This is so refreshing, it's a fun change from every thing I've played. It's nearly monochromatic theme is unique for today's games. But that said, the artwork really is well thought out and finding the characters and objects not a slam dunk. You will be clicking on everything, leave no stone unturned; everything has a reaction to your cursor. The aliens and characters are abundant and the hunt will be interesting with the clues given. It's whimsy, relaxing and keeps you moving that cursor all over the scenes. enjoy! Hope they do another.
Of all the Jewel Match games this one is my favorite. The art work is beautiful, the levels are challenging without being annoying. I choose to play the relaxed version and it's a great way to just chill after a busy day. The music is nice and goes well with the theme. The challenge levels are fun as well. This one for me is well worth buying the Collectors Edition.
I've played the first and then this one, now on the third in this series. This one is futuristic Sci Fi and thoroughly interesting. There is no objectionable language or content but isn't for younger children as it depicts war and destruction . The puzzles are absolutely wonderful. Each puzzle is a task to complete to gather more information regarding an alien attack .. don't want to give too much information..If you like Sci-Fi this is for you. If you enjoy puzzles you can customize ; number of pieces, shapes, show a grid or not, placement of pieces (top, bottom or sides), Zoom, and really nice music, This is like the other two great relaxing fun.
Unlike other TM games I've played this one starts out with plenty of helpers/workers and moves right along. I just finished the demo and this will be a buy for me. I also really like that some of the things you build give you the choice of placement. The added historical notes are interesting and give the game more value as well. While the story is fantasy (you have to remove the dreaded filth), and has a theme often repeated and familiar with these games, the added features make it work very nicely and all in all it's fun!
I enjoy puzzle games and this one is Gorgeous! The music is perfect, the sounds are peaceful and satisfying as you place each piece of "glass" in the proper place. I knew it was a buy after the first puzzle but kept playing till the trial was finished. Would love to see more like this one!
Having a cute story line really makes this Clutter a lot more fun. Hope to see more like this one, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the puzzles that go with it are a nice addition as they have a purpose. The chaos puzzles are my least favorite as they force me to focus differently which is a good thing, but tricky too. I especially enjoy the Butterfly and Gem/Rock puzzles, the addition of those kind of things is a nice diversion from the stockpiles of you name its. Love the variety, hope to see lots more! Other possibles could be fabrics, wood types, or anything found in nature.. Great game, Thanks!
The reviews pretty much say everything I can about this one. I can sum it up as the perfect Dessert after the hard core games of it's genre. The story is fun, graphics are beautiful, everything works for me! I love especially the mini games you earn as you progress. What fun to have more to do after you finish the story. This is a real treat, not to be criticized, just played and enjoyed for the fun of it.

I bought the first True Detective Solitaire and even though I couldn't find any kind of story I really enjoyed the challenging play. The music! The music is wonderful and fun to listen to as you play each level. If you like solitaire that really makes you slow down and think about which card to choose, this game has it happening! It is sad that it is so much the same as the first. Even though the art work is very good and the game challenging, like Number one there's No story! The music is the same. I wish I could give it 5 stars, but sadly the devs really missed the mark. It's a toss up whether you choose the first one or this sequel/clone. Either one stands alone as a fun game but if you want something different between the two games it isn't there. Comon' 8Floor, try again!
This is one of the nicest puzzle patchwork games I've played. The designs are fun and the colors and textures of the pieces range from marble -like to Glass to gemstone in appearance. The music is really very nice and it is soothing! The sound effects are what you'd expect from using ceramic or glass type tiles, a nice "clink" when pieces are placed in their proper place. You can just replay the puzzle if you miss a spot; not having to finish then start it over. When you do choose to replay before finishing a puzzle, the new board will be a little different. Each board starts with a few pieces in place, just enough to get started. I find that often I have to ask for a hint for the first piece. It is a beautiful patchwork puzzle game that isn't a slam dunk - at least not for me. I will say that it is such a lovely mellow game that I don't mind needing to restart a puzzle, the music is enjoyable and even though there isn't a story line as such, you still are drawn into the scenes which are nicely in tune with the story of Alice in Wonderland. This is a game which I will return to when ever I want some restful and enjoyable time. Way to go Devs, let's see more like this!
Love Love this version! I just bought this new version and am finding it quite addictive and nicely challenging. Joe has raised his bar with this latest installment to his Clutter Collection. I find his biographic narration interesting and fun, a really different take on a "story". I'm still on the first quest in the gold mine and am enjoying the varied selection of puzzles and especially appreciate being able to choose how fast or slow I wish to work on each level. Something I discovered is that you can go to other puzzle areas of the game if you need a break from the quest you are working on. There are so many varied kinds of challenges, I think it's not gong to get boring any time soon, and I tend to lose interest with this kind of genre. Great Job Joe! Hope there's a #6...
