I played the demo after reading some of the other reviews. I think the main concern or disappointment comes from the fact that this is NOT a Hidden Object game. These are not scenes or landscapes with a list of objects hidden within them. This is a pair/matching game similar to the "Clutter" games.

I played the demo after reading some of the other reviews. I think the main concern or disappointment comes from the fact that this is NOT a Hidden Object game. These are not scenes or landscapes with a list of objects hidden within them. This is a pair/matching game similar to the "Clutter" games. You match pairs of pictures on tiles or chips and you EARN raindrops based on how quickly you clear the playing field and reveal the beautiful pictures beneath. You can then "spend" those raindrops in a store full of beautiful landscapes and scenes to put into a personal album. The music and pictures are beautiful and the game is very relaxing. I did not experience any issues with cursor speed or movement. This game has a large amount of material and many variations of game play. You can play just your favorite version of the games listed or you can choose to have the game serve you random selections from all of the types available (like a Clutter "quest") If you enjoy this type of matching game then this is a top notch representative of the genre. I did purchase the game after playing the demo. I hope this review helps folks. Show less

I recommend this game!

This review is based on the demo as played on a Windows 11 PC with a 27-inch monitor.

I love the prior games this developer has put out, but this one misses the mark in several (but easily - I believe - correctible) areas.

1. Game concept is sound and interesting.

This review is based on the demo as played on a Windows 11 PC with a 27-inch monitor.

I love the prior games this developer has put out, but this one misses the mark in several (but easily - I believe - correctible) areas.

Good points:

1. Game concept is sound and interesting.
2. Production values are high (graphics, sound, etc,)
3. This is a BIG game - lots of value for your money.

Needs improvement:

1. Cursor sensitivity needs to be improved.
2. A short introductory scetion should be added to explain how to make game selections, and undertanding how to earn the achievements available in the game. Optionally, the opening screen could be re-designed to be similar to your "Photo Puzzles" games.
3. Do not assume that the gamer has played your previous offerings, and remember that this is a BIG game where confusion could easily occur. Please make it as simple to understand as is possible.

Looking forward to your updates of this game, and to future additions to your previous game series(s).

I can not recommend this game as is, but will heartily recommend it once some changes are made. Show less

I would think this might appeal to about the 8 year old and up through young teen group. It is quite easy, however, either the game is glitchy or there are random rules they don't tell you about. Some "pairs" had to be clicked on numerous times before the game recognized you had chosen a pairl.

Each game consists of matching little pictures that uncover a large image depicting the theme of each category. You can move the pics around to reveal the ones underneath, like in the clutter games. The Hidden Pairs was challenging with everything too well concealed. The other categories were super easy.

The number of items matched is at bottom of screen along with clock showing time used. The few features include Hint, Help, Shuffle. If you want to leave your current game and choose another you have to return to menu. That, for me, is a big annoying negative. Graphics are sharp, nice colors, images are so-so. However the Photo Gallery contains gorgeous images which can be saved. Check it out! Flower Cards are all locked, not sure what is required to unlock them.

The demo was boring, not much of a reward for your efforts. The visuals in the games are underwhelming. Nothing really special except for the Photo Gallery, just another twist on another match game. It will likely please you if endless matching is your thing. With nothing to break up the monotony it would not be a good choice for me. Show less

Normally, I love games by this developer who brought us Photo Puzzles HD, Puzzle Box, and Amazing Trip To Europe. I actually like this game too but my cursor moved at a snails pace and it became annoying to continue. As usual, the developer included several puzzle & Hidden Object varieties so hopefully, they will fix this glitch soon!

Normally, I love games by this developer who brought us Photo Puzzles HD, Puzzle Box, and Amazing Trip To Europe. I actually like this game too but my cursor moved at a snails pace and it became annoying to continue. As usual, the developer included several puzzle & Hidden Object varieties so hopefully, they will fix this glitch soon!

I'm not sure why everyone is saying the game is different than what the synopsis says because there are a ton of different games to choose from.

MATCHING PAIRS
The goal is to click on two round tokens with identical images.

TRIPLE MATCH
The goal is to click on three round tokens with identical images

THIRTEENS (13's)
This is a Solitaire game where you must click on two cards with the sum of 13 (Jack +2-Queen +Ace-7+6 etc.)

TILE MATCH Rainforest
The goal is to click on two tiles to match two halves of each object.

TRIPLE TILE
The goal is to match three identical tiles (not tokens). Tiles can be moved.

EMOJI PAIRS
Find matching Emoji tiles. Tiles can be moved.

MAKE 10
This is another card game where you remove matching pairs of cards.

MAHJONG TILES
Remove identical Mahjong tiles

HIDDEN PAIRS
This is a Hidden Object Game where you search for matching objects, some of which are hidden behind parts of the scenery.

There are also Hidden Butterflies that allow you to rescue animals 10 animals in 10 different scenes or purchase 30 Flower Cards.

FIND MATCHING CATS
The goal is to find all matching adorable cat tokens.

FIND LISTED ITEMS
Remove tokens in multiples that are listed on the left of the screen, such as 19 Dogs, 13 Birds, and 12 Flowers.

MATCH PAIRS HARD (CE version only)
This was my favorite category. You have to move tokens to find matching pairs. There are hundreds of tokens so it can be challenging to dig through layers to find a match.

I couldn't find any settings to opt for a custom cursor which may have solved the unusually slow cursor issue. However, in some of the categories, I was having to click on a set of matching tokens several time before the match was removed. In one level the matched tokens were removed at such a slow pace that it seemed like forever. This is obviously a glitch. I have a new Alienware Aurora R13 with upgrades on every aspect, so it isn't an issue with my computer being outdated.

I would suggest you at least give this game a try, especially if you like other games by this developer.

The intro on the Big Fish page does not match the game play! Maybe its hidden somewhere. the home page of the game is a confusing mess.
I started at the top, selecting match pairs. some cute cat pictures but nothing challenging. back ground was a butterfly. Did not see any water drops to collect nor butterflies to collect. I clicked continue and the next scene had the same cat pictures, exactly the same, but a different background. HUH?
On the main page I tried other sections. the graphics were grainy, puzzles seem haphazardly thrown together. And some pictures made me think of "Good Job" kindergarten stickers.
Still not sure where the engaging scenes are, as shown on big fish page, but I couldn't take any more of this game to find out. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

The group where you match circles is ridiculous! Many cover over others, so have to move all those before you can find match AND match has to be EXACTLY right - and Hints just worthless. The Mahjong and a couple other areas much better but so easy that it's not much fun.
ONLY GOOD THING is LOVELY PICTURES! What were the developers thinking to put this in a CE?

I was clicking on matching cats in circles and when I clicked to the right to match, I was thrown out of the screen back my news page. What is happening Big Fish?
Not much eh?
