There are several reason why this game should only be a SE version. It does not have a strategy guide. Not that you will need it for this game, but in today's gaming world, CE games should at a minimum have a strategy guide, of course this is my opinion. There is no skip option. Sometimes we just want to get to the game and avoid all the chit-chat. Each play scene seems to have a lot of things that seem not to have a purpose. You try clicking on them and nothing happens. The instructions are adequate, not great. There is minimum challenge. As a SE this game might be good for beginners.
I don't recommend this game.

Sometimes you don't want all the whistles and bells. Sometimes you just want to relax with a good story and mindless HO scenes. This games does that. The art work is pretty good and the HO can be a little challenging. I also enjoy the fantasy angle. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I was addicted to this game. I wonderful different take on match three. The artwork was great, particularly as you built and completed the various quest. Regarding the instructions, they were just OK particularly when it came to the power ups. Out of the 4-power-ups only two seems to have a clear purpose. I look forward to another game.
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game for a fun, relaxing and fairly easy TM game. Sometimes we just want to play a game without too much challenge. If you're like me, this is a good game for relaxing. However, I'm recommending this game with one big reservation, wait for the SE. The only thing in the CE is Music and Concept Art, if you want these items, then go for the CE. It does not have a Walkthrough.
I recommend this game!

I want to "ditto" all the other great reviews and only comment on why I will purchase the CE vs SE version. In three words, the strategy guide, is a real plus. It's simple and gets right to the heart of the matter regarding the best way to get 3-stars. Why I have not used it yet, I'm certain it will come in handy when I get to some of the higher levels. I purchased the CE of RT 6 and found it helpful when I could not get 3-stars on a couple levels without it. Thanks you developers for a great game.
I recommend this game!

I had to chime in because I don't know why folks gave this a low review. The art works is pretty good and the storyline is different from so many others.
There are four different levels to choose from, easy to custom.
The CE has collectables, 30 artifacts, 64 pearls, and 30 morphing objects.
Game play includes hidden objects scenes, not your usual, and you can choose to play match-3 instead. At different stages of the game, you will have to guide yourself through different labyrinths, one of which is guiding a horse through, not as easy at it sounds.
Another feature - map that you can choose to show collectables or not,
The one thing that I didn't like so much was the amount of "talking," But you can click through this.
I recommend that you try the name before dismissing it!
I'm off to purchase.
I recommend this game!

Others have said why they like this game so I will only ditto what was said and add -- this was one of the best storylines in a long time. The developers did a great job with the artwork. HO scenes and mini-games where just challenging enough not to frustrate you while playing. Collectives where easy to find. I recommend trying the game, but I think that I will wait for the SE since I'm not big on spending time with collectable. I can't wait for the SE to come out. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Other then having a pretty good storyline, there is nothing really exciting about this game.
1. There is no voice over so you have to read the story which is not bad.
2. You cannot identify the player so if you want to play the game again, it's not clear how you can play with a different player.
3. You earn stars and points, but for what purchase. Maybe it to purchase power ups but I didn't get that far into the game.
4. Graphics are not bad.
5. This seems to be all about hidden objects. The objects are easy to fine and each scene seems have about 10-12 objects to locate. No challenge here.

Maybe 10 years go this game might have been in my list to purchase, but I have to pass on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Enjoyed the game. The game starts off pretty easy but as you progress, it get more difficult. You have goals -- beat the time, get certain number of items, remove all the gold or silver blocks, etc. You can purchase power-ups and they really come in handy.
I recommend this game!
