I was really looking forward to seeing some of the gorgeous Canadian scenery. But after two VERY ANNOYING GAME PLAY DUE TO AWFUL MIXED UP LETTERS, I ended up just WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY. Such a shame that the Developer did NOT ALLOW OPTION to CHANGE to NORMAL SPELLING!!
I don't recommend this game.

I've been so frustrated with this series - especially hating the long black filled areas that block the fire from continuing, but also didn't fully understand the playing logistics to win. Fortunately, I continued to buy ALL due to the great reviews, hoping I would get the hang of it.
After playing #12, it was so much fun that I am going back through all the earlier ones I was so frustrated with., and I LOVE THESE. VERY CLEVER and, except for my continuing annoyance when the black areas show up on some rounds, I smile at their layouts and feel much more comfortable understanding MOST of the concepts. WORTH WORKING WITH for those who had the same problem as me. Note: I ESPECIALLY love their MAHJONG MINI GAMES that allow a FREE tile that you can minipulate - makes it still a good challenge, but also WAY MORE FUN! THANK YOU!
I recommend this game!

I'm really enjoying this game play and feel the CE is worth the extra. I didn't care for these when I first tried them, but once I got the hang of the obstacles, my enjoyment was much better..
My main objection to the previous versions of this game was that the background tiles you need to clear are all in a PURPLE that looked VERY SIMILAR to the color the tiles were AFTER you cleared the tile! Made it very frustrating to find the last few, even though they did try to highlight those. But THIS BROWN background is very easy to see.
But, I was very surprised no one else mentioned this, so perhaps it was just MY monitor that made the purple color in earlier versions hard to find.
I recommend this game!

I LOVE this developer's Match 3 games, but they seem to prefer creating more Solitaire games., with 'bonus' type games that involve matching HUNDREDS of cards, or very difficult challenges.
I really disliked playing developer's last several Solitaire games, so almost didn't buy this one. Too many times I had to go through 50++ draw cards to match ONE card on board - very, very boring and annoying, and having almost nothing to do with skill in choices.
BUT, THIS one seems a lot better -- so far at least. Perhaps they found a magic algorhythm that allows longer matches IF ones uses some skill, much more fun to play. And, after about 25 levels, I have NOT come across having to deal over 20 cards to get a match.
The QUEST bonus plays involving winning 3 DIFFERENT type games was fun... at first. I won the first 2 game styles, but have now played the 3rd game (standard solitaire variation) 4 times. Seems like it's one of those where 90% of the deals are NOT WINABLE (and, in my case, 100%). So, again,not fun, and no options to try a different game for your third one in the Quest.
MAHJONG is AWFUL! All tiles too similar and, after wasting 15 minutes of my time clearing ALL TILES EXCEPT ONE on top of the SAME TILE, where shuffle does not work, I LOST THE GAME! If the developer created fun, or at least unique and interesting tiles - AND did what Laruaville developer does and adds a "FREE TILE" you can exchange others back and forth with, THAT would be a PLUS, instead of this MINUS.
So, even though I'm enjoying this MAIN round more than the last few (lovely country pictures so far), I do hope Suricate creates another Match 3 soon as there have been so few good ones for a long time at Big Fish.
I recommend this game!

When I tested the first scenes in the only TWO areas apparently available, EACH were VERY BUSY, FUZZY, OVER-COMPLICATED SCENES. In one scene, after 5 minutes, I only found ONE of the items. IF the SCENES were CLEAN (while still having LOTS of items within) AND AS LOVELY AS THE PROMO PICTURE, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IN A SECOND.
I don't recommend this game.

There have been so few 'GOOD' Match 3 games on Big Fish for quite a while - at least none that I haven't already bought. This has nice Match 3 Plus taking care of cute donkey, special quest areas, nice 'available' bombs, etc. by making long matches.
Overall, just a fun game. THANK YOU!
I recommend this game!

1) They still kept the 'Visual C Basic installation, which is not needed;
2) NO ZOOM;
3) too many similar possible matches that do not match;
4) Same annoying small jigsaw puzzles that FORCE YOU TO WAIT 1:20 to Skip

Why would you buy this since it is almost exactly the same as all the previous versions?

I really wanted to like this because I really liked 2 out of the 8 levels I tried. But, for me, the other 6 were terrible! I personally hate mixed up letters h/o, then the 'choose pairs' really poor, smell matches even with hints. A shame because if they had given me the option to change formats on some of the 6, I would have purchased it.
I don't recommend this game.

I LOVE the MATCH 3 GAMES of this developer. And the first few solitaire games were nice, mainly because of the graphics. But THIS one was just annoying almost all the way through as you frequently have to go through 50+ cards to get a match for the only available card on the board. Even the scenes look way too familiar. And ALL of the "bonus' Games are even worse - with so many blocked cards to clear that you just keep clicking 'next', 'next'. This is the FIRST game by this developer that I really want to end.
I don't recommend this game.
