I generally love match 3 games but this one was bad. I couldn't progress past the 7th (?) level! The counter said I had two more tiles to get rid of but I couldn't find them. There was a line of plain wood boxes above the locked wood boxes where I'm guessing the two remaining tiles were? But no way to get to them. The bottle at the bottom left was way past full but no way to buy tools to progress! I finally gave up with 20 minutes left on the demo!

After it took FOUR tries for it to actually open so I could play it & after playing the demo, I wished it hadn't opened. Too much back & forth, too MUCH TALKING that you can't skip & having to use the hint way more than I like! This was just at best annoying & a no-buy for me!

The game flashed/flickered at me through more than half of the demo (very annoying), also too much dialogue. Although I didn't have any trouble with clicking like another reviewer. But I almost fell off of my chair laughing when Sir Rottenmier (or whatever the guy's name was) appeared, the armor, the weird mohawk? As a matter of fact, most of the characters were weird.

I generally love the Jewel Match games (I bought a couple) but this one didn't draw me in. First, it seemed like we were back at the very beginnings of the series. Seemed a bit clunky & instructions were a bit vague. I couldn't get out of the first 'pearl' level, nothing would move except for that directional arrow pointing up! I finally just hit the home button, then the map & went on to the next level! Frustrating to say the least. Castle building was strange, it takes you back & forth & no 'previews' of parts to come when you hover over the next part.
I generally like the games with Dupin but this one was very annoying. Not enough direction, I had to keep hitting the hint button. Also, too much dialogue. Plus this was another game in the last few weeks where my computer warned me that the game couldn't be downloaded securely?
Am I the only one who noticed that PP is called Peter Pen?

As the others have said this is a game for the kids. Not much of a challenge. I also found it odd that he was called Peter PEN throughout the demo not Peter PAN!
I felt like I was back in the beginnings of HOG's. The instruction was nonexistent, having to click around or use the hint button to figure out what to do is annoying. When the demo was over I kept waiting for the exit button which never appeared, I had to C/A/D to get out of the game. That in & of itself is UNACCEPTABLE!
I generally like Match 3 games, mostly the ones where you 'build' something. This one is bad. You just go from level to level with nothing in between. There's no real challenge. I was so bored I quit after the first 7 minutes, then came back to it & lasted maybe 15 minutes before I gave up.

I played this about 6 months ago (give or take a couple of months) at another site, can't remember which one? But even then I finished it in less than 30 minutes. I like the decorating/HO games but most (including this one) have way too many things to decorate with. When you finish this particular property it looks horrible because of all the random stuff. I liked the first two, this one is just alright. I finished in about 20 minutes. I think BF should just put it on the site as a freebie.
I don't recommend this game.

I wanted to like this, everyone was giving it glowing reviews. I spent half of the EIGHTEEN MINUTE DEMO trying to figure out what to do. Back & forth, back & forth. As soon as I got the huge 'door' open, the game says thanks for playing? Eighteen minutes. That has to be a record?
