Very happy to have gotten this
I've played this game quite a few times now and I'm really enjoying it. I really like how you collect gold coins by setting high scores which then enables you to buy/unlock new games. The selection of unlocked games that is given at the start is very good, I think about 10 in total. After playing them all once I've been able to buy several new games, without struggling for coins, yet. The further you proceed the higher the cost is of each game :).
The difficulty of each games varies, some games I've been able to complete first attempt, as there is required score for each game in order for it be classified as cleared. However if you clear a game you can still go back and play it and earn coins for the scores you get. Also if you are unable to get the required score to clear the game, you still get coins for the score that you managed. On the other hand, I've attempted some games several times and still haven't reached the required score ;).
I've played so far about 25 of the games, and for all of them I've only had to use the stylus, so I'm assuming it's purely a stylus based game. For each of the games which I've played, there is an instructions button before playing, which is very useful. The instructions have been nice, clear and obvious :D.
The graphics of the game is very nicely put together. Also the game offers 6 languages, English, German, Spanish Italian, French and (I think) Dutch. I think if you like short fun games then you'll probably quite like this (each individual game is around 2 minutes), I think it's something which both kids and adults will have fun playing. :D
Very nice game
These are timed games of skill, mostly lasting one minute. A few of the games, such as Sudoku and a slider puzzle, aren't timed. You start off with only 10 games that are unlocked and then have to unlock other games with points you've earned. It's not hard to earn points - all points are kept, even if you don't make it thru the game. And the first time you make it thru a game with a predetermined minimum number of points, you get a huge number of bonus points.
I unlocked half of the games on the first day, and if they're an indication of what's to come, then this is a terrific game, even tho a few games don't respond well to the movement of the stylus. The graphics are superb. This is much, much better than the DS game OMG. The reason I only gave it four stars was because the background music can't be separated from the sound effects. I never play the background music in games, and this one is particularly irritating. So I have to play the game with the sound turned off, with no sound effects.

I am very disappointed with this game. You can only play 4 or 5 games to begin with. In order to play any of the other games, you need to get a certain score on each of these games and it will open up 4 or 5 more. Since this is the way it is, it should have told you before you bought it. I could not get the high scores so I had my daughter-in-law and my grandchildren try it. They got through the first 5 games, but could not get the next ones. They are experienced game players. This is just too hard.
