Wicked fun game . . . You can choose the "Newbie" level of play, which in turn allows you to replay layouts to achieve the highest score . . . Great music & graphics . . .

Having played the Beta version, I looked forward to this installment of the series, & I think that this is a fun game mostly, except for a couple of the arcade-esque puzzles, which I thought were annoying . . . The little mascot is cute, & the storyline is nice, & the artwork is fabulous . . . I'm glad I got it . . .

The aspect ratio in the Beta version was fine, at least on my computer . . . The release version aspect ratio is too big, & won't correct in any screen resolution, & won't go to windowed aspect in any resolution, either . . .

Gosh, I'd find that frustrating . . . I'm lucky I live in the part of my state that has high-bandwidth connectivity with a service provider that gives unlimited downloads & stuff . . .

Wow - Where are you that there are allowances, if I may ask . . . ?

I thought he looked familiar . . .

I usually don't play those types you mentioned, but I understand a lot of people do . . . It is nice to see a change of pace for all the folks who don't like Hidden Object/Adventure sorts . . .

I went into the file folder for the game in Program Files (x86) for Windows 7, & I noticed that there was a player profile file . . . I wonder if deleting that will erase the previous progress in the game, & allow you to start over . . . I know stuff like that works for other games . . .

That's right - I remember noticing that, now . . . You just start playing the game . . . I wonder if the game started out as a free-to-play type, & the developers forgot to add a profile field . . .

Have you tried with a new profile . . . ? That usually does the trick . . .

I thought I wouldn't like it, but it turned out to be fun . . . To make a 3-match, you replace a piece on the board with the one "in a hand" below the playing field . . . If you run out of moves, you replay in order to advance to the next level . . . After a number of rounds of match-3, you play a game of creating a garden, that is time-based . . . If you run out of time, you have the option of skipping, or replaying . . . A mostly fun game with cute graphics & stuff . . .

This is a pretty fun game . . . The puzzles aren't too difficult, & are mostly intuitive; & the art & animated characters are well done . . .

I just got an update for the game . . . I was wondering what was up with that . . . ?

Thanks for the information . . . !

Most of the time, I don't mind timers, but I'll pass on this game based on what you guys said . . . I won't even waste my time downloading it to try the 60 minute demo . . .

. . . & it seems to be working better for it, too . . .

I'm OK with Christmas games in January - the Eastern Rites celebrate Christmas on January 6 . . .

The game doesn't give you the option to use the system cursor, so I think a lot of people will experience trouble with the game cursor - even the one without the so-called "special effects" . . . I just allotted more system resources to the game, so the jerky movement was minimized . . .
