I played the whole demo hoping it would get better, but no. The stamps you put together are totally boring. With all the gorgeous stamps in the world you'd think they would have used some of those but they are all very similar simplistic drawings, mostly geometric, and all the same few colors. The game is timed. That's fine except it is also glitchy so when you have to click to turn a piece around to fit sometimes I had to click 4 or 5 times using up valuable time on the clock. This could have been sooo much better with a tiny bit more effort on the part of the developer. A no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

While this isn't generally my favorite type game to play, this one has enough little twists and challenges that make it quite fun. I can see buying this one.

Typical up/down solitaire - not too easy but not frustratingly difficult. I enjoy this type of solitaire and while it is nothing new gamewise I liked the different layouts and visuals. Probably a buy for me.

Very much like the last game extended to be a collector's edition by adding a bunch of non-hidden object mini games that really weren't that much fun. Try before you buy is my only suggestion. I wouldn't buy but you may like the elements I didn't.
I don't recommend this game.

I didn't like the quality of the finished product - overly simple and boxy. If they didn't tell you what it was supposed to be your probably wouldn't know. Even though they did tell you it was still iffy that the picture was supposed to be that thing. I didn't like the play with all the other clutter on the visible screen. For me, it wasn't worth the time to finish the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

Although I'm a big match 3 fan I didn't find this one enjoyable. Between all the barriers and the monkey throwing stuff out on the field I found the actual play kind of annoying. Try it for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

These games are ones I used to always pass up but played one a while ago because I couldn't find anything else that day. I was surprised how relaxing and enjoyable I found it. This one has very detailed pictures, nice textures and colors and designs. I'll buy this (probably wait for a sale).
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed all the Dig the Ground games, but I prefer this match 3 version even more than the chain match versions. There are a few things to be figured out as you go but that makes it more fun and challenging IMO.
I recommend this game!

This plays very similarly to Fantasy Mosaics. You can work everything out through logic - no guessing. The illustrations are simple but clear. The game does get more complex as you move along. It's a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

Although I prefer nonograms to be able to be solved with no guesswork, I really enjoyed this and you can use "hints" instead of guessing with no penalty. The need for hints was really minimal anyway. The images were solid/well done, and the story was intriguing. Bought this one.
I recommend this game!
