I have all the Clutter Games by Joe - Thin Sliders have always been a favorite of mine, and now there's a whole section! The new Find the Differences is a totally new take on that kind of puzzle, and it is a challenge, which I love! If you're a newbie to Joe's world of Clutter, I'd try an older game, but if you've been on the ride all along, grab this one up!!!!

I recommend this game!

I haven't had any issues with the things people are mentioning here; maybe the game needs to be redownloaded? I'll make sure Joe's aware of these glitches... I'm sure he'll try to fix the problems.

First, I want to say that there are a couple of reviews here talking about the interface/instructions being too complicated. Those made me a bit hesitant as well but Joe hasn't let me down yet, so I went ahead and bought the game. If you have played any recent Clutter, definitely those numbered 12 or more, and possibly one or two before that, the interface should not be too much different. In the upper left corner you will find the volume control. You can customize most things in the game by clicking the gear icon next to it. There are multiple adjustments you can make within that menu. This is where you can slow down or remove the timer completely. You can hide the bouncy effect when removing pieces, which I personally hate, so thank you for that setting Joe! You can set up unlimited hints, and also remove the penalty for a wrong click. And you can toggle full screen (default) to windowed if you want. There are other controls here and clicking on any of them will give a description of what they do. Those who have played these games before will understand them. If you are new to Joe's Clutters, aside from changing to windowed mode if you want, I suggest leaving the rest alone until you get a feel for the game.

As always there is a quest that you start in. I still go through this with every Clutter, just to see what's new and what new things I like and what I don't like. There is also an "old school" quest that leaves out a lot of the more recent types of games. In addition to these there are many different areas containing many different puzzle types, so you can find the ones you like the best either immediately or later on. To access these areas use the up arrow to the left of the gear icon which takes you to the main menu. To close the game at any time, use the X also to the left of the gear icon. If you are in the middle of a level when you close the game you have to start it over, but otherwise when you open the game again it will put you where you left off.

I'm about a third of the way through the main quest so far, so I have not experienced all of the new stuff yet. However I want to give Joe full marks on the new things he has come up with. I hate "spot the difference" type puzzles with a passion, so I was very skeptical about that type being included in Clutter. But Joe has taken this type of puzzle and made it his own, and I'm extremely pleased with the result, so don't write this game off without trying it if you generally hate that type of puzzle too. I'm not sure if you can get to more than one of these in the demo, but if not, you should know they get quite a bit more fiendish later on. Think mirror images as a start but there are others. Speaking of fiendish, there's been a couple of other puzzles so far that I've found very difficult, but in a good way.

For those who have played before "close counts" is back with a vengeance. I was so happy to see these again, because they had been one of my favorites but were missing from the last couple of games. If you've played recent Clutters, most of his newer enhancements, for instance rotating circles, are back but with some upgrades. There are of course the perennial favorites including picture puzzles, Clutter gaps, box quotes, and sliders. And yes for those like me who love them and had been missing them the super thin sliders are also back!

Finally I want to say that Joe came up with the original Clutter game and has been upgrading and improving it with every iteration since. By now of course there are several Clutter imitations out there from various publishers, because that's what happens when someone successfully develops a new type of game. I've tried the ones I've run into and just cannot play them, as they really are pale imitations of what Joe puts out and he has spoiled me. So if you've tried some of those wannabe Clutter clones and not liked them much, give this game a try because it is a lot different and in my opinion head and shoulders above all the rest. Show less

I recommend this game!

Love these games! I enjoy trying to beat the timer and enjoy the pictures and colors he uses to play. I was hoping for a Christmas game, but totally understand how long it can take to create these games! Can't wait for #16! Keep it going, Joe!

But easily earns 5 stars and then some! I love Joe's games and own several but this one didn't work for me, looking at so much game just kind of stressed me out. Sounds silly, right? It's a great CE value, definitely, and I love the very sharp and colorful graphics. However there is just too much going on for me.

But easily earns 5 stars and then some! I love Joe's games and own several but this one didn't work for me, looking at so much game just kind of stressed me out. Sounds silly, right? It's a great CE value, definitely, and I love the very sharp and colorful graphics. However there is just too much going on for me.

Too many....instructions, icons to click on for features/options, too many objects on SHORT timer. The clutter scenes were dizzying. I wanted to by-pass the sliders/pic puzzles and clutter, and go to the Box Quotes first, which are my favorites. But couldn't figure out how to get there. I was stuck in the clutter and finally relieved by a Spot the Difference. For me, it all felt uncomfy. I was frustrated.

The demo was brimming with just what you'd expect but lots more of it. I did enjoy parts of it. The timer spoiled some of the clutter fun, don't know if it could be turned off.

Everyone who loves Joe's brilliant creations will surely be over the moon with this latest puzzle collection. For me it wasn't so grand and my non-perfect vision didn't help any. Show less
