pretty, relaxing
OK, so there are better match-3 games around but I always like ones with click/swap action, rather than chaining and pretty natural objects to swap. Also it was the perfect length. A good game to play while eating or talking on the phone!

A very relaxing match 3 game
This is very relaxing game. The game tells you what to do. You build houses, clear the forest to get wood etc. The graphics are great. I don't know if there is a time limit, I got through the levels with no trouble. I would recommed this game.

basic, no frills, lame and boring
I have games that are 5-6 years old that have better quality graphics than this game. There is no excuse for such a bad quality game these days. The boards are unimaginative, not challenging and confusing as to why I ran into hazards. The storyline may have some redeeming qualities in the end but I could only stand about 15 minutes of this before I quit.

Its OK for beginners
This game is OK for beginners at match 3 games, but provides little interest for anyone that has match 3 experience. Not much fun, tends to be slow moving and the challenges are, to say the least, sophomoric. I tried it but sure won't buy it. Not up the standard.

Match 3 Relaxation!
If you're looking for a classic Match 3 with plenty of soothing qualities this may be for you.
The forest graphics are lovely, the game play simple, the music very pleasant. You can lose the custom cursor which is always a plus for me and the play is traditional swapping. The only things I disliked were the fact that you can't continue swapping while tiles are falling and that the game play was just a tiny bit slow for my taste.
My review is based on only part of the demo hour so please try it for yourself.

WHILE AGREE WITH OTHERS ABOUT...
While I agree with others that the playing boards were 99% flat and colorless and objects at times difficult to differentiate from each other (i.e. shovels and pickaxes), I took on the mindset that such issues were good for the following reasons:
*I can better appreciate the higher quality of Match3 games that I play in the future and
*it's good eye exercise
With this type of mindset, I was able to enjoy playing and completing this game.
The 1 issue that I have to admit that I found confusing was the purpose of board objects being blacked out when certain set-ups came into play. The reason for the confusion is to its purpose; even with the board objects were blacked out, a gamer can STILL PLAY said objects as if they'd not been blacked out. Maybe it was done to provide a form of misperception as to the availability of said blacked-out objects?
I don't know but this game is VERY EASY to play as even "x" out objects became free within a moment or 2 without any matching efforts from the gamer and hence no need for any type of power-ups.

M3 with a story line
There is a back story that each game board is a task which you must accomplish to help restore the runes. You may be gathering stones and logs or cleaning snags from the waterway or collecting gems, gold, and silver meaning that the game boards have different icons to look at and match. Initially I was put off by the stones and logs because they were difficult for me to look at. It did get better. There are minor disasters in the boards which limit play and few bombs or power ups. I rarely played more than 3 levels before exiting but each time I returned. In several of the boards there are hidden things to find, meaning that matches have to be made over the grey boxes or that all boxes begin grey and matches clear the grey and the board is over when all of the hidden items, not necessarily all of the grey boxes, are found. That was different and I liked it except in the library when the icons are books which cover nearly all of the background; it is hard to tell which boxes are grey. Not a great game but a good solid one. Call it a 3.5.
