As a retired farm wife with a Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice, this game is horrendous ... the poor animals will become malnurished, sickly then they'll all starve to death. The farmer will be charged with the Animal Cruelty (an aggravated misdeamnor), convicted, he'll be ordered to pay a large fine and could be sentenced to spend some time in jail.
I played this game for the entire 1 hour trial hoping it would get better, it did not.
This game doesn't even begin to compare with Farmscapes which is a million times much more enjoyable than Farm Quest.
I absolutely positively will NOT purchase this game EVER.
Incidentally, my 6 year old granddaughter, who has several uncles who are successful hog and beef farmers said, "Grandma, this game is STUPID. It gives me a headache." For this reason, I will not recommend this game for children either.
I don't recommend this game.
Supercow must defeat the evil Professor Duriarti and his cloned animals to save his farm friends.

I'm in my late 50's, married, a full time housewife, the mother of 17 children and have 14 grandchildren with 3 more on the way later this year. I play computer games at night to relax after spending another hectic day cleaning our home, cooking & baking, doing laundry, yardwork, running errands, etc.
This would be a great game for my grandchildren ... they'd love it. I personally didn't care for it ... much too easy, not challenging. I played up to Level 10, I believe, before I decided to call it quits. I got quite good when I played Donkey Kong and Mario & Luigi with my children while they were growing up and this isn't much different.
I strongly recommend this game for families who have young children. I don't think teenagers would enjoy this game because there is no violence in this game at all.
The majority of teenagers I know personally, including my own grandchildren, don't like games that are not full of "blood & guts." Supercow is a refreshing change from that, I must admit. (Yeah! The game world needs more of this type of game.)
I recommend this game!

I'm in my late 50's, married, full time housewife, have 17 children and 14 grandchildren with 3 more due the end of this year. I play computer games at the end of another hectic day of cleaning our home, cooking & baking, doing laundry, yardwork, running errands, etc.
Although I enjoyed playing the one hour free trial of this game very much, I will NOT purchase it because it's too similar to other Solitaire games of this type such as Pirate Solitaire, Crime Solitaire, Mystery Solitaire, etc. ... one number higher or lower than the turned up card.
In this game, you find "potion" cards that unlock cards that have a padlock over them. Whoopdidoo ... boring! You get extra points for playing a card that is the same suit as the turned up card ... whoopdidoo ... boring!
This game is not a lot different than the solitaire games that I mentioned above, each of which I own, incidentally.
I'm looking for a Solitaire game that puts a delightful spin on an old Solitaire favorite or is something new and different altogether. This is NOT the description of Legends of Solitaire: The Lost Cards, however.
If you don't own any other solitaire games in which you chose a card that is one number higher or lower than the turned up card, this game would be worth purchasing, but if you're like me and own several similar to this, purchasing Legends of Solitaire: The Lost Cards is just a waste of money.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm in my late 50's. married, the mother of 17 children and have 14 grandchildren with 3 more due the end of this year. I play computer games at night to relax after spending a hectic day cleaning our home, cooking & baking, doing laundry, running errands, etc.
I think the first few levels of this game are awesome when played in the Relaxed setting but then it gets to a level that for me, I have thus far spent about 90 minutes trying to complete this level without any success thus far. I'm almost to the point where I think this level is unbeatable which is why I gave this game only 3 stars, along with "OK" for fun factor, and "Poor" for Level of Challenge.
I lose complete interest in a game in which a level appears to be unbeatable such is the case in this game. If I had realized this, I would never have thrown my money away to purchase this game.
For this reason, I will NOT recommend purchasing this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm in my late 50's, married, the mother of 17 children and have 14 grandchildren with 3 more on the way later this year. I play computer games to relax after a busy day of cleaning our home, laundry, cooking & baking, yard work, running errands, etc.
I enjoyed playing a few minutes of the trial of this game so I purchased Evolver thinking that there had to be more to this game then what was available in the free trial. I was then immensely disappointed, however, because there are only 3 levels, none of which are very difficult or challenging. The entire game took me about 15 to 20 minutes to complete then it was over in the blink of an eye, figeratively speaking.
I then replayed the entire game but getting a faster time score was not difficult at all and this time it only took me about 10 minutes to complete the entire game.
The graphics are nothing to write home about ... I've seen better, I've seen much worse. I don't know about the sound because by the end of the day I enjoy peace and quiet so I played this game with my speakers turned off. (Noise makes my headache worse.)
For these reasons, I will not recommend purchasing this game.
If you enjoy Match 3 games, I strongly recommend playing the free trial because this game is very fun, what little there is of it but don't throw your money away by purchasing this game.
If you have money to throw away, you'd be better ahead to donate the money to a charity such as St. Jude's Children's Hospital, for example, than by purchasing this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I hated Clutter 1 that I thought was extremely BORING. I played Clutter 2 after reading a lot of positive reviews but I think Clutter 2 is even more BORING than Clutter 1, in fact, it gave me an enormously severe headache.
This is definitely NOT the game for me either to buy or as a "free" game with my Big Fish Games membership.
Each to their own, I don't expect others to hate this game just because I do or to like every game that I like. I'm in my late 50's, I know better than that.
I recommend that if you have not played this game yet, do so then decide for yourself. Maybe you will be one of the people that like this game.
Incidentally, none of my 17 children and 14 grandchildrren like this game either but that's just us.
I don't recommend this game.

I tried this game because it looked interesting but it isn't for me. I personally don't like timed games unless the game offers a relaxed mode which this game does not. Also, for an old lady like me this game is too confusing. I played 10 minutes of the hour free trial then called it quits and uninstalled it.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm in my late 50's, very happily married, the mother of 17 children and I have 14 grandchildren. I play computer games to relax after a hectic day of cleaning our home, cooking, baking, doing laundry, dishes, working in our yard, grocery shopping, running errands, etc.
I enjoy playing Solitaire games and I also enjoy Hidden Object games so I really enjoy Solitaire Mystery: Hidden Power. I'm not into reading of cards which I personally think is absurd but the Solitaire games are relaxing for me and the Hidden Object games are a bit challenging but definitely not impossible to find even with poor vision such as I have.
If you don't like playing Solitaire games, you probably won't enjoy this game either and the same goes for Hidden Object games. If you don't like searching for hidden objects you probably won't like this game either because this game is a nice blend of both
I don't mind having to dust off cards or spray them to find out what the cards are. If you've gotten used to cleaning your home as I have, dusting or spraying cards is no big deal.
Some of the reviews I read are not giving the creators of this game a fair break. It isn't the creators fault that some people don't like playing Solitaire games or they don't like Hidden Object games! If they read the game description BEFORE they started playing this game they would have had an idea of what this game was about BEFORE they began playing this game and would not have been disappointed.
Here is my advice to anyone comtemplating playing this game and I'll repeat what I said above:
if you do not like playing Solitare games, you probably won't enjoy playing this game.
if you don't like playing Hidden Object games, you probably won't enjoy playing this game.
But, having said that, I think everyone should play the free trial of this game, ignore all of the reviews (good & bad), then decide for yourself if you like this game or if you don't.
I bought this game after I played the free trial. I really enjoy it. I enjoyed this game so much that I'm now playing this game for the 2nd time and I have to add that I'm enjoying it as much the 2nd time as I did the first time.
I recommend this game!

I'm the mother of 17 children and have 14 grandchildren with 2 more on the way later this year. I play computer games in the evening to relax and have some quiet time after a busy day of grocery shopping, cleaning our home, doing our laundry, running errands, ccoking and baking, caring for our spoiled pets, cleaning up our yard, etc.
Puzzle Park starts out disquestingly easy and doesn't pose a challenge at all which gave me the false impression that this game is for people much younger than I am but I kept playing it to see if this game would improve.
Toward the end of my hour trial, I was pleasantly surprised how wrong I was about this game. The more I played Puzzle Park the more enjoyable it became and addictive so I bought it. About six hours later, at 1:50 a.m., I finally was able to stop myself from playing Puzzle Park long enough to write this review.
The graphics, sound, music are very good. The game play premise is to make matches of 3 or more in order to get rid of the brown squares and get the star down to the bottom of the board so it drops off. As I said earlier, at first this is disquestingly easy to accomplish but don't let the beginning levels fool you. These tasks get more difficult to do as this game progresses. Fortunately though, you keep earning bonuses to help you accomplish these tasks such as a hammer, a tornado, a bomb, paint, and many more. You also win rewards (trophies) for completing levels.
You play numerous levels with one background, then you encounter different backgrounds such as an old wild west town, for example, and many more. The match 3 objects change with each background which keeps this game interesting, not boring. For example, in the wild west town, the match 3 objects include cactus, sheriff's badge, gun, and many more. The bonus levels are fun and increase in difficulty as this game progresses which adds to the enjoyment of this game.
If you enjoy match 3 games, you are going to love Puzzle Park. If at first you don't think this game is very good, do yourself a favor and keep playing Puzzle Park. I can almost guarantee that your impression of this game will improve as this game progresses.
Puzzle Park is a very enjoyable game that is suitable for the entire family from the age of about 5 years up to 105.
I recommend this game!

I'm the mother of 17 children and have 14 grandchildren with 2 more on the way later this year. (Smile!# I play Jewel Match games to relax at the end of each day of cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.
As in the previous 2 versions of Jewel Match, this one is extremely addictive and now is even better than ever. If you've never played the previous 2 versions, I strongly recommend it. If you have played the previous 2 versions, you're going to love Jewel Match 3.
The storyline is rebuilding a kingdom. When you earn enough points, you build another addition onto the castle. There are numerous castles to build as well as numerous people that you have to break out of the crystal that an evil man enclosed them in. You also are to plant flowers, use bug killer on them and water them after you've completed every level.
The mini games are very fun and challenging ... jigsaw puzzles and hidden objects to find. I enjoy every aspect of this game.
If you're a Jewel Match lover as I am, Jewel Match 3 is a must own addition for your Jewel Match collection.
Incidentally, I now own all 3 Jewel Match games. I play one of them for about an hour or so, then I switch to another one that I play for about an hour or so, then I switch to the third one that I play for about an hour or so. When I've completed the entire game, I play them over again and haven't got tired of playing any of them yet. #I'm currently playing Jewel Match 3 for the 3rd time!)
I recommend this game!
