Wendy, I don't like playing hopas on my iPad either. And ditto about Kiss of Death. It was too easy,disappointingly so.
I haven't bought the new Puppetshow as of yet, I think I have the one prior to it to play. I did start Nevertales Smoke and Mirrors last night and I'm enjoying it. A really beautiful game. I don't know if the puzzles are just easy because of all the practice or they've simplified them in most of the games I've played recently. It just seems like one or two moves and off you go.

I finished Cadenza: Kiss of Death. I liked it, I thought the story was exciting. I felt like I was playing a book, a real page turner. Just like when you are engrossed in a book and keep reading to see what is coming up next, is the way I felt about this game. It gameplay terms it was very linear and rather easy.
I babysat for my niece the past two days. I bought La Casa De Dora for her when she was 3. Now at age 5, I think, she is on the outside limit for that game, so I told her about a horse game that I demo'd and still had about 35 minutes left. So she tried it and loved it and at the end of the demo was disappointed that she couldn't play anymore, so I ended up getting Planet Horse with a pcc yesterday. What little girl doesn't like riding a horse.

I finished the main game of Cadenza Kiss of Death. It seemed really short and there were several parts of the gameplay I didn't care for. I do like that they kept the African American characters, it adds realism and is a breath of fresh air to me.
I've played some more of Runefall but it's not what I like. If you play in timed mode you can't explore the whole board and achieve the bonus goals. It takes forever to explore the whole board and make sure you found everything, like almost an hour. There's no save feature so if you have to leave partway through a board you either have to lose all progress or Alt-Tab out of it and leave it running.
I hate the hint in the Awakening games. It doesn't tell you where to go, it just kinda restates your goals, well I know what my goal is but I don't know where the piece is that I need to accomplish it, why won't you point me in the right direction? Very frustrating. I can't remember if I'm still playing Moonfell or if I'm stuck and can't do anything. Good reason to get the CE with the Strategy Guide, lol.
I also started Island Tribe 2, they still have a casual mode but they also put in a timer mode so I'm much happier.

wendy - there are walkthrough for all the Awakening games on BF. You need to click on Community to find them.
I finished the main game of Goblin Kingdom, now working on the bonus chapter. Then I think I'll replay SKyward Castle, only this time take notes rather than relying on my memory. I'm going to restart AK on Monday.
Did another 10 levels of Mosaic: Game of Gods.

The last half of the month I have finished Myths of the World: Stolen Spring, which I enjoyed but not as much as the first one. Only had the SE and the story line was just so so, but will continue the series next month. Also finished Dark Parables: Curse of Briar Rose ~ I have started this once or twice but never stuck with it but this time decided to play all way through. Beautiful graphics and although there was a lot of B/F, I really liked it. Want to continue this series, too.
In the last two days, I have finished Veronica Rivers: Portals to the Unknown which I forced myself to finish since I was so close to the end. Could only play off and on as it was so repetitious and boring and maybe back in 2008 it was innovative but I was so glad to get it off my computer. Finished Haunted Hotel II: Believe the Lies today and it was really short. Looked at the Forum thread and saw that there were lots of people really ticked off about how short it was. I enjoyed it and for a change was glad to have a short game. The first HH would not save for me and got a coupon so glad this one was ok.
Started Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen CE yesterday and since my work is mostly done on my other forum's 2-month challenge (new one starts June 1), I think I will just play my games this weekend.

Have they been having bonus punches every Monday? Have they ever had that double bonus punch again? I have PCCs expiring the 19th, don't know if I should use them now, there's only two more Mondays before then. I have 5 of them so I will need to borrow one if someone doesn't give me another before then. I got the newest Fear for Sale today, I also want The Reflections SE and Dark Romance. I think I better get those today and then I'll be waiting on a few CEs to release as SEs. I want Avalon Solitaire, too, but I can get that with a credit at GH.
I've been playing Braveland with Funpass. It's a really basic RPG, with extremely minimal instructions, you have no idea how many hit points you or the enemy has. That was what I did yesterday, don't know if I'll finish it because I like a little more Depth to my RPGs and I wasn't really enjoying it.
Okay, I just went and got Reflections and Dark Romance, now I need 3 punches and I have 2 PCCs and a couple weeks, they will have another BPM, right?

I finished up Nevertales Smoke and Mirrors last night. I enjoyed it. I've like the whole series. Tonight I get to pick a new game, always fun. But I am spoiled for choice. I have completed 51 games this year, but I've bought 52! so no progress there.

I've spent some time playing Jigsaws Galore while listening to radio plays on the BBC the past couple of days (Brideshead Revisited and To Serve Them All My Days).
I also finished 137 of the 150 levels in Mosaic: Game of Gods.
And I'm half way through The Skyward Castle. Started replaying Awakening Kingdoms today.
I also had left a message on the BoomZap forums asking for some info about how they had planned to wrap up that game. Got some info about what had been planned for next update that never materialized.
A few people had been asking BZ why they didn't give their games to another developer to finish. Years ago, on eof the co-owners had said that BF owned the intellectual properties and they (BZ) just developed the games. BZ's spokeswoman reiterated that, gave some plot info for AK, and then said something rather cryptic about not being able to discuss unannounced titiles.
Maybe I'm reading more into what she said than is really there, but it's possible that she was hinting that some of the titles WILL be developed by another company. I'm guessing that BZ has some input into the process and will receive some sort of credit and/or compensation if another developer takes over any of the series.
I don't think anybody will be taking over the free-to-plays, however, because to do so, they would need the code, and that belongs to BZ. They would also need to have the same game engine that BZ has. And those games, especially ART, are buggy and not likely to make money as they are presently structured.

Tirama -- Can you share what BZ said about what they had planned for the next update to AK?
I finished ZERO games in May. But I didn't buy any games either.

I'll post it in the AK thread.
Eddited to add:
somebody else had asked if BZ could tell how Otherworld and Emberwing, would have ended, and where the next Dana Knighstone would have taken place. This is the answer that makes me think it's possible that another developer may tak over some of the games:
Like you mentioned, this game as well as all of our HOPAs are the intellectual properties of Big Fish Games. There are several factors beyond Boomzap's control, thus we are unable to accommodate your requests and answer your other questions, especially regarding unannounced titles. As much as we would like to help, game support is now being handled by the BFG Customer Service team and it would be best to direct your queries to them. My sincerest apologies.
