I wasn't sure about trying this game, but it is certainly different for a bricks type of game. The story is set on some planet, looking for the temple, with all sorts of obstacles, bonuses to catch, including crystals, an acid dropping flower, very unusual plants to get rid of, when you can get around the rocks & other projections,in the process of trying to get the most points for each level, At the end of each level, there is a stone like score plaque, showing exactly what you got points for eg bonuses caught & crystals etc. There are also levels where you have to try & catch bunches of crystals, which are helpful. In between each level is a bit more of the story, & instructions/clues This reminds me very much of a cross between Ball buster collection & Fairy treasure, both of which I enjoy, rather than the original brick games. This review is only based on an hours play, but if you enjoy brick type games, this is a nice change.
I love this game. It is a fairly typical popper game, but on the cute side, & the sound effects are pleasant, the map graphics are good, not so keen on the characters or the story line. I escape it as much as possible. ie press ESC! You have to catch anything from eggs (at end of each level) which is different & you have to be quick. There are other things to catch, in order to help you as you play. Sort of reminds me of some Luxor aspects I only got to level 8, in the hour trial, but was hooked, got it, & couldn't stop playing till the wee hours!! But then I am my worst competition!!! If you are a fan, or want some light hearted fun, then I recommend this.
Well my hour of demo was over pretty quickly, which means I didn't get to figure out exactly what was going on. ie I would have a few cards left & suddenly it was a strike or a spare, but the notification disappears so quickly you don't have time to read any details, & then it's on with the next game or level. All I knew was that if I clicked/matched the yellow cards that was a good thing - maybe extra points or something. Somehow I also earned money, which I imagine was to buy something useful at some stage. Demo never got me that far! The scoring at the end of a game/level, appears just like a real Bowling score sheet, so at least I got to see one lot of my results. The graphics are OK, music fairly unnoticeable. Despite being a little bamboozled, I was actually quite enjoying it when Demo finished. If you like Solitaire games, then this may be for you. I was almost ready to rush in to buy it, but decided to give it more thought , or else use a credit.
This is a fairly typical Mahjong Game, with attractive tiles & good graphics. The hour trial was over in a seeming flash, much to my surprise. The plan is to collect a certain number of golden tiles, & also a given number of other tiles within a certain time limit, in order to get the maximum determined points, different each game,so this can keep you on your toes/fingers!! It also has shuffle option. You can get trophies, & graduate to different titles. In the beginning you are a student & therefore it teaches you as you play for a short time, & if you think too long, it will hilight 2 free tiles. That was as far as I got, so I am not sure I need another mahjong game, especially after being spoilt with Mahjong Match, which is so different to other M Games
I recommend this game!

The graphics are gorgeous & I was enjoying the game once I got used to all the notes/instructions on screen etc but it lost me when it asked if I needed something in the store but I couldn't get it despite having enough coins, as far as I could see. I couldn't even close the game down. Maybe others are more capable than I am & won't have this seeming problem. Pity I had to give up, as it is so pretty & had the potential to be great.
