When I first saw this I thought here we go again however they have made some changes which I did like and some I did not.
Why this developer has to switch from just relaxed to timed and relaxed etc beats me.
Some of us only play relaxed and some like a timer for a challenge. They can do it and have so why keep messing around ? Please Devs we need variety.

Others will provide more detail better than me I just point out a few things.
On level 7 I ran out of moves on the left board and it took some time before I could get more moves by using a bonus that gave more moves.

Next thing is another thing that changes which is annoying.
You can only have 3 bonus options on the panel at any one time whereas other games you get all the options. So you constantly have to keep changing the bonuses. Why keep altering that?

On the whole they have tried to make changes. The music has changed for the better. I do prefer games that give you bonuses with large matches,I feel it adds a bit more excitement to the game.
Try the demo and see what you think
I recommend this game!

This is another great game for jigsaw lovers.
We have recently been given 2 very different games that are both very brilliant.
Normally I like to be able to select my puzzles but the way this is done by keeping you in suspense as to what lies ahead is awesome.
The story is great, the music and art work is phenomenal.

Very clever people have been brought together here to bring us a journey to enjoy.
There are options here to satisfy most. If I was going to pick on anything is that I always start with my edges and would love a feature to sort the edges out but that's just me.

Another small tip if you did want to get the most out of your demo and to give a better idea as to what other beautiful images lie ahead is to start off with the least number of pieces then you should get quite in to the game before your demo time runs out.
You can always start again with many more pieces once you have decided to buy..
Once again my sincere thanks to the team here. Enjoy

There are a lot of different things going on here than the normal from this developer.
The graphics are not brilliant but it shows they have made an effort to improve things,
A couple of times I had to try again as I went down the wrong route. Love the granny but not sure about the dodgy guy who pops into places to motivate people.
Quite how he motivates people the mind boggles.

Now comparing this with the CE this is by far the better buy.
It even has the strategy guide plus you get to build the manor.

The further you get into this game the more of a challenge it becomes. Yes there are better out there but this is a vast improvement'
The only thing that puzzles me is what on earth do these people eat ? Seed, building materials or gloves ? Perhaps there is a special nourishment in the water ?
All in I think this is a valiant effort to bring us a better game
I recommend this game!

The first 5 levels of this game are not a good indication of the rest of it ,As soon as you get into level 6 the game changes for the good and it becomes a much different game. Just my opinion so persevere through the easy levels.
Without giving too much away it becomes very challenging and you need to put your thinking cap on to defeat wizards etc.

There are some unique things with this game but once you work it out you will be fine.
Now there are a few things I am not happy about hence only 4 stars.
I do not think it is worth the CE price as once again it is very confusing as to what you do get extra.
Strategy guide is ok but could have been better.
There are 50 levels plus 6 bonus levels which you get by
getting 3 stars on all levels.
It mentions that there is a bonus chapter but not sure if that is included in the 50 so you would get 40 in the SE ? This is not clear at all

Now here is the big but for me. If you play on easy you do not get any stars or puzzle pieces .You need to play on normal or difficult to be able to earn 3 stars.
So basically if you are someone whom only plays on the relaxed or easy level then you will not be able to play the bonus levels..
I may be missing something here so try the demo and see for yourself. Please go further than the first 5 levels.
I do like the concept of this game but feel the things I have mentioned let it down.
I do wish developers would make it a lot clearer what you actually get extra with a CE

These types of games were around decades ago and reminds me of the early games I used to play on a games console.
As to the game it needs a lot of refining, very clunky, maybe that was the point of it to take us back but for me it has not worked.
The first instructions tell you to match 3 by dropping the same colors to match yet it does not always make a match even though you have 3 or more together.
I found the orange and red too close in color so struggled with that .
It claims 3 different modes, yes there are but you need to have completed 10 and 15 levels of the classic game to be able to play them.
As I was not prepared to buy this game I have no idea what the other modes are like but going by the classic I was not impressed.
Some may like it but try the demo and see for yourselves.
As for me , very disappointed.

I am being spoilt recently with some of my favorite games. I have so many games that I have yet to complete but then along comes another great game and as for a lot of us you just have to have it,
So to game 10 in this series, has it lost its mojo ? Of course not.
Yes we have the same style that goes with these games but there is always a new feature added to keep us Matchaphiles happy.
I just love the new teleport where you need to send a key or drop elsewhere on the board to complete the level but to start it is quite easy but now I am further in to the game it then becomes very challenging.

Further on there are several items you can send through the teleport but send the wrong item and you are on the road to nowhere and need to restart the level.
These games are more relaxed I find than other series from this dev but I like that, having said that you still need to put your thinking cap on at times.
You can skip all the mini games straight away and turn off those annoying hints that pop up all the time however I did need to turn it on once or twice.
This series has all the bells and whistles. It has bonus games, mini games and it's NOT a CE. (Jumping up and down with joy) No not joybelle but she is probably jumping up and down as well lol.

Some will say same old, but its not, unexpected things happen.Other games you can read like a book and they are so boring.
These games can get to game 10 and still keep us very happy.
Congratulations guys

I am enjoying this game and the further you get in to it the more interesting I found it putting out fires etc.
Have to agree with Pennmom that the graphics leave a lot to be desired.
I like that there are three modes and that you can choose your own bonuses.
One thing to be aware of is you must complete the first fairy village before you can move on to the next one.
I am confused as to how many levels you actually get here?

I do wish developers would tell you what you are actually getting. Yes I know 80 bonus levels but how many all together ?
Not sure if this is CE worthy or not? The only worthy thing here are the extra levels.
I have bought it as I wanted to carry on, so guess that's a good thing.
As always try the demo and see what you think. It is a good game for me but the graphics dept lets it down slightly.
The first game in this series had much better graphics in my opinion.

First off I apologise for only giving 3 stars but for me it was just too much of a challenge. I needed an easier mode that maybe gave you more cards.
I realise most loved this but as I say a lot of the time, we are all different.
What is good for some is not for others.
I was constantly restarting a level because I ran out of cards.

I just could not get the vibe for this game even though it has a great entertainment value I just wanted to not all the time have to replay each level umpteen times.

The first game in this series had problems but this Dev listened to us and decided to sort it out and did he sort it out. A round of applause for Him.
If you love jigsaws you will love this. There are so many configurations that it will cater for the vast majority,
I like to do my edges first, you can do that. You can change the shapes to even just squares if you want a real challenge.

The pictures are colorful and many different scenes.
A lot of thought has gone in to this to make the game to suit most tastes.
I love to take my time so turned the timer off. Others like a timer. You can choose the best to suit your style.
They listened and I thank them for that. Enjoy, I know I will

This could have been so much better.
Lets start with the classic game. Far too easy, a game for kids but not for adults.I was completing a level in less than a minute and it did not get any harder.

To get to the next level you need to exit the game then select the next level.
On to the duel game. If this had had a bit more thought put in to it it would have been good. A bit confusing at first but you need to make matches either on the board or by using one of the 6 extra tiles to match. Failing that the duel master will add a tile
The best way to understand it is to try it.
The most challenging part of this game is the parade where you need to match a tile with a tile from the parade which fills from left to right. Once it is full game over.
So for me there are parts I liked and parts I did not like. It could have been so much better.
There are also a few spelling mistakes in this.
The colors are bright and tiles very clear but where is the challenge especially in the classic game.

As for the stars for me it is really a 2.5 as I did not dislike it but then its just a bit below ok.
