I really enjoy the 3-D effect this game offers. The 3d movable board, the time and bonus power ups in play, special object tiles, the unlock the levels and compete for stars, the incentive to finish your picture portrait and also to get extra objects added to it. It has a lot of variables to keep your interest. I'm recommending this game to those who like a challenge because both timed and untimed will give you this. They do have clock power ups that will give you extra time if you can uncover them before time on it runs out or else it Is zero, what a bummer. If they only had an option to turn on or off the clock for some levels you find difficult to pass it would of been great. I wish they had an easy and normal timed mode because I'm stuck in the Egyptian layout. You will not move on unless you are quick. You will compete for stars in score and also try to beat the clock. It gives you a challenge to try to get 3 stars so you can unlock the extra objects that will go into completion of your portrait. I liked the strategy of trying to uncover these special tiles to give bonus points instead of mindless matching, like some other mahjong games that offer no objective but to complete layout.

Object tiles are similar to gold tiles in mahjong and will end layout in final puzzle plus will give you extra points for tiles. You should try to get the object tiles first to score bigger. I think you can meet the score of at least one star no matter how long you take. So it does give you some challenge but still not a rush, rush. You will have time to plan out strategy to get successive combos with same match or quick play to get multiple score. It goes by score how many stars you will get. In untimed mode you strive for up to 3 stars on the level. So the PLAY button really is the Timed Button. You cannot switch back and forth because the games are separate. Click only the untimed button and it will start new game without the clock. I found out later in order to get untimed DO NOT PRESS PLAY, that IS the timed mode. So when I pushed play I was surprised it had a timer and I wondered what the heck. At first I was confused about the untimed button that seemed always ON. Press the untimed mode not Play This game is very challenging with the time mode so I'm glad it has an untimed option.
