If you found the original Sparkle too difficult (I did), please give this one a try. It is a lot more fun to play. I finished it in 2 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The power-ups are much easier to obtain, the "marbles" are a lot bigger so that you don't have to strain your eyes to see them, and the chains seem to go slower #or maybe its just me#. The "secrets" are still there to find. I didn't look for or find any of them which may have been the reason the ending was so abrupt, but I don't play marble-poppers for the story-line, I play for the fun. Anyway, if you found yourself uninstalling the original Sparkle because it was just too much, you can actually finish this one without getting totally frustrated. Go for it!.
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game. The graphics are sharp and clear, the storyline is good, hidden objects are fairly easy to find and puzzles are not too difficult. The length of the game is good too.
What I appreciated most though, was the MAP. There was the usual amount of back and forth but because there is a map for you to click on to get you from place to place it never became tedious, annoying and frustrating. Also, the map tells you whether there is any action left to do at each location so that you aren't continually wondering what to do next. That feature may make it too easy for hard-core HOS gamers but for me, who likes to play a game for enjoyment and not so much the challenge, it made a huge difference.
Overall, I would highly recommend this game to casual HOS gamers, who may find Hidden Object games very frustrating because of the constant back and forth aspect. This game removes that and leaves you with an enjoyable experience.
I recommend this game!

Finally! A Match-3 game that's fun, unique and challenging.
The power-ups are like the Montezuma series where you have to match two groups of three to activate them. You have to concentrate on what power-ups do what, and there are lots of them. One freezes the board temporarily so you can move the pieces you want underneath the item you have to get to the bottom of the board.
As a Match-3 expert, I've been looking for a game that's a little more challenging, and this is it! Give it a try if you're looking for something different and fun.
I recommend this game!

All I can say is.......this game is insanely difficult!!!! It lures you into a sense of fun in the demo, then once you buy it - within a very short time span, it gets EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. It is totally frustrating because it is impossible to get through the higher levels!!!!
It could have been a very good game, but the unnecessary difficulty level has taken all hope of that away.
If you're into Match 3's at all, please don't waste your money on this game.
I don't recommend this game.
