Have you played it yet?

I'm playing the demo right now. It's fun. Starts off with a HOG scene similar to Mortimer Beckett (i.e, find different pieces, use those objects) and then goes on to the match 3. The match 3 part (at least in the first match 3 level -- earth) is similar to the chain type play in one of the temples in the Ancient Quest of Saqqarah. So you make chains with existing tiles rather than swapping. So far I like it a lot.

I think I'm going to get this one.

I bought this one. I have played the first book. It's a relaxing match 3, although you don't switch the "stones", you just match three or more of the same color. You are trying to get water to the tree by making a path with the matches clearing out the path. There are some power-up like a shovel, bomb, and a one time switching stone. It had a occasional find the difference with only four differences, but they were a little hard to spot. There was a hint button, but didn't have to use it. It did start with a HOG type to start the story. I think the match three part was timed, but I never had to worry about it, at least on the first book. The graphics with the arrows being set off when the water hit it was pretty cool. So unless the timer becomes an issue later in the game during the match three part, it seems to be a nice relaxing game with less stress than other casual games.

This one reminds me of "Jewels of Cleopatra" with the twist of HOG included. Very nice addition. I am playing the 1 hours testdrive and so far am pleased with what I see. Clever little Fairy to lead you on the journey. Thanks for the push to take a look at it. I would have otherwise passed it up.

Yes, the match 3 part isn't the most difficult but it is relaxing and interesting the way the energy flows. I like this game a lot.

Cherie, I'll have to check out Jewels of Cleopatra as well.

Misa, I had to laugh. I take it you haven't gotten to the end yet. I just about pulled my hair out on a few there at the end.

Enjoy! It was a fun game.

Oh no, I've only played for about an hour. I have a habit of playing a little, buying a game and then shelving it while I finish others.

I gues nobody has reached the end of the last book then?
I guess I am going to pull my hair out then..............

It is basically a match 3 game with spot the difference in between which was just what I needed in between the adventure games for a break but level 64 is different and I haven't got a clue what I'm supposed to do. There are no hints that I can find, no bombs, swaps etc and no way of getting them. I bought it from Spintop Games a new one out I think.Just though it was worth asking on the offchance.

Sorry didn't check for other posts on this subject first.

I am not there yet, I have two more sections on the last book to go. But Gamezebo has a forum for this game, and some people were discussing it and have got it finished. Try this and see if it helps you There is a couple of references to level 64.

Good Luck on it! I will probably need it soon, I am coming up on that level.

Finished game I posted on Gamezebo how to do the end as did one or two others on that link. Level 63 and 64 start out like you have to beat the flow that they are doing as it moves right. The rest of both levels are pretty much the same. Seems to be a slower timer in the last level. Good luck!

I am not usually into the match 3 games swapping the jewels etc. However I bought element 4 and find it quite delightful to watch the beautiful graphics.

This game is different because we only build chains not swap gems, unless you count that special bonus. The fairy is so cute she says words of comfort when we lose and encourages us to try again.

The only other match 3 I have bought is Puzzle quest which I found most delightful to fight the monsters and dress up my character in the best armor.

If there are other match 3 that you think I may like that fits the requirement of beautiful graphics or like puzzle quest, please will you recommend them? I am expanding my horizon when it comes to trying something new.

Sherryah, have you tried Ancient Quest of Saqqarah? There are several different types of match 3 depending on which temple you're in.

Gamezebo's review gave it 5 stars (wow!) and players gave it 4.5 stars.

This is the game that got me a bit hooked on match 3 which I wasn't really interested in before.
