An poor attempt at a Clutter-type game - (my favourite of this series is Clutter 2 - He said She said),
I didn't get beyond the fourth level as the timer is really short and every level has the same objects.
Don't waste your eyesight!

I don't recommend this game.
A thrilling match-3 adventure where you need to escape an eerie labyrinth and determine if this is real or a nightmare.

Compared with other Green Sauce games, particularly Tales of the Orient the Rising Sun, this is a simple game, but collecting the coins with which you can buy more moves is a bit of an extra and the bonus which takes out an X shape of tiles is fun.
Find Hidden Objects, identify specific spots in each scene, and overcome powerful guardians as you seek out seven precious stones!

I wanted to like this game but to make objects quite hard to find and a slow-to fill-hint, then use sparkles to tell you where they are just makes the whole thing pointless!
I don't recommend this game.
Janet and Brad thought they were going on a peaceful holiday until an unfortunate breakdown stopped them outside Frankenstein Burg!

All the HdO series are of a "love them or hate them' type, and I love most of them, but although this game opens with Microids, Mzonestudio and Solilab like Hdo games do, HdO is not mentioned and the general quality of the game is much poorer.
What really put me off was the strange, apparently pointless, flashing gadget to the right of the objects-to-find list - couldn't stand more than 5 minutes of this!

Like the story and the variety of HOs, love the artwork, but most of the minigames were too hard for me
I recommend this game!

Anyone who thinks this is a children's game hasn't played many levels - at the moment I'm completely stuck on level 67. The limited number of moves and very limited power ups get to be more of a problem as you reach levels with more frozen tiles and growing weeds. It's by Sugar games and seems to be development of Rainbow Mystery, but this level is beating me.
I recommend this game!

Overall much prettier and more stylish than most marble poppers. Some levels are difficult but if you make careful use of the bonuses, and don't worry about getting stars they're not too frustrating. I took one star off the fun rating because of the really tedious bits of dialogue, but I've now completed the game 3 times and will be going round again soon!
I recommend this game!

Didn't think I'd like this at first, as I usually find games which consist mainly of lowering items to the bottom of the board boring, and there didn't seem much variety of board shapes. But the bonuses and obstructions work so well I'm totally hooked.
I recommend this game!
After a terrible hurricane carried away all the pets, they need help getting back to their home town! Help them by making long chains in this fun match 3 game.

I usually play my games in relax mode, but have become addicted to the limited moves mode of this game - the challenge is to make chains of 7 which give extra moves.
There are also timed or relaxed modes but it seems you can only set this at the start of the game, you have to start another profile if you want to try a different mode.

Very enjoyable except for a few levels which I thought I was never going to get through. As you are dependent on which colour blobs float in moves are often very limited, sometimes letting the fish eat some of the blobs will help. There is a dollar counter at the top of the screen but nothing to spend it on - being able to buy a few bonuses to help in the more difficult levels, or enable you to try different strategies, would make the difference between a good game and a great one.
However I did manage to finish the game, in spite of the fact that the last level - 54 - kept saying Game Over when I still had 60 or 70 moves left in the meter!!
