The story is generally considered decent, revolving around the rebuilding of a town after its destruction and the looming return of a villain, but lacks player choices, which diminishes engagement.

- “Great game for the casual player who wants a little storyline to carry curiosity through many levels of match-3 and a handful of jigsaw puzzles.”
