It's nice to have a match 3 that is a bit different from the norm and you have 3 screens plus zombies to get rid of in order to carry on and one even stops you using the bombs and rockets untill you have fed him till he explodes then bombs away lol. I have finished the demo and will use my free game when that arrives in a couple of days.If you love match 3 but would like something a bit different you will love this.There are some cons like I find it hard to see the hints but that might just be my eyesight. Enjoy

Love playing these games and cannot find anything I do not like.If I had to find something it would be the time the game takes to load at the beginning, way longer than most but I can forgive them for that.
I recommend this game!

I thought this to me was just another standard match 3 , nothing like the class of Lauraville etc.As I am always saying we all have different views so some will like, some will not.Yes you have 3 modes but the relaxed mode is not what I would call relaxed,time still runs out and I would imagine once you get further into the game you will probably run out of time which is not for me also I hate hogs and the first thing we get is a hog, yuk, so that put me in the wrong frame of mind. Not for me I am afraid
I don't recommend this game.

I have all the series now and they did not disappoint with this one, in fact it is even better and fun, the way it is thought out is brilliant for example, repair the dam and hey presto twice as much area to work with.The graphics are great and you have 3 levels that will suit all tastes
I recommend this game!

For me, I loved this game,Ok it does not suit everyone but that is what makes our world such a wonderful place as we all have different tastes and expect different things. It would be a boring old world if we all liked the same and thought the same. I prefer to play relaxed then once through that I will step it up a level. Although there is only one level time does not run out you just get one star which suits me to start but then I will be able to return and try to improve. I like the fact that there is no annoying voice saying "Alright,Alright " etc they just get on with the task and the further into the game the more challenging it gets. I can see though if you like to achieve 3 stars then this is a very hard game indeed but for me it is ideal and a bit different . As I say not ideal for everyone but for me ,perfect.
I recommend this game!

This game could have been so much better but it seems not much thought has gone into this. I love time management but at first I thought this was even too slow for me who likes to take their time until I discovered the speed up button at the bottom right of the game which you can leave on all the time. Why on earth they don't make it that fast to start with the mind boggles and there is no explanation that this button exists. The next major flaw is you cannot multi click as you can with most TM's and it is so frustrating having to wait for a worker to get back home. I can see the potential in this but it has been put together without much thought into what makes a good TM game. I only had 5 mins left when I discovered the fast button and it changed the game but I will not be buying it
I don't recommend this game.

Ok there are some that will say all this developers games are very samey but if you are going to say that then you might as well say all match 3's are very samey. I like a challenge which these are however I need to take my time so use the relax and take my time. I love that you can now take on an opponent and get all the gold before they do, a great addition. I also like that you can skip the mini games and as I am not a lover of hogs at all this is a great asset. Many mini games with other developers you have to play in order to carry on and when it comes to hogs this is a big let down for me.So I thank the developers very much for this latest addition and a slightly slower pace for old plodders like me, thank you
I recommend this game!

I know this game has been about a long time and I have played it many, many times and never get fed up with it but it is such a shame that there have been no more sequels as in my opinion this has to be one of the best match 3 games ever. I have others which are good but this is the only one that has me playing again and again. There is nothing I do not like apart from the hogs lol which I loathe and cringe each time I have to do them. I would imagine the developers are no longer around ? which is why no more sequels but if any game deserves more then this does
I recommend this game!

I did not try the demo I just bought it as I know this was going to be a good one already having the first three. As others have said it is a standard edition straight in without having to wait for it to come out after they put the collectors edition in. This to me was a great incentive as in my opinion most CE's are a waste of money. This does not disappoint and extra has been added here to make this game very enjoyable. I usually use relaxed mode as I am a bit slow however tried this on normal mode and it does not end when you run out of time you just get no stars. This is an incentive to me to do better as there is nothing worse than the game ending because you are out of time. For me there is nothing to dislike about this game. One more thing this standard edition seems to offer a bonus section after you have completed the first part which is normally found in CE's so well done. Enjoy
I recommend this game!

This could have been ok for me but for two major no no's. The very fast hints is such an annoyance and you can't turn that off. I like time to find the matches and do not want a hint all the time.
There should be a relaxed mode as I am a slow person and like to take my time. This game is no good for me yet I like the concept of it and those 2 major flaws for me mean I will not be buying this. Very annoying as it could have been so good
