We are now on 14 and yes we know what to expect but these games never disappoint in fact in these times of worldwide problems they provide a haven to relax and enjoy a very well put together game full of beautiful scenes and animals.
I actually like a visit to a cafe etc as it shows that although this is not a real place it is doing its best to show you it is.
I love the visit to another place. Bit confused as to the promotions as most of them already have these positions.
I like in some scenes that you have a further task where you need to find a single item via a question. Just makes it a bit more interesting.
It is a challenge finding some of the items but as I like to relax and take my time it is not a problem for me.
There is so much to do here and love the selection of mini ganes between the hogs. Some fairly easy, some not but already I am looking forward to the next one.
Whether you like to take your time or be a bit more challenged there is a mode to suit us all. Enjoy
I recommend this game!

Wow . for me this is the best one so far.
This game is a bit like Goldilocks and the three
bears. Not too easy, not too hard, just right.
bears. Not too easy, not too hard, just right.
Although most of the mechanics have been used before, the way this developer changes the way you use them is quite incredible and they deserve the highest of congratulations.
You need to really think with each and every level and I have had to use the hint a couple of times.
Each level has different challenges but they are doable and not so hard that you would want to give up.
The mini games are challenging in their own way and if you wish to skip them and come back to them later you can do that. You just scroll over to the right of the main screen and all the mini games that have so far come up are there for when ever you want them which is a great idea.
You can turn the hints off but you can get a hint any time you want if you are stuck when the green hint button is lit up.
There is a comprehensive instruction guide.
In the past some of these games have just been too difficult for me but this one is perfect and will keep you amused for hours.
I have all this developers games and can say that they do care and will listen to any points that people make and they improve all the time.

Only one level out of the first 30 really has anything to do with the World's Fair but that does not stop this from being a very enjoyable TM indeed.
You need to stay on track with this one as the first dozen or so levels are very easy and I found not much change, however when things are on fire and you need to build wells to extiguish them and build saloons to get more people then things start getting more interesting.

This time we have steam boats and trains running at the same time to compliment each other..
You can change from one mode to another at any time you wish but these are seperate games so unlike some games you can not change from one mode to the other in the same levels, but that is fine for me as I usually stay in the relaxed level.

This becomes more of a challenge and as per usual is great fun and I have been missing a decent TM..
The Indians are missing here but you have plenty to do and am enjoying it immensely.
I love the shoot up levels this time which are an improvement.
One thing I did notice is that there is not an abundance of workers this time so you need to allocate workers more carefully which I think is a good thing.
Try the demo but do bear in mind the earlier levels are fairly easy but trust me it improves
I recommend this game!

Imagine my surprise when the first scene was a restaurant very close to my heart and one I used to frequent many times.
Just seemed strange finding items at a place I was very familar with.
The actual game for me is a delight, as Goldilocks would say not to hard. not too easy , just right.
I love finding the cats and everything is the right size and fits nicely.
I love the mini puzzles which you can also select to do out of the main game.
A lot of thought went in to this and for me this game deserves 5 stars. Keep up the good work

I really want these games to be to my liking but they never are
Time after time we ask yet we never get .
I love solitaire games but I do like to be able to complete a level yet you never can with these games.
You will never use all the cards if they do not put any on the bottom row which they very rarely do and even then
you are forced to use the gold card.

Always the same mechanics and why are the cards always so small? We don't all have 20/20 vision.
I play many different developers solitaire games and these are always the smallest cards.
We don't all have large screens.

I do appreciate that some people may like these games but how many times do you buy the same book just because the cover has changed ?
Try the demo as we all think differently and enjoy different things but for me it is a no and I remain hopeful thet one day things may change, and I don't mean a new prescription for my glasses
I don't recommend this game.

I know a lot of people avoid 8floor games but don't avoid this one.
This is a very good game and the developers are the same as the Alice games which you will realise when you play this.

8floor are the producers and this is far different from their usual TM games.
So give the demo a try and see what you think.

Don't forget to collect all the morphin animals on each level as this gives you a puzzle piece. The list will change on the right when you have found them all.

I am not normally a Hopa fan as the vast majority of
them nowadays are very predictable but this game is
amazing and my demo ran out and I just had to buy it
straight away and carry on.
I just managed to get to the train so a long way to go.

This developer really cares and it shows. There is no holding hands here with sparkles and robot helpers etc it is back to old school fun and you need to think.
Every Hopa game I have liked are the ones where they make you think.
There is a hint if you need it which I must admit to using a few times but the challenge is there and it is so well thought out.

I will not spoil it by saying too much but I am pretty sure this is going to be a hit.
The previous game by this developer was an instant hit and yes there will be some that will not like it but am pretty sure the vast majority will.
If all Hopa games were like this then sign me up for a top Hopa fan but unfortunately they are not.
Try the demo and see what you think. That is the great thing about demos as we all like different things so you can make your own mind up. There is a strategy guide if you get stuck and as I said earlier this developer listens and this is why he is producing such awesome games.
Enjoy, I know I will
I recommend this game!

The first thing you need to realise is that this is a totally
different game to the marble popping games called Sparkle on here. Sparkle 1 and 2 are marble popping games.
different game to the marble popping games called Sparkle on here. Sparkle 1 and 2 are marble popping games.
This series is "The Sparkle" and if you look at the top left picture it does say, "The" wheras BF have done themselves no favors by calling it Sparkle 3 as opposed to The Sparkle.
Hopefully they will change it.
Hopefully they will change it.
As to the game it could be quite interesting but the lack of clear instructions does not help at all.
A game like this needs clear instructions. I will try the demo on the earlier game and see if that is any clearer?
Please give the demo a try as it could be a good game and make your own mind up.
A difficult one this, I want to like it but my brain is confused

Slightly early for Easter or in this case late.
I did play this game for 53 minutes and got to level 40,
For me it is so incredibly easy and really did not see much change in challenge apart from more bunnies and stones that became tree stumps after a while.

There is only one mode, limited moves and I never got anywhere near running out of moves.
For me I found this very boring but I persevered in the hope
that it would become more of a challenge.

Why on earth you have to press escape on your pc instead of in the game is an indication of a very cheap game just in my opinion.
Alarm bells rang straight away when the game downloaded in 5 seconds.
Young children will probably love this with the cute bunnies.
Maybe it does get more challenging but after 40 levels I had had enough.

The most important thing is that this developer cares and
this is very important, it means they are willing to listen to what we have to say and take it all in.

The original game came out in I think 2005 and I have played this and did not like it.
This game is far better than the original so please try the demo and not just look at the name and think that's not for me.

I love marble shooter games but this has a twist where you have a bingo card and you need to find the right numbers. There are three modes but I am happy with relaxed.
My demo time went so quick I just had to purchase.
My thanks go to Mixogames for providing us with a totally revamped version.
try the demo and see what you think but you may want to try it on relaxed to start just to get the feel of it
I recommend this game!
