Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Been playing for years. No ads, no asking for money. Always satisfying.
We have played this game over and over hundreds of times. We never really get bored but Im wondering why they are so much harder than they used to be.
Ive played this game at least 50 times from start to finish. Its really an addictive. Our all time, time waster. Its a must for us in the morning and we usually play before bedtime. We literally love this game. Im still playing this game. Love it.
Have played them for yrs over and over.
Fun game with variety of puzzles plus matching games.
We love this game. It is addictive. We just wish there were more levels to it. Or a similar game that was free. Make no sense that the first version costs $ while the second version does not.
Excellent game, it is 2:30 am and we cannot put it down.
We played the original Cradle of Rome decades ago, before there were iPads and cell phones. This one is just as much fun, challenging and addictive without making you spend any money for coins or power ups or extra lives. And we havent seen any ads either! What could be better.
Great game to unwind with after a long day.
This game is much more enjoyable than cradle of Egypt. Challenging but you can advance unlike cradle of Egypt.
We even see it as we're trying to get to sleep! Way too much time spent in this game….need to get other things done.
Omg!! This game is so much fun. The puzzles are challenging and the matching games are fun.
Challenging but not too frustrating. On the third set and still going strong. No problems crashing or anything else. Great game.
Love this new game! It's easy but challenging.
We play this game over and over, just to keep ourselves occupied. We're never disappointed.
Love this game, great for getting your mind off work, and all the other crap life gives you! Keep it updated, and all is good.
A great game but. The introduction of the skulls and the inaccuracy of the bombs has made this game purely chance. Used to love it, now, not so much.
We would have given it five stars if it had a relaxed mode. Or, barring that, a way to pause when you have to step away from the game.
We've really enjoyed this game, so far. We have Cradle of Rome and played it frequently, although with some frustration. We found it quite difficult and would often quit because we couldn't advance. This game seems as much fun, but so far we've not had too much frustration, and have been able to advance quite quickly. We would enjoy this game more if it were not timed. An option to play either timed or relaxed would be nice. The graphics are beautiful but we have to turn the music way down. We do have difficulty identifying the matches and also have the same issue with Cradle of Rome. Haven't figured out why? The mini games are a nice diversion from match three and are really easy. Good job.
Just started having a great time play before and after work.
We really love it but our iPad keeps warning us that the version needs to be updated! Please update or we don't know what we'll do.
It's impossible to get beyond level two, there is no feature to ask for hints (towards the end of this level) when they are most needed … Hints are given early when they are not needed … And they are circular motions to highlight the few remaining pieces (if one gets to this point) that are not needed. We've come close several times … And have played multiple hours … Waste of time … We have better things to do with our life. Carol C (use our husband's a/c tp ourchase.
We really like this one. It's got all the good stuff the first one had, plus it adds a puzzle before getting each building you've win. While the puzzles are mostly easy, each level gets a little more difficult each time, but at an easy pace. The boosts are even better than the first Cradle, the colors and designs are definitely also a step up from the first, and it's a natural progression from Cradle 1 to 2. Really looking forward to playing Cradle of Egypt, and any other Cradle they come up with! Oh, yeah. The music's cooler too.
We have very few match 3 games that we really enjoy, this being one along with Cradle of Rome(the first) and Cradle of Egypt. Challenging and very fun..we love working towards the goals, great gameplay, very addicting. We hope to see more in this genre like a cor-pt 3 or coe pt. 2.
Like all of AWEM games, this is a fantastic Match 3. If you want a fun game, this one is for you! Please check out all of their games, we promise you won't be disappointed in any of them.
The matches come quickly. But are they the best match? Gives you something to think about, does it not? Play this game and have hours of fun. It may make you think before you match.
But just can't get thru last level. We refuse to pay to do so. So we just replay over and over again. Has any one ever finished this game without purchasing lives.
We are enjoying this on our iPad but it is frustrating to not be able to play the game to the final "statue" point like the computer version. It is frustrating to almost complete the final point and then have to start over. Please upgrade this version.
Needs an untimed mode for . Timed mode is very frustrating.
We've been playing it for five years and love it. We used to rate it five stars, but now it nags us for a review every time we play, and we already had written one. -4 stars for bugging us all the time.
Love this game by it needs more levels! Please.
Very addictive. Love it. It's simple but gradually becomes more difficult. Played many times.
Love this game. We play it over and over.
Challenging Match three game but not frustratingly undoable.
We've played this game countless times and we never get tired of it. It's our favorite! We highly recommend it.
Love playing this game! Great graphics.
Love playing this over and over.
Even the free part is good. The full game is great.
We have played this game a bazillion times. We love it.
The graphics in this game are gorgeous and the match 3 challenges cut you a break with bonus tokens just when you're ready to give it up for awhile. This is one game we play every day.
We really am very picky when it comes to rating apps. We got this game to give it a try and it is surprisingly good! We really enjoy playing it. The only reason we don't give it the 5 star rating is because the UI animations are not as fast as we would like. If you're not as harsh when it comes to rating, then by all means consider this app to be 5 star.
It's similar to most match 3 games, but has nice puzzles and beautiful scenery. Not sure it's worth the money. It's easy to run through all the levels in a short period of time. Then you can replay or buy more games.
We had been enjoying this variation of match 3, until this evening when we started the app and all of our progress was gone. We were nearly done with Power of Jupiter in Adventure mode; we only needed one more structure.
We really love this game but lately it closes during play. This is really frustrating. Hope the problem is fixed soon but we don't have much hope that it will be.
We like this one better than Cradle of Rome 1. It's challenging and has better power-ups. Great game.
Loved cradle of rome 1 and in love with cradle of rome 2. Wish there were more. Thanks.
Your basic Match Game. Really nice. We like building our city.
Keeps us up at night, just love the game!!! Can't stop playing.
We've been waiting for this game to come on the IOS system. We've been playing this game for a few years on our Nintendo & PC. It is so addicting, fun & challenging.
If you just want to stop thinking about the world's problems and have some challenging enjoyable activity, this is the app/game for you! Excellent graphics; intriguing variety and very challenging.
