and how I believe the demons are given an unfair advantage. But I love the story and it goes perfectly with a Match 3 game. There is a lot of subtle humor from the characters and being a woman, I love that a young woman student is braver than any of those huge muscle men! I really loved the original Cave Quest and didn't expect to like this one but I do, and now I finished and I'm about to go on the quest for the 6th time. Cannot wait to see what the Developers do for the next one!
I recommend this game!

I liked this game so much (liked the Treffenburg game but not the Christmas one so much). The story was interesting, learned something about the country and the antiques, and so glad that the characters were once again given different facial expressions to match the dialog. I have played hidden object games for years but appreciate calmer games like this one where the player doesn't have to rush madly around. I enjoy the art and bits of conservancy information and the characters are all somewhat quirky but interesting. Looking forward to Mia's next trip!
I recommend this game!

Love this game! Loved the first one (Treffenberg) too but not the Christmas one. Fortunately, this game is back on track with antiques and things to learn, a wide variety of characters (whose facial expressions change as they "speak") and a bit of a mystery. Looking forward to the next one!

Fun solitaire game that I played a good part of my game-playing time yesterday. Playtinum always adds something special to their games and this one, although a typical solitaire game, presents the hidden objects and other puzzles in a different way, creating a story that gives the mind something to think about besides what is often mindless (but fun anyway) clicking. Although I played a few hours, off and on, I'm still at the first scene and looking forward to playing more today. Trial it, if you like solitaire games, and see...
I recommend this game!

So excited to see this game when I clicked on my PC. I've lately been addicted to the Developer's 2 games (Season Marbles Autumn and Summer) and I like Quadrium but don't like the inane clicking required every 40 levels. Anyway, this is very much like the Seasons games but there are Halloween-themed tokens and some new types of power-ups. I bought the game, of course, but still only on an early level that has become a bit challenging--which I like--even though I am playing the easier level. Hope we get one of these for Thanksgiving and Christmas too!
I recommend this game!
ClearIt is back with a new set of challenging puzzles! Enjoy a variety of challenges with varying levels of complexity.

Yes, it is the same exact game but in all fairness, will mention a few differences. Music is always my favorite part of a game. This time there was an almost-full length recording of my favorite from the previous game and there were other good tunes too. I only played a few levels in the second group (I usually like 4 colors or more) but the squares are elongated instead of perfectly square (ok, you can laugh) and there is now a pitchfork thingy that will let you take out an entire line of marbles that will be useful in the more difficult levels. I have a few coupons so will buy it.I think some of these games become "traditional" like Fantasy Mosaics. They're the same but different and I've bought my 40th game there and will probably buy this game for as long as they make it...
I recommend this game!
Your globe-trotting journey continues in this colorful Around the World Mosaics sequel!

Enjoying this game a lot! I like being able to choose from 3 countries before each game, as well as the size (10x15, 15x15, etc.) and the little snippets of trivia about each country. What I like the most is being able to choose a pattern to overlay the color squares so that white squares do not blend in with the beige background. The music is World Music and the difficulty is just right for these trying times: enough to keep me occupied but not frustratingly hard. Recommended!
I recommend this game!
Try this challenging and unique set of marble puzzles and see if you can use tactical thinking to clear the board of orbs!

I really like this game. I, too, noticed the resemblance to Quadrium but it is more a Match 3. I am playing Easy right now but will switch to the more difficult. I am glad to say that unlike Quadrium (which I like) there seems not to be a Monster puzzle where the player clicks repeatedly. My hands just can't manage that type of puzzle anymore. So this will be my favorite game now!
I recommend this game!

I like this game a lot! Maybe I'm different that when I play games I like to move around, think about the story, not just mindlessly click on objects (although that's a bit fun at times). Played most of the trial and that's a surprise because I usually either buy a game or quit the trial in the first 5 minutes. My big worry is that I'm rat-phobic and worried that there will be rats since there is a rather large one scurrying across the screen at the beginning. But I think I'll take my chances. I find there aren't too many games I like anymore and this one gives me a chance to think and participate in the action.
I recommend this game!
