Got to the first screen - limited moves. Nope! Deleted the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Yet another game that is too dark for me to see on my monitor without putting the room in blackout mode. Guess that's okay in this situation because the color palette is so off-putting I wouldn't buy the game anyway. The story line is not the least bit creative. In my opinion there is nothing much to like about this game.
I don't recommend this game.

This was, in my opinion, a stupid game. Stupid premise poorly executed. My advice, after playing all of the beta version I could stand, was to throw it out and start all over again. Looks like no one took my advice.
I don't recommend this game.

... is a prime decision maker in passing on purchasing this game. Additionally, the movement of the items every 10 seconds is just plain irritating. It wouldn't be objectionable if, like other games of this type, it occurred in an occasional round. But, from the short time I played, it appeared that the movement was set to occur in every round. Then there are all the stars and other things cluttering up the view. Time must be wasted getting rid of all that detritus. I could go on and on but I'll just move on to another game, thank you.
I don't recommend this game.

This game may not suit many but, to my thinking, it beats the too dark, literally and figuratively, dreck that has been offered the past few weeks.
In part because of my dark monitor, I'm always in favor of light and bright colors, regardless of subject, over dark.
Yes, the accents are abysmal (the aforementioned "Lion" for Lyon is a great example) but this isn't a Shakesperean play, it's a little game.
I dislike paranormal games but I'll buy this one because it's the first HOP game in several weeks that I've found the least bit appealing and viewable.
I recommend this game!

I prefer the other Clutter games but this one is acceptable. EXCEPT for the fact that timed levels are not an option. If you fail to finish in the given amount of time you have to start over. Nope, not going to start over and not going to buy this game for that one reason. Had there been an option to turn off the timer I would have purchased it.
I don't recommend this game.

Butterfly? Really? Where? Oh, down there in the dark. Yes, I know my monitor is dark but goodness sakes, objects should be cleverly hidden not so dark you can't find them even with the hint. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I don't recommend this game.

No one can match the original for quality and entertainment value.
My chief complaint about this game is the graphics are just blurry enough to be very irritating.
I don't see the point of having a timer. This one doesn't keep you from completing the scene but it's also irritating. I do not like timers, period.
Then there is the too big string of letters. One must scroll back and forth. Not good.
Oh and awkward wording like "... leave our lives to our husbands." Huh?
This game can't hold a candle to Vacation Adventures.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the beta version and really enjoyed it. For me it's been a long dry spell since there was an HOP game I wanted to purchase. Thank you developers!
BTW some of us like fuzzy helpers.
