I enjoyed the trial hour very much. No surprise since [b]Lost in Reefs[/b] by the same developers is one of my favorite M-3's. Beautiful graphics, 3 modes of play (swap without having to click the 2nd tile :thumbup: , chain, and group). There are several powerups which you earn as you make matches. The Shuffle button fills fairly quickly also as you make matches. As you earn points, you can "build" your village. It's simplistic, with no choices other than to keep upgrading til complete. That said, it's a nice little break from the M-3. To my mind, it's beautiful in a whimsical fairytale way. There is a choice of Timed or Relaxed which you can easily change. There are several trophies too. I didn't try the mini-game more than once since I was in the trial, so I wonder if the Snail Race is purely a matter of chance and intended just to be an extra little relaxation. Although there is a trophy for it too, so of course I'll do it often enough to win that one. :D I played the trial in Timed mode so I learned how the game warns you that you are nearly out of time. It's a nice chime tone :thumbup: , rather than the heart-beat thump which made me so nervous in Cradle of Rome and Cradle of Egypt. Still, even though it's a gentle warning, I'll likely play more of it Untimed. I had a PCC expiring ini 4 days, so snapped up this beautiful relaxing game today.

This is a darling little game full of beautiful artwork and bright colors. It can be played in relaxed or untimed modes and in swap, chain or group M3 play. With the coins earned you purchase the accoutrement of a fairy-like town. So charming and playful. There are plenty of power-ups to be earned but I didn't really have a need for them in the demo I played. It's a game simple enough for children and appealing enough for a young-at-heart adult. There is a lively tune that I kept at a low level and, even though repetitive, it didn't get on my nerves. I purchased the game as I found it to be quite relaxing and enjoyable. I definitely recommend you try it out for yourself.

I love this game. The graphics are great, easy to see what they are and the music is nice and peppy and each game is a different type of match three and building your village is really neat because the graphics are fantastic. I bought this one right off. I cannot say enough about this game..THANKS BIG FISH

This is a lovely, joyful game. The graphics reminded me of favorite coloring books I had as a kid. The tiles move very well, letting me do multiple hits as matched tiles blew up. Money accumulates easily so building can be done quickly. I really exjoyed the game boards changing from square tiles to hexagons. The tile designs were lovely. If I was going to make one change it would be to make the boards larger, not more tiles, just easier to see.

I never did a review on any game but this game got it for me purely for the visual look! It might seem a bit bland with just unlocking new levels and building a small town, but the icons for the matches plus the background is what made it for me. Would not have bought it otherwise.

I think this is a fun and cute game to play if you are looking for something to play just for a little while as you build yourself a nice little town. I enjoyed the music, it is a catchy little tune.

After only a few minutes of gameplay I'm buying this game. The graphics are GORGEOUS!!! Even the M3 pieces are pretty!! After so many dark games this is such a nice change of pace. You can play timed or not, music is good. I highly recommend this game!!

This is an addictive game, with pretty graphics. In fact, you can think of it as three M3 games in one, because each mode has its own set of levels and interesting layouts. The modes are swap, group and chain and you can change modes whenever you feel like it. Each new mode you enter will take you back to level 1 and new layouts, although the building element stays the same, e.g. if you have already built a few buildings in one mode you still attain the same building level. The buildings are pretty and fairy-like, and can be upgraded. Once fully upgraded, a new building becomes available. Great value for money and strong replayability.

If you have played other games from this developer, such as Lost in Reefs, you will recognize the style, but this new one is improved with better graphics and a tighter feel. The signature "gummi candy" look is subtler. It may seem like "just another match-3" during the trial, but it gets plenty hard and has some unique feartures, such as the ability to collect power-ups in two different ways (plus find hidden power-ups on the board). The randomization of square and hex cells makes the game more interesting than most. The ability to choose three game modes (swap, group, or chain) gives the game replay value. I agree that buiding the town is rather rote, but few games offer a creative building option (Heroes of Kalevala is probably the best one). I've enjoyed replaying Lost in Reefs and related games over the years, and I believe Lost in Night will be like that.

I'm in my late 50's, married, the mother of 17 children, my 16th grandchild was just born 2 days ago with my 17th grandchild due in 3 months. I play computer games to relax after spending another day of cleaning our large home, talking to our grown children & our grandchildren on the phone, running errands, doing laundry, and much more. This is what I call an ideal Match 3 game. There is a variety of ways you can match the items which I like. This is a very easy game, very relaxing, and very enjoyable. With the money that you earn on each level, you buy a pumpkin patch, a cottage, a beehive & much more then upgrade each item. At the bottom of your screen you will see how many upgrades are available for each upgrade. There really is no time management involved that I like. The graphics are rather cute and colorful. I think my grandchildren would really enjoy these graphics. This is a game for all ages. My 14 month old granddaughter, for example, doesn't have the coordination to operate the mouse but with an older child or adult operating the mouse, my 14 month old granddaughter points to where each object should be moved to. For me, this is a must own game. I love it. For an old lady like me to enjoy a game, that's saying something.
