I love the Match 3 Games that reward your successful game play with creative bonuses (like Fishdom 3, etc. but with more fun game play).
THIS GAME is PERFECT as: 1) your 'Reward' is building a gorgeous Garden. You choose each type of plant, or pond, park bench, stone path...), where to place them and, once placed, the little people start walking along the path enjoying each addition to your garden layout.
2) The game play is very cute and fun, challenging but so far most levels completed in 5-12 minutes. Lots of cute power pieces (like bee's that swarm to remove a specific type of tile, or large hammer that breaks the walls).
3) Their mini-games (accessible every 6 levels or so) are actually fun for me, which is unusual. The send the ladybug along the path to the flower, find all the birds, match same two tiles...) are all fairly quick and give you lots of extra money to buy more garden items.
I usually rotate 5-6 games one level for each at a time every day. This is the FIRST game that I end up playing over 10 levels at the same time it is so addictive!
I was having such fun building my aquariums, adding fish and decorations....UNTIL Level 153 and ON from there. Google others' complaints of people trying over 40 times to finish Level 153. Essentially you are almost completely dependent upon how the icons first appear on the screen to determine how many repeated, boring times you will spend trying to finish Level 53. And, because you cannot skip levels OR BUY any additional power-ups, you are simply stuck playing levels over...and over...and over again... while you just get more frustrated and your poor fish are just waiting for their next aquarium enhancement.
Really fun from start to finish. Nice challenges where you need to change strategy for different levels. GREAT FEATURE is ONE SCREEN PER LEVEL...AND CAN FINISH LEVEL in 5 to 12 minutes, so this is PERFECT FOR QUICK FUN BREAK TIME! Cute graphics and music.
This is such a great game to play. The ?icons are really CLEAN AND CUTE, the different boards per level challenging and fun, as is building up enough gold to buy EACH NEW powerup. And the BEST PART is looking forward to their FABULOUS SCENES you build up at the end of each level. The Twilight Scenes are MAGICAL, especially with the animations. So I anxiously await every new scene to see what they've come up with.
The developers of all these Jewel Match Games (both the Solitaire AND the Match) have done an exceptional job in creating a wonderful, overall experience.
I especially LOVE BOTH the TWILIGHTS (Solitaire and Match 3) as well as Jewel Match Solitaire L'Amour, the Jewel Match Solitaire Collector's Edition and the first Jewel Match Royale. A few others are ok, but Naturescapes would have been among my favorites IF they didn't include a few out-of-character sculptures in a few of their scenes.
I hope these guys continue to create games with so much imagination that have delighted me so far. THANK YOU GUYS!
