Having played all 13 other Laruavilles, as well as Cursed House, which is the same, Laruaville 14 is a disappointment. The matching formula is not the same in this one as in the other 13. There are some new features, but they just don't make up for the lack of matching and power-ups that the other ones have.
This is Match 3, BUT much, much more. I have already played 11 of them, and each one is better than the last. They get progressively more challenging and so much fun!
At first I didn't think much of the graphics. But, OMG, this series is AMAZING! And the music score is something that should be in a movie. It sounds like an amazing orchestra! And there are many levels, each of which is exciting, with many, many possibilities! If you like the "Bubble" games, you'll go crazy over these ClearIt games!
I recommend this game!

Bubble Town?

Just saw this for the first time. Why is it not named Bubble Town 3? It is identical to Bubble Town.
Most of the levels are good. But I was very disappointed, at one level, when one of the cats was hidden next to one of the "differences." This was when you had to find 3 hidden cats in the "find the difference" portion. I had a perfect score up to that point. When I tried to click the hidden cat, it was too close to a "difference" and the cat was not highlighted, thus missing it altogether. I got the impression, this game was hurriedly passed on to Big Fish.
Someone please help me with "Restore the Logic Pattern!" It's that shapes puzzle upstairs on top of a dresser with drawers that come out. It says to restore the logic pattern, but I don't see what the pattern is.

I enjoyed the mosaics and really looked forward to the little mini-game at the end of each set of mosaics. However, after finishing the very last mosaic, as I was getting excited again to play the mini-game, across the screen displayed "CONTINUED..." I was gobsmacked! Don't even bother yourself! There's no conclusion to this game, and there is no Detective Agency Mosaics 3 to continue the game. Also, the dialogue was boring, as it was just reading screen after screen, no voices at all.
I don't recommend this game.

Many have commented on how bad the music is. Main problem with it is that it is way off tune in some places, like a very bad singer. But if you turn the music way, way down, it's kind of relaxing and you don't hear the off keys. There are a few mistakes in the making of this, namely the gold coins are collectible, but not noted as collectible. And I miss the morph challenges that are in Around the World. I play it in Relaxed mode, because I don't want to sweat it, just want to relax.
I recommend this game!

I love the many facets of this game. However, there are several instances where objects are mislabeled. For instance, the clue is "Hot Chocolates" and the object is actually two ice cream sodas. There are some other misnamed items. Finding the morph object is challenging. Aside from that, I love the many, many facets of it. It's not boring, for sure.
