How refreshing to have a new game that is so different from all the other Match 3 games I have.

The object of the game is to restore a town that has been devistated. We play the Match 3 and help to restore what has been destroyed...Never fear citizens...we are coming to rescue all of you and restore your town one player at a time.

This is an incredibly fun match-3 game.
First, every screen is in "puzzle" mode, meaning that the tiles are not arranged randomly, but in ways that yield big rewards for slow and careful play. Still, the bonuses you get automatically for good matches might make it lots of fun for players who like a timer, also. And then there are the optional bonus puzzles, which can be quite hard.

Second, the story is nice -- revive a "dead" town -- but not too much time away from the game itself is necessary.
Third, the task of collecting clock hands instead of breaking tiles or dropping game pieces to the bottom is a nice change.
I'm not way far into the game yet, but it seems to progress at a nice pace.
Finally, as a person owned by rescued brother and sister "witch cats," I love the black cat! Show less

This has been the best match-3 offering in a while. Match-3 holds a special place in my heart because that's where I started gaming and this one is terrific.
It has a "save our town" storyline and the old Clockmaker is the one who gets you started and runs the power-up shop. The town has lost it's life because a curse has made time run backwards. You go from house to house and play to restore each home.
The colors are bright and the graphics sharp, the sounds for the power-ups are nice and the musical soundtrack is very spooky {Halloween-type} and appropriate for the game. There are bonus levels that require some strategic thinking and you can skip or replay them. You can also undo your last move. There are moments of a super round of gameplay and then it returns to the normal mode. There is a relaxed choice and a timed choice.
I really had a good time and I think this should appeal to the inner child in all of us.

I was able to preview this game when it was in it's beta stages. I fell in love with it then, and could not wait for it to be released. I bought this without even trying it before you buy it, because I knew I would love it. I have just played a couple of the levels, and still love it just as much, if not more, when I played it in it's beta stage.

I love Match 3 games and this one is the best I've played in a real long time. I love how you can play timed or untimed. The graphics are awesome!!! As for the music, I can't really comment on, because I turn the music down/off when I play. If you love Match 3 games, I would highly recommend this game!!! :)
BF, please bring more Match 3 games like this!!! :) Show less

Unique and very cute game with lighthearted haunted tones. Nicely designed Match 3 game all about fun! Somewhat similar as 'Jewel Legends' only considerably less challenge, but more Storyline. I love how you get to revisit clock maker for all your power up purchases and he explains use of them in detail. As you collect more gems, you can also upgrade power ups.

I rarely write reviews. Why? Because I have a son who writes the architecture for computer games, both PC and mobile, and I feel as if my comments may be biased. I'm a bit spoiled, having beta tested some of his company's products.

I rarely write reviews. Why? Because I have a son who writes the architecture for computer games, both PC and mobile, and I feel as if my comments may be biased. I'm a bit spoiled, having beta tested some of his company's products. That being said, this game, which was not written by my son's company, has a lot of great elements: music, graphics, and the one thing I appreciate most in a Match 3 game....after nearly two hours of continuous play, I received the "no more moves" message only once! Hooray for the programmers!!! There is nothing worse than being 'on a roll' ...only to have the game determine that there are no more moves. Yes, yes...I know it is all contingent upon the moves that I make; however, good programmers work around that randomness, for the sole purpose of making the game interesting, rather than frustrating. Another plus for this game is the graphics. They are seamless, artistic, and pleasant to watch, hour after hour. The music is repetitive, but not annoyingly so. Kudos to those programmers and artists who went the extra mile! This is a truly enjoyable game, with some really clever aspects. Thank you! Well worth the money I paid and the time I've invested!

Owning over 65 match 3 games, I was pleasantly surprised with Riddle! It's similar to Alchemist's Apprentice in that you have certain tiles that are your goal to match, these using clock hands. I love the music, and the graphics are bright and colorful.

I love the music, and the graphics are bright and colorful. After each game board, if you've earned enough $$$ you are directed back to the town, where you have the opportunity to purchase more power-ups. I like this method of introducing power-ups gradually, so that you're learning and remembering them as you go along, rather than having them all introduced in the initial instructions, and you have to try to remember what they all do as you play. The game introduces challenges and power-ups early. It's one of the most fun M3 I've played and can't wait to get back to it! Enjoy! Show less
