I admit right up-front: this game is short on story. A short intro suggests that you need to gather 80 crystals (confirmed by a short video at the end) - but story really isn't the point of the game. It is a matching game - new, different and challenging! Premise is actually rather simple: match different tiles (they really are tiles moreso than stones), which causes them to collapse (upward). First few levels explain gameplay pretty well. After that, its 70+ additional levels of the same, but with increasing difficulty and objectives. What I really like about this game is the absence of a story to worry about - and a total focus on gameplay/strategy. Some levels only took 1 try to score 3 stars (the more tiles you play, the fewer stars you earn). Some levels (fortunately, only a few) were REALLY difficult and took multiple attempts. But that's what I liked - you have to focus on strategy to get through all 80 levels. Overall - I found this a lot of fun and if you're looking for a total "strategy" (not story-driven) game - I would recommend it.
I recommend this game!

I simply cannot recommend this game, especially when compared to the other Fishdom games. This game has multiple levels in the mid-50s levels that simply are not fun to play. The CONSTANTLY growing oil slicks are fun sometimes, but they make many levels un-fun, constant fights against the clock and not the relaxing, enjoyable games I had come to expect. And the "time bombs" have the same effect. Having to replay a level six, seven or even more time because there is an ever-expending oil slick you cannot stop or a timed bomb you cannot stop does NOT make for the fun I had hoped for. Maybe this game is fun for some ... but NOT for me.
I don't recommend this game.
Help Joe and Tom repair an old barn and prepare for the harsh winter in Barn Yarn, a unique mix of Hidden Object and simulation!

Not the most challenging hidden object game, but sure is a fun way to relax and enjoy! I've played all the games with Joe and Tom - they're all fun, enjoyable, make you think - but not too hard! - and are a great way to just sit back, relax and play as much or as little as you want! Love 'em -- hoping for more!
I recommend this game!
