I would have given this 4 stars EXCEPT developer MAKES YOU WAIT 30 SECONDS to "SKIP" EACH MINI-GAME that comes AFTER EVERY SCENE. AND I DISLIKE EVERY MINI-GAME!!
This Developer creates such exceptional M3 games, and I am so glad we are getting a new Origins! I love their games, and THIS ONE ADDS SEVERAL DIFFERENT move types, which I am enjoying. I LOVED THE FIRST MOVING COUNTRY SCENE and wish I could have that on my desktop.
This one's pictures/scenes seem similar to several others of theirs. I really enjoy the special room scenes, but so far have not cared for their main scenes, so I end up just trying to update rooms as soon as I can, instead of the main scene.
They have put some of the FRUSTRATING MOVE ICONS, like the webbing which takes some getting used to.
But this game will get my first to play every day - and look forward to the rest of the games.
which I HATE. And the HINT timer takes too long to get through that level. But that is my preference, so if others don't mind using shadows to find, you probably would like it
1st level ok even with diff type play, but 2nd level NO MATTER HOW LONG A MATCH YOU MAKE, you do NOT GET ANY POWERUPS, so have to wait for “active bomb” to show up, then move sideways or down to explode. Then, AFTER THAT, you have to get coins, several which require so many multiple moves just to move down arrow to get, that this is more frustrating than enjoyable
Only slight minus for Garden layout ability. Harder to make where to put flowers, walks, etc. than the Hope's Farm below. But still very enjoyable, and interesting match 3 play.
Hope's Farm is similar Match 3, creates wonderful farm animals and produce, trees and fixtures, and that one is my very top favorite.
You might as well just replay any of the other 7 that you may have bought. In THIS case, the backgrounds of the tiles to CLEAR were SO similar that it was almost undistinguishable to even FIND the remaining 2 that I had left. It took me a minute each to look at EVERY TILE to see the very slight difference before I found them.
SUCH A SHAME! I Really like the nice clean graphics and layout, BUT ALL YOU DO IS CLICK ALL OBJECTS NEEDED OVER…and.. OVER … and OVER, WAY TOO MANY TIMES with not much strategy needed. Just ends up boring.
