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.

Game was especially good at drawing you in for a few hours, but as time went on, difficulty spikes started drawing you into purchases. It was good for a while. Better than average. But disappointing in the long run.
