My TOP 10 FAVORITE Match 3 games are from Developer Suricate and THIS developer Green Sauce (Hope's Farm is my TOP #1, Secrets of Magic Series right with that), and this one adds to those. My computer is several years old, has 64 bit, and this game works just fine so far. Great tutorial, fantastic 3D graphics on scenes, fun match 3 game play with large, clear tiles, and one of very few that I actually read the story lines. There have been SO FEW Good MATCH 3 games on Big Fish for so many months now that I almost give up on hoping for the good ones. HERE IS ONE OF THOSE - THANK YOU GREEN SAUCE!
They keep just changing the appearance of the tiles and CONTINUALLY resubmitting AS IF THEY WERE BRAND NEW GAMES! If you've bought ANY of these, you've bought this one.
It's really annoying to have to WAIT 90 SECONDS to 'SKIP' those really poor, time-consuming bonus games, instead of just being able to "SKIP ALL' or INSTANTLY 'go to next level.' The jigsaw puzzles are numerous and just fair or too tiny detailed, and some of the hidden objects are not even recognizable if the hint arrow shows you.
I always buy ANYTHING from this Developer. Out of hundreds of Big Fish Games I've bought or played, the only other developer whose games are a GUARANTEED BUY for me is GREEN SAUCE. Their HOPE'S FARM IS MY TOP FAVORITE OF ALL.
With this game, SURICATE always put a lot of thought and time into creating complex Match 3s with gorgeous scenes you build as you win levels - SO MUCH BETTER THAN MOST Match 3s that have been AVAILABLE IN A LONG TIME here.
Nice tutorial, which I needed even though I have played all their other Match 3 games. Several things different that I do not like so far early on: 1) cannot move row/column clearing powerups 1 space up/down or sideways before activating like previous games allows which lessens your ability to complete each level using powerups; 2) hammer does NOT break gold inside sphere, and a few other minor annoyances. But I have only finished a few levels, so perhaps I'm missing something.
3 Rounds per level, with GOALS for EACH level, several board powerups - more can buy - with cute cards make this a fun, challenging different solitaire game. I'm finding GREEN SAUCE GAMES very appealing and hope they continue to provide the great games of theirs I've played.
Great Fun! Match 3 games have nice, large, clean, cute icons, Adding goals of feeding animals, creating and gathering vegetables and fruit trees makes it even more interesting - and very relaxing- fun. PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THESE TYPE!
Nice clean large cards, BUT SO FEW ON DECK that the FREQUENTLY HALF BOARD CARDS BLOCKED make it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to WIN LEVEL, EVEN WITH POWERUPS AND 4 RE-TRIES. EVEN WORSE, YOU CANNOT CONTINUE to PLAY NEW AREAS UNLESS YOU WIN apparently ALL, or ALMOST ALL of EVERY PREVIOUS LEVEL! So, even at Level 90, unable to continue. That, along with poor, child-like scenes have to take time to build, DOWNGRADES this from an "A" to an "F". What a shame!
WE LOVE THEIR SOLITAIRE ROUNDS, where you have an EMPTY space you can move cards from the Board back and forth to. This makes Solitaire much more fun as you have more control in winning, unlike so many that you can go through 30-40 deck cards without any matches.
We also like this #1 because fewer 'Fires' needing matching, but too many blackouts stopping it as several others in this and Laruaville series has.

Many of the "Challenge Levels" here impossible to win as all depends on what cards dealt, NOT how you play them.
Also, many of us don't care for all the other solitaire game bonuses OR Mahjong. The NEW "Mega" solitaire way too time-consuming - just to get extra fish displayed.
What I would love to see is a Bonus Solitaire similar to Spellarium and Laruaville games that have a SEPARATE BLANK CARD SPACE that you can move a board card to enable you to make longer matches. THIS makes the challenges much more fun and gives you a little more control of the cards dealt, instead of having to sometimes go through 30+ cards before you can make any plays - unless you play lots more rounds to get powerups.
STILL, I will continue to BUY ANY GAMES this Developer puts out..
