starts out nicely. playing with a limited amount of moves gives nice strategic gameplay. Then after a few levels it changes to time limited play, and you cannot solve the puzzles without help, which you need to spend money on eventually (bombs and so on). Story is soso, with strange dialog that makes no sense to me, but that is secondary. The puzzles are good. But I quit after a month so, because I could not do the time limited levels.

Some of these puzzles are impossible to finish with so few moves. It becomes discouraging and frustrating, until it's finally no longer worth playing despite how cute the game is. Being older and on fixed income, I can't make purchases just to complete it, leaving puzzles unfinished. Too bad, because I actually liked the graphics, but I think I'm done getting frustrated and discouraged.
