Not a Match 3 but a Brick Breaking Game

I was excited to try a new match 3 but unfortunately it wasn't but was Brick Breaking so started out disappointed. I decided to play anyhow because of the story line where a student pushes the wrong lever and gets sent???? Unfortunately after the opening cut scene it didn't tell any more of the story even when I finished the first levels. I was half way through the second levels but even though I had 27 minutes left on the demo I quit and removed the game because I wasn't having fun and there was no story to make playing a game I wasn't into. If you like brick breaking games you may like this game, I just wasn't interested so for me I would give it a pass.
I recommend this game!

I did the trial and I am hooked.........it has an absolutely awesome, compelling story that you can't wait to find out what happened and is such a relief when the cabbie rescue you from the man in white who is putting everyone into a coma so they starve to death. You want to know what did her dad and his band mates do that made someone mad enough to come back from the dead and kill them. The hidden object scenes were fun because each one was different and not just search and find. One was finding matching hidden pairs, another was placing objects back together and the other one I can remember was placing things and finding the music notes behind them. You can set your own challenge level including customizing to make it as hard or as easy as you want. It is very well made and very captivating story.
I recommend this game!

Even though I already have a couple of solitaire games I am considering this one because I am interested in seeing how the story plays out - they only update the story line in between chapters. The game play is good because you can choose the level of play you like. This game has three levels of play and I choose the easiest. There are two helpers to choose from and I just choose the first selection a female wood fairy or such, the second is an elderly male wizard. Would like to try both too see what the difference is. If you like solitaire, I didn't see any down side to this game. I did get tired of the music but it was easy enough to mute and most games I usually play without the distraction of the music,
I recommend this game!

I found this game very frustrating because even when you do the correct thing the game doesn't respond. I went to the forum for help but just found the same frustration and I actually got farther than some. I was able to get out of the cage and remove the cork, I even got the fly to drink the honey a few times but it never went into the jug so I gave up and deleted the trial of the game. The hint is a four part picture but you still have to figure out what to do from the pictures and only gives for one task so if you were trying to find out different information it is useless. I know the story having read the game page but it doesn't tell the story at all, just jumps scene to scene. There are so many more puzzle games with a good story I would recommend you do the Try before you consider buying it. I personally wouldn't buy it because I play for fun not frustration. Not the regular Big Fish quality of games.
I don't recommend this game.

I have been playing for a couple of months now. In the beginning it was frustrating because I am not a patient person but once I got over that I have come to enjoy it. I just realize goals aren't going to be quickly reached, unless you want to spend big money which I am not in a position to do so I just am slowly working my way through growing the different monster. I just play it for a few minutes in the morning and evening and am enjoying watching my island choirs grow.
I recommend this game!

I love HO games and such but they have to have a story that makes me want to finish the game but I found the game was just slow running on my computer that I just didn't get into it and then you have to do so much to get to the next point in the story that I just found there are games that interest me more so passed on this one. I really did like when I couldn't find things I could switch to match three rather than using hints. It is a good game just not interesting enough for me and too many sideline things to watch for as well- garlic, bats and something else.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoy the game but when they do special up dates it always glitches, by that I mean at least for the first few days all progress made is lost repeatedly including all the quests completed. It happened when the new island opened, at Halloween and again with the new Christmas quests. Every time you close the game you loose your progress. Even with that frustration the game is a lot of fun and you can do it with out spending money, it is just slower but still worth it.
I recommend this game!
