I absolutely LOVE this game I would very much like for them to make more of the same.
Is there a way to ask Big Fish for this?

I recommend this game!

I took a chance to buy it and when I understood what is the principle to get the boosters, it is very easy to have 3 stars before the end of the number of moves. Even though I'm not a fan of the games with limit times or moves. If you are patient in playing the entire demo you will enjoy the game more and more. I don't regret buying it at all.

I recommend this game!

This is a game with limited moves and no option to change to timed. The graphics are not crisp but the music is lovely. I usually don't leave music up, but enjoyed this. There is a very simple progression with no mini-games. Not a great game, but a nice little Christmas game even if you only play the tutorial.

I don't recommend this game.

I didn't like this game at first but decided to give it a try, It is very hard to get around the game. You have to be very precise when traveling to the different levels. I did manage to complete the game and this is where I was duped. There is no way to reset the game and start again. Yes you can replay levels but would it have killed the developers to put in a reset option? I really hate it when ...Show more

When you first enter this game just use the forward arrow on your keyboard to get to the painting in front of you to play level 1. Don't "walk around the house" because the other paintings all tell you that level isn't ready to play yet.

It is snowing huge snowflakes OVER the entire play board so it is extremely distracting. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone with seizure problems ...Show more

When you first enter this game just use the forward arrow on your keyboard to get to the painting in front of you to play level 1. Don't "walk around the house" because the other paintings all tell you that level isn't ready to play yet.

It is snowing huge snowflakes OVER the entire play board so it is extremely distracting. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone with seizure problems because there are several things moving at once and you can't shut off the snow in settings.

Fast matching is impossible because the tiles were sluggish. After a few levels I realized it was a limited moves type of M3 so I was playing it wrong from the first screen. I've been playing M3s for years but I was awful at this one.

You need to match several of one kind of tile. There are candy canes, stars, green stockings, snowmen, blue star mittens, & Santa hats. So the purpose each level is to find & match 30 stars then the next level find 40 blue mittens, etc.

It has some fun explosive tiles such as a glowing Christmas light, a glowing snowflake (match 5), and a glowing Santa that makes a fun jingle noise when it explodes.

As I went into level 5 it told me I failed the level because I didn't do it in 54 moves. I got 0 stars and it forced me to replay the level. I replayed the level and failed again. Restarted the same level a 3rd time it told me I failed and this time it punished me by freezing my computer. LOL (mind you I wasn't laughing at the time.)
I had no more patience for this game and gave up. I just didn’t think it was fun.
Sorry for the bad review. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

First of all, the screen was out of proportion, and only the top section of the tabs to access the gameplay were visible so I had to guess at what they actually did. There were no setting options such as windowed mode and I had to endure reading several lengthy tutorial pages...one long page explaining each powerup and feature.

First of all, the screen was out of proportion, and only the top section of the tabs to access the gameplay were visible so I had to guess at what they actually did. There were no setting options such as windowed mode and I had to endure reading several lengthy tutorial pages...one long page explaining each powerup and feature.

To make matters more complicated, they decided to add an archaic WASD feature to walk up to a painting to enter the level. For those of you who don't know what WASD is, you have to use those keyboard keys to "walk". The W and S control forward and backward movement, while A and D are left and right movements. You can also use the keyboard arrow keys, or simply click on the arrow keys located on the bottom left of the actual screen... so why in the heck did they bother with WSAD keys???

A Match 4 will earn a Snowflake that destroys a 9-cell radius, an L-shape gives you a Christmas Light that destroys a Vertical or Horizontal line, and an L-shape with 1 extra gem gives you a Gem to destroy all of the same kind of gem it is swapped with. The goal is to make a specified number of a specified tile as shown.

Gold Cells require a match made on them, some of which are covered in up to 3 layers of wrapping paper. Some tiles are frozen in ice and require making matches of whichever tile is encased in the ice, and some collectibles must be brought to the bottom of the board to collect the,

I played the first level, the icons are tiny, the M3 board itself was so large it barely fit my large screen (38" curved) I matched the required number of Santa Hats and the score window popped up showing I had only received 1 Star! The text for the score stats overlapped the tab to click "DONE" to move on to the next level and no matter what I tried, I couldn't click the tab and I eventually had to click ctrl/alt/delete to "escape" the nightmare??

How bad is this game? After going through page after page of instructions such as four in a row does this, an L shape does this, I couldn't figure out how to get started. Something about using arrow keys. Why make things so complicated?

I don't recommend this game.

The original room view is huge, but when you finally get to the match 3 games, the squares are so small, they are hard to see. Having to walk around a room using an antiquated arrow type system is clumsy at best. Didn't even finish the first game, I quit.

I don't recommend this game.
