I love this type of game - adventure is my thing. However the controls are really bad I've replayed the 2nd level so many times trying to get the wine to pour into the other bottle - just won't work. Tried with and without label, different times in series of tasks. Just won't work. So...no buy for me. Can't get any help - keep saying I just have to keep clicking. Sad about the controls. I would have paid top dollar for this one!
I don't recommend this game.

The game is a good one - gameplay, etc. I would have purchased it quite quickly had I NOT checked to see what the 'extras' are to make it a CE. There are screensaver. Period. Yup, that's it. I'll purchase once it's the regular version but I won't spend the money on some screensaver I don't care about anyway! There aren't even extra levels!

I am an AVID griddler player. I found with this game that logic is not included. In the FIRST TWO puzzles you had to GUESS where to put your color. You'll probably be right for these - it's obvious but later on it isn't. Griddlers are LOGIC puzzles. There is no guessing in the Hercules series, Mosaics (with the penguins), etc. I usually buy griddlers BEFORE playing them. Glad I didn't do this with this one - I wouldn't play it even if it was free!

As a fan of MCF I was excited to see a new title. Bought it sight-unseen. To my disappointment it was quite sub-par. The story line was trite and there were a few glitches to the sequence (imo) and the graphics did not seem as good as other MCF games. Hate to say it but it was boring! I look forward to multi-layer puzzles. There were 3 (hard to remember as they were not memorable) and not that difficult. I WILL say that this is not a BAD game! Just not up to the standards of previous MCF games.
I recommend this game!
Our penguin family just discovered the fourth color! Enjoy mosaic puzzles in more colors than ever!

My favorite game and it definitely doesn't disappoint. Easy to use with a MAC (no problems with the mouse) and skill level is higher than I've experienced before in this series. I bought it without the free hour and am glad I did! Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I love these kinds of games but the gameplay makes it almost impossible to play easily. As a MAC user (and this is a MAC game) it is difficult to play the game without having a PC mouse. I'd be if you spend the money to get one it would be fun to play as again this type of game is my favorite.
I don't recommend this game.

My FAVORITE type of game and was THRILLED that I could start a new one...BUT.... once again the ability to play a MAC game is compromised by the game controllers. This is a MAC game and you have to right/left click. Unless you purchase a new mouse that has these capabilities you will NOT be able to reliably click left/right and NOT be able to finish puzzles without getting too many wrong choices. I got through 1 1/2 levels until the problem came into play. Other than that - puzzles were what I expected and I enjoyed them! I don't care about 'storyline, visuals, etc.' but all about the puzzles. SO! If you don't care about game play and are willing to purchase a new mouse - I say buy it. For me, it's a no. I believe the BigFish/Developers should make sure that the game is usable for MAC players AS IS.
I don't recommend this game.

It started out with promise - storyline seemed rather intriguing. Unfortunately the gameplay is slow, uninteresting HO areas and more. The game plays like one of those poorly developed games - and this is a CE! I made it through maybe 20 minutes of the demo and had no interest in continuing.
I don't recommend this game.
