I would have given this 4stars if the fog did not decide my next step. I did not enjoy the fog "dictated" what step i do next- what's the point of calling it a strategy game when the outcome is already decided for the gamers? What a shame this could have been a great game. Don't get me wrong it's still a fun game but not one for me. I like the strategy aspect in games of this genre.
I recommend this game!

those who like FROG will enjoy this one as that's all it seems to be. Looks like the a very short game. I do not like it but give it a go. This is one of those games you MUST try before you buy.
I don't recommend this game.

Great fun for kids...match items and create a path for Cinderella to help the fairy clear up the mess. Along the way Cindy meets other villagers who asks for help like feed the cow or need a telescope.
What's nice is that HO and mini games break the repetitive M3 mode. HO are three of this or that (i.e 3x combs or gloves) and they are well hidden.
Nice break from the dark HO games.

Waste of money to buy this one - offers nothing but Junk pile. Sure mini puzzles are easy and cute but all HOS are rubbish. Good thing Santa hints fast as you will need it. Most objects too small to see. The little kids will get frustrated with this perhaps better for older kids but then again older kids with PS3 have games which is heaps more fun than this.
There's a lot of other Christmas games out there - don't waste your money or time on this rubbish. Be kind to your eyes don't play this lots of squinting. I never liked the other two either -same old junk you'd think they would have done better with this.
I will never recommend this game -even if it's free.

this one is more Time Management/ Strategy and bit of HO.
Pirate themed game where you are given objectives or goals like collecting mask, boots, food. You only collect 5 HO per goal. Some are list type others are silhouette. Sometimes you look for items in the dark. It's junk pile and very repetitive - same location, same things to find tho' they do move some items but not always. There's heaps of hints but it costs you diamonds so be careful or you will run out of diamonds which you need to buy food or the game cannot move on.

You get diamonds, coins, other stuff and you go to a store to buy food for energy, chest which has treasures in them. You also get achievements. You get so many rewards or stuff like stars, ribbons, feathers, buttons, scissors which I cannot figure out just yet what I will use them for- perhaps needed later on?
There is a map which you click/ drag to show other areas like caves, wrecked plane, UFO, pirate ship, ruins. Seems there are lots of levels. You also get to choose the character you want to be.
WARNING: Stay away from the "bank" button where you need to pay to get more diamonds to buy food. Beware!!! do not buy or you start paying. I played for an hour and never had to buy anything. The key to this game is strategy so you never run out of food and you can keep playing.
This is a sort of game which you either like or you don't. Still heaps better than the free to play Sushi that's for sure.
I recommend this game!

if you like HOs from one room to the next you might like to try this. Some got 12 of this and 12 of that; most of the time list is given and almost all objects in the room you click on to get rid of junk. Some rooms are dark and you need to light up room slowly. Click on fairies to recharge hint. Penalty click releases ghosts. Mini games are very easy and repetitive. this is just too easy perhaps best for beginners to HO.
I recommend this game!

Unsure about this one. For some reason this game reminds me of Princess Isobelle.
The visuals are stunning. I enjoyed changing the seasons and blown away to find all the appropriate changes in the other rooms . The devs did an amazing job with the visuals but not the VO.
Thumbelina's voice was so irritating so better turn the sounds off. Another thing I did not like was too much hand holding. IMO the game suits beginners on HOPA.
With Thumbelina's voice the prince should go with the hot looking witch.
If only for the visuals yes I would recommend you try this.
I recommend this game!

What's new? Game starts with 10x10 grid, no mention of what the item is so you have no clue and a puzzle piece is "earned" after completing levels. Sadly devs decided to take the fun out of that too as they put the puzzle together for you. IMO the devs did this hastily cos even the music was exactly the same as WM5.
I am currently playing WM5 (Christmas portion) so I am very sure about the music. I am terribly disappointed with this game I quit after 30mins and went back enjoying WM5.
Others found it awesome so I am definitely a minority here. Do try it before you buy so you have no regrets.
I don't recommend this game.

I like puzzles but this was so boring. I agree with splash of colours but that's the only thing nice about this game. No challenge at all. Where to put the pieces is a given - a no brainer kind of game. If you like a game where you do not need to think maybe this will suit.
Not for me but try it. Games are a matter of preference so what works for me might not work for you.

You need to get all resources to build the wall. You need to plan before you make a move. It's similar to Northern tale but that one was heaps more fun.
This game is not bad at all but not that great either. The objects were tiny and lots of times the screen goes dark - I know it's night time but what's the point of going into night mode when clearly the workers cannot stop and must keep on working for us to get the 3stars? Having said that it is quite challenging to get 3stars on all levels. Clearly it's not as easy as it looks. A good TM game.
Not buying this - there are better TM games than this. But give it a go....still great fun for an hour.
I recommend this game!
