Graphics:

Not too plentiful at first but as the game progresses they turn up much more frequently, until you almost get tired of them.

I would have given this game 5 stars except for the ending. It was a bit abrupt and I totally HATED the way it ended. Although, I do admit that could just be me --- or is it? I guess the only way to find out is by trying the free hour-long demo and liking it so much that you, too, want to find out what is going on in Maple Creek.
Happy Gaming!

The graphics were just ok. The music, again, just ok. The storyline did not flow well. It just didn't have the continuity I like to find in a game. HOGs and mini games were, let's all say it together ..... ok.
The game bored me and by the time the hour free demo was up I couldn't have been more grateful.
However, in the spirit of being a good sport, I will encourage everyone to give this game a try. Again, it's a rather l-o-n-g hour and it's free.
Happy Gaming!

everything.
I didn't really expect much from this game after playing another Solitaire Mystery game. However, by the middle of the demo, I was hooked!
The game is played using 2 solitaire deals. One, the regular solitaire in which you place a lower or higher card on the card facing up. Second, you play match number for number (i.e., 8+8). For each hand you complete, you receive a "part of a winter key" (in the demo it was "winter key" for the club suit. I imagine each suit has it's own season). There are 24 parts of each "key" to accumulate. There was also a reference made to getting into the Club club or something to that effect. Giving the impression that there was more after the first 24 parts of the club (winter) key were put together.
Scattered throughout the game are HOGs (hidden object games - both in silhouette and itemized. Also, interactive) and mini games. Both the HOGs and mini games were relatively easy to do.
I was so intrigued by the uniqueness and mystery of this game that mid-game I was prepared to write my review and purchase it. However, I held off until the demo was over. NOW I'm off to purchase it.
I encourage EVERYONE who likes solitaire and/or HOGs and/or adventure games to try this one out. It's an extremely fast hour free demo. Who knows what mystery and intrigue is awaiting you.
Happy Gaming!

A magical deck of cards is missing from the Museum of Antiquities. One flew in your window and, after reading a newspaper article about the deck's power, you decide to go off on a hunting spree.
You begin by playing regular solitaire (one card higher or lower than the card facing up). You then switch over to match the cards (i.e., 9 + 9). Then, the game switches back and forth without letting you know. The hand ends NOT when the cards have all been used but when the "magical" cards have been uncovered.
There are no bonuses, per se, but you do get a duster (with which to uncover the dust from just about every other card), a spray bottle to uncover mold from just about every other card, and finally a key, with which to unlock cards while still dusting and spraying. A LOT of dusting and spraying.
There are no "undos", no "wild" cards, no real bonuses and no points. If the game is over when the 52 card deck is found it will be a rather short game as you start finding them in 1s, then 2s, then 3s. I found quite a few before the demo ended.
If not for the lack of bonuses, wild cards, or anything to make this game interesting, it would definitely be on my wish list. But, the game lacked character and fun. I do encourage everyone to try the free demo. It's only an hour of your time. Who knows? You find something magical about it.
Happy Gaming!

The graphics seemed to be good for the type of game this is....an RPG type of game. The music was soothing and relaxing, too much talking going on for me. As I do not like nor play this type of game I can't really give it as good a review as it deserves.
Please take the free hour of demo time and try this game for yourself.
Happy Gaming!

This game has a bit of uniqueness to as far as match games go. You actually have to match a GROUP of 4 flowers, centipedes, etc. to clear them off the board and more pop up. Later, although there were no discernible bonuses, there were hindrances, such as the rocks the "gnomes" liked to throw in so you had to work harder and slower and get a worse score.
You see, you can only build you garden after each of 5 levels where you've scored a silver or gold in each level. This is also a timed game. There is a relaxed mode but you don't get the chance to "build" your garden.
Building your garden is pretty scarce material-wise. For instance, after level 10 you have a choice between 2 benches - that's it.
I got bored with the game pretty quickly. Had there been more to offer when building a garden, perhaps the fight with the rocks would have been worth it.
Happy Gaming!
I don't recommend this game.

If you enjoy games of strategy and matching, then you will love Cosmo Lines. With a galactic background your goal is to clear the board of all the diamonds before time is up. There are 3 modes of play - classic, arcade and challenge. One is a typical match 3, one is match 5 or more and I didn't play the third.
Pay close attention to the instructions given at the beginning of your game play.
While I love match 3 games, I find games of strategy less appealing and so this isn't a game for me. But, I do encourage everyone to try this unique match 3 game. Who knows? You might find something in the galaxy you enjoy!
Happy Gaming!

Your neighbor left you her home when she passed away, as she remembered you adopting her as your "Aunt Bea" when you were little. But, it needs some work and so you're off using her tips and tricks to get the house in tip top shape.
This is a game much like Mansion Makeover. BUT, with significant differences. You go to "open" rooms and find items for your yard sale based on clues you find in the local newspaper (i.e., flower show, fashion show, etc.). Once you've collected your items and have them displayed in your yard, you have to match the people to their items using the clue cards on the right side of the screen. DRAG the people to their respective items (took a while to figure that out - duh). After the yard sale is over and everyone is happy (make sure their happy meter doesn't run low), you use your money to decorate a room, again based on clues you are given. You can rate from 1 to 5 stars for decorating.
I found this game to be quite fun. But it did appear that the rooms are limited to one floor, so I'm not sure how long the game is. I encourage anyone who has a flair for decorating or likes to "antique" or go to yard sales themselves to try this game. I'm sure you will find it enjoyable.
Happy Gaming!

The fact that this is a brick breaking game takes a backseat to the amazingly stunning artwork that makes up the scenes that we destroy piece by little piece in this game of ball shooting madness.
The bonuses are many and sometimes rain upon your paddle in groups of 3 or more at a time. Choose the "hints on" for a while so you can get a handle on what each bonus represents because there are some very unique to this game alone. Others are pretty usual to most brick breaking games.
There is a board to the right of the screen that has a lot of info that I like - what bonus you have just received, the number of lives left AND how much time you've spent playing the game. It's easy to get lost in the beauty of the artwork and game play so having an in-game clock is great in my humble opinion.
I keep going on about the beautiful artwork. It's maddening. It's moving. The hues and colors and shades make the pictures come alive! In fact, take a moment to enjoy it before you start shooting balls at it - lol.
The music would have been more appropriately Yellow Submarine than the noidy, techy arrangement that got on my nerves and seemed so out of place.
If you would like to try a world of psychedelic artwork that is almost more enjoyable to look at than to play the game, take an hour out of your day and try this free demo. I guarantee you will enjoy yourself.
Happy Gaming!

The graphics and sound in this game are absolutely amazing. However, it is rather verbose and I began to wonder if I would have to do anything at all. Also, there was quite a bit of reading that needed to be done in Arsenio Lupene's letter. Altogether, it probably took a good 15 minutes before my character had to do anything at all - after all, one must finish one's breakfast, mustn't one?
I was a bit thrown off when the instructions of the game informed me that I needed "pen and paper" to write down clues, notes, etc. Shouldn't there be a journal or a diary that holds that info? Ces La Vie.
I am not used to games such as these where I have control of the character and it proved quite difficult for me. Although, I truly believe those who are used to RPGs, etc. will thoroughly enjoy this game of cat and mouse.
Happy Gaming!
