Entertaining game with a bit of a different stioyline. I liked the clear and bright graphics, the music didn't annoy me (most game background music irritates me). There were plenty of puzzles, some of which were a bit easy, but entertaining. The HOPs were varied and again the graphics were good. I particularly liked the battle at the end as it wasn't too easy. The game even had a sensible ending and didn't just stop as so many of these games do. I would have liked it to have been a bit longer though.
I recommend this game!

This was the first game I played in Beta format and it seemed OK. I bought it because I was interested to see how the game had developed. I wish I hadn't bothered. The graphics, in comparison with many I have played here, are poor. the HOS scenes are particularly crude and the same objects pop up in more than one HOS. I don't like it when the same scenes are repeated with exactly the same background picture but just different objects to find. I feel this is lazy and sloppy.
There is no map and the logic of the story makes it hard to decide where to go next. there is too much jumping from one scene to the next then back again - eventually I just used the hint button in place of a map and I don't like doing that.
The storyline is silly. you are looking for your sister who was abducted as a child and find her in this hidden laboratory. the "Oracles of Doom" have spent many years keeping her as she is the ideal subject for the creation of "the perfect DNA" and you are also cruicial to the success of this experiment, although you are never told how. You run back and forth all over this lab. finding things to aid you and your sisters escape but never see these "Oracles" once you are past the opening stages until right till the end when they are quite cross with you.
The end scenes are absurd and the puzzles simplistic even for me and I am not a good puzzle solver.
This game is OK for whiling away a couple of hours. If you get it as a freebie with a game token it isn't bad value, otherwise save your money, there are lots of much better gamed available

Really enjoyed this game. the graphics were good and theHOS scenes and puzzles were just right for me. Even the ending seemed more finished off than usual.
The storyline was broadly similar to many others but the setting made a nice change.

I don't know where to start. the game is slow, repetative and boring. EVERY time a new level starts you get told how to play it (match three tiles...) and the same when using the power buttons. These recharge automatically on every level, you don't have to do anything to get them. No challenge there at all. Dropping items to the bottom of the board is the ultimate in tedious. It's easy to pile all the items up just one tile from the bottom, then it's a case of just clicking the available tiles till you can get the final combination to drop 6 or 7 items at once. this can take just a couple of minutes or what seem like hours. easiest way is just to let them pile up then use one of the easy power ups to clear the whole of the bottom row and you get all the items in one move. boring. Music is whiny and repetative, just the same few notes over and over and over....
There was one mini game where you had to match candle colours. this was not explained and I was getting nowhere with it when the trial expired. Yipee! deleted it immediately.

This game crashed 5 times during the demo with "lua runtime error". It is not a game I enjoyed even without the crashes. The puzzles are often poorly explained and irritating. Graphics no better than ok. Storyline ordinary.
I don't recommend this game.

This was the first match 3 game I ever bought about 3 years ago. I'm still playing it. I have not got all the badges yet though, but I have most of them. simple to learn but with so many variations and challenges you will never get tired of it. you can play relaxed and just keep on going for ever. Or lightning storm for those who love to play fast, or poker if you like to think about what you're doing, or the puzzle game or collect butterflies.... it goes on. The balance of difficulty is just right and you never feel as though you are stuck and can't progress unlike some match 3 games I have tried
fantastic value for money and thoroughly recommended

Very enjoyable, adult game, no sickly cute creatures. There IS a lot of dialogue and cut scenes so if you like to get a move on in your games this may not be for you. The voice acting is excellent and the synchronisation very good. The HOS are fairly straightforward though there is some interaction in them (was gently amused to find a skunk in one of them - not sure what it was doing in the UK!) The puzzles were just challenging enough for me. There was a bit much back and forth movements and a couple of occasions I needed to use the hint button to see where to go next. other than that its great. Overall it is up in my top ten games.
I recommend this game!

More like this - a game made for adults that makes you think a bit and not too frustrating Some of the best graphics I have seen on a game of this type. The 'roaches crawling over the walls and other moving and reacting elements bring the scenes to life. The atmosphere in some settings was genuinely creepy.There is plenty to do in each area, unlike some games where there are always only three or four things to find or interact with. The Map is really helpful if you get stuck as to where to go next. I like it as there is a lot of help if you need it but it's structured in such a way that you don't need to see it if you don't want to use it. The music is pretty good too and fits the atmosphere of the settings.
I haven't finished it yet (i'm doing it slowly as I don't want it to end, I'm enjoying it so much.) Super value for money. Some of the other developers could learn a lot from this game. Wholeheartedly recommended.

This is really boring game. The levels and challenges are all the same - complete a level get money and power-ups, go to the next level and do the same on a different shaped boards over and over. most squares have to be ccleared 4 times each game. no changes to different sets of "jewels" no different forms of play. takes forever to get each special power. I'm up to level 25 of 140 and have lost the will to live.
7 wonders alien makover is much better, someting to do after most levels. bejeweled 2 has a whole range of different playing methods. both arre way better than this.
