Almost 5 Stars for the 5 Star Miami Resort!
Great graphics, fun story line. Better than previous Resort Match 3. Has new explosions, etc. You have a choice of challenging game play. For me, this match 3 has it all! It's a buy!

I recommend this game!

When I first demoed this game I lasted 30 mins then purchased Boardwalk/ promenade and it crashed then nothing could be played after that, however I am 99% sure a fix has been made so if you have tried this and crashed do reload the game again and it should now work I then got to level 22 before my time ran out and it works fine now

I recommend this game!

The first time I loaded it I also got the fatal error. Then I saw where someone said it had been fixed so I tried it again and had no problems.
Overall it was fun to play. I only gave it 4 stars because it is one of those games where you are done building the resort quite awhile- like 16 levels- before the end of the game and that is always irritating.

I recommend this game!

Completed Mac demo only

I love the zombie-themed Match 3 games this dev offers, and I really love their sense of humor, but the Match 3 levels are just average with average tiles of fruit and chocolate, average bonuses and power-ups, and average features, in fact, they added a multi-board feature but that is a staple feature in several other Match 3 games by other developers.

Completed Mac demo only

I love the zombie-themed Match 3 games this dev offers, and I really love their sense of humor, but the Match 3 levels are just average with average tiles of fruit and chocolate, average bonuses and power-ups, and average features, in fact, they added a multi-board feature but that is a staple feature in several other Match 3 games by other developers. I signed up to beta test this game a while back but it wouldn't work on my PC, which was understandable as a beta, but to my disbelief, it still didn't work on my PC and I had to play the Mac version.

This is a Swap type, Limited Moves Match 3 game with 96 Levels and 21 Achievements. (Read the achievements before playing because there are several "Easter Eggs" such as hidden Fairies and Zombies) You can play in a Normal difficulty mode, which gives you a normal amount of Moves to complete the level goals, a Casual mode which gives you more moves to complete the goals or a Relaxed mode which doesn't limit the number of moves, and awards you with 3 stars per level.

The goal is Customer Satisfaction, in previous games you had to make matches of a specific tile which was shown in bubbles on the customer profile, this time you only need to earn a specified number of points by making matches of any tile, however, you also need to make matches to clear colored cells, and break obstacles.

Large Matches will give you a Power-up on the board, as you progress, some levels require you to make matches of specific tiles to earn Boosters, such as a Hammer to remove a single tile, a Bow to remove a row of tiles to the left or right, or Water Balloons that remove a large number of obstacles, however, the boosters earned on those levels disappear after completing that particular level.

◈A Match 4 gives you a Bomb which explodes a 9 tile radius, ◈A Match 5 gives you a Rocket which targets random tiles. ◈A Match 6 gives you a Lightning Bolt which destroys a column & row.

The Obstacles are just average obstacles, Dirty Tiles & Sand Tiles (requires a match on them to remove) Grass Tiles (requires 2 matches to remove) Water Tiles & Chocolate Tiles (multiples until destroyed) Chains & Double Chains (requires 1-2 matches of the same tile chained) Grids (requires matches of tile within) Wood Crates & Shielded Crates (requires an adjacent match or match adjacent to unprotected side) Ice Cubes (requires adjacent match) Stone Tiles (requires several adjacent matches or power-up) Torches (create a continuous line of fire with matches, Grey Tiles won't burn, they fire will extinguish after several unrelated matches) Some of the obstacles will slide or fall down if matches are made under them.

After completing a Match 3 level you can purchase the Hotel, and other buildings and accessories with the coins you earned, until the Resort in Miami has been completed. There are several Achievements that I found to be unique and actually more fun than the game itself, I especially liked the well-hidden Fairies. They SHOULD HAVE made a Collector's Edition version with several Hidden Zombies & Fairies throughout the game with more "Easter Egg" Achievements. The Standard Edition COULD HAVE been just the M3 game w/o the hidden zombie/fairies and No Achievements...I would totally be willing to purchase a CE version and this particular game, just to search for more Easter Eggs...{Pm me, we'll talk, wink-wink}

I was playing the demo for about 25 minutes. All the time I kept thinking, no, I do not like this game. Yet I felt compelled to keep playing. I was even thinking maybe I would use a game credit to get it, but then the game suddenly crashed. So I am not wasting a credit on it.

I recommend this game!

We don't get as many match 3 's that we used to. I miss that since next to hidden object games I like match 3's the best.This one just doesn't fit the bill for me. Not that it's a bad game, it isn't.

I like kicking back to play games, so I only use relaxed mode. I guess I'm spoiled, having many match 3 games that are awesome. Queen's Garden 2, which also has one for a Halloween and Christmas garden ,plus a Japanese garden, Jewel Match Royale, Jewel Match Rise of the KIng, Farmscape, Silver Tale,(this one has limited moves but you can play with extra moves), to name a few. I keep hoping for match 3's that are equal to these. :-( Show less

Nice clean graphics, cute buildings scenes. BUT, there are several levels that require you to light ALL TILES with TORCHES to win the levels. BUT, by the time you get MANY tiles lit, THE PREVIOUS TILES GO DARK AGAIN! So, after 15 extremely boring minutes continuing to try to relight all before they go out, I just stopped the game. Wouldn't have been so annoying if it wasn't a nice game otherwise.

I don't recommend this game.

I wish I could get my money back. This is by far the worst game in the series. The awful fire levels and the hundreds of points to take care of one of the people make it more of a job than a game. No fun at all!

I don't recommend this game.
