I liked this concept of this game but if you have a large vocabulary you may find it frustrating

I like this game because it challenges the brain and if you win the level, then you add accessories to a beautiful and peaceful Asian type picture. The reason I didn't give it five stars was because the dictionary is very limited. There were many words that I tried to use but they were not found in their dictionary. That part I did not like. Looking at the reviews I'm not the only person who was frustrated by this. I hope the developers take our suggestions and add some really good comprehensive dictionaries to the game. I would also like the ability to have words longer than 11 characters even if you didn't get points for the extra letters. Or maybe up that limit to 15 characters. I think the game is a great concept even better than Scrabble because you aren't limited to seven letters AND you get to choose your letters. If it had all these options I would have given the game 10 stars. I really liked it but it needs enhancing. I recommend that you give this game a try I think you will enjoy it.
I recommend this game!
Princesses have a tendency to be kidnapped, and a service for lost royals is in high demand. Start your own Lost Princesses Agency and find your one and only!

Not up to the quality of the first three in the series

I really liked the first three in the Princess series and almost bought this one without trying it out. Glad I tried it first. I didn't like the floating scenery. I tried three chapters of level one with and three without. It was definitely better without the floating scenery. What happened to having the goals somewhere on the screen? Sometimes I get caught up in games and forget which goals I've met. Sad to say I didn't get caught up in this game. But the goals should be displayed on the screen and an indication of whether or not they've been accomplished. And I didn't like the fact that 10 seconds or so after I'd grabbed whatever food was indicated, there was a pop-up saying get whatever I'd already picked up. Keep up or don't kibbutz, I'd say. I also didn't like having to go back to the same pile of wood or food or whatever numerous times. This seems to be a case of it taking 8 months to program a good game and the programmers being told they had to have it out in 4 months, or heads will roll. I feel for programmers put in that position, I've been there. I rarely buy any games other than time management games similar to the Princess series, Royal Envoy, Road to Rome, and those along that line. Sadly there aren't nearly enough of them and even fewer good ones. I anxiously await new time management games, but nevertheless, I'm going to pass on buying this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game. It was a challenge and I was sorry when I finished it. I wanted it to be longer, have more levels. I'll wait a few months and play it again.
I recommend this game!
