Can't hold a candle to other M3 games
Well, I've definitely played better.
The story is okay. It isn't terribly pretty graphics-wise and the music was awful.
It did explain what to gather, where everything on the screen was, how the power-ups worked and what level you were on, the time you had to complete it and that you had to turn the background squares to blue to finish the level.
You can drag the items or click, as you choose, but you do have to wait for the activity to stop before you can click on the next group. You have to be precise about your clicks and drags because the custom arrow is touchy. There have been many games with better movement and lovelier graphics that I would recommend before this one.
The one big disappointment is that the stuff you gather is automatically deducted from your bank for the building of the landmark you are working on but you never see the building. All you get is a page with a drawing of the landmark and some information about it. Very anticlimactic.

Not Quite a Dream Castle
Since I enjoy match 3 games and especialy those which let you build cities and the like I figured I was in for a treat with this game. Nope, not quite. The storyhas potential and collecting materials and gold is cool, but almost nothing was done with the possibilities. The match objects are tiny and the grid background isn't alway easy to see. There's no progress recorded for the building you're working on, only stats of how many matches, time, etc. but there's no feeling you've actually accomplished anything. The colors are dull sepia tones and the one power-up I earned during the demo was well drawn but fairly ineffective. I tried, really tried to like this game but there just isn't enough sparkle to hold interest very long. It's lots of potential which didn't fulfill its promise. I hope it'll be reissued sometime with more glamour, bells and whistles. Till then for me, it's a pass.

typical Match 3 game
I can only recommend this game for one reason---helps with some downtime after a busy day. Other than that there is room for much improvement and originality. Want to see some "WOW" factor in the next match 3 game offered!!

good old fashioned match3
I like this game because of it's simplicity. It is a match3 game. No puzzles, no HOG, only pure match3. They introduced some new things too: when the time is over you don't have to restart the level and won't lose any points. You can finish the level. The only difference is that you won't receive any more points after the time runs out.
Other thing is that if you finish the six levels given to gather the resources for the current building and don't have enough resources you have to play some more levels until you have the needed things.
Also these green test tubes are fun and withe those you can recharge your weapons.
Oh yes, and the quick challenge is a really good one but it only appeared at the end of the trial.. It pops up while you are playing and gives you some tasks and if you complete them you will receive some extra points.
I think it is a well made game and although not perfect, I think you should give it a try if you like match3 games.

Straight-up Match 3 Game
Although the gist of the "story" is that you are trying to gather materials to rebuild great works of architecture, there is nothing more to this game than making matches, with the occasional power up available for purchase or through matching test tubes. You don't actually get to see the buildings being restored as in some games of this nature, nor is there any actual purchasing of materials or using them. Just level after level of match-3 boards. If that is your cup of tea, you'll enjoy this. It was okay but I felt a bit let down.

not a very good match three game
I love match three games, but this was a big turn off for me.
The games are timed, but you have to wait for one move before doing another. You cannot drag a piece, so the constant click clicking for every move got very annoying.
The concept for the game was fine, but did not fill its potential.

How Many Times?
How Many Times Do You Game Developers Have To Be Told! We gamers demand the option of timed or relaxed mode!!! I appreciate the fact that some gamers like racing against the clock but I just don't play games to increase my stress levels! Life does that aplenty! In fact, Match 3 games never caught on UNTIL they started including relaxed mode! This is not a bad game. Resubmit it with that one change and it should sell well.

I'll pass on this one
No fun, no color, no point. The previous reviewers have eloquently explained this classic FAIL of a game. It was matching with no imperative, no urgency, no charm. I need charm in a game.

Boring
I couldn't even finish the hour's free play on this game. It was hard to concentrate on the moves and it was so slow to respond to the mouse. I found myself having to move the cursor over the pieces several times. There is no actual fun factor or story line, and altogether I find it very boring and uninteresting.

Great game anyway
I don't understand why people complain. A game should be fun, and it's definately a great one to fill your time. These nature force powers are interesting.
Gave 5 stars, because this game is FUN.
