I started playing this game a long time ago and absolutely loved it because there were no stupid match 3 type levels what so ever. This most recent update added them though and the event have gotten way out of hand. It's not enjoyable anymore, full of event pop ups, and I get stuck on levels for far too long now thanks to the match 3. The hard hidden picture levels were a fun challenge that could always be done eventually and boosts were easy to get. I'm may as well slog through homescapes now.

I used to love this game. The new update is horrible - I played this game because it was NOT a match 3. Now I feel like half the levels are match 3. It's fine to do those as bonus levels or special events or something, but not regular levels. As others have said, it's also way too easy now. Yes the levels used to be hard but at least it was interesting, and there were opportunities for bonuses that could help you advance. Sadly, I will probably uninstall what used to be a favorite game.

Game had a lot going for it. Many different mini events to play, along with a story that was good. The only problem I had was connecting 3 matching colors, using a rocket or bomb the square or squares sometimes didn't change to green. When a certain amount green spaces were required I couldn't pass the level. So I gave up and deleted the game. Bug in the game?

Was fun to play, but got sick of getting stuck on the "super hard levels" that were almost impossible to impossible to beat. They made it to where you almost beat a level, but end up needing a few more moves to beat it. That forces you to have to purchase coins or lives just to beat one level, so you end up having to spend actual money. I did it a few times, but it started becoming more and more frequent until I just uninstalled the game.

I loved this game. It was my favorite of all the games I played each day - good stories, nice variety of puzzles, interesting characters, and fun! But I had to uninstall it, because it was costing me a fortune - about $20 EVERY DAY! Why? Because later games simply could not be completed with the given number of moves - even using all the boosters.

This began as one of my favorite scavenger games, then they added some tile games. Next, it became entirely a tile game. I made it through the entire first island in the story line and stopped because then they added in a maze that requires exponentially more levels be passed to move forward on the next island. Finally, the worst part, after a few hundred levels, you must spend money to pass levels.

Yes, this game gives you a few very weak, very simple puzzles. Yet what it all boils down to is another Match 3. These games start out very fun and rewarding but quickly advance to the point where it requires money to progress forward. Not game coins, your coins. That's when I uninstall. What I have learned is that no matter how much you spend, it doesn't get any better, only worse as you continue.

Great to start and play for bit. Graphics and story line are good, and gameolay is simple enough for kids. HOWEVER, after you get invested in the story and making some quick progress up to about Level 80 or so of the Match-3, it deteriorates very rapidly to a pay-to-play/pay-to-win exercise in FRUSTRATUON, requiring frequent use of bonus power-ups, which are awarded at a much lower rate at the higher levels... unless you spend real $$. Uninstalled it after less than a week.

I used to love this game so much. There are so many games with the swapping bubble shape things in order to fix up a house. I don't like that kind of game. This was the ONE game that had a different option for how to fix the house. I love mystery games and the original game on here was absolutely amazing. I was a huge fan and was addicted to this game. Now I am super mad that they changed it like this and it forces me to play the swapping bubble game instead. Might delete it despite loving it.

Unfortunately this is your typical predatory match three game. They use all the psychological tricks in the book to maximize profit. Slowly ramp up the difficulty and points required to progress to the point where it becomes impossible to pass certain levels without power ups. Power ups that of course require absurd amounts of money to buy. Fail a level? No problem, we are going to put in random buttons that you can accidentally click on and trick you into using power ups you have acquired

This used to be one of my favorite games. Now it is awful since they integrated very boring match 3. It used to be the best hidden objects game out there! Now you are forced to play numerous, BORING match 3 games to get to one unchallenging hidden objects scene. They also cut out a lot of great hidden objects scenes, so it's now the same 3 scenes over and over again. It sucks now! I totally hate it! Give players the option of not having to play match 3! Only want hidden objects like it was!

Played this game back before they installed the match 3 nonsense, and liked it a lot better than now. Its not helped by the fact that the game now freezes on my phone during a cutscene of trying to unmask Corvus, and won't let me reset back to an earlier point or even skip the cutscene. The match 3 games are the typical nonsense of becoming difficult to the point of needing power ups, which they never give you enough of, in attempts to get at your wallet. Had promise, lost it. Avoid the game.

One star for how frustratingly hard the levels get without purchasing power-ups. I never pay $ for stuff like that. It would be INSANE TO PAY $$$. I might as well light a fire with a stack of cash! I'd rather purchase a game for 4.99. And that's what I'm looking for next. These "free" match 3 games are ridiculous. Nice animation but super stressful.

The graphics are great. Its hard but not too hard. The upgrade added a daily bonus which I like. Good Job! Just because it's hard doesn't make it bad. Some of us need a challenge that other similar games don't provide. I don't purchase a lot of extras, I just keep playing till I beat the level. I'm not looking for a quick "win" Just an update. I chose this game because it was a hidden picture game. It was great. Now I'm on level 1314, all I have been getting is match games. Will probably delete

This game has multiple parts to it and overall could be a great game, no ads! So why didn't I give higher rating? They seem to think impossible levels are fun and will leave you on one for weeks at a time, so that you cannot earn things you need for other parts of the game. Eventually, they will let you win as long as you have a lot of patience. To me that isn't fun!! You should never be stuck for more than 2-3 days max, NOT 2-3 weeks!!! If it weren't for getting stuck, as I said, great game.

I used to play this game when it was just a hidden objects game. I've played the hell out of it for years, took a little break and came back to find they totally changed the entire game. Now most of the levels are a matching game. If i wanted to play candy crush, i would've downloaded it! Really, really disappointing and not worth playing anymore.

It could be so much more fun, but the big problem is that the puzzles quickly become too difficult to complete without spending real currency. I understand that these games often rely on microtransactions, but making the game impossible to finish unless the user spends real money is terrible. So, unfortunately, this game is just another cash-grab like so many others. It's such a shame, because I was enjoying this game until the supposed "Easy" challenges became too difficult to complete.
