I really (and I mean, REALLY) loved this game!!! The storyline is compelling and unpredictable, which only gets even more so as the adventure progresses.
It is very original, and I feel that a lot of thought, time and effort has been put into it by the devs.
Please, Big Fish / devs, can we have more like this?? I'm getting really bored with the same old stuff that is being churned out constantly!! This is different, funny, and extremely intriguing. If I could give it 10/5 stars, I would!!

I'm not sure why some reviewers have given it such a low rating; each to their own, I suppose. I thought it was brilliant, and felt so sad when it ended. I bought the full game after the demo. It was very atmospheric, very interesting, and had great artwork! It was fairly challenging in some parts, but was mostly a nice game for when you don't want to tax your brain too much, like after a long, hard day at work.

The video, graphics & cut scenes are totally brilliant! The demo was great fun. However, even on 'Expert' level, it was extremely easy to solve the puzzles; it felt more like an interactive film. Still, it was fun, but I worry about how long it would take to complete the full game. I'm no 'expert', so the fact that this was so easy means that I could probably finish the whole game in approx. 3 hrs.
The visuals do make up for this, but I like more hours game-play for my fiver!!
Ok, so the game was really enjoyable...until I had to restart it (after getting quite far). I know this comment is supposed to go in the technical section, but most people don't read that section before buying the game; I didn't, but I wish I had! It is packed full of major glitches, and really should be sorted out before it carries on being sold. If you don't do the tasks in a prescriptive way...i.e. do each task it tells you, when it tells you, instead of jumping ahead, you will get stuck with no chance to move past certain bits. I read this after it happened...in the tech section, of course! So I started it again, and didn't jump ahead....and it did it again!! I was really far into the game, but then it wouldn't let me upgrade the warehouse or hotel to 3*!! Again , I referred to the tech section, and loads of people have reported the same problem...yet BF keep it available for sale!! Sort it out BF, I'm not impressed!!!! I bet BF move this review into the tech section.

I absolutely LOVED this game!
Playing the demo, I found it quite a challenge and decided to buy it. I'm really glad I did, as I found it extremely different and like no other match3 game I'd played before (once I got the hang of it!).
The only down-side is that I found having only 3 worlds made the game too short. After I'd replayed each level and got 3 stars for them all, I was really sad to have finished.
Same again please, with more levels next time...oh, and yeah, some of the creatures are quite hard to see against the background, so fix this too please!

I recommend this game!

I bought this game straight after the demo finished, as I was really getting into it. It's a great game!
It's now getting very intense, hectic and a little bit stressful...I can almost imagine how real chefs feel: having to multi-task and make several dishes at the same time!
The recipes are a real bonus, and I'm going to try some out. I like the way you unlock different recipes as you progress up the levels.

I didn't expect much from this game, and thought it looked a bit naff. Still, I downloaded the demo and soon got so hooked I used a well-spent credit on the full version!
If you like Tetris and 'pipe-building' games, then you really should try the demo. It's a simple concept: join the twigs, build upwards, and do it quickly.
I'm going to be very tired at work tomorrow, it's late and I can't leave the game alone!
I recommend this game!

I also nearly didn't try the demo, due to the bad reviews. The last reviewer persuaded me to give it a go, and I'm glad they did!
I found it to be a very relaxing game, thanks to the soft (but occasionally a bit creepy# music and appealing graphics. Also, the items weren't that hard to find. The artwork was good enough for the intro and cut scenes, and I found the 'moving drawings' quite endearing.
The only reason that I didn't buy the game, was that I 'd pretty much finished it #I think# by the time the demo ended.
