There are 8 aquariums to be had with each having up to 3 gold cups to be earned. I gave this game a 3 star rating because of the fact that you LITERALLY have to make each aquarium look like a junkyard before you can add more fish to them and I, personally, do NOT like that at all.
If the aquarium screen took up my WHOLE monitor screen, I may not be so disconcerted about having to add more and more and more and more ornaments but with said screen only taking up the middle portion of my monitor while leaving a good portion unused on either side of my monitor screen, the amount of ornaments just makes everything look crowded and messy.
I recommend this game!

I'm not the fastest person against the timer (BTW, click on that hourglass whenever, wherever you see it but as long as you use your power-ups particularly the hatchet and bomb# then you should honestly have no problem #except for the VERY LAST level of the game# beating every level.
I only had to repeat 2 levels out of the ENTIRE GAME!!!! For me, THAT'S a miracle. The 1st lost level was because I FORGOT to use my power-up and the 2nd lost level #which I only had to repeat doing once because I paid attention to the hourglass popping up on the tiles -- 2 of them# is a bear to beat.
Unlike most other timed Match3 games, the power-ups become available rather quickly PARTICULARLY if you look at the little pictures next to each power-up -- a mace, a star, a book, etc. as that'll inform you which tiles you may need to go after most often in order to continue the level. The stones can only be gotten rid of with the bomb so you need to go after whatever picture is next to that bomb more often in order to make said power-up useful quicker than the other power-up tiles.
I have to say #other than the Montezuma games# this is one of the few TIMED #yes, this games DOES have a relaxed version) games that I actually enjoyed playing.
I recommend this game!

This game is a very nice game; HOWEVER, if you happen to be in an area where you KNOW that there's something that you NEED TO DO but do NOT have the object in your inventory but SHOULD, the hint button will NOT recognize the fact that you've MISSED picking up the object and does NOT direct you to the area in which to pick up the missing inventory object.
I found that to be VERY frustrating and hence, the low scoring mark.
I recommend this game!

I have to say that I DID like the different play methodology BUT yellow mushroom, brown mushroom, honey mushroom not to mention violet bottle, violet, lilac bottle (that looked pink) and coffee beans looking the same as mud also looking the same as brown stone. In addition to that, the objects sometimes overlapped each other making it difficult to pick one item over the other.
Also the "silence" potion is supposed to stop SERIOUS attacks for 5 minutes; REALLY?? It appears that someone forgot to tell the demons that.
The GOOD news is that you can change from "normal" play (where the good guy can die) to "easy" (where the good guy NEVER dies, no matter how long it takes you to complete the level) and then go the the Menu Options and change back to "normal" play.
While I do recommend this game, I do so with reservation.
I recommend this game!

I RARELY buy CE games due to their price and due to the idea that the SE has, for the most part, been satisfying enough play for me BUT I did buy 4 CE games due to BigFish's 2 CE's for the price of one.
The other CE games that I've purchased have been okay (except for 1 which I found to be VERY disappointing) BUT this game, buying the CE version is a must IF you're interested as to the REASON why the witch is SO adamant as to her contention that said prince promised to marry HER and NOT the other woman.
As a matter of fact, you not only discover the reason but you end up cheering her on and WANTING to help her to successfully accomplish her mission.
I recommend this game!

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this game:
*interactive map (don't forget to use the arrows when the time comes)
*clear indication as to where to go next to perform a task
*hint button not only EXTREMELY helpful as to WHAT TO DO, it has character -- hm...what to do next; oh yeah, how about....
*you get 2 helpful critters -- just don't forget to use them like I did on occasion; hint would say .... and I'd think -- duh, of course
Some people don't like this type of hand-holding but I LOVE it as it provides a very relaxing but thought-provoking game wherein if you get stuck, the answer is at your fingertips. Besides, I do believe that this game has 3 difficulty modes to choose from.
I recommend this game!

I've NO IDEA how a person is supposed to meet the sales goals when I CLEARLY sold ALL 3 items and there were NO MORE items left to sell.
In addition, with the smiley face turning grim, I STILL received a 3 1/2 point (out of 5) customer satisfaction rating so what in the world is this game looking for?
I don't recommend this game.

This is a nice comfortable Match3 game but I have to admit that I'm a tad confused by it. On 3 occasions, I OBVIOUSLY cleared ALL tiles within the given time BUT because it was so close to the end of the hourglass and despite having a slight amount (to me it seemed, anyway) of "sand" left, instead of saying "level complete", the game told me that my time had run out.
YES, YOU CAN PLAY RELAXED!!!
The saving grace, for me, of this game is that you CAN toggle between timed and relaxed modes between each level.
I became upset with the "time ran out" comment on Level 5, so I went to the Options in the Main Menu and UNticked the timed mode and returned to the game. I expected to start at Level 1 but the game returned me to Level 5; YEAH
I then returned to the Options in the Main Menu and REticked the timed mode and returned to the game at Level 6 (after completing Level 5, of course) and continued in the timed mode for the rest of the demo.
I have to say that I am strongly considering using my game coupon on this game as I've got to "use it or lose it" by tomorrow.
Since this game can be played in BOTH timed and relaxed modes PLUS a gamer has the option to TOGGLE between the 2 modes, I am certain that this game'll meet everyone's expectations of happiness.
I recommend this game!

I was moving right along playing the several levels within each room when I came upon Rooms 8 & 9 (or was it 7 & 8?) and after MANY attempts was unable to beat the level(s); at the end of the level, the game'll ask you if you want to skip the level or retry the level and though disappointed in having to do so, I finally conceded and skipped the levels that I was unable to beat.
This game is NOT timed which again, is a BIG plus for me but I do have to admit that within the last room, I did NOT enjoy the constant scream as I rid a tile of a ghost; personally, I could've done without that.
Overall, this game is a very nice game and if you skip certain levels that you're unable to beat, then it's not as long as it appears as I found the previous rooms quite easy to do.
I recommend this game!

In all Amazing Adventure games and actually I THINK in all the PopCap games, if you accidentally click off the widescreen, just look at the top of your game area and you'll see the area where there's a minus sign, a double square and an "X" -- just like on your browser when you're on-line; just click on the double square within your game area and the game screen will automatically return to full screen.
I recommend this game!
