We thought it would be fun to review some of the casual games we currently have available in our JA Casual Game Center. Needless to say, these games are very addictive and while our enthusiastic reviews are, for the most part short, the time spent playing these games is not. Once you have read the review, drop by the JA Casual Game Center and download a free trial version of the game for yourself, but remember - you have been warned!

Players take on the role of Lily, who is tasked with ridding her village of an evil curse. This is accomplished by solving Match-3 puzzles filled with colorful flowers. The game has 70 levels and is playable in three modes: Relax, Classic and Duel.

In Relax mode, this puppy is the most soothing casual game I've ever played. The effect is due in no small part to the game's music, which is wonderful (as are the sound effects). There are also no time constraints in this mode, leaving players free to luxuriate in the game's ambience without having to rush. Ahhhhh...

As some of you may know, I generally don't get along too well with Match-3 games. Rainbow Mystery is a most welcome exception. It's a wonderful game, and I truly enjoyed playing it!
