I blew through this game on the hardest mode, and ended very satisfied. The mini-challenges could have been more difficult and they did toss a couple that required me putting on my thinking cap, but generally they were very simple to accomplish. That's not a gripe however, as the game has other qualities to it. The story is intriguing, the atmosphere and art is great, and the game was fairly long. It's definitely one of the best I've played in recent memory and I was bummed when it ended. Highly recommended.
Escape to a dreamy world of wonder while you delight in a magical new twist on the Solitaire you love!

This game didn't have the dramatic effects like other new match-3 games. It was visually uninspiring. The game was solid with only 1 glitch in which I filled an entire column of one object and couldn't eliminate them except with a power-up. The gameplay was solid the rest of the time and well balanced difficulty on 'timed' mode. It seems one of the biggest challenges developers face is music whose repetitiveness doesn't get under your skin and they succeeded here. The songs are charming and comfortable, definitely with Japanese undertones. A solid 4-star game in my opinion.

I was on the limb whether to give this game 5 stars or 4, but after consideration, I settled on 4. Visually, the game was great. Some of the mini games and puzzles however were pretty ridiculous, not in their executions and originality but their requirements to complete. If you're into going for the 'Expert' level of playing, good luck. For example, there's a challenge where you have to find '50' skulls in a painting. That's right, '50' of them and some of them hardly looking like a skull. There were other similar challenges that I got so tired of looking and clicking, I had to opt for a lower challenge level and click the 'Hint' button and when it showed where the object is. I don't like having to do that just because I'm sick of glaring around an image for 15 minutes just to move on. 50's a bit much I feel. Some of the mini games and puzzles were equally frustrating in their own right, made way too complicated with vague instructions. I've played over 125 hos and this one gave me more trouble than most. I don't mind a challenge, as long as it's presented fairly. Some of these are way over-done, and put way too big a pause in the story line. It's like watching a show on television and suddenly having to sit through 10 commercials. It ruins the flow and mood of the story. There is the 'Skip' and 'Hint' functions, as well as a guide, so completing is guaranteed, I just hate having to use them and not due to my personal limitations. I'm a big fan of this development team and still recommend it.

For the price, you can't beat this new match-3 game. It's a lot of game for the money. The objects are big, the graphics and sounds are perfect, and the difficulty can be adjusted from invincible to challenging with a wonderful variety of moves and combinations. The game is smooth running & action-filled with very active and large visuals. It's easy on the eyes as well with the large themed graphics. I love it, big thumbs up! It has a slight retro-feel to it with the action and sound but with modern graphics.
I recommend this game!

I'm new to this game and its predecessor. The number of mini games and puzzles delighted me. Many were boringly simple while others put up a good battle. The vague explanations irritated me at times as I'm one who tries to never skip, yet one was so confusing I had no choice. The music was nice, relaxing though fairly repetitive and the character voices were very muffled. I couldn't understand them enough to follow the story. All in all, I personally recommend this game if you like unique mini games / puzzles which they big-time abound in this game. Navigation was kind'of a pain also I might add.
You've come upon a land of such beauty, but the surrounding areas are barren. Match your way through nature and restore this beautiful kingdom!

This gorgeous, relaxing, and non-stress inducing game is exactly what my soul and spirit needed once completing a massive western game full of death, gunfights and tragedy. The developers of this 'Jewel Match' game series are master crafters. Relax to the ambient sights and sounds of nature, create your own paradise and play a fun, stress-free game along the way. The challenge level can be adjusted from timed, counted, to neither, the latter requiring no chance of failure. I chose the counted difficulty to give myself a little challenge but isn't rushed and so far have yet to use any of my lives. Peace and love, who can deny suck pleasures? A great game for our personal zens.

The little interactive things that change when I click it, but have no roles in the story, is a wonderful enhancement that I think other developers should implement more in their games. Even on hardest setting the puzzles were a breeze, sometimes giving clues when I didn't want them, though that's just a personal preference and doesn't demean this fun adventure that shouldn't be missed.
I recommend this game!

I know there are a ton of reviews already, but I just wanted to say how fun and refreshing this game is. There are so many hidden object games that are released, it's hard to get one that has unique qualities to it. This game is one. It's not a difficult game, even on expert mode, and I do like a challenge, however, the difference and originality of the puzzles and mini-games, combined with very colorful graphics and subtle ambient music, makes this game one of my highest recommended purchases ever.
I recommend this game!

This game was so much fun. Even on 'difficult' level it still was pretty easy and some of the puzzles were almost too easy to solve. That however didn't distract from the game but kept the story moving at a perfect speed. This is definitely one to check out if you haven't already.
I recommend this game!
