Like many reviewers comments, this series continues to be a winner.
The developers come up with more ways to solve the puzzles and it remains a challenge and a great way to test the grey cells again.
Like others have said, this version when played with normal difficulty is not very hard, but it's very entertaining and the graphics, Explosions and puzzles are well done.
The solitaire and match tile games are not really necessary, but the developers have catered for all.
Very well Done

This is the 10th Outing for this clever series and its a winner from FRH Games
The gameplay is similar to earlier versions in so far as you have to find and eliminate coins using match 3 , but this time out the developers require you to select from a range of linked subscreens to destroy coins hidden elsewhere.
Failing to do this correctly, results in being bombed out or getting a message saying it's impossible to complete so start again !
There is a help button which is only available for a while and then disappears
There are the usual Mahjong, spot the difference etc inter level "games" which are a little more challenging than previous but good fun.
I recommend this game as it has all the ingredients of a challenging but not too difficult game with lots of subgames (which you can skip) and there are a lot of levels.

This is a departure from the normal M3 games and is a winner.
There is a storyline which encourages you to keep going and some really good action from the many M3 layouts. Exploding bombs and missiles are the norm for this very entertaining edition. Coupled with some quirky additional games with puzzles and solitaires theres something for everyone.
Whilst it's best to play with the assigned number of moves to get the best score there is a relaxed mode to enable progress if you're really stuck.
The developers have really come good on this and recommend it

Silver Tale is one of the best M3 adventure games there is.
It has a great story line and multiple levels to complete to save the King.
Not only do you have to solve many puzzles you have to buy or obtain essential items to journey through the quest.

The game takes hours to finish , but you are easily hooked to continue. To achieve the ultimate goal you must not only finish each level BUT keep playing to earn maximum score.
Tip - Failure to do this will block your progress later on and you will have to return and redo the levels.
Some levels contain up to Five areas of play so you can get lost navigating through the "portals" - draw yourself a little map , it helps !
Really excellent value for money and a massive credit to the developers. Lets hope a sequel is in the pipeline

Having played this game a couple of times I am still impressed by the challenges and gameplay. It's not the hardest of games but there are unique twists and some interesting "helpers" who add an amusing touch. The artwork and scene settings are really good and there are clever mechanical , electrical and logic puzzles together with a well thought out story. Only minor critique is it is a little short and can be finished in 4-5 hours. Played on large screen iMac and its a great experience. Try it and i'm sure you will not regret buying it

This game is well thought out and has some really good visuals.
The plot is easy to follow and leads you to a host of weird inventions on your quest to capture the Badie who has left a trail of problems to unfold.
Rather straightforward puzzles and they are plentiful and add to the gameplay.
A good way to spend a few hours .
There are only a few of downsides, The puzzles are quite easy and present no real challenge another is, as is often the case, a lot of backwards and forwards especially at the later stages, and finally there is too much dialogue , which is unhelpful.

A truly remarkable adventure game with quite scary plot.
The live action /animation characters are simply the best and the clever Hidden object /use of items concept really takes the game to new heights.
The plot is well conceived and the puzzles are professionally devised and executed so well. Not very long but keeps the interest up as just when you think its going to end another devious twist occurs.
The graphics are superb and the "find the objects" features demand that you not only have to find, but work out how to use the items.
Best adventure/Hidden object game on the market. Please developers lets have a sequel to this

Like a lot of reviewers I find this developer has really mastered the nonogram/ gridlers technique. As such I have found myself buying quite a lot of these and clearly, having now 28 editions available sort of speaks for itself.
Unlike other games in this genre , the secret is quality and consistency. Whilst other developers tend to go for weird layouts, strange shapes and double hit boxes they have often lost the plot on making their games solvable by logic.
Not so Fantasy Mosaics, who remain subtle in their improvements the latest being secret colours that are only visible when progress is adequately made.
Well done the penguins.

If you're into unusual match 3's this is a great game.
The game comes from the very well respected Cursed House stable and follows similar gameplay, but with more features.
The level of challenge is good and requires some thinking to get the most powerful power ups. Having said that this game is intuitive and full of noisy surprises and effects. The game screen is very busy and unlike cursed House it will give you some tips if you wait too long.
There is a good help guide if you need it but try to work out the various tricks and solutions before you resort to it.
In my opinion one of the best and interesting M3 around. Try it you won't be disappointed.

An interesting Game with a nice touch in clutter like play. The whole storyline plot leads you to believe that you will have to solve some daunting mechanical problems, but alas this is not the case. The game revolves around clutter like play which does vary with choice of some match 3's , but is still by far the the main puzzle.
The developers had a massive opportunity to add a few puzzles like are seen in "The tiny Bang story " which would have elevated this game to excellent. Nice way to lose a few hours but there are others with more appeal.
Recommended with the above reservations.
