I liked this game because of the story line. The graphics are nice also. It's a nice little game when you just want to play something easy. I only tried the free play but I will be buying this soon.

I recommend this game!

This is a nice, relaxing match 3 game, where you help Amanda restore scenes in a magical world. I like the piano music in the background, too. Enjoyable little game.

I recommend this game!

This is actually a decent swap type Match 3 game, and the graphics have significantly improved since the last Amanda game. However, I have a few issues with this game that took away a couple of stars from my ratings. This M3 game has all of the exact same features as the other games in this series, and it seems to me that there wasn't much of a change with the board layouts as well.

The biggest flaw this game has, is the fact that the tiles are way too similar, for example there are 2 tiles or elements that are basically the same shade of pink, and almost identical in shape as well. On several occasions, I found myself stalled mid-game as I tried to figure out where the matches were after trying to match 3 tiles that weren't the same, but looked the same.

I also don't like it when a Match 3 game has a 3 Star scoring system, but then doesn't allow you replay the levels to try to earn a better score. You can however, restart the level, as long as you don't complete the level, otherwise, I was unable to find a way to replay the levels once the level was complete.

The goals are given at the beginning of each level such as, clearing all brown tiles, collecting a certain amount of specific element resources, or releasing books and other various resources, by dropping them to the bottom of the board. You will earn bonuses as you progress, that become available when the Mana Meter fills with each match, such as a Hammer to clear a single tile, a Bomb to clear a four tile range of tiles or chains, and a resource Collector to clear all tiles of the same type of your choice and any brown tiles or chains associated with the chosen tile element.

The level goals must be completed within the metered time allotted. After each level you can use the resources collected to purchase upgrades, to decorate the Rainforest with ponds, which actually isn't as ridiculous as it sounds. After buying all 4 upgrades, the next chapter will be unlocked. There are 5 different chapters of the story, the Enchanted Forest, The Frozen City, the Sunken City, Dragon's Keep and the Magma Temples.

Some tiles are inside of a bubble that constantly Morphs between tile elements. You can pop the bubble once the tile morphs to the desired element you want, which can really be beneficial, especially when your trying to make matches with chained elements or obstacles. Matching groups of elements will fill the manna meter and 5 elements are needed to buy upgrades.

I liked this game way more than the last one offered, but I want to be able to replay levels that I don't earn all 3 stars on, and I definitely want to be able to easily distinguish between the tiles, but I may just use a PCC for this one.

I only played the demo, and I did enjoy it, but I found by the time it was over I was losing interest. Too much of the same old, same old with not enough variety being introduced into the play to keep it interesting. I wouldn't buy it but if you absolutely love this genre it might appeal to you. I'd at least recommend giving it a try.

I recommend this game!

I usually like match 3 games. I was glad to see the cheerful fairy graphic. However, the unresponsive or sticky mouse aspect is so annoying that it is a no buy for me. I don't like click click clicking to move the same tile. Disappointed.

I don't recommend this game.

Match three until you fill up the counts required <yawn>. Didn't even finish the free hour. Nothing special here at all.

I've been playing casual games for many (many) years and it seems like some of these companies just regurgitate the same game with different skins.

I don't recommend this game.
