This game was gifted to me after the summer sale by a Steam angel, and I've been having quite a bit of fun with it. The puzzles themselves are short, which definitely feeds into "just one more turn" syndrome. The music is pretty stellar, and the puzzle mechanic itself is fairly neat and easy to grasp.

However, there are some downsides, but none of them are very severe. The art style is mediocre, the RPG-esque options (on hero level up) are very limited, the story is awful (but who comes to a puzzle game for the story), and the game in general gives you the feeling that it just isn't challenging enough. Compared to other matching games (Bejeweled, or even Puzzle Pirates), there just seems to be very little depth. That being said, this is still a great timesink puzzle in its own right, and I've been finding I leave it open in a window while browsing or watching YouTube and switching back over to run through a puzzle. Definitely a great gift -- I wouldn't say it's worth full price though. Thankfully, it goes on sale reasonably often for very low prices, so just be patient and hop on it the next time it's discounted.
