I thought I would enjoy this game a lot more than I did. I love finding animal games but this was very repetitious. Got to the last level and was a bit annoyed at what I thought was a very short game but find that you replay the levels to get five cameras/paw prints in each level.
So a not so bad game to play when you have nothing else to do so will recommend it with reservations.
I own all the Tiny Little Lion games and out of all of them there's only one I'm not crazy about. I love this one. The scenes are beautiful (so far) and so are the birds with a bit of a challenge finding them and the morphing objects so the magnifying glass is a big help.
Only thing I'm not crazy about is the find the differences mini game - they jacked up the differences to 20 which can be a bit monotonous but definitely doesn't ruin my enjoyment in the game.
NOW for the next game maybe they could do fish - or dinosaurs?
Keep up giving us these wonderful games guys - they are such a fun alternative to the doom and gloom we get.
I love the Tiny Little Lion games and own all of them. I don't really care for this one. The scenes/flowers are beautiful but the mini games leave me cold and go blind trying to find the picture.
Will play it when I don't have anything else to do but won't buy this type of game again.
I like the game so far but not overwhelmed. I wish they would have kept the format like they did for Athens - you accumulated gems and treasure chests and gold at each level not having each level a category of hearts, flowers, etc.
The game play is easy tho a bit hard trying to find the seals. So a nice game to pass the time without the doom, gloom and mind benders out there.
After the last few VRPR was hesitant to buy this since I didn't care for them due to what I felt was rather subpar artwork, got sick of C&W music and just seemed to lose the "feel."
Decided to bite the bullet and buy this and glad I did. I'm really enjoying playing this (am playing for the second time trying to do better on badges). The scenes are clearer, love the music and I like going to the other park tho some of the items not familiar with being it's another country but did trial and error.
Glad to see our familiar rangers are still around (and sorry but glad that family wasn't in it - never cared for them). I have to agree with reviewers who said the objects were hard to find. In many cases they were as they blended right into the scenery (animals and trash) so several times had to use the mega hint to find them which lost me the eagle eye bonus and lost me a badge since I didn't play perfect. Like finding the camera icon.
And BTW really miss the do the mini game in under so many minutes - really enjoyed that.
So can say I'm looking forward to 15. Great job guys.
This is a fairly fun game but nothing outstanding so am glad I didn't buy the collector's edition (which everything seems to be anymore). Per usual for games of this type you have different scenes where you have to find objects like an 8 ball and peace signs along with a particular object. Rest is hidden object which is at times difficult since I have a hard time finding many of them since they are indeed "hidden." Some melt right into the scene and have to keep using the hint button to find them. You accumulate a certain amount of dollars to buy yourself a gift in the gift shop but don't think I'll be able to get them all since for the most part I skip the mini games - boring.
The scenes are colorful and you get some interesting facts about each of the specified special objects but other than that found the game to be a bit blah.
Will recommend it with reservations since it's an OK game to pass the time but nothing that keeps me constantly playing like I do with a lot of my games.
I have all the finding pups, cats, critters in this series and loved all of them but this one rather leaves me cold. The pups are adorable naturally but to me the game is entirely too short (even with the bonus levels) to be paying for a collector's edition. Liked the music from the other games better.
I know that gamers liker a challenge and the developers try to give you one but it's a bit much on this one. You can barely see the dogs in some scenes even with the magnifying glass especially on the spot the differences where your nose is practically on the screen trying to see them and many of the "differences" are practically invisible.
Many of the mini games are fun but some are so time consuming you give it up and skip it thus losing points to be able to purchase all the pups.
So my own wish list to the developers is: A longer game with more levels to make it worth a collectors edition, make the scenes less dark (so that some of the objects aren't melted into the scenery), and make the objects general so people from one country aren't trying to figure out what an object is that's from another country (hope this is making sense) to name a few.
Know the developers want to make this a cute game but definitely needs improvement at least IMO.

I have just about all of the Jewel Match games and love them all - this one is an exception. A few gripes is the music is monotonous no matter what you change it to, accumulating stars and keys to decorate rooms, etc is practically impossible (especially on one of the bonus levels where no matter what I did I couldn't shake the star loose so gave it up). Seems to take forever to clear a level and accumulate money to buy hammers, chain destroyers, etc.
On the up side like the majority of the Jewel Match games the scenes are beautiful as are the gems.
And for some reason the developers think everyone loves those meters that flip the gems around to clear the level - not me.
So will recommend it with reservations but I hope on the next Jewel Match (preferably ocean theme) they go back to the drawing board.

I wasn't expecting a lot of challenges in this game which there weren't (but then only about 3/4 thru it). I like the fact that I can choose how to play i.e., ABC, etc and like finding the shields, cats and robots. Levels, however, are very short so it's a game you get thru pretty fast.
So if you want a change from "mind benders" and just something to relax with this is a good choice.
I love all the Jewel Match games and bought this without trying the demo. If I had may not have bought it. I love one up/one down solitaire which this is but my issues:
1. Castles don't seem to have the sharp clarity of the previous games - seem a bit "faded" or fuzzy. 2. I absolutely LOATHE those morphing cars with the silver arrow and not too crazy about the tentacle cards and cards where you have to play a particular suite. 3. Music at times repetitive and annoying.
I really wish these developers would stick with success and quit adding so many changes. Granted things can't stay static forever and they like to add a new challenge but to me it ruins what were previously fun games with beautiful graphics.
If they want to do something different do a game with dinosaurs! :)
Am not all that crazy about this game but it's acceptable to wile away some time so will recommend with reservations.
