Looks like I would enjoy this... BUT NO MAGNIFYING GLASS

One of the instructions said "swipe right" to get Magnifier. BUT, I play this on DESKTOP, there is NO "SWIPING AT ALL on THIS". I tried double clicking, right mouse clicking, clicking on the picture of the magnifier bottom right, but that ended up being the "super clue" and NOT magnifier.
My first scene I saw all, but hesitate to play ANY standard H/O WITHOUT ANY MAGNIFIER available.
Gather your courage for this mystical journey to a distant world!

I am, again, unable to buy ANY of the games I wanted to today. BF Manager just keeps getting worse.
Come along for an awe-inspiring trip around the world!

make finding several of the objects unfairly hidden (at least for me). Magnifying glass still too small to be of much help.
Too bad for me, because I like many of the H/O games in this series, but developer doesn't listen to subscribers' comments of problems. But others may not have a problem with these, so I'm sure you know by now if you like the series.
Quell the volcano and save your family in this unique Match-3 game with modern design and aesthetics!

...LET US 'SKIP DIALOGUE' in 'OPTIONS' . They're just annoying to many of us.
They DID seem to remove the VERY SLOW TOWER CLIMBS at each level in their previous in the series. It seemed to take soo long to move up to the next tower level for no particular reason.
I had no trouble with the graphics and backgrounds in this one, whereas I DID have slight difficulty finding remaining tiles that need to be clear in the previous ones.
So give this a chance to see if it is something you would enjoy.
My biggest two problems with BF are: 1) the lack of new good M3 games; and 2) My Game Manager is so glitchy, it takes me 5 min to buy a game. And they seemed to cancel my 4 "coupon codes for free game", but replaced them with points instead (not a problem but no clarification). And they have now made me ok their lengthy legal requirements each time I activate Game Manager (4 times so far). So their "upgrades" have just made most things worse.

Too many H/O way too SMALL AND DARK

...EVEN with the POOR MAGNIFIER. I stopped playing at 2nd LEVEL when it would NOT RECOGNIZE a “BAT” listed to find, INSTEAD when click HINT, showed TEENSY VERY DARK ANIMAL BAT – WAY TOO MANY OTHERS that EVEN WITH EXTRA ZOOM are too TINY AND DARKLY HIDDEN – VERY ANNOYING!!
It's such a shame as I love both the cats and dogs concept.. but h/o games are supposed to be fairly displayed enough so that at least you could recognize them when you zoomed over.
But apparently many other reviewers didn't have a problem with this, so you need to choose for yourself.

As cute as it is for what it is, it is a little boring doing almost exactly the same "click on moving marbles that match the stationary ones". I've only completed about 8 levels, but they are all the same.
Perhaps this changes in later levels in the game. But I'm still unclear WHY THIS IS LISTED as "NEW" when it looks like the EXACT SAME CE GAME that was listed as "NEW" ONE MONTH AGO.
As so many other gamers of Big Fish have said, the "new programs" have dwindled to a very few good ones, their Game Manager just keeps getting worse and very glitchy, and their "New format" listings eliminate the fun of allowing members only to view/buy "tomorrow's game" AND the ability to buy older, but fun games we may have missed previously, at a discounted price.

Had lots of potential... but way too repetitive

It took me 20 minutes to complete the 3rd level because I had to click the trees and bushes 30+ times to get enough to complete all the tasks. Even worse, I had to wait too long for trees to grow so I could get more wood, so I sat here doing nothing since all other tasks were completed.
BUT, I was hoping I could have completed the round faster if I could find some 'get-arounds' if I buy the game that will keep me from having to keep repeating same actions over and over again for 15 minutes.
So I actually liked the rest enough to buy.. except for the continuing problems I've had with Big Fish Game Manager, which already had too many problems in the last few months - and now is so much worse with their "new improved format" that I am unable to buy any game now as, after 5 minutes waiting for the 'order screen' to appear, it finally says "close and sign in, then retry." But it shows I am already signed in.
A royally challenging match-3 adventure in time!

...I would love Suricate to make some improvements in future M3 games.
1) If you accumulate lots of available powerups during one level, but do NOT USE them, you LOSE THEM when you play the next level. Not fair.
2) Though I especially love the scenes in their TWILIGHT M3, I got really tired of gorgeous landscape scenes that are covered up by unattractive castles in almost all of their other M3 series. Especially true in this one where you HAVE to build the ENTIRE CASTLE in the first scene, and use all your bonus STARS for lots of crows, BEFORE you can upgrade the REMAINING SCENES, which in this one, are garish castle rooms (though I love the cats).
3) In this game, they use the "need to MATCH 3+ DIAMONDS (or rubies, etc.) right next to the block to break it way too many times. This is just tedious, mostly just luck deleting tiles until that specific gem falls close enough (or you just blast them).
4) Several of the power-ups are placed randomly when you use them. And, so far, their placement when I have used them are no help at all. So I only use the bomb and fireball, which I can place.
I STILL LOVE THEIR MATCH 3 GAMES - and definitely prefer them over their very cumbersome, annoying long play of their Solitaire games that require almost no thought or skill, just lots of blocks and changing number cards frequently requiring 2+ decks to go through just to make matches.
I recommend this game!

I'm sorry for reviewing this without more than quick check. But this looks so cute and I LOVE Amusement Park Games (DREAM BUILDER: AMUSEMENT PARK A TOP FAVORITE). Though the goal is different here, fun idea and Magnusoft are Pros at good game play, so I didn't hesitate to buy.
I recommend this game!
If you are a virtual bird but love adventure too, this game is just for you.

LOVED THE SCENES...BUT NOT THE GAME PLAY

1) Is it just me, or are there NO MAGNIFYING GLASSES in any level? Makes locating some of the items too difficult; 2) HATE been FORCED to play H/O games in SCRAMBLED mode (or most other modes than regular word mode; 3) the PUZZLE mode has 20? tiles very similar
IF they had a MAGNIFIER AND the ABILITY To SWITCH to NORMAL WORD MODE, I would have bought this in an instant as the SCENES ARE STUNNING!!!!
So, for those of you much better at this than I am, this is probably very enjoyable for you.
