I was always told to "Try it, you might like it!" by my parents most of my life. I still love using their wisdom now as an older adult. I went ahead and played the DEMO to the end, tho the graphics were for computers older then mine I was able to still play. I'm an expert at most Match-3 games, but this puts an all new edge to the game. If the Developers ever re-submit this game for newer computer there would be more buyers out there, this is the only reason I gave it such a low rating, only for the Graphics.
This would be a great game for the younger players out there. The theme is for a child to help the Fairy Queen and find her tea set. The one part of the game I didn't like was trying to play the first level, there's no instruction on what you're suppose to click on to open the 1st game. With trial and error I was able to figure it out. You need to click on the 1st ? to play. I would of given higher ratings but just couldn't, but I'm not going to "Not Recommend" this game, you have to judge for yourself. I'm adult so I need better graphics, these were too childish for me, even the customized cursor was "puffy", hence too childish for me.
Glad I didn't go by previous reviews went with my instinct to play and judge for myself. Just finished playing the full demo and purchased it. I didn't think it was difficult to play at all tho I did turn off the music and turned up the sound effects. I noticed during the cluttered belt games there wasn't the usual metal clanking sound, I like the new sounds. Now this game has been added to my other Clutter Games!
Since I'm a Big Fan of the Fantasy Mosaic, but I do try out the other versions to give them a chance to entertain me. I too noticed the smaller tile set compared to the Fantasy games. Even in the "Options" the settings were set for "Full Screen" and it was okay for these old eyes but for those who have a problem with this, might want to switch to the "Mono-Chrome" setting. I noticed that the White colors were a little difficult to see but got thru the 1st 15 levels before my DEMO time expired (was taken away to tend to my pets didn't help either). I'm still in the decision mode, but I will give my recommendation.

I read thru everyone's comments about this game. Being an Expert at all Match-3 Games, I played the DEMO first. I've been able to get all the first set of Buildings due to getting 3-Stars for those levels. I must admit, I did have to play one game over (had a short term Brain-Gas), cuz I used the Hammer in the wrong place. Once I figured where to play it, was able to get the 3-Stars. I know playing with Limitations can be frustrating but I was just fine with playing the DEMO. I'm still in the deciding mode to see if I want to use my FREE Game Code to get this one. My recommendation for this game is to try it first, use your own judgement, and if you're like me, make sure you can get thru with the Limited Moves. So, I will not pass judgement on this game. You'll have to try it to see if you like it.

This game would be just right for those who love to "Beat the Clock". I rather play my Tetris game instead, at least I have time to arrange the pieces. Given only 1min 50sec to play the given areas is not my cup of tea. Will not obligate myself in giving a recommendation for this game. You'll have to play the DEMO first and judge for yourself.
I played through the DEMO and was trying to place this game with another that I've played decades ago until I read pennmom36's review then it hit me. Tetris combined with Super Collapse! I've played and own both of these games (yes I'm that old too! and still young at heart). I enjoy this game very much and plan on getting it A.S.A.P. What I enjoyed most about this game was NO MUSIC! didn't have to turn it off like I do with most games. I go for quality sound effects in my games, music is just boring.
I have the original game. After seeing this as today's new game I went ahead and used one of my free game codes thinking they upgraded it to where it would work on Windows 10. I must admit I didn't play the Demo first, just took it for granted it was *UPGRADED*, was I in for a major let down. I got the same dialog box at the start saying I can either play in Windowed Mode or Original which slows the game down.I don't like the Windowed Mode cuz it's so tiny. I'd need a magnifying glass to see what I'm doing. I can revert back to Windows 7 but I don't want to go thru the hassle. When a DEV puts out a game that's a series, they need to do more then just add a NUMBER after the title!

When the game first opened up on my computer it showed up in "Window Mode" after playing the first game I was able to find the "Settings Cog" to change it to full screen. Not a big fan of Music playing during my games, more of a Sounds Effect gal myself, was able to turn it off and increase the Sound Effects. The level of difficulty was alright but became more challenging as I progressed through the levels. Mr. Tisnart was helpful to a point but does become annoying sometimes. I consider myself somewhat of an expert in the Match-3 games. But I am happy to say that I just used one of my Free Game Codes to purchase this game.
I recommend this game!

It stared out okay until I was no longer able to move anywhere else on the map. I purchased the "Training Camp" but the game didn't acknowledge that I even had one. I will stick to my other favorite Time Management games until something better comes around. This would be great for a beginner but not for me!
