After several of what I consider "bombs" in this game series, I believe the balance of fun and gentle challenge has been restored. Although several of the series' installments were good, along the way they took a left turn for other installments.

After several of what I consider "bombs" in this game series, I believe the balance of fun and gentle challenge has been restored. Although several of the series' installments were good, along the way they took a left turn for other installments. I personally love #9, the one about the wedding; not for the story line (cute, but aimed at children, not adults) but more for the solid blend of items (not too much alike that it made the search frustrating beyond endurance yet similar enough to sometimes catch me off guard), the music interspersed with ambient street sounds and ocean/water sounds, the mini-games (my favorite are the memory matches), and the fact that the items sizes are perfect...not like some of the other installments where the sizes were so big it was laughable, like something for very young children.

Still loving the "skip" button that allows me to bypass the sections with which I have more trouble than I want to deal, especially when the pieces are broken up and you have to put them together...it tests my patience and more often than not, I move on without completing them. I do understand that for others it is fun, so just keep putting in that skip button!

All in all, I am very satisfied with this installment. The developer once more hit the "sweet spot." Thank God, too, because I was wearing out installment #9, playing it over and over because several of the others just weren't that good. Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on the completed demo only
I liked:
- The sound effects.
- Overall just a really fun matching game to play.

Didn't like:
- The Christmas music playing in April. It felt like the music in this game may have been copy/pasted from a Christmas Shopping Clutter. Some of the later songs were really good though.

- The first MG that requires you to swap & flip tiles to create an image. In general I don’t like those.
- The "edible items" level requires you to find food items but I was frustrated that the following items weren't classified as edible: artichokes, mushrooms, red berries, and jarred preserves/syrup...however...a sprig of white berries (with leaves) *was* considered food (for who? lol)

I'm really compulsive with those yellow hint stars. I rapidly click every one of them from the board like a madwoman before I can even start matching items and the moment one gets uncovered I'm on that sucker too. Ha-ha

I really do love this series. Fun game. Show less

You would think the devs could come up with some new music and new mini games. Fourteen games of basically the same music and the same slider & memory games is enough already. And wasting time to click on tons of yellow suns only to gain one or two hints is ridiculous.

If you have never played one of these Shopping Clutter games before, I actually recommend you try one of them. Any one of them because they all have the same premise. It was a cute series when it first premiered, but now it's just monotonous. Why do developers have to run a good thing into the ground instead of coming up with something new? Show less

I don't recommend this game.

but I'm just not succeeding! I thought at least helping Auntie Sheep decorate a greenhouse might be kind of fun. But nope! The greenhouse is waiting to be filled with various plants and items I earned but the task wasn't enjoyable at all. I can't imagine hanging in there for 140 levels without being bored to death!

but I'm just not succeeding! I thought at least helping Auntie Sheep decorate a greenhouse might be kind of fun. But nope! The greenhouse is waiting to be filled with various plants and items I earned but the task wasn't enjoyable at all. I can't imagine hanging in there for 140 levels without being bored to death!

There are lots of levels and 20 puzzles. The 2 play modes are Easy and Difficult. With the timed difficult mode you receive extra points for not using a hint and for time remaining. Your achievement is posted on a scoreboard with other players who are animals. I don't see the point and think it is stupid! I collected all that is required, yet I continued to get a low score, not that it really matters I guess.

There is too much useless dialogue but it can be skipped. The music contained one of my favorite piano tunes used in some of my mosaic games, so that was very pleasant. The graphics were as usual very clear and super colorful. This makes everything so easy to locate along with the items being pretty big. I played 12 levels in the demo and one tile jigsaw puzzle. Nothing was challenging about any of them. The only challenge I met was to finish enough levels upon which to base my opinion of the game.

It, like the other 13 clutter games, was boring and tedious. The same style of matching throughout, long lists and way too many sun emblems. There were up to 30 in each level, they weren't gigantic but definitely in my way and quickly became annoying. There is simply no need for so many, they do nothing to increase the fun and challenge is never affected.

I believe Winter Garden, as all the Walker games, will be enjoyed by players of any age without threat of a frustrating challenge slowing the fun. Those who want to relax with a very simple game to just fill some idle time will like it. For me it is too monotonous, even in the timed mode. I can't recommend or not, but try the demo. It may be just what you're looking for in a cutter/puzzle game. Show less

It's really annoying to be proud of myself for going very fast through some of these levels - and ALWAYS GETTING RATED 2nd FROM THE BOTTOM! Lost my interest in any competition, and having the same type of levels over and over again just gets boring - for me, anyway.
