Review:

Enchanted Cavern is a beautiful puzzle game. Vivid colors, calming music, and a fun challenge augment my view of it.

For game play, you have a simple puzzle of clearing three same-color stones to brighten the darkened tiles. As the game goes on, you'll find yourself with a new challenge each level. After every 3-4 levels, there's a "logic" level, in which you would have to clear every stone. Also featured for a game like this, it gives you a time penalty if you click randomly too many times, preventing players from randomly clicking everywhere on the level.

Musically, the game gives a calming feel to the puzzle, accenting upon the "magical" part of this puzzle. Although the soundtrack seems a bit limited, it doesn't get redundant or annoying.

Graphically, everything runs smoothly. The colors and textures are quite easy on the eyes, and allows you to keep your attention focused upon the puzzle, with occasional flashes to notify you of a cluster of stones, or any part of the puzzle you've missed.

In terms of help and tutorials, a window usually pops up on a level where something new comes up. Easy to read, and for more experienced players, you can hide the tips.

Conclusion:

Enchanted Cavern is fun to play, and very enjoyable for puzzle gamers of all ages.
