This is a nice game for those of you who love animals. One thing I want to say right away, is that other reviewers are misleading about not being able to save the game and come back to where you left off. That is simply not true. The game does require you to finish each weeks work in the shop before signing off, or you will lose your progress. The calendar comes up and shows clearly where the next week is beginning. If you choose to quit here, hit the word continue, then escape and then quit. When you come back, you will start at the exact week (or point) that you left off. That aside, I really enjoyed the game. Lots of new challenges & upgrades to keep the game going at a nice pace. This is a demo review, but so far, I am really enjoying it. I almost didn't try it because of the saving game issue, which would have been a shame because it is a good game. Give it a try & see what you think fishies! Enjoy
I have many match 3 games. This particular game is very memorable because it is beautiful, challenging & has high replay value. A great value to me, is if the game keeps you coming back to play over a period of months or even years. For me, that does not happen often. I get bored very quickly with most games, even if I like them quite a bit. Unfortunately, that means I own about 70 games and replay a very small percentage of them. This game for me, is a happy exception. It is very similar to the Jewel Match games, but it is unique because of the gardens that you build up and maintain. The power ups are very helpful, although most of the time I try not to use them to challenge myself further. The game is timed or relaxed which I really enjoy because I'm not into beating a clock. If you are looking for a great match 3 game, this one is it, in my opinion. Graphics are beautiful, game is challenging, but not too difficult. Pretty wallpapers are available after each restoration of a palace. The game is also relaxing & music very nice. I'm glad I own it and enjoy coming back to play whenever I miss my favorite genre--Match 3. I hope you enjoy it as I did.
I recommend this game!

This is truly a wonderful, lighthearted platform game. I am reviewing the demo hour and I felt so much like a kid again! (I'm not!) I just beat Supercow which was the best game ever. This is very similar and has a lot of variety of things that Jumpin Jack must do to save all of his numerous kids. There are all kinds of animals to beat--jumping fish, worms, spiders, but none of them are creepy because the artwork is sooo cute. Blocks to break, hearts to retrieve, moving trees to make paths for yourself-sliding down steep hills. It reminded me of sledding as a child. That exhilarated feeling you got when you reached the bottom of the hill. I will buy this one. I have a lot of games, and I'd say Supercow is my favorite with this one in 2nd place. I do not replay my games much but the platform type games offer you something different each time you play and I really like the variety. Try the demo, it's lighthearted and great fun. Hope you enjoy it like I did.

This game starts out nice and easy. You are a trainer in a gym and it is up to you to decide which machines each person has to use to help them meet their fitness goal. If they need to lose weight you use equipment like a treadmill, then a bike etc. You help each customer by directing them to the best, most effective machines for them. Like I said, the beginning is easy, but things get more difficult when you have a line of people waiting and you have to help people if they have a question which is ALWAYS! You are also in charge of the cash register so it can get very busy. You do have one trainer that helps you and eventually you get a man that cleans the machines. After about ten levels you move to a different gym so things don't get dull. I really do enjoy the game and if you want to get things off your mind for awhile, this game is perfect since you need to be thinking and on the ball constantly. You can buy upgrades on all machines and tv and juice machine. I find myself coming back to play this game every now & then. Give it a try. Happy gaming!
I enjoyed this game so much! There is a nice storyline to the game. Tom, a little boy, comes to stay at Grandpa's farm for the summer. The characters interact with you as they improve the farm. There is a threat to the little farm which I won't spoil for you. There is a fairly minimal amount of Hidden Object which helps to move the game along. The match 3 starts easy, but gets harder as you go. I just want to say, I feel like a big kid. The game is soooo much fun. I keep coming back to it. After you buy items for Grandpa's farm--Joe, you can come back and do the same for two other farms. I am now moving through the second farm, and the match 3 is getting very challenging, but not overwhelming. I find myself wanting to play this game a lot mainly due to wonderful graphics, a good story, and sweet characters. I loved every minute of the game & I highly recommend it. I never want it to end!! Enjoy
