Thanks to those who go into detail about this game. I enjoyed it and will purchase it. The hour demo went quickly for me. I really like the variety of games and the story line was decent, too. This game isn't going to win "game of the year" by any means, but it's a terrific little gem to kick back and enjoy if you don't want to cause your thinking cap to explode. For me it's a kick back and enjoy kind of game. I deducted one star because it does have a lot of dialogue; but since I like the story line, I can't fuss too much about that. Since the ratings are all over the place for this game (so far, anyway), you'll probably have to play the demo for yourself to see if you like it or not.
I recommend this game!

In the CE version you get bonus levels; but in the case of this game, that is not a plus. A couple of things are really awful about this game. Having to wait and wait on resources is sooooo irritating. You have to trade resources and you can't trade until you gather certain resources. So, you wait and wait and wait for the needed resources to generate. You want to yell at the game and say "So hurry up already!!!" The second really awful thing about this game is that it is so repetitive - no imagination here by the developers. You do the same thing level after level after level. There might be a variation now and then; but it's just way too repetitive and lacks imagination. When compared to the cream of the crop TM games offered by BF, this one is woefully behind the times. For someone who has never played a TM game, this might be a good one - sort of like using training wheels on a kid's first bicycle. But, at the same time, you wouldn't want a new TM player to think all TM games are as bad as this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I was so thrilled to see this as the new game of the day. I have only had one other game like it and played it over and over again. This is a true game of deduction - sort of like what deduction is to the game of Sudoku (which I also play a lot). I am posting because I want my joy to be passed on to BF and the developers. I am leaving the detailed reviews to others. I wouldn't know how to explain it anyway. There is a good tutorial with the game. The way I play games like this is to first go through the "pages" of picture clues and delete the items from where they are NOT supposed to be located. Gradually the correct item begins to pulse and before you know it, you are on your way to solving it. When you play, always remember to click on the picture clues so the selected items will be highlighted on the game board. I'll be up all night playing this game.
I recommend this game!

This is a basic M3. It's not going to set the world on fire, but it's a good time killer. I have no complaints about it except for one thing. The developer really missed the boat when it comes to the tutorial. Seasoned players will be able to figure it out, but others may give up. The instructions for the tutorial are on and off the screen in a nanosecond. Even the world's best speed reader wouldn't be able to read the text in the tutorial. If you are going to go to the trouble of having a tutorial, why not leave the text on the screen long enough to read it and how about having a "continue" button so the gamer can decide when they've had time to read and digest it? I enjoy building or repairing things, so I like that about this game. I also agree with another reviewer that it would be really nice to know how much money you have to spend on repairs without having to exit the board to find out. I'm going to buy the game, but only with a coupon or on a good sale. It's not a full price kind of game for me.
Enjoy many new Clutter variations mixed in with your old favorites for a quest you'll never forget!

I am a Clutter fan and own several of these games. I am really enjoying some of the newest features and reading Joe's commentary after each level. Others have gone into great detail so I will not do that here. The only game style that I consistently skipped was the mahjong. It's not my favorite game anyway, but Joe has done a good job with it here. My skipping of those games is not a bad reflection on the game itself. I do not pay any attention to the timer. When the timer runs out I just click to continue each level at my own speed. This is another winner, in my opinion and I'm happy to add it to my other Clutter games.
I recommend this game!

This is a good basic TM game that I will be purchasing, There are two outstanding features - the characters are quiet and the developer is allowing the gamer to decide when they've had enough time to read the text and then hit the "continue" option. Stellar features to me. There are musical or some type of sound prompts when something happens on screen, but it's so delightful to have quiet characters. I wish more TM games had quiet characters instead of the constant, repetitive, irritating and boring chatter of characters every time you click on something, I made it through level 7 during the trial version. I always play games in relaxed or easy mode since I want to take my time and thoroughly enjoy a game. The graphics in this game are colorful and clever.
I recommend this game!

This developer has the magic touch that most devs do not. They are on #10 in a series and they are still fantastic games. Each game in the series has something new and fun without forfeiting the familiar. The games have a real charm about them, probably due in large part to the friendly and cute-as-ever ghosts. I like the new features in this one that have been amply described by other reviewers. I agree with the emphasis that concentrating on the coins is the road to success. Also, do not forget that there is a terrific help aide in the book in the upper left hand corner. These games have some unique features so that book comes in handy and is a "must read" especially for new players. I also very much like all of the little mini-games that pop up throughout the M3 games - mahjong, spot the difference, HO (which are truly one of a kind IMHO). I wish all devs could have a series of this length and still maintain the quality and up their game with each new installment. I was so very happy when I saw this as the new game on Monday, even though I did not receive my "Monday Bonus Punch" when I purchased it. Not happy about that, but thrilled with the game.

These reviews are extremely helpful when deciding whether or not a game is worth trying out. But in the case of a game where the star ratings are all over the place, you will probably just have to play the demo and decide for yourself. I'm glad there is a cache map with this game. Spending so much time looking for a little rainbow sometimes makes me crazy. This developer has done something here that I think is one of the biggest and dumbest mistakes most developers make - too much of the story text is on and off the screen in a matter of mere seconds and it's maddeningly impossible to read through it unless you read at the speed of light. I took a star off just because of that one factor. I've said so many times that I think the gamer should be the one to decide when they've had enough time to read the text - NOT the developer. If you think you will have time to read and closely follow the story line in this one, you will be highly disappointed! This game downloaded and ran perfectly on my laptop.
I recommend this game!

I am always drawn to anything that has an Egyptian theme. This is a fun M3. Chain matching isn't my favorite, but it works in this game. I like uncovering the "hidden" Egyptian artifacts. I also like having 3 types of game play since I usually prefer "relaxed." There is a good mix of obstacles, power ups, and boosters. The mini-game variations are also good. I don't normally care for "spot the difference" games, but I liked these. The only drawback to me is that you don't have a choice of decorations for the pharaoh's tomb. You use the one they give you when you earn it; but that's a small thing and certainly not a deterrent to purchasing the game since I just like decorating stuff by earning points or stars, etc. We've had two really good M3 games lately and they are totally different from one another. Thank you BF and thanks to reviewers who go into great detail when reviewing the games.
I recommend this game!

I'm a "ditto" on Pennmom's review on this one. I played for about 30 minutes and bought it. It's a bit unique and you do have to think about what you're doing. I also liked the many choices of customization. And several other things. Many of the recent M3 games releases have been pretty "blah," but this one "has some teeth to it." I really don't need a strong story line with a M3 game, so that's not a huge factor for me either way. This is a very strong 4-star game for me.
I recommend this game!
