New challenges are okay. Kind of overdone but match 3s are repetitive by design so it was alright with me. Some levels were very challenging as only certain icons give balloons. Some quick and simple. I do wish they would drop the Mahjong. It is the most boring, over simplified and mindless part of the games.
Try before you buy.
I recommend this game!

This comes across as a simpler knock off of the "Park Ranger/ Cruise Director" series. I do get tired of the same repetitive HOPS found in most games these days so this was a nice break. No story line at all really but that's okay. I also enjoyed the music to this one. Something I rarely say. It was entertaining enough that I'm purchasing.
I recommend this game!

Straight forward click, point and drag old style game. Graphics are well done. Game progresses with reasonable challenges with even old style slow loads between levels. As someone already mentioned there is no hand holding which is refreshing. But the game is short. One early level was less than 3 minutes. When all put together possibly an okay length for a standard game but not worth the CE price. I go all the way back to B&W TRS80 all text games and was always a sucker for these when graphics first surfaced. I did enjoy it as it reminded me of my youth. But I do think its overpriced for a nice but once again short P&C game.
* I would recommend it as a standard game just not at the cost of a CE.
I don't recommend this game.

No challenge, same graphics, weak story line and overly used movements. Well with BF no longer having in house developers everything has become cookie cutter . This developer is good at mediocre products with the same actions game in and game out with only slightly different stories and backgounds. If you are new to casual games then this will satisfy an itch. But if you're not save some money and replay any other previous purchased games by this dev.
Oh for the days of originality and Christmas game magic....
I don't recommend this game.

Kind of a cross between "I Spy" and "Where's Waldo". Interesting approach to a HOG. Find whats in the bar. Sounds simple. It turns out to be quite challanging at times. No penalty for hints and no timer. Just take your time and point and click. Humor is cute, It was a buy for me,
Try the demo. it gives a good idea of how the game plays.
I recommend this game!

I played this headache years ago. If you enjoy back and forth, back and forth footwork you might be able to muddle through. You will also go back to coversations over and over. By the book, boring, over told and predictable Orwelian story. One of the worst navigations I have played. Its a BIG no for me.
Another ancient release. What is going on?
I don't recommend this game.

Just another mobile app that I wouldn't even put on my phone. Simplistic, unchallanging and just plain boring.
Have been with BF almost from the beginning. It almost feels like I am watching the end getting near. Apparently the last purchaser believes only in mobile apps. Not what I pay for on this site. I've been dl'ing my past purchases because I see BF fading off into the sunset... so sad.
I don't recommend this game.

Bought the game on a whim after playing the demo. Cheap entertainment I thought. Bought it... played 10 minutes.... game over. Have been with big fish almost since the beginning. Hands down shortest game I have ever purchased.
Save your money!

Wonderful game. Incredible amount of levels with increasing challenge so a lot for your money. Plenty of "replay ability". Choice of difficulty carries through even into the CE levels. Relaxing unobtrusive sound. Beautiful visuals. Most enjoyable and relaxing match 3 I've played in quite some time.
I recommend this game!

Just when I thought maybe it was my cynical imagination that had me believing the HO games released these days were mundane, simplistic and repetitive along comes this remaster of an old game. You know... back when the hidden objects were actually hidden (oh how I loved this), the mini games actually could be unique ( some easy and yet so fun) , the story line had a clear thread and the artwork was not garish "black light" colors. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game again although I must admit I feel slightly cheated buying the same game twice simply for the addition of morphs and objects ( some blatantly obvious and some devilishly hard to find). One would think it would be discounted for those of us having bought it before. None the less it was money and time well spent. Good job devs on this update. I'd be happy to see more of the classics get the same treatment.
As always.. try before you buy!
I recommend this game!
