Same features but new senarios. Animated and still graphics are pleasing and levels are challenging but not overwhelming. I was able to get the 3 star awards in normal timed mode.
You have the owl easter eggs that one found there’s no need to find again on the replay except if you change the player or mode. The Owls are detailed animated characters and worth a look. The themed mood music is quite good and diverse so it never gets boring.
Plenty of levels to keep you engaged for while. And you have the side puzzles of mahjong, not necessary to finish the levels.
I recommend this game!

It has colorful, photogenic, VGA detailed graphics and plenty of good challenging levels.
Mood music is good, relevent orchestrated, movie grade.
There are no easter eggs. You have to overcome obstacles, get spells, karma points, and fight enemies. In the beginning you rebuild a village with gold earned. This adds to your Karma.
You collect and later can purchase various spells. There are 2 other feature spells that can be used to aide in you match 3 efforts. And you can acquire achievements along the way.
It’s more then just a match 3 game.
I recommend this game!

It has colorful, VGA cartoon graphics, plenty of good challenging levels with some arcade action on a couple of levels.
Mood music is good, relevent orchestrated movie grade.
There are no easter eggs. Some of the levels are real brain twisters but every level has a solution, you just need to discover them.
There is a basic tutorial intro but does not tell you everything, which you later have to deduce through trial and error through it’s unique logic. No walk-through guide either. The interface is a little cryptic but you’ll get use to it.
I recommend this game!

It has colorful, balanced cartoon graphics, plenty of good challenging levels. Mood music is mellow, orchestrated grade.
No easter eggs but in the bonus levels are boxes that contain collector cards. The boxes are easy to find. The guides can be closely followed but you can ad-lib for a better score. The steps are not noted in the paragraphs. The map interface will only show the star level achievements. You can play the game through- untimed and get all the extras.
It has 3 time modes, the normal is tough enough for me. I won every level in 3-star in normal time.
The game is really fun and challenging to play.
I recommend this game!

It’s colorful, it has decent cartoon graphics, plenty of challenging levels. Mood music has only 2 or 3 scores that are basically orchestrated movie grade.
Each level has 3 easter eggs as semitransparent coins, often hard to find. If you give up looking their locations are in the guide. The guides can be loosely followed. The map interface will show you the levels completed and whether you have found all the coins.
It has 3 time modes, the normal is tough enough. Right before the 3 star limit there is a clasicfication called blue ribbon award. After wining the 3 star in time mode I tried for the blue-ribbon awards but on 3 levels it seemed imposible to achive.
There is a puzzle as an extra which for each level completed in 3 star in time mode you get a piece added automatically.
The game is basically fun and challenging to play but could do with improvements.
I recommend this game!

The graphics are cartoon great. The mood music has been redone to a more western flavor. 3 modes, untimed, normal, hard. There are some new features on the levels.
There are the usual owl easter egg, few are hard to locate. You only have to find the owl once per mode, no need to find it on a replay.
I played and got 3 stars in normal mode on every level including the bonus levels. Some levels are difficult
It has a strategy guide that you don't have to follow closely, just use it as advisement.
The bonus eaxtra is not just the owl found but a town to build. You need most of you stars to build it but you can do it in easy mode so don't sweat it. You have new side arcade games to play. The bonus one is the usual shoot the bandits.
Golden Rails has consistently produced good games for fun and challenges.
I recommend this game!

The graphics are basic cartoon but pleasing. The mood music is orchestrated, celtic base- movie grade. 3 modes, untimed, normal, hard.
There are 3 easter eggs per level and some are hard to find. Cursing over each level on map page will tell you if you found all 3 as will the end play game stats per level.
I played and got 3 stars in normal mode on every level including the bonus levels. There are 5 bonus levels
There are some really tough levels in just normal mode and I won them with seconds to spare.

Like the previous version it has several unwinable levels for 3 stars in Normal time mode like its precedent. The guide is still screwed up too. It's like it was rushed through. It's not very fun for untimed mode either, solutions are too simple.
The graphics are superb for a cartoon game. Half the mood music is kind of boring.
As in the previous version there are no easter eggs but this game has performance bonuses you can purchase as you progress through the game in any mode. Every star gets you $100 toward the purchase of various bonuses.
I played through in untimed mode to get the bonuses and then tried it again in timed mode. You keep both the bonuses and stars even though you changed the difficulty mode.
I'm not going to recommend this game as they did not check for the above problems in this new game. I was disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

Fun and challenge in every level.
Good cartoon graphics. Music is orchstrated Celtic based, Disney like, pretty good. It has booster choices on bottom rail. Some levels have Owl easter eggs. The owls are animated in the extras section and detailed, worth collecting.
50 base levels and 15 bonus levels. The Game has a decent guide for every level.
Side majong puzzles are interspaced.
I could get the 3 stars in normal time on every level with some levels just in time.
I recommend this game!
