I've played about 20 minutes of the preview, and I'm going to purchase. It's not super-challenging, but it's fun and the graphics are cute. It's definitely one of those games that I will use when I want to relax a bit. The only slightly annoying aspect is the loading screen that appears for EVERY transition -- but it doesn't take long. If you're looking for something with which to sit and chill, this is the game for you!
I'm going to tell you why I didn't buy it. It's a lot of fun, challenging, and is a creative word game. However, the number of levels in this game are not worth the buy. While playing the 60-minute trial, I was able to finish 87% of the game (it shows your progress on the home screen). These puzzles can't be that difficult to create, so a game with multiple levels, along with a free-play "boggle" mode or bonus words, would be much better. Oh, I should add that there is a daily game (in which you can earn clues), but again, that's one extra puzzle a day -- still not worth the buy, in my opinion. But, if you do choose to buy, you'll enjoy the game itself!
I've been waiting for a TM game like this for a while -- especially since I'm really tired of the Emily games. This game is a great one -- challenging enough to be interesting, but not frustratingly difficult. What you buy and when really makes a difference. Big Fish, please bring us more games like these!
After reading the other reviews, I decided to experiment by downloading the free trial, playing a bit, and then playing the original, which I already own. And, it's true. This version is almost exactly like the first one, except Jasmine moves more slowly. Not exactly my idea of fun. So, I really enjoy the original, and if you don't have that one, buy it instead of this. And, if you do have it, go back and play it! :)
Epistory immerses you in an atmospheric action/adventure game where you play a girl riding a giant fox who fights an insectile corruption from an origami world.

This is such an unusual game -- I'm not usually an "adventure game" type of person, but the combination of adventure and typing oddly makes this an addictive little game. I personally prefer using the mouse to navigate and the typing for all other action (which is required). The further in you get, the more challenging the typing part gets. I wasn't sold in the first five minutes or so, but the more I played it, the more I couldn't stop!
Mislabeled, obviously. But, also, the games aren't that challenging or exciting. The storyline is okay but extraneous -- it doesn't seem geared toward adults, quite honestly. Okay if you want to kill some time, I guess. A younger audience may enjoy it more.

You know, I would give this game 5 stars if it had a stinkin' trash can! If you pick up something that no one has ordered, not only can you not get rid of it, you can't pick up anything else in that "genre" (i.e. if you're holding a drink, you can't pick up another drink) and you can't get rid of it. Incredibly frustrating, and there's no way to restart the level, so you're stuck until everyone gets mad and leaves. Such a shame, because I really like this game. The pace is good, there are "challenges" to meet that enable you to get experience to move up levels, and the pace is good. If the game had a level restart and trash can, I would buy it immediately. But, alas, it's not to be.
I don't recommend this game.

Well worth the buy -- I've played this game all the way through three times now, and I never get tired of it. It's incredibly compelling and enjoyable -- you won't get tired of it!
This game was okay, but overall, I think that the graphics and gameplay was better in the first version. My main beef with this sequel is that you don't have a choice when buying items, such as bonuses. In the first game, you could choose what to spend your money on and how much -- this game doesn't allow that freedom; I don't like the bonuses taking up space on the conveyor belt, when I don't need them. I also don't like having to buy equipment when the game tells me to, instead of when I choose. It's an okay game, if you just want something to pass the time. Hopefully the third one will be better.
