5 STARS FOR CHALLENGE - FUN GAME
My review is for the whole game which is hours of game play as it took me 2 days, playing an hour or two here and there.
This game has 7 levels however there are levels within each level. Overall I would say close to 60 levels give or take a few as I kinda lost track. Some have more than others.
This is also a timed game which I LOVE and prefer. I like to be under pressure while playing. Racing against the clock. There is no relaxed mode without a timer so some may not care for this game because of that.
The game here starts you off with 3 lives which you do have a chance to earn more as I earned as many as 10. You also get points. The quicker you finish the more points. If you do lose all your lives, you also lose all your points and it will take you back to the beginning of the level. For example if you make it to Level 7-5 but lose, the game will take you back to 7-1.
What you are doing in this match 3 game is clearing a path for Jane (the lady character here) to collect pieces to items which will also show you up at the top how much you have completed. Once you hit 100% you've completed that level.
You also gather "tools" so you can make your way to the next board such as: keys to open doors, buckets of water to put out fire, bridges, water rafts to get across the water, ladders, drills to break down the walls, and torches to remove cob webs. You also have to gather these again for the next level as they don't carry over. There are however power us to help you clear the path: hammers and lighting that you can collect along the way which these do go to the next level what you haven't used I had as many as 20 hammers and 15 lighting.
For me while this game is really fun wasn't very challenging however I did feel it getting a little more challenging as I moved along but not until I got to level 7 and then I had to really start using the hammers and lighting. I did end up losing all my 10 lives and I also had close to 500,000 points so I just started over from the very beginning and made it through the whole game with 10 hammers and 1 lighting, 537,000 points with 4 lives left. As once again I had 10 lives until I got to this level 7 then lost some. I'm usually an "expert" when it comes to match 3 games such as this with the timers but I did get hung up on this level 7. I found this to be VERY challenging. You really have to pay attention which way Jane is going to move along in this game.
Oh also every so often and if memory serves me right there are about 5 puzzles that you put together as you can use them as screen savers.
The one and only thing I didn't much care about this game but not enough to bring the rating down, I didn't really understand the need for the points as you don't buy anything like in some match 3 games.
Overall I still give this 5 stars. The game here has very nice graphics. I also loved the character Jane and collecting the tools to get through the maze to go to the next board.
As for recommending: if you are looking for a good game that is timed and with some challenge I recommend this but if you don't care for timer, I don't much think you will care for this game but as always try it out for yourself. You just may be surprised and end up liking it.
Thanks for a GREAT game Big Fish! Especially for $2.99 as I purchased this the Daily Deal and what a "deal" it is.

Good Time Killer
Not one of the most challenging games, but good for those people who are looking for some time to kill without stretching their brain cells.

one of the best
the only complaint i have about this there is not a lot of extra lives also nothing for large combinations like letting the timer freeze for say 30 seconds but other than that it is a very good game

Boring Game
Idiotic little character with maniacal laugh is irritating. Music is also irritating and repetitive. Graphics not great. Minimal story. Same old match 3 patterns throughout. No choice on timed vs not timed. Would not buy this game.

LOVED IT!
Based on Demo:
This was a fun adventure/match 3/puzzle gameThe storyline is girl chasing after father chasing after shangri-La.
You not only have to match 3, you have to do it along a path, gather tools , gather extras, and you get a puzzle or so at end.
At first seems easy, but as you go along the challenges build up & it was really a nice gane & fun & time just went to quickly

Awesome Game
This is almost like El Dorado game, you have to match 3 or more pieces for the character to move, as I`m writing this I only see one character(unlike El Dorado which sometimes has 2 characters).

Fast becoming a favourite!
I bought this game only recently, having played El Dorado Quest (from the same developers) for a couple of years. This one is better than EDQ because the imagery is so much more positive. Love all the Buddhas, landscapes etc.
The graphics are very simple and not very clever but for me, the imagery and game play more than make up for that.
I can see that this one is going to become a regular relaxation for me.
