I would call this a Match 3 game, but Big Fish classifies it as a "Puzzle" game. But it is a fun game. You left click on a "charm" and drag it to an adjacent matching "charm" you make a chain of 3 or more "charms" , they do not vaporize and the next row falls down in their place, instead they are just replaced by another random charm, which makes it more tricky to plan your moves ahead. You can play timed, where you try to meet your goal (which is removing certain charms from the board) or untimed Which you try to make the longest chain, and/or get the highest score. You can turn the music on or off (I opted off), and the graphics were pretty good. The only thing I didnt like was that as you were making your chain you couldnt move back only forward, so if you make a mistake you have to restart your chain, but that is not a big deal. The demo hour flew by, seriously I thought that they cut me short!!! LOL!!! I think I will buy this game, its very relaxing in the untimed mode, a good way to unwind!!
I recommend this game!

If you do the demo you will probably think that this is a simple game, but if you keep playing it gets much harder with 20x20 grids. I really enjoy playing this game, there are a LOT of levels!! I have been playing for several days and there is no end in sight!! I love it, very addicting!! The story is not that great, but I do not really care about that, I just like the puzzles!! If you like grid puzzles you will like this one!! I also like that it automatically has the different colors on one grid so you dont have to do all the colors separate.

My review is based on completed CE version of game, plus bonus game. I really enjoyed playing this game this is my first Surface game, and as soon as I am done with this review I am going to go buy another Surface game!! I loved all the amazing graphics and the story line is well done. The voice overs were awful!! I am not sure if they are translated from another language or what, but they are like from the Godzilla movie, its really weird at first, but after a little while It didnt bother me anymore. There were real actors instead of drawn characters which was a nice change. The HOP scenes were a little different, you use items out of your regular inventory to complete them, that was cool, except if you didnt have the item you needed you couldnt complete the HOP scene until you found it. You collect flowers throughout the game to use to rebuild stuff in the bonus section!! I was 9 flowers short of completing the rebuild tasks, there was no way to go back and get more flowers except to reset the game and play it over, I am not going to do that so I guess I will just have to live with it!!! Oh well!!! Overall I would recommend this game, I really enjoyed playing it!!

My review is based on completing the entire CE edition game and the bonus game. I really enjoyed playing this game!! There are collectables, you collect a golden ticket with a star on it, some are very well hidden and I missed one, but it let me go back and find it after I finished the game. The graphics were awesome!! The HOPS were great they all had a morphing item and they were various styles so they were not boring. I did not see a alternative match 3 game or marble popper. There is a pretty fun match 3 game but it is in the extras that you can play after you finish the game. The bonus game was a bust!! The bonus game had almost nothing to do with the main story, it was short, and if you buy CEs just because you get the extra game play, well you may want to wait for the SE on this one!! I also did not like the map....it is a click and drag type map that was sort of annoying to use!!
Overall I really enjoyed this game, I played the first Cadenza and I really liked that game, I think I enjoyed this game a little more!! Except for the bonus game, I really enjoyed the bonus game in the first Cadenza, it gave a different point of view to the main game, but in this Cadenza the bonus game didnt have anything to do with the story!! So my recommendation this game is a MUST PLAY, but unless you really love the collectables (which is just a golden ticket, found in each scene), I would probably just get the SE version.

I really enjoyed this game!! You use magnets to solve the puzzle. You have to use your brain to figure out how to solve each puzzle. I thought it was so much fun trying too work out each puzzle. It was not too hard, but they were not simple either!! The only flaw was there were not enough levels!! There were only like 51 levels, you can fly through that in no time!!

I am a huge Eipix fan, so when I saw this game was out I bought the CE edition immediately!! I was not disappointed. The graphics are amazing!! The game was alot of fun, it took me a few days to finish the whole game plus the bonus game, I play slow and take my time!! The characters where very well done. I enjoyed trying to figure out who done it, (I was wrong the whole time!!) There are masks you can collect through out the game, but there are only 8 of them so they are not in every scene, which makes it a challenge to make sure that you dont miss any!! There are also cards that you can collect that are in each scene, and it tells you if you have gotten it or not. HOPS are different each time and have morphing items in them. I really enjoyed this game, this was one of those games that you get lost in, a really nice way to relax and escape reality!! Thanks Big Fish and Eipix for another amazing game!! I cant wait for the next one!! Like seriously I WANT IT NOW!!!! LOL!!!
I recommend this game!

I resisted playing this game because I played the first one and I didnt like it!! But this one was awesome!!! I loved playing it soooo much!!! I wish I would have purchased the CE edition, so I could have played the bonus game!! I completed the entire SE version of this game. I really enjoyed the story line, I liked that it took place in more "modern" times. The mini games were fun and were not too challenging (I didnt get annoyed and skip any of them), the HOP scenes were mixed up, so you play a different type each time. My favorite HOP scenes were the ones where you find like 5 morphing items there were a couple of those. There were lots of places places to go. There was some back and forth but that was ok because there is a "auto-hop" map. There is no journal, but I didnt miss it at all!! You can adjust the hint and skip, so that is not an issue. It is a nice long game, it took me all day, but I play slow and take my time!! The graphics were very good. I recommend this game!!

My review is based on completion of the full game plus the bonus game. I purchased/played the CE. I enjoyed this game a lot!! The graphics were beautiful!! The story line was pretty good, although at the beginning of the game I felt like my character was being really nosy and pushing her self into other people's business. In the game your are a reporter and you get an interview with a artist that is restoring a very rare and valuable painting. The artist is shy and hates interviews, so she kinds runs away from you, but you track her down, just like a bloodhound!! In the end it all works out good!! As far as the game its self, all the usual stuff, assorted games and HOPs. I enjoyed this game because it did NOT have any ghosts or frozen stuff!! The story was different and I liked it very much!!
I recommend this game!

This game has absolutely no HOS!!! And I LOVED it!! For me the HOS in most games are not my favorite part, my fav part is interacting in the world, playing games (which this game DOES have plenty of) and searching for stuff. So this game was perfect for me!! I wish there were A LOT more games withOUT HOS scenes!!
I recommend this game!

Honestly....I found most of this game pretty boring!! Sorry Eipix, I LOVE your games, but this one was not that great. Its not a bad game. I completed the whole game and the bonus game on the CE edition. The HOS where great, the puzzles were pretty good, the story was blah!! There were no morphing items, but there were collectables. The graphics were (as always, with Eipix) amazing!! I just didnt "love" this one!! It was just OK!! At least this game was not another "frozen" theme!!
