The story is generally considered decent, featuring a basic plot about rebuilding a destroyed town and preparing for a villain's return, but lacks player choices, which diminishes engagement. While the narrative is pleasant and complements the gameplay, it primarily serves as a backdrop for casual match-3 puzzles rather than a compelling driving force. Overall, the music and graphics are appreciated, but the story does not significantly enhance the experience.
“The storyline is pleasant and not too intrusive, and the gameplay is enjoyable.”
“The story line is decent and the graphics are good.”
“The story is okay; a town was destroyed, we are rebuilding it and preparing for the return of the villain, but there are no choices to be made, so it isn't as engaging as it could be.”
“Includes a sketched story and a 3D village which don't really interest me, but I love the music.”
“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.”
