It's a fun game with some new twists on the time management genre, but you can't get past level 11 because a quarter of the screen is completely black. I'd recommend it without the bug.
I have every single Clutter game and play them over and over. This one is my least favorite. I think Joe has jumped the shark with too much of everything. The number puzzles are boring and I couldn't figure out the mirrored ones. And too many instructions and many, many icons to figure out what you're looking for. A real miss for me after many hits.
Penmom is right, the timer is way too stingy for the tasks you have to complete. There is no way to get past level 27 at all, much less to earn any stars. Many of the levels are just plain tedious. Wish I could get my money back on this one.

But the backgrounds are so dark it's too much strain on my eyes to make out the pieces. I didn't find any way to change or lighten the background. Also the pieces seem to be already in the right orientation, which made it a little too easy for me. Can't really comment on the story line because I only lasted 5 minutes.
The spaces to color are so tiny, it's a real eye strain to see what the numbers are. You can enlarge the picture, but there's no way to move it so all of it's visible when you do, totally defeating the benefit of enlargement. Not easy to tell which color you're working with at any given time. There are much better paint by number apps available and for free.
I kept having deja vu while playing the demo, and sure enough I played it here last year. Nothing wrong with it, but it's an old game BFG has recycled.
This is a variation of Parcheesi. You move your four game pieces from your "nest" with a dice roll of 6 only, then around the board and back up to home in the middle just like in Parcheesi. There are only extra turns for a roll of 6 - no extras for making it to the end or for hitting another player. And there are no "safe" spots or blocking by putting two of your men on a spot. You can play with other humans or against the computer and can play with one, two, or three opponents. I played two human positions against 2 computers and it took about 30 minutes to complete a game. A little tedious without the extras of Parcheesi, and no variations in game play available. The game board is big and bright and rotates to face you when it's your turn. It's a no buy for me but I might consider it if I didn't already have a better game that I got as a free app.
I recommend this game!

I am in the minority here, but I am really tired of just about everything in this game, including birds that we have to bribe to get something (can't we just shoo them away? After all, we're a lot bigger) and please, developers, let's lose Simon Says forever! I am not a fan either of a task that has to be urgently completed and is supposedly done every night but that requires multiple steps and finding meaningless objects to open yet another compartment to find a piece that opens something else...well, you get the picture. I was terribly bored by all the back and forth. HOP's a little different but not much of a challenge, the map wasn't of much use, and I didn't really care or notice any collectibles. I just couldn't get excited about this one at all. Graphics were nicely done, I'll give it that.
