I enjoyed playing this game — it had all the challenges I expected without being too hard. The graphics were a ltitle strange and the dialogue skippable, but since I was there for the match 3 puzzles, it wasn't a big deal. Worth the price!

I feel like the lone voice of dissent here, and maybe I just don't play enough hidden object games to have all the puzzle types memorized. But puzzles are just tossed up on the screen with no clear objective and no description. Clicking hint makes a move on the puzzle for you, instead of saying "these bottles need to be organized by the patterns on the label" and by the way, I looked at the solution online and I STILL didn't get that one? Anyway. The setting and graphics were interesting, the voice acting was terrible, and some of the puzzles made no sense to me and I ended up skipping a lot of them. I also expected a few more actual hidden object puzzles, and fewer "arrange these objects in as many ways as you can think of until we tell you you've solved it." Did not finish.

Bought this on a whim, because I'm getting tired of match 3 titles who want you to buy boosts and bonuses every five minutes. (I'd rather pay up front, thanks.) The story and art style were a little "cute" for me, but I was happily surprised by how engaging the puzzles themselves were. It was a fun twist on the match 3 style, and I really enjoyed it! I also liked the fact that I could turn the timed play on and off in the options — sometimes I'm in the mood for a challenge, sometimes I just want to relax. I did get some pop-up messages saying the game was "not optimized for my Mac" but aside from a few quirks that required a restart, it worked just fine. This is a game I expect to play more than once!
