Your father and his jazz club are being attacked by a ghost! You must discover the culprit and free the people of New Orleans!
To be honest, it took me a while to get into this game. I liked the story and the characters, but the atmosphere was a bit dull and for a while I found it kind of boring. Stick in there, though...it gets better! This game lasted quite a while for a SE game and the numerous fun puzzles eventually won me over.
Fruit Lockers is back! Double your fun with Fruit Lockers Reborn! 2 and experience an exciting twist on the popular match-three puzzler.

This is a reboot of the old "Fruit Lockers 2: Enchanting Islands". It's a brick buster game that involves matching fruit and has insects trying to throw up obstacles. A few reviewers said this is basically the same game as the original, so I decided to check for myself (I still have the old one on disc). Here's what I found.
Pros of new game: Relaxed Mode! Older games were often sadly without the relaxed mode option. The original gave you plently of time, but relaxed mode is always better for casual games.
Cons of new game: Where's my island? In the original, a girl named Alice had her own island and as you earned money through gameplay, you decorated your island with a castle and gardens and such. That was the big appeal of the game for me!
Conclusion: I'm just not sold on this without the island to decorate. If you only want a traditional ice breaker game, than this one is a lot of fun.
Stop the evil Princess of Hearts and discover your true destiny!

Modern-day Alice is out jogging when she falls through the looking glass! Can she help out her Wonderland friends and find her way back to her family?
Getting to play a CE game is a rare treat for me. Thank you Big Fish for gifting this to us during the long quarantine lockdown! The art was beautiful and there were lots of fun puzzles and hidden object scenes to play. Even some cool, original music! I look forward to playing the continuing story!
I recommend this game!

This game had such potential! You're doing various matches as a cute little bunny walks through the woods. Springs for jumping, food when he's hungry, etc.
Unfortunately, it fell flat. This game is more than a decade old, so it had compatability issues with my Windows 11 running computer. I wasn't able to use my mouse at all and could only play it because I have a touch screen laptop. Then of course, there was the dreaded TIME LIMIT! Given how slow paced this game is, timed mode was a bad idea.
After a suspicious accident, you find yourself stranded at a run-down motel. But you soon realize the area hides a terrifying secret...

You're in a bus crash and stranded in a strange town where a young girl has gone missing. Can you help this family and escape this cursed place?
This game was released during a time when many hidden object games inserted real people into the cut scenes and it felt like you were playing an interactive movie. I was a big fan of this and sorry to see it has went out of fashion. This game had an interesting story, fun puzzles, and was scary but not too scary.
I recommend this game!

I was disappointed in the first game in the series but "enchanted" by the second!
The number one improvement, is of course, RELAXED MODE! You can enjoy playing the game at your own pace and the graphics are far better. There's also achievements you can earn.
I recommend this game!
A legendary cavern exists with walls lined of glittering jewels - make combos in this Match 3 puzzle game.

This is an old-school group match game where you blast large groups of gems at once. Busting gems is rather satisfying, but not if the timer keeps running out! There also seems to be very little story to it beyond the first screen. I suppose it's a good game if you're looking for a challenge, but I prefer a bit of relaxation with my games.

This is a matching game that combines several methods (chain, group, match-3, etc.) to complete each puzzle. Once completed, you're given puzzle pieces to eventually create a cute puppy outfit for your customers!
For an older game, I found this really fun! I enjoyed the background drawings of puppies and the changing style of each puzzle. There are also bombs, scissors, hammers, etc. to help you with completion.
I recommend this game!
Nestled between the mountains and sun-soaked beaches, the vibrant and stylish city of Barcelona awaits you on your next Big City Adventure.

This was not at all what I was expecting, especially considering the excellent reviews.
This game came out in 2015? I would have guessed it was created at the turn of the century given that you have limited hints, hard to see graphics and time limits. I guess some people like the challenge, but I prefer to hang onto what's left of my eyesight. The facts about the city were interesting, though.
I don't recommend this game.
Help your big feline friend break up a nonstop chain of colored balls in this original action puzzle.

This game is so old now, I wasn't expecting much. Most ball shooter games, in my experience, are much the same. I was happy to be proven wrong!
This game is different in that the line of balls suddenly will twist and turn about, quite like the tail of a bengal tiger. I made it to about 24 levels and was very surprised by how much fun I had!
I recommend this game!
