As others have stated, this is a basic solitaire game which is not an issue for me. I actually stopped the demo to make the purchase and am glad I did.
I won't go into detail about game play because another player has done a good job with description. I love the graphics and the music is decent calm and relaxing.
As for the location of the "end game banner", mousing up is not an issue for me. "It cover cards..."; yes it does cover the remaining cards but makes an appearance when you have completed the level even though you can continue to clear if you desire. You do not have to clear all cards on every level, although you do score points to clear when required.
I disagree with other reviews regarding a dull experience with the game colors. I love the matted hues and even halted game play to post a review. In an age where everyone is striving to outdo with bold glaring colors, this gaming experience offers a nice respite. Try it, you'll like it!
I stopped the demo after solving only 3 puzzles to purchase game. I love the colors(I didn't have problems) and the music is soothing. The colors are vibrant and the sound as you tick off each tile is satisfying.
If you love griddlers/mosaics, you should enjoy this game!
When I read the first review which stated that the developer didn't know what they were doing, I knew I had to try this game. So I downloaded the trial and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was from Shady Raccoon. I currently own the world World Theatres griddler game and love it.
If you don't like to be challenged then don't purchase but do try for yourself. I went ahead and purchased carnival griddlers because I love these games. The only drawback is the music for this one. I don't really care for it. Other than that, keep up the good work Shady Raccoon!
After reading the other reviews, I decided to go ahead and try the demo. Glad I did. It is challenging with little gimmees which I enjoyed. The jazzy music was okay. As far as the graphics, well I didn't have a problem differentiating the cards(the photos on the cards are easy match-ups) and I do depend on glasses for computer use. I'll probably come back to purchase on sale just to finish the game!
Love this clever and awesome game. The mini games within the story are both fun and unique. I don't know why there are bad reviews but this game is definitely worth your money!
