HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (0.0 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ First of all, do not spend any of your hard earned money on this game thinking it will help you adtvance…There is no advancing.
★★★★★ So, basically a waste of my money.
★★★★★ This game could be really good except that the makers went with the current trend and made the game too challenging so the only recourse is the “in-app” purchase of gems to keep the game moving which gets very expensive.
Worse after an update30%

Fun but

Its got a sound idea, fun to play as you get to assemble what you need through skill at match 3 and have an adventurewith a story and a setting ... the but for me besidres a glitch in running now and then is that the pace is too slow. I find myself with another game runnning on a different computer!

★★★★★Mar 4, 2024
Giving it a three

I like the game, but it can be a little costly, and some of the levels are a no win, forcing you to lose to try gain. every level should be winnable.

★★★★★Nov 13, 2021
Game has gone downhill

I used to enjoy killing time playing this game on my MAC. The last 2 updates have made the game almost unplayable with so many popups for side games that make it extremely unpleasant to play now. Guess it is time to pull it from the MAC.

★★★★★May 5, 2021
Can't give it 5

I played this game not long after it first came out, and had multiple issues with it and my operating system. I ended up deleting it. I returned about 2 months ago, and some of the problems that drove me nuts seem to have been fixed, but some are still there. Problems: 1) It takes way to long to regenerate energy, unless you are willing to fork over cash. 2) it takes too many rare items to finish the collections you need to advance, unless you are willing to fork over cash. 3) I tried to avail myself of one of their "sales" and fork over some cash, (are we seeing the pattern yet?) but the items did not appear even after 48 hours. I contacted tech support and got a bit of run-around telling me they didn't run that sale, my game data wasn't updating, keep my internet on (it was) blah blah blah. I had receipts to prove the sale existed. I ended up asking Apple to refund the money. Awem did try to make it up to me by sending me a lot of useful items (crystals, spells, etc.) but I am afraid to ever try to buy anything again. I don't like to spend money on virtual goods, so when I actually do, I want to receive what I bought. The gameplay is enjoyable, the story line (that went through an overhaul) is enjoyable, it's drawn beautifully, and the music is pleasant. I like the game, but it could be a huge money pit if I permitted. So, no 5th star.

★★★★★Apr 23, 2021
Great game but...

This is a fun game with lots of boards, extra games to play when you run out of lives, interesting storyline, and great graphics. Yes, actually collecting all the parts you need to progress, can be almost impossible. I've stopped worrying about that and just play until I run out of lives. Hey, it's free. I'd love to purchase the game outright - I own all the others - but AWEM has chosen a different path. Don't enjoy the pay to win concept. Just feels like cheating to me. Technical issues: I have to turn off internet connection when playing the game as my MacBook Pro runs painfully hot if I am connected. Also, whether or not I'm connected to the internet, I get an error message when I start and quit, every time I play.

★★★★★Mar 1, 2021
Great Fun

I've been playing this game for a year and the update has exceeded my expectations. The game has many varied matches and levels to earn bonuses. Highly recommend this game!
