I downloaded the trial first as encouraged by another reviewer. I really enjoyed it and have bought the game. Match-3 are my favorite type of games. I like the type of match-3 this game is where you have to click and drag 3 or more. The challenge is that making the big matches can actually work against you. You have to think ahead as to the exact size "drop" you need in order to get the right objects to line up so you can match the lone piece and finish that round. Maybe I am not real smart but I had to use strategy in order to win a round. I enjoyed that. Most Match-3 games that use the swap method to eliminate pieces, I end up playing on autopilot. So I really treasure games that I have to actively engage in to play successfully. Knifflis meets that criteria. Yes, there are typos in places but they are easily figured out by the context. They don't bother me. With a one star review and now a five star review, I agree with doing the trial first. Maybe this is one of those games where you will either love it or hate it. Better check first. Not a big download. Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the variety of game challenges. Fun, relaxing and an interesting way to enjoy yourself. This is why I play these games. I'm not interested in racing the clock or always using lots of brain power. Sometimes I just want to have some fun.

I recommend this game!

And when you add in games of Sudoko and Majan., I'm good to go. Slightly challenging (which I prefer.)

Simple game ~ the kind I want to play when I'm on hold on the phone or even while I'm talking on the phone (you only need a few active brain cells to complete a round). Will be great for my mom who enjoys Match 3 & Mahjong with no timers or complicated bells & whistles to detract from her fun. And NO, I'm not suggesting that Mom only has a few active brain cells!

Simple game ~ the kind I want to play when I'm on hold on the phone or even while I'm talking on the phone (you only need a few active brain cells to complete a round). Will be great for my mom who enjoys Match 3 & Mahjong with no timers or complicated bells & whistles to detract from her fun. And NO, I'm not suggesting that Mom only has a few active brain cells! I hope she doesn't read this review and take it the wrong way... What the hey, I'll submit it anyway and count on her sense of humor to keep me out of the dog house.

I played for 20 minutes and went through several Match 3 rounds, a quick game of Mahjong, a quicker game of Sudoku (the developers could have put a little effort into that part), and a simple picture puzzle. Bright colors and simple sounds. I'll add it to the list of games I can play for a few minutes with my first cup of tea each day.

As always, try it ~ you might like it! Then again it might annoy you to no end. You'll never know unless you give it a go. Show less

I had to try this to see if it was really as the reviews indicated.
I am glad I did, as I really enjoyed it - the graphics are pretty, the music is relaxing, love the sound effects & the different games, to break up the Match 3, which could become a little monotonous, but if you use the powerups wisely, it is more enjoyable. I love M3s where you draw lines, somehow satisfies my need for speed! :) ...Show more

Please give it ago & judge for yourself. Show less

Liked the selection of games. Just didn't like the "Match 3" mechanics. Having to drag the mouse across the tiles simply became too tedious for me.

Still, if that doesn't bother you, it is a fun game. It would probably be more fun for someone of intermediate or beginning skill levels vs expert players OR good for the kids

Give it a try and see what you think

I don't recommend this game.

The games were pretty fun for a time and would be well suited for a young player to practice shape matching. It might be a good learning tool.
I found it nearly impossible to lose on purpose. For example, in the mahjong like games, the tiles automatically switched when I ran out of moves including an entire row of the same shape.

I'm surprised this got released just last year! Because the visual style looks really outdated, and is not pleasant to look at. In the beginning, it was more interesting, because the games were mixed up, so there was a lot more variety. Then I was stuck playing Match 3 games, one after another, which got boring really fast!

Contrary to this game's description, nothing about this Match 3 game was exciting, it even claims to be the "The Most Popular Puzzle Game" but to whom? This is a Chain type Match 3 game which is the least popular type of Match 3 game where you click and drag at least 3 identical objects to remove them from the board, the goal is to make matches over all blue tiles to clear the board. There are 12 hand drawn chapters and each chapter has 10 levels. I didn't see any options to play this game in a Relaxed or untimed mode, but you can choose from 3 different icon layouts, Nature (with flowers, mushrooms and leaves) Cafe ( ice cream, croissants, coffee beans and chocolates) or Gems (with green triangles, orange hearts and red diamonds) Each level has Skip meter that allows you to skip that level once the meter is filled, proof that the game is so boring you'll want to skip it!

If you make a Chain Match of at least 5 Blueberries, you will receive a Bomb on the board that will explode when included as a wild card in a match. All other bonuses are earned by dropping their icons off the board as you make matches beneath the icons. There is a Hammer, Lightning or Flash, Dynamite and a Swap icon that replaces all the tiles on the board with new ones.. The only obstacle I have seen are Stone tiles can prevent tiles from falling down, to remove them you must make a match next to them or use a bonus.

I couldn't get into this Match 3 game at all, and as you probably already know, I'm not a hard gamer to please. I can usually find some entertainment value in just about any genre of game, except this one! To make matters worse, there are huge typos such as this one which makes no sense to me whatsoever.... "when they arrives the lowest field" .....what??? Perhaps my grey matter is still asleep, but please do me a favor and try before you buy! Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Oh dear, did the makers miss the mark with this one! I was bored to tears by level 6 or 7, and gave up. Dreadful "music", no challenge to the games, no permanent bonuses (they disappear at the end of each level)...just as well there is the option to skip the level when you're sick and tired of trying to get a match under a bonus. This one is definitely not for me, and I'm a confirmed Match 3 ...Show more
