Satisfying Match-3 game, where you follow a story line and rebuild a city. It really is worth following the story, because it's very good and sets this game apart from any other. Concerning the essences - what seems to work for me is to just continue to do the assignments, sooner or later you will get them. That seems to work better than trying to do the levels where they show you that you might get them - that never works for me. Anyway - I think this game is worth a try...

I LOVE this game! BUT... This is actually the second time I downloaded the game. the first time I got to a pretty high level, but was spending way too much money, and it was so hard that it just wasn't fun. This time I am pleased to see that they've made several changes that vastly improved the flow of the game. Unfortunately, the price was NOT one of the improvements! This game engages me enough that I wish you would offer a monthly pay option...unlimited gems for a monthly fee.

It's really good. You have to make matches to procure certain items to rebuild the city. Very engaging, I deleted farmvale for this. It's that good.
