This is a buy for me. It's a cute game with beautiful graphics, fun sound, and a wonderful city building element.
Things that I loved:
1) Gorgeous tiles
2) Little guys running around to pick up blocks that I've blown up.
3) Creative and funny little characters to watch.
4) Fun powers for a little extra "pow" and blowing up items
5) Lots of progressive unlocks.
6) Lots of fun and cute achievements!

My only complaint is that the game is a little too easy, but it has 3 modes of play. I picked normal, and I should have picked the highest level.
I recommend this game!

I originally downloaded this game because I saw the caterpillar out of the corner of my eye while I was browsing through some games. He was so incredibly cute that I had to try the game.
I'm an avid Match 3 player, and this is an interesting twist to the match 3 genre. (You actually match 4, but the basics are the same.) This game reminded me a lot of Bejeweled Twist though you get four tiles in a block rather than in a row.
The game started out relatively easy, but it got harder pretty fast. When you're learning the game, the boards are relatively easy to beat, but soon, gnomes start fighting you as you try to clear the garden. If you make too many moves without making a match, gnomes start filling your garden with rocks. You have to make a match adjacent to the rock in order to break it and then progress.
I found the game different, fun, and adorable. It will probably entertain me for a good long while.
I recommend this game!

This might be one of my favorite TM games of all time though I'm not quite sure why I love it so much.
The Pros:
1) Great graphics
2) Great sound
3) Really fun time management mechanics
4) Challenging trying to beat everything on expert level
5) The food looks appetizing!
6) Some boards can't be beaten on expert level until I've earned other rewards. That makes revisiting boards fun and exciting.

The Cons:
1) Sometimes it's hard to click on exactly the right thing I want moved. (Sometimes products get in the way while I'm trying to move people.)
2) The board feels a little bit crowded when you get into higher levels. I have a harder time managing everything because something I thought I clicked on didn't select.

I love the farming and selling aspects of this game, and they were done wonderfully! Being able to upgrade watering, dirt, seeds, and other farming utensils really made my "farming game" side squeal with glee. I loved collecting all my crops and milk. Unfortunately, the wonderful farming side was paired with really slow Hidden Object.
For those who love farming AND hidden object games, this game is an absolute "must buy". For me, I enjoyed the demo but did not buy the game because I only like very specific hidden object games.
Still, I found the game pretty and the farming fun. It's a definite good buy for the right player.
I recommend this game!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this game, and I have at least 20 hours into it. I might be about halfway done. The game has lots of replay ability, and there's several ways to beat each board.
I find myself doing a lot of planning and thinking in order to meet each objective on an Expert, so this game has a lot of challenge.
Trade routes, city planning, budget planning and building are all a major part of this game. If you enjoy challenging city building games, this one is definitely a "Must Buy".
I recommend this game!

This was an excellent game, but it was a little bit too easy for my liking. I did not realize that I could finish the game and obtain expert stars in less than 6 hours.
It's a super cute game. The graphics are polished, and the characters are likable. I just wish that they had taken the time to balance it and make it just a little bit more difficult at the end! I found the last two boards to be really easy.
Still, I'm glad I bought the game. Just a warning that it's pretty easy!
I recommend this game!

I'm enjoying Dragon Keeper 2 very much even though it's a click-fest. Trying to meet the challenges in expert time has been incredibly fun as well as difficult, and the little extras in the game add an incredible amount of enjoyment. I love the little worm who darts across the screen, and even more, I love the fact that you can get an achievement from clicking on him.
I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of these boards.
I recommend this game!

This game has all the traditional Match 3 elements that I find enjoyable, and the graphics are super cute. I love super cute games! Unfortunately, I felt like the story was extremely disjointed, and I kept getting sent all over the map with no real rhyme or reason. Often, I was hunting for the next board.
The rapid coin inflation was irritating to me as well. I was making 20,000+ coins at the beginning, but boxes were soon costing around 45,000 coin each. At that point, I was making 10,000 coins per board, and I didn't feel like I was doing anything much differently to make so much less.
Excellent match 3 play. Poorly implemented story and disorganized design.
I don't recommend this game.

I was very excited about the idea of this Match 3 game, but my enjoyment was extremely diminished by the lack of a full board. I loved the idea of making matches to create new icons, but I hated that the board was continually collapsing, slowing down the matches in a way that was not much fun.
Had pretty high hopes for this one!
I don't recommend this game.

This is an excellent time management farming game. The graphics are pretty. The story is relatively funny, and the challenge is quite worth the cost of the game.
With good preparation before finishing each board, the game is relatively easy to beat on expert level, but it does require a great deal of planning and forethought to do so. The pace of the game is fast, and the graphics and animations are incredibly enjoyable.
Excellent challenge!
I recommend this game!
