I really like games like this one because there are several different types of games to play. I liked all of them, but the reason I didn't buy it was the HO scenes. If your eyes aren't strained when you begin to play, they definitely will be after you work your way through a few of the HO scenes. They use the usual trick of making the hidden object the same color as the background. Many objects are nearly impossible to see, even if they aren't tiny. What really put me off was that sometimes when the "hint" showed me where the object was located, I still couldn't see it - and my eyes are very good with no problems at all. Hiding the objects went to the extreme and into the "this is no fun" category after my eyes were bugging out of my head trying to find something. I needed eye drops after the trial version was over. Otherwise, I would have gotten the game with a coupon.

Since other reviewers have gone into great detail about this game, I won't repeat all of the wonderful, fun and funny aspects of this delightful TM game - except to say that I totally agree with their reviews. This is one of those times when I'm going to be sad when the game is over. In October 2018 I pretty much switched from HO games to TM games and this type of TM game is one reason I have never looked back. I don't use the word "delightful" ad nauseum, but it's a perfect description for this particular game.
When I saw this as the day's new game, I was thrilled. I played the trial version for about 5 minutes, just to make sure it played okay on my computer even though I've never had any problems with this series in the past. Spellarium and Laruaville are simply top notch match 3 games - incredibly unique. There are always a few new features and they are always a step up from previous versions. I do have one problem though; once I start playing I find it nearly impossible to stop - even to grab a bite to eat when I'm hungry. I just keep playing. There are only a few "instant buy" games out there for me and Spellarium is definitely one of them.

It's a good thing I'm retired because I find it really difficult to stop playing this game and getting to bed "on time." This is a fun game right from the get-go. Graphics are great. Everything played smoothly. I'm one to play a game in the relaxed mode so I can take in all of the visuals and details. This game gives me a lot to look at and appreciate. The Satrys are the "bad guys" to be chased away, but when I saw them dance I laughed out loud. The sounds of the game are entertaining as well. There is a lot of stuff to look at and work your way through, but for me that's part of the fun and challenge. I just take it one step at a time and work with the things that are circled in green so I know they are available to collect or to connect to some other location in the game. There are 50 levels to play. This game is a 5 star winner all the way for me.

I own several of the Hiddenverse games and really enjoy all of them so I was very happy to see a new one offered today. There's no need for me to cover a lot of the detail since others have already done that. I will say one thing though - like some other reviewers, I was also surprised at all of the spelling errors. That's been described as irritating or hilarious - but no matter what your reaction is, the game is still terrific. One reason I like this series so much is that I really like clutter-style games and Hiddenverse offers other things along the way - not just clutter. It was pretty much an instant buy for me once I played the trial version for a few minutes and I haven't been disappointed at all.
This is a wonderful TM game. I've played a few of the Viking Brothers games, so I really perked up when I saw this game. I played three levels and purchased it. It's fun and the graphics are terrific - very colorful. I like having the puzzle pieces to find. Thank goodness they are easier to find than the ones in the Alicia Quatermain games - although I love those games, too. I always look for TM games with an untimed/easy mode, so that's another plus on this one for me. This is a really delightful, fun game all the way around. I hope we see the sisters in another game sometime.
I couldn't make enough sense out of this game to want to buy it after the trial period. I did all the things the tutorial told me to do and it was pretty much a boring game. I couldn't figure out what to do after all of the hints and tutorial help. From the looks of the information on the left side of the game, there's a lot to do; but I couldn't get far enough in an hour to use any of it except for one or two in some of the categories. I think it was just too boring to pursue past the hour's play. The graphics are very good and the sheep are so cute - but is that all there is? I'm disappointed because it looked like a really cute and different game. There needs to be a bit more action or it needs to be clearer how to do more than just roll the sheep around by snapping their tails or make the clouds rain or lightening strikes or having the sheep eat grass or shearing the sheep. I have a free game coupon, but I won't be using it on this particular game.
I love the clutter games and have several, so I was really happy to see a new one today. I bought it after the trial period. I played several different types of the games before I went to bed. I was a bit shocked by the lack of instructions/help, but I knew I would eventually figure it out. It made me worry that players who are new to the clutter games would just give up out of frustration. The last clutter game gave instructions pretty much just by picture, rather than text. If it wasn't for some of the very detailed reviews here, it would have taken me longer to figure it all out - so thanks to those of you who took the time to give all the detail on the new features. This is a killer clutter game and well worth the money, even if you pay full price. It's very challenging at times and keeps the brain cells busy. I don't know how Joe will top this one, but I'll be waiting to see when the next clutter game appears.
This is a fun game for the reasons given in more detailed reviews. It's higher-lower which is my preferred type of solitaire. I get to build/decorate something - in this case, the cemetery. The VO/narration is good. Graphics are great - very colorful. I like the idea of having multi-layer levels because it's a bit different. I'm on level 12 which means I've played 36 hands since you get 3 "deals" for each level to meet the level goals. The only thing I've especially noticed is that the game isn't overly challenging, but that doesn't put me off. I bought it pretty quickly after the trial period. Sometimes I just want to play for fun and relaxation without any big pressures or time/move limits. For me, this is a perfect game to play while taking a quick break from TM or HOG games. This game is a great way to unwind and just have fun. Obviously, I don't know if the levels become more difficult just yet. But, if not, that's okay - I'll still be glad I got it.

I downloaded it, played 3 levels and purchased it. I am basically echoing the very detailed 5-star reviews. This is a terrific solitaire game all the way around. No "downers." I especially like the types of bonuses, variety of things you can purchase throughout the game, and the number of levels/locations to play is insanely high which gives you a great "bang for your buck." Visually, it's a feast for the eyes. I am also a great fan of games that allow me to build something, which this one also features. This game will keep me happily satisfied for quite some time. I like to alternate playing TM games with solitaire games. Each one gives me a fun break from the other for a little while.
