This appears to be a game that would be quite fun. However ,for me, it was missing one crucial element. That is the option to play in a relaxed mode. If that isn't a concern to you, give it a try.
The exciting adventures of the young Ingolf await you in this magical Time Management game.

I played this for a very long time, through most of the levels, but then I got to the sheep catching level. I was playing this in the relaxed mode. My definition of relaxed doesn't just mean no timer, it means I can take things at an unhurried pace. Obviously who ever made this game doesn't see it that way. You were supposed to capture 33 sheep. I couldn't even get 3. I am so angry I wasted all this time to get to a place where i can't continue. It would be nice if ratings were actually what they said. Until this happened I would have given the game a much higher rating, but this ruined everything,
I don't recommend this game.
A new fantastic Mahjong adventure awaits you in this epic story of the struggle between good and evil!

This is a timed game, with a timer that moves quickly right from the start. There are no hints. By the second board, I already couldn't clear. Unless you can spot things very quickly and like being rushed, leave this on the shelf.
I don't recommend this game.

There is a good variety of puzzles here, all which can be modified to your specifications So what's not to like? The flash of light and sparkles that appear every time you put a piece in place. It's why I have rejected every set of puzzles this developer has issued. It ruins everything because it is so annoying. And unfortunately, this seems to be the only jigsaw puzzle developer Big Fish is using now. Hopefully this will eventually change.
I don't recommend this game.

I played this game for the full trial and really enjoyed it so used a credit to get it. Then after I did that all of a sudden there are all these obstacles you have to overcome to advance. It makes the story mode too difficult for me to play. I can't think or move fast enough. I buy games for relaxation , not to become frazzled. Thankfully there is a zen mode that is just simple match 3 so i can at least play that and the game not be a total waste. If I had known what I was going to end up with, I'd have saved my credit for something else.
I don't recommend this game.

This has a lot going for it, good variety of puzzles, ability to customize, nice colors. It has one thing though that prevents me from purchasing or recommending it. Every time you add a piece it flashes. Very irritating.
I don't recommend this game.

This is another game from the makers of Royal Envoy, Gardenscapes, 4 Elements, Fishdom Call of Atlantis and more. It is a match three games were various artifacts are restored by having fragments moved to the bottom of playing boards. You can play timed or relaxed. There are several things that can be used to assist in the game such as bombs lightning and an amulet. If you are familiar to this developer you will recognize the tile falling sounds right away. Also familiar is the bright jewel tone colors used in most of this developers games.There are 8 artifacts to be restored and in the 42 minutes I played I did the first 2. I have a feeling though that they will probably become increasingly difficult so I'm sure the future ones are going to take more time. I enjoyed playing this and have bought the game.
I recommend this game!

This has a familiar story. A displaced empire rebuilding in a new location. The artwork is very attractive and although I only listened to the sound for a few moments it seems appropriate to the game. You can play in casual or timed mode. You earn gold coins by playing match 3 boards and with the coins you earn you buy new buildings Some of the levels take a while to complete while others are quicker. There's not a lot new in this game but it is well done, so I do plan on purchasing it.
I recommend this game!

I have done a few of the build and re store games lately and enjoyed them. This one though I can't get the hang of. I don't expect to get gold on any level. I'm slow. That's reality. But even when I use the walkthrough I take at least twice as long. Without, many times that. I'll finish the game only because I don't want to have wasted my money. I don't mind being slow but this is really bad. I really prefer when there is a straight relaxed mode with no sight of any kind of timer. I'll remember that next time.
I don't recommend this game.
Search for thousands of cleverly hidden items around the historic sites of Tokyo. Play a bunch of fun mini-games too.

I used to love the BCA games but the last two, Paris and this one have become just too hard for those with poorer vision. I couldn't even get though the first level. I made the mistake of buying the Paris edition and was unable to finish it. I'll leave this one on the shelf.
I don't recommend this game.
