For the same reason others were unhappy with the game, I was thrilled. The sound was relaxing, the puzzles were beautiful, yes, there is a click every time you place a piece and the challenge was average. The puzzles get a bit harder as you go through. I was able to play through all of India and half of Australia in my one hour demo, but that's with checking out some of the options as well. If you enjoy a zen time playing a game, then this might be worth a try.
I recommend this game!

Match 3 with a flat story of earning money to decorate a house for Halloween. Repetitive music which randomly stops from time to time, unclear instructions on how to use bonuses earned, artwork was old-school and flat, storyline was uninteresting and level after level of slightly progressive match 3 gameplay. I played it to the end, but not my cup of tea. Try before you buy and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Rather than go to the details the others have, they are all right. When I first started played I thought - LAME, but then I gave it a chance. I ended up giving it four stars because I enjoyed my morning playing it. It is not what I would call a hidden object game as their are not enough, and it is not an adventure game because the tasks are short and sweet. The puzzles were fun, I had no issue with the fantastical colors and I didn't mind finding this to do that. Very enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

As others have said, quite the improvement over the previous pixel games, you can make it more or less challenging depending on how much you use the tools you earn, but it you use them, the tedious eye-exhausting effort of finding the lost pixel is gone. I love how they tell you how many items you are looking for so you know whether you want to use a tool or not, and the quality of the images are much better than the norm. I'm leaving room for improvement, but good improvement on an old idea.
I recommend this game!

I downloaded and installed the game and it told me that my "NEW" game trial had already expired. Guess it's not so new after all - what's up with that? I do remember liking it though.

I get what people are saying about the game title - I think they could have offered up something else, but that being said, be sure to read all of the tutorials. Without them, the game would make no sense.
It's basically a match three with typical obstacles presented in an original way. For each level of the tower you beat, you move up one level of what I'll call the "tower of babel" to keep with their theme. I was able to play to level 20 before the one hour demo timed out. In that time I was also able to see that there are match tiles, sliders, jigsaws and other games mixed in as a reward every few levels. Overall, it was a decent game that I would buy on a sale day. Yes, there is a relaxed up to challenging mode - I had a nice evening of it.
I recommend this game!

It takes people to accomplish anything in the game, but you have to build homes to have people. If you see zzz's over a house, no one is working there - you need more people. The faster you do the quests, the faster the game goes, but without enough people... get the idea? Oh, and right-clicking on buildings is a fast way to hire(+)/fire(-) and see your people. At the beginning of the game, take from one building to use in another until you get your feet under you.
That said, the game does move slowly, but has the potential to be a good sim-like game as said before, but by the time you figure out what the problems are, your demo is over. I was able to build a couple of fire towers, a windmill and bakery. If you don't get that far, your people will starve, so just know that your first quests are at least 1 of each in order to get started. Don't build anything until you are prompted, and don't start until you are ready (if the game will let you wait). Quests get you money and prestige, prestige will let you quickly build.
My guess is, as the game moves along, you will have more and more to keep track of, because there were features where you could zoom in on the working characters, hire/fire, increase happiness, develop an army, do research to improve technology, farming, etc.
The premise of the story is that you've been kicked out of your kingdom for some unfortunate event that was apparently not your fault, and I'm speculating you are going to be blackmailed by a character in the future based on the dialog I saw - so there is a game going on.
Now that I've written this I realize that it is a bit upside down, but after playing the game, you'll understand. Try it!
I recommend this game!

For those who just like to find stuff - otherwise, pass. It is screen after screen of stuff to find. Easy at first, but gets smaller and more faded as time goes by. You can earn up to three stars for speed, which is easy at first you can replay as many times as you like.
There are limited hints available and bonuses eventually.
Options are Sound, music and Full Screen.
18 Achievements are for finding a set number of objects, using the hints or bonuses a set number of times (apparently encouraged), length of time you have been playing and number of days in a row you have played.
Redeeming quality to me was the storyline about an inheritance. You get a piece of the story between each puzzle.
Might be something fun for the family to do together after thanksgiving dinner or something.
I'll pass, but you might like it. My description is pretty spot on.
I recommend this game!

I would have given this at least four stars or more, but the two star review was so unfair I made sure to throw in an extra star to balance things out. At the very least, if adventure games are not your thing, then either don't review it, or just go with three stars so as not to cause other players to bypass this wonderful story.
If you have played the previous games in this series, then it's right up there with those, and continues the story. It's an adventure game, with some hidden object games tossed in. Yes, there's dialog, but not too much, there is a bit of going from room to room to find items to use to achieve your objective, but it makes perfect sense with the story. The music? Well its moody to go along with the danger theme.
All the other elements are there, collection objects and morphing objects to find, transporting map, and customizable difficulties. The puzzles are not a stretch, but they are very entertaining.
I thoroughly enjoyed the demo and I plan on adding this game to my collection. Don't let the naysayers who only like HOPS cause you to miss out on this gem.
I recommend this game!

This game is about finding stuff - just finding stuff. Yes, between each find stuff game is a mahjong or a puzzle, but if you want more than a seek and find, this is not the game for you.
That said, if you do like to find hidden objects, then there are all kinds of things to find. Not too sure about the instructions as there was no tutorial, so I'm not even sure if I was finding everything I needed to find, or if there was more to find, but oh well. Some of the stuff is well hidden. Once you complete a level, there is no indication of completion, you can just play the same level over and over until I guess you find everything.
As you can tell, not my cup of tea, but hidden object people may believe that this is just the ticket - try it.
I don't recommend this game.
