This would have been an immediate buy for me except for one thing: There are limited moves after the first or second board. I love brain challenge games and fitting pieces into shapes but what's with the limited moves? By the time I had played to 5th board, I was already getting only one star. A non-limited moves option would have been perfect.
I really wanted to like this game. I liked the game play and I liked the fact that you could choose your level of difficulty. What I DIDN'T like was the background. I couldn't tell which squared I'd emptied and which still needed to be cleared. I often had one or two tiles left and spent so much time looking for them that I just quit. If anyone knows of a way to change the tile colors and make them a different color/shade, I'd be grateful!
There are a lot of issues with this game that other developers have managed to overcome. 1) Sound and music are on/off. I like to adjust the sound AND the music, not just on/off 2) Can't skip the tutorial. Come on! How many times do we have to be taught to play one up one down solitaire?? 3) No reason given for getting 2 stars instead of 3, even if you've beaten a level. 4) Considering this is supposed to be a "new" game, for some reason, my profile from November 2020 came up and I was already on level 6. Hmmmm.... I smell something fishy!
I love solitaire and the graphics made this look like it would be a good game, but it's a no-buy for me.

I love a good farm game but was disappointed right from the beginning. The volume was so loud that I was desperately searching for the options switch from the moment the game opened. Unfortunately, you have to be well into the game before it shows up.
Then you're asked to make choices (a gem as a "gift" and one other) before the tutorial even started. As far as I could determine, there is no way to skip the tutorial, and no way to exit in the middle of the tutorial. You just have to suffer on until the game finally lets you leave. Even then, you need to go through at least 4 screens to exit.
Maybe if I hadn't been so annoyed from the beginning I could have enjoyed the game, but this is a no-buy for me.

Most of the other reviewer have made excellent points about this wonderful game but I thought I'd add a couple different reasons that I love it a bit more than HoH2
1) I LOVE the fact that there is a "relaxed" option! I like to take my time and work out the best match and this game allows me to do that stress-free!
2) I LOVE that your game isn't interrupted by the awards. You are given any won awards at the END of each board. In HoH2, it drove me CRAZY when I was just setting up a great match and the stupid "award" screen would come on. I'd forget what I was doing in the game!
3) I really like that I have a choice of buildings. In HoH2, you just built. I'm a fan of the "blue roofs" myself! :D
Great game! Thanks developers for listening to your fans!
I recommend this game!

Zuma Deluxe
Play the best-selling action puzzler that is simple to learn, but deceptively difficult to master. Are you up to the challenge?
Even though they've come out with Zuma's Revenge, Zuma Deluxe is still my favorite marble popper. Sure, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Revenge does, but it's a great, fun, challenging game. Actually, I don't like too much else going on in my marble popper games. It takes all of my concentration to match the marbles!
