I am intermediate to advanced match 3 player. I try trial versions frequently. Many times games are too easy for me. I tried this. I was surprised. This is the first match 3 game that I've found that is very challenging. Bonus and power ups are a little hard to earn. If different ones are used at same time, they are recharged separately one at a time. So you have to get one recharged before game will start to recharge the other. Makes you careful about their use.There is a variet of icons to match up. You have customers that request individual orders. You must match up number of icons to fill order. 10 anchovies, 8 garlic and so on. But due to the variety of icons you may only have 3 or 4 of requested icons scattered across playing grid at any one time. This causes a high frustration factor. After completing different levels or jobs different mini games show up such as find the differences. I do not like that you can;t go back to previous puzzle. I like to get 3 stars. So, I go back and redo levels to get them. This also helps me to figure out best ways to do certain formations. If you have a low frustration factor then think carefully about getting this game.

I have done all of the previous Rainbow Mosaics. This one was not as good. There were a lot of things wrong. The pictures weren't as good, translations were poor, storyline wasn't that good. I enjoyed the others enough to complete multiple times. I don't have any desire to do this one twice. I did the first few mosaics under the trial. I was disappointed. I then thought that easy mosaics were first to attract beginners. I should have followed my instincts and passed on this one. I had the feeling that this was a rush job, new designers or apathy. If I had done this one first there is little chance I would have done others of this series.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a fun match 3 game. The visual/sound is very good. The challenge level may be a bit much for a beginner match 3 player. This can be helped by switching to the unlimited moves. The obstacles are fun because there are 4 types. Stone and straw blocks are stationary. The imps and spider webs proliferate. These increase the challenge level especially in the expert mode. I would like to make this 5 stars. I am not because the items needed to meet round goals are small to see for some one with vision problems.
I recommend this game!

It is easy to see how each version of the game improves. There are games I play to test myself. There I games I play for distraction. Then there are games I play to unwind and turn my mind off. This is all of them all one rolled up in one. I have had this game for a few months. I haven't completed the main storyline. This is due to the minigames that can be played without the storyline. I can choose the minigame based on how I feel. A game to consider.
I recommend this game!

I only did the trial version. The theme is identical to Chateau Garden. Even the characters look the same. I didn't dislike the theme. I didn't enjoy it enough to complete it again. There were slight differences in how the game was played. I enjoyed the patience and strategy needed to complete Chateau. If better story line were different I would have considered purchasing this game.
I recommend this game!

Looking for a new game, I gave the trial version a go. I wasn't going to get it. The first mini game stumped me. I didn't play again for several weeks. In weeding out my trial games, I gave this one another go. I saw that I didn't read the instructions thoroughly. I finished the mini with no problems. After working my way through a few other mini games, I purchased it. I enjoyed the graphics. I really enjoyed the slight twist on well worn mini puzzles and HO. I didn't enjoy the storyline. The dark theme wasn't the problem. There were too many questions raised that weren't dealt with. (At least in this version). The attempt at reality was good. Then it would be spoiled by the character doing something totally stupid and unrealistic.Spoiler; she picks up an umbrella uses it, then put in a situation where she needs cover like that of an umbrella to complete a task. Instead she uses a tiny food tray 'for cover'. She has to use insulation gloves a few times. Then with no protection she fills a cup with acid from a shower head. With the exception of a few mini games (type I always have problems with),I overall enjoyed the game. I will warn to use care in working through areas. Some items needed are hidden with care and good graphics. Because if the dark theme think a little before getting it,
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this version a lot. Some mosaics were easy, others were a challenge. I liked earning the rewards. The story line was a bit weak but cute. My only real complaint is this. If you play mosaics a lot this is a problem. Doing each mosaic once and getting three stars does not earn enough coin to purchase everything. This means not getting reward.

I enjoy mosaic puzzles. They help me relax and think. This version didn't seem as good as earlier versions. I got the feeling of it being more recycled then new. If you don't have a lot of experience or haven't done many previous versions then this is enjoyable. I wish that when items appear in the courtyard there was a way to identify them. Otherwise they just seem to be a collection of animals and oddities. I couldn't figure out the theme.
I recommend this game!

I have played the other Rainbow Mosaic versions. That influenced why I got this. It is pretty good. I liked the combination of easy to difficult mosaics. I have one complaint. It is hard to get all the awards without replaying mosaics from the map. Coins are not earned by replaying mosaics from the done page. I completed puzzle with 3 stars for everything. Yet I did not earn the 20K award. I also did not get the award for purchasing all the in game aids. I feel that getting 3 stars for all should have been sufficient for getting the needed coins.
I recommend this game!

This is a fun game. It is deceptively easy. The goal is to click the appropriate type of tile to make a match of 3 or more. Tiles that move can make matches as they move. So it is possible with one well aimed tile to clear many and a variety. You must not allow tiles to get to bottom. Coins are earned to get the estate garden into shape. It is possible to change an already bought design into something else. There are only 80 levels. For me that wasn't long enough. It is possible to complete the garden before finishing them. Coins continue to accumulate so garden can be changed any number of times. This is a game for all ages.
I recommend this game!
