If there was a true story line I missed it. And I never figured out what the purple tide was.
Graphics were lovely once you got into the game. But you could see the square pixels in the mermaids hair on the menu screen.
HOP scenes were very easy. Just click on anything that looks out of place. Puzzles were also fairly easy. And I did get tired of creating ornate keys.
I agree with all the other reviewers that feel mixing Epix and Blue Tea was a mistake. Next DP game I will wait for the SE and use a coupon.

I loved it. Far and away the best of the lot. Even a bonus game that ties it all together.
Puzzles were a good mix of easy and tricky. HOS were fairly simple but enjoyable.
Even if you did not much care for the others - try this one.
An outstanding value for an SE.

I loved the two previous games and purchased this as soon as it was released. I am very disappointed.
Apart from the bright visuals & Nutcracker music, this was not a Christmas story.
Length seems to be OK, but maybe that is because I am really not enjoying it much and am hoping it is over soon.
I had to go to the forum to get past the first conversation with Ole in the toy shop. Between hints and an SG I should not have to do that.
I think the Elephant is churning out too many games and needs to slow down.

I have many nonogram games and having almost finished the first Gizmos game, this just did not measure up.
However - I think it worked. Though I do not remember it it had numbers to count the blocks.
Did not have the sound on so cannot comment.
The graphics were boring. I only made it through about 6 puzzles. Not a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I might have liked this game if the presentation had been different. The game play was unusual and clever.
The mice were very cute - but the cat was awful. And the way we went from one puzzle to the next felt clumsy.

This is a game you must try before you buy.
Get ready for the fur to fly in this wild and crazy matching game!

Totally addictive and quite difficult.
I could do without the timed levels, but since you can just progress without a golden egg I try not to fret. You can always go back and keep trying. But I really like the ones with a set number of moves.
Far more a puzzle game that happens to include making matches than a Match-3. Give it a try.
I recommend this game!

While I did finish the game I never had any idea what was going on. And the bonus game just made it worse.
HOS were extremely easy. Some puzzles were very simple and others had poor directions which made them hard to play.
There were also glitches in the bonus game - clicking on the cell phone caused the game to crash and I was allowed to complete a task without ever getting told to do it. That caused the hint to get very confused.
All in all I was pretty disappointed. I would give it 2.5 stars but cannot force myself to award 3.

I played for less than 10 minutes! After clicking more than 50 times to place the dial in the first scene I gave up.
Having to be precise is one thing - having to hit the exact pixel is another.
Beautiful graphics but far to frustrating.

Very different. I suspect it gets harder as the game progresses. And I liked the game play. Very smooth and responsive.
So why won't I be buying it? I did not like the art at all! And since all you are really doing is building pictures, if the art is unappealing so is the game.
It might have been better if there was some sort of story line, but there is not.
However - it is so innovative, that I think jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts should give it a try.

I found the game very slow and not challenging.
Graphics were nice and game play was smooth. Power-ups were interesting, but I had to avoid using them in the first 10 levels.
I think if you have never played a marble-popper game it would be a great start, but for an experience player it was boring. I was disappointed and will not buy it.
