Really wanted it like it but there didn't seem to be point to anything you can do. You can build more floors but no challenge to that. You can dress the characters but why? Mostly didn't like because it ran very slowly and the swapping was really slugish.
I don't recommend this game.

I purchased and love this game. It has great length, requires thought and planing at the higher levels of puzzles. a high variety of match 3 play and pretty artwork. I've been playing for hours and hours and a not even half way through.
Please sample for yourself. Some of the negative reviews see to be from people who only played for a few minutes or just didn't pay attention to the basic strategies. None of the puzzles are difficult to understand the basic play, just difficult to conquer but not so frustrating as to be impossible.

I really like this sort of game but this was lacking in any of the humor they usually include and it became virtually impossible by only level 2! I like a challenge but I prefer it to build up as you learn the game, not start off so frustrating that all the fun is gone. Ditto on other reviews re: command buttons not working all the time and really hate having to start over from the beginning when you "die". Sorry not a buy or even full demo for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't know why others had a hard time learning to play, I found it very easy except for the upgrades, that needed more explanation but I figured it out. Graphics could be better but overall it was a fun game. Please give it a chance, don't be dissuaded by the negative comments, just pay attention at the beginning.
I recommend this game!

I love farming games but this one had me deleting the demo after level 2 simply because it is very difficult to play on a laptop due to the virtual impossibility of catching the fox. The addition of having to catch predators is what I disliked the most in the FF series. Too bad, good TM games a few and far between on BF and I was looking forward to a good new game.
I don't recommend this game.

Great game, all the longevity of the virtual villagers series with way better graphics, more play and none of the annoying waiting or depressing funerals. Amazing game, weeks of fun here. Major kudos to the devs - excellent work!

I like solitaire games and have purchased a couple to keep on hand for when I want a quiet, slow paced game. I had higher hopes for this one thinking there would be more to the story part of the game but there was minimal story here. Lacking that addition to the game play, its just another basic card game, yawn.

Fun, quirky game with funny dialog and great graphics. I recommend learning how to use the map flag right away to avoid frustration. A note pad is also helpful to make it easier to find houses again once you collect the necessary items. I think if you like Wandering Willows you'll love this one too. Days of fun with this game. I just wish the devs would have used voices for the characters.
I recommend this game!

What an interesting and challenging take on match three! No timer, at least not as far as I got in the trial. Take your time and plan your moves. Very challenging but not in a stressful way. I really liked this interesting take on match three. Nice to have to think a little but still play in a relaxing manner.
I recommend this game!

I generally demo this sort of game and save for when I need to waste some time but this one really had me interested. Hint system is very helpful, graphics are very nice and objects are well hidden often but not invisible or tiny. As for buying, I usually only buy games with lots of replayability, but I'm tempted with this one. Depends on game length.
I recommend this game!
