I loved the new approach in this game, having bugs in this game made it more fun and challenging to play.

I recommend this game!

Love this game, but when I got to the avacado level, a bug could not be killed. I gave up. I will download it again later to see if they fixed the problem.

I like the approach of match 3 plus killing bugs. Great combination.

Other than that I love it. It's too bad they don't have levels of challenge. That way you can make it work...no matter what abilities you have.

I recommend this game!

I read all the reviews from people who formed an opinion after 10 minutes of play. They claim it's boooooring, All I can say is they quit too soon. Each level of this game gets more difficult, until it's practically impossible. (I'm looking at you, Level 50!) But I realize new strategies each time I play.

I recommend this game!

This game has the potential to be a cute, mindless Match 3, but it is programmed with one of my biggest pet peeves for a Match 3, you cannot make another move until all cascading is finished, which eats up a considerable amount of time playing against a clock. Based on that alone, I will not buy this game.

I don't recommend this game.

This game had the potential to be much better than it was.
Graphics colourful, instructions clear and detailed.
No annoying music.
Storyline basic - match 3 of the specified type of fruit (to plant a garden) and don't let the bugs get them.

Fairly straightforward match 3 varieties - chains, complex layouts etc.

The big downer is the implementation of the match cascading. As a previous reviewer stated you have to wait for all the matches to complete cascading before your next move. A real problem in timed mode or for eliminating the bugs before they get the fruit.

Fun for an hour but I wouldn't buy this one. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

This looked to be a cute M3 game, and for the most part, it is. It's your typical M3 game - match fruits and powerups, break chains, turn all the blocks white, etc. Something different here is the bug-fighting challenge. Not too difficult - you make a lot of matches and fireballs shoot at the bugs to kill them. However, if the bug reaches your garden, it turns all you block back to green. And, ...Show more

This looked to be a cute M3 game, and for the most part, it is. It's your typical M3 game - match fruits and powerups, break chains, turn all the blocks white, etc. Something different here is the bug-fighting challenge. Not too difficult - you make a lot of matches and fireballs shoot at the bugs to kill them. However, if the bug reaches your garden, it turns all you block back to green. And, there are powerups you can earn to combat them easier.

You have to earn most of the powerups by matching specific fruits. Some you buy with fruit, some you just get automatically. Having only played an hour, I don't have a lot of detail here, but it's not too difficult to understand.

My only complaint is that it runs very sluggish. Don't know if it's my computer or just the way the game runs. It was hard grabbing on to the items to switch them sometimes. You also have to wait for all the chain-reactions to stop before you can start switching fruits again - grrr! I like a little faster play with M3 games.

I'm going to recommend this for anyone who wants a cute, not too challenging M3 game, but try it before buying and make sure it runs well for you. Show less

I recommend this game!

I'm gonna make this short & sweet.

This game would be much more engaging if:
1. You didn't have to wait for the cascading to stop before making your next move.
2. The graphics weren't so plain and one dimensional.
3. The color scheme was brighter....more lively looking.

I played just a few minutes of the game and became frustrated with having to wait for the cascading to stop to make my next move. I didn't realize it would be so annoying and frustrating.....especially when on a timer.

This is a fairly old game, but if the developers would come up with a new & improved version with great sound effects, big explosions and a better sound for when the bugs are hit, they may get more attention.

Right now I'm in my Match 3 phase, and feel that BFG is in need of some new games that keep the player engaged, interested and on a meaningful quest for power-ups, points, and treasures.

Come on BFG.....you can do it!!!! :) Show less

Just kind of hang out waiting for all matches made after each move. Boring. Did not finish free time before I deleted. Way to slow!

I don't recommend this game.

This game would be better if it was challenging. The fact that you have to wait before making a new move, just drives me insane. I like fast-paced, challenging games and this is NOT one of those. This game would be good for a child learning their shapes.

I don't recommend this game.
