This is #2 in what I hope is a long-lived series. Even better than the 1st. For those who were a bit disconcerted with the clutter games overlaid into the game, that is gone. The story, cleaning and hidden object scenes all flow nicely.
I've purchased every game in this series. This newest version is virtually unplayable. What was a reliable, entertaining series has become, with this newest release, unnecessarily complicated and completely unrewarding.
I hope the game makers read these reviews and wind back their approach.
This is the best version ever. Past games in this series tended to be annoyingly frustrating. The games had firescapes that tended to bounce the player out — despite the playing level chosen. This one doesn't do that and I really enjoyed not being frustrated. I play time management games to relax. The game creators got this one right — it is challenging, intricate, but definitely playable.
There are so many different challenging yet do-able puzzles besides the hidden object portions. There are jigsaw, some light logic, and spot-the-difference. Given our recent shelter-in-place regulations, this is a wonderful way to pass the time. Please more of these games. Or, it would be great if they would upgrade the old non-64K versions as they no longer upload on my 64K bit machine.
I play these games to engage in an immersive experience and to relax. This particular game was great because they did away with the annoying popup ghosts and skeletons and other creatures that plagued the prior versions. Those annoyances were disruptive and detracted from the fun of the game. I hope they continue to build future versions in a similar manner.
Probably the best Match 3 to come along. No annoying "impossible" scenarios. Instead, this is a fun game that does, literally, have adventures that maintain one's interest. I hope this company creates more games in this series.
Important: The game freezes at level 15. To get around this, do NOT play the "battle" portion and the game will not freeze.
This is one of the most enjoyable time management/strategy games out there. No errors, and the visuals are beautiful and detailed. Also, there are few annoying barriers (ghosts, timing out, etc.) that are not impossible to overcome.
Don't be fooled by the demo. As you progress through the levels, the courses become increasingly sophisticated and complex. I only wish each course displayed the goals for the duration. It isn't always easy to know when you've completed a course until the timer runs out.
This is one of the few games that doesn't have glitches. In fact, I enjoyed this one so much that I purchased the first two versions. They didn't have glitches. Very refreshing.
Love this series, but I can't get past level 18...
I was able to "work around" some of the lower level "bugs." But no matter what I do, I cannot get beyond level 18. And yes, I downloaded the "update." Too bad, because there's something soothing about playing these games.
