I very rarely like or buy timed match-3 games and even when I do I can't finish all the levels so it was a rare treat that I could. So I loved the fact that it was easy (or forgiving) enough. If you're faster you can make more money faster and buy Granny's home sooner but if you're slow like me you still can earn money and "flip" the house even if you don't complete it. I will replay so I can pay ...Show more

I will replay so I can pay more attention to the renovation rather than just rushing to match. Show less

I recommend this game!

In this M3 you don't swap, group or chain tiles. The goal is to make matches on the grid by clicking arrows located at the top, bottom, left and right sides of the grid, causing the line of icons to shift one place and match two other like icons, or a matching bomb, in the line (Note: the background color of the bomb tells you which icons you can match it with.

In this M3 you don't swap, group or chain tiles. The goal is to make matches on the grid by clicking arrows located at the top, bottom, left and right sides of the grid, causing the line of icons to shift one place and match two other like icons, or a matching bomb, in the line (Note: the background color of the bomb tells you which icons you can match it with. Took me a while to figure that out!). It's not as easy as it sounds in the beginning. Your brain has to shift from what it knows in traditional M3 to this concept. You are given a certain number of each type of renovation material to collect to achieve the goal of the level. If you do, you increase your earnings and are able to move onto another property on that level to renovate. That's about all there is to this game, but the different kind of matching has it's appeal. I didn't care for the music but the graphics are bright and colorful. When you've earned enough money, the game will tell you that you're eligible to move to a better neighborhood where the purchase price of the properties is more in line with your current available funds. Give it a try...I enjoyed the trial, got about 30% through the game in the one hour, but not one I would purchase. Show less

This game is very short with only four neighborhoods to play, from trailer park to very rich houses and there is no going back to completed areas once you move out of the neighborhood or any replay of level . It either flipped by earning money or flopped by losing money.

This game is very short with only four neighborhoods to play, from trailer park to very rich houses and there is no going back to completed areas once you move out of the neighborhood or any replay of level . It either flipped by earning money or flopped by losing money.
There are no other objectives but to earn enough money to buy granny a house. It will cost you 3 million, ha. I love granny but dag, should of had to buy her a reasonable priced house and continue to earn money from flipping houses so you could buy furniture and other things. It would of helped in the monotony.

The good things about this game is the match 3 variation on how you make matches. Instead of the traditional way, you have to slide the whole grid. I liked that and it made it fun and different. Also by flipping houses you had to repair items like the doors, windows, tile ect. which depended on the number of matches you made of that type in order to complete repair. If you made more of these matches than needed you wasted material and it reflected in your profits.

The not so good was after you bought granny the house the game is over. No bonus free play or untimed unlock or nothing, you start at beginning and game starts new again without saving profile. Also it claims 3 difficulty levels, but you don't get to pick which ones you play, they are mixed in every neighborhood. You have to be good enough to play all difficulties. I got through the game with only flopping one or two houses so therefore made my money fast to move through the more profitable neighborhoods. It took very good concentration and quickness with that timer going, so the challenge was sufficient. I liked the easy to medium grid but hated the hard grid. It was too tiny and hard on the eyesight with too many like colors, they all started looking the same and hard to make matches. It didn't even offer a shuffle unless you were completely out of matches. Regardless even with the timer I managed to finish the whole game in one day. I was hoping it would have replay value with an endless story line so you could continue to play. Maybe to earn money to pay granny's monthly bills, but nope. They don't even give a trophy for any achievements. Very disappointing. Was it worth the buy? No. Maybe on a very good sale. I would hope they would improve it and come out with a flip or flop 2 because I did enjoy this type of match 3 and earning money with this concept. Just too short with one objective, although it was fun so I will recommend. Show less

I recommend this game!

This was definitely a different sort of match 3. The sounds were ok, and so were the visuals. Didn't notice a storyline so much as I only made it through first level before getting a notice that I was allowed to play in other areas. Simply put it is a nice idea and was fun for awhile before getting bored. I would not play this game continuously on end like some. More for the easy to medium ...Show more

Here is my review. There is not a lot to do in the game. There should be more stuff. I thought the visuals and sound was pretty good. The game needed a lot more challenge. It is just getting matches in a grid when fixing a house and managing money. The storyline goes like this: Your granny forgets to pay bills and looses her house (which is more like a mansion).

It is just getting matches in a grid when fixing a house and managing money. The storyline goes like this: Your granny forgets to pay bills and looses her house (which is more like a mansion). To buy her house back, you need to earn money by fixing up other houses.

That's the review. Hope you enjoyed. Show less
