After playing the demo for 40 minutes, I will be buying this one. It offers significantly more challenge than the last one (but certainly not insurmountable) and hence will be worth my purchase. The music is varied, clean and enjoyable to listen to. I have no problems with the sound quality at all, The graphics are clear and colorful. I tend to play a couple screens each day and then move on to another game. By my estimate, I should get at least a month's worth of playing time and value from this one. Each to his/her own but I have enjoyed most of the offerings from Tiny Little Lion. By all means, play the demo and make your decision after the trial.
While I enjoyed the bright and visually stimulating screens, as well as the relaxing jazz music background, there was almost 0% challenge in the ones I completed during the 27 minutes I played. I have the first 'Just Find It' and it presented a good bit more challenge. In 27 minutes, I completed ALL of the 'find em' screens, 4 of the 'switch the picture parts' screens and 3 of the "match" screens. I am NOT a wizard of hidden objects, by any means, so I expect most players (even beginner level) will be quite disappointed with their purchase. Note to the DEVs: some kind of scoring mechanism, whether it be a timer or a score keeper would definitely enhance game play and replayability .... at least it would for me.
Rarely do I play match 3 games in other than "relaxed mode". However, this one was SO MUCH FUN that I tried the other 2 modes as well. It was worth it. "Limited Moves" were fair so I only had to replay 2 or 3 of the levels. "Timed" mode was also fair although I had to replay several of the levels. Strategic thinking is required. I definitely recommend this game.

Storyline
5/ 5
The developer has really stepped up their game and I am enjoying it immensely. The story line is long, involved and makes playing a hidden object game so much more enjoyable than just seeing a screen, finding the objects, then rinse and repeat. I realize that this game may not appeal to players that don't like reading the text (no voice-overs in this one) but for me, it keeps me invested in reaching the conclusion of not only the game but also the plots.
The puzzles which are included between HO scenes are varied in their presentation. While not difficult, there is enough of a challenge to them to stave off any boredom.
I have enjoyed playing all of this dev's Fairfield series and this tops all of them in terms of presentation. The artwork is top-notch (kudos to the artist that rendered the Notre Dame scene), the game play smooth and the entertainment value quite enjoyable.
I eagerly look forward to more games like this in the future.
