This game has more depth than the average match 3. On the surface it appears quite ordinary and boring, If you read the directions you'll find that different combinations of power-ups cause unique effects that will help you achieve 3 stars. The game allows you to replay earlier levels with your new powers, and has timed, moves, and relaxed modes.

The graphics are great, it has a real story line, and you can click at top speed with no problems. A great and more challenging match 3. Show less

I like match 3 games a lot. Everyone has different things that they like or look for in a game. For me, I want the option of no timer and no limited moves. I want to enjoy myself -- not be harassed. I also want to be able to make moves immediately, especially while things are automatically falling. I like different challenges (drop something, collect a certain number, etc).

This game has everything I like in it. I would purchase it if it weren't for the subject matter. If I have to interact with witches, demons, gods, etc, then the game is not for me. A similar game that involves science fiction, steampunk, non-occult storytelling, and the like are most welcome. Show less

I recommend this game!

For the price, you can't beat this new match-3 game. It's a lot of game for the money. The objects are big, the graphics and sounds are perfect, and the difficulty can be adjusted from invincible to challenging with a wonderful variety of moves and combinations.

It has a slight retro-feel to it with the action and sound but with modern graphics. Show less

Finally! A challenging M3 - and with the choice of relaxed, timed or limited moves mode. I had plenty of fun playing the demo, found it to be of the same high quality as the two Imperial Island games I purchased a few years ago + enough new (bonuses and how to use them in particular) to keep me well entertained. Large game boards, clear graphics, fast & smooth play. Here's hoping the fun and challenge continue to the end of the game (I muchly regret the high rating, based on the demo, I gave the last M3 game I reviewed).

I suggest starting off in relaxed mode because the tutorial is way behind in telling you how to use the bonuses you create -- and you need them to earn those 3 stars. For instance, it took me until the 3rd level to figure out I needed to include the coloured arrows and bombs in a same-coloured match to get them to work. The tutorial didn't tell me that until level 4 or 5 which would've been really frustrating if I were playing timed or moves. Perhaps that's common knowledge for many other M3 players but it wasn't for me. As for those 3 stars per level -- I love a good M3 game and get bored long before the end if there's no real challenge. And in my book, there's no real challenge if I can earn all 3 the 1st time I play almost all the levels. I play a game the first time just for fun (relaxed mode, can't 'lose') and if I love it, I'll play it again with earning all those stars as my main goal. And if I really, really love it, then I gotta play it yet again, in timed mode :-) Boy, am I hoping this is one of those... Show less

A new game by Quick Click Games ("Magica Travel Agency" and "Save Halloween") is especially welcome during a period in which there seems to be a dearth of good new match-3 games. You can play in relaxed, moves, or timed modes. Colors and graphics are really good, and the music (which I almost always turn off) is pleasant and relaxing.

I find this game to be enjoyable, but then I play on the relaxed mode, don't need the tension of trying to do it the hard way. I like the powerups and how the game plays. Found it to be interesting and fun and worth the $3.49 they are charging today, so I bought it.

I recommend this game!

At first this seemed very simplistic but the more I played the more involved it became
Played through the first 10 levels then started over to use the various power ups and strategies learned.
A lot of fun.
Much more involved game than it first appears.
Good colors, the character drawings are odd but not a real issue
I bought it - I like this game.

I recommend this game!
