I was hoping this game was similar to the one they had for Halloween and I was not disappointed. They should change the skull icon in the Christmas game to the star what you should really look for. Although how about combining the two of them. You can have the werewolf throwing snow globes as weapons and maybe jousting monsters using candy canes. It would work for me. Love Halloween and all the monsters.
Unleash the spooky fun with Gems of Destiny: Halloween ! In this thrilling Match-3 game, Count Dracula has devised a plan to gather all the Halloween monsters for the ultimate fright night.

I have been playing an old Halloween game now for weeks - Spooky Bonus. This new one is just what I was hoping for. I love the story line and I love monsters - especially werewolves so this game just made my weekend. I love the power-ups. I am playing the relaxed version for now. I'll graduate to the other levels later. I like that feature also. There is nothing wrong with this game. Perfect for me!
I just finished the game and will be going into the extra levels next. I loved the first one and was rather surprised to see this is the second one. I thought we would be at five or six by now and reached our century. I love the story and characters - Bella looks much better this time. She doesn't have that weird nose. I like the new power up to recharge quickly. The art work is terrific and the game itself is wonderful I have nothing to complain about except waiting so long for the sequel. I am still playing the original - several computers later.
I have been waiting for a new version of Zuma and it finally came. I love Zuma but it doesn't play as well on my new computer. Several computers later and I stopped playing Zuma like I was obsessed with. This one is a bit different - catching the crystals is a different approach to you have to pay attention when the round ends. I am really happy with this new game. I love the old Sparkle games but this one is better.

I bought this game without trying it. Just read a review that said it is a match 3 game which is what I have been looking for. I have been playing an old Match 5 forever. Arcanika - I love to pet the bear in the game. I've played that game so much that the bear would flip me the bird if he could! My only issue was the little icons in the game. Two of them looked so alike I thought they were matches. Probably my eyesight. - 70 years old and still listening to Led Zep! Anyway, I figured that out and I am really enjoying this game. I like the timeless. At my age I am over anything timed.

I finished this game on the relaxed mode and I will play it again on the regular mode. The graphics are over the top. I love the different challenges. The bingo challenge is something different. The only thing I would have liked different is the end of gathering the pearls. I would have liked a little more fanfare for gathering them up. Maybe the harder levels has that but I'll have to get to that. Love this game overall.

I really like this game. So many different things to chose from. I wish they had more hidden objects but I can always find that in another game. The color is really great. I can see the levels quite well. At my age - 70 - the darker levels in some of the games are impossible. Color and lightness help!

I bought this because of the title but was very happy with this game. I didn't figure out the puzzle part until the second shot at playing. I love the pictures is the puzzle section and the match three is a lot of fun. Different then the usual match three so it was interesting. I was playing it for a while and not getting anywhere and finally looked at the instructions and it was an AHA moment. Great fun and a geography lesson also!

I enjoy this style of hidden object. I am 68 years old and the hidden objects with the dark backgrounds do not work for me anymore. I love the brighter backgrounds. I also like the puzzles that this developer offers. Everything about this game is just terrific!
