You need to play this game at least past level 14 then, it starts getting very challenging. If you don't have the power-ups yet you better get them because you won't be able to finish without them. WINK

I recommend this game!

This game is so hard in places that I have to really work to finish .I love that!! In any game where stars are the goal, I never let myself accept 2 stars but must repeat until I have that third one. In this game, on some levels, I have decided to make 2 stars okay for now if I've taken a few stabs to get that far. I have been playing M3 games for many years and this one is making me work!

This game is so hard in places that I have to really work to finish .I love that!! In any game where stars are the goal, I never let myself accept 2 stars but must repeat until I have that third one. In this game, on some levels, I have decided to make 2 stars okay for now if I've taken a few stabs to get that far. I have been playing M3 games for many years and this one is making me work! I've been a game player my whole life and I'm 70 years old now, so experience is something I have a lot of.

I don't usually like to make reviews, because I'd rather rely on reviewers who seem to mirror my tastes, (usually Penmom36) but this game is better than many.

So far, I haven't found anything to complain about in this game. It would be nice if we could leave a visible agree for a reviewer whose review is in alignment with our own. Show less

This is a brilliant game, obviously those of you, who didn't like it, didn't play far enough into it. It gets much harder the further into it you get. Check it out for yourselves and make sure you get the power ups or the levels will not be passable. have fun it was a must buy for me enjoying it very much.

I recommend this game!

I don't often write reviews, but this had such low ratings I wasn't expecting much.

I try all the Match 3 games to see what I think. This one was a nice surprise, in that it gets challenging very quickly to try and gain 3 stars (gems).

It is a 'limited moves' Match 3, which I don't mind at all.

I recommend this game!

Let me start off by saying that this is a very colorful game with beautiful graphics, but it's a Limited Moves type of Match 3 game, one of my least favorite types. I'm okay with Limited Moves as long as the game is challenging and requires skill to master it, but this one practically plays itself. Because it has so many available matches, it has one explosion after the next, I hardly had to do ...Show more

Let me start off by saying that this is a very colorful game with beautiful graphics, but it's a Limited Moves type of Match 3 game, one of my least favorite types. I'm okay with Limited Moves as long as the game is challenging and requires skill to master it, but this one practically plays itself. Because it has so many available matches, it has one explosion after the next, I hardly had to do anything but make a few large matches and BOOM!

The instructions leave a lot to the imagination and after a few levels when the Obstacles started to magically appear it left me with more questions than answers. Wooden Boxes would appear out of nowhere, tiles would randomly turn to Lava etc. it felt as though I was being punished, did I make a wrong choice? Didn't I make a match quickly enough? Should I have made a match over those tiles first so it wouldn't turn into lava? Where's my automatic play bonus BOOMS when I need them the most?

Then there is the scoring issue. I could complete the level goals of making a specified number of matches of specified tiles and clear all Rainbow Cells and have 10-20 moves remaining, yet I'd only earn 1 or 2 Magical Crystals (equivalent to Stars 3=perfect) I'd replay the level, have fewer moves remaining and earn all 3 Crystals! Is the score based upon random luck of the draw tiles available for larger matches thus more automatic play bonus BOOMS?

The Magical Crystals you earn on each level allows you to purchase 4 non-magical Power-ups because 5 would be ridiculous. There's a Hammer to take out a single pesky tile that seems to be immune to the automatic play bonus BOOMS. Lightning which removes all tiles of the same kind, but why do I want to destroy all of the same tiles and miss a golden automatic play bonus BOOM opportunity? The Replace Magic feature allows you to replace any 2 gems on the field so you can hopefully create more automatic play bonus BOOMS. Lastly, there is a Mystery Magic power-up that destroys a random 5x5 area of tiles which may or may not create an automatic play bonus BOOM? Show less

I don't like games with timing. I want to play relax but I was stressed because most of the time I had hard time to finish a level on time. The problem was that my cursor was floating and difficult to control, so it was a lost of seconds. Besides, I don't know why I couldn't control the cursor during explosions of gems because we can with other match games and again it was a waste of time. That's ...Show more

I don't like games with timing. I want to play relax but I was stressed because most of the time I had hard time to finish a level on time.

Besides, I don't know why I couldn't control the cursor during explosions of gems because we can with other match games and again it was a waste of time. That's sad because I really liked the game but to play again and again the same level and getting stressed every time because I want to play the next level, unfortunately it's not for me. (sorry for my poor english) Show less

I don't recommend this game.

The game is beautiful in color and presentation. BUT, as others have mentioned, the game is to restrictive in that it requires it to finish all the action BEFORE you can make another match. Secondly, I don't like playing games in full screen mode. While window mode is available and can be used, the next time you open the game you have to go back and select window mode all over again.

Because of those two "flaws" I will not purchase the game. Wish they were fixed. Show less

Is an okay game but as previously stated, it almost plays itself at some points. Might be better for children or if you just want to pass some time.

I stopped playing this game because when I got to the place where you had to clear a small number of blue gems I never could figure out how to get blue gems! It hard to match them before time runs out if there's only one or two on the board.

I don't recommend this game.
