Take it from me folks, this is a really fun Match 3 game the entire family can enjoy.

Take it from me folks, this is a really fun Match 3 game the entire family can enjoy. Atlantic's favorite heroes have returned to rebuild an underwater oasis, which can be played in all three types of Match 3 games. You can even switch back and forth between the traditional Swap Match 3, Chain or Group Match 3 where you click and drag horizontally, vertically and diagonally, or click on groups of 3 or more identical tiles.

The goal is to make matches over all Sand covered tiles and heal all fish that are inside bubbles by matching those tiles. You can earn up to 3 stars depending on the time it takes you to complete the level goals. You earn pearls for each level that is used to purchase new houses, Fisherman's Huts, Forges and even Farms. Some of the buildings you purchased have a Mini Game available when you click on them such as locating 10 hidden fish, or finding fragments to assemble a power-up bonus.

Some sand tiles are covered in Moss, requiring two matches on them, and as you progress, there are Oil filled tiles and Lava tiles that will spread or multiply if you don't make matches on them quickly. There are the usual obstructed tiles with Chains, Stones, and Crates, which require matches made next to them or matches made of the same item trapped inside.

When you make a match of 4 or more Tentacles, you will earn an Octopus Bomb which will explode when clicked, to destroy surrounding tiles. Other power-ups are unlocked when you collect their symbols by dropping them off of the board. The Hammerhead can destroy a single tile of your choice, the Bow shoots an arrow to destroy an entire row, Blowfish Bombs destroy all tiles in a square area, and the Laser Gun shoots lightning bolts to destroy random tiles.

Fish in Bubbles are replaced occasionally wit Hard Cases that need special elements to heal them by matching 4 objects inside orange bubbles, Zombie Fish are aggressive fish that will need to be released quickly or they will pollute the water, and then there are the Major Problem Fish that require several Match 4's to heal them.

This is one of those games that you'll want to play over and over, and with 96 available levels, it should be a decent length, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I love these type of games when you need a break from gloom and doom and just want to have fun. Loved the previous Atlantic Quests and jumped at getting this one. The graphics are good, music isn't intrusive and love Sparky and the gang.

Downside: Have to agree with another reviewer re the window mode. I like to play in that mode myself so I have my start icons up so I can check E mails. ...Show more

I love these type of games when you need a break from gloom and doom and just want to have fun. Loved the previous Atlantic Quests and jumped at getting this one. The graphics are good, music isn't intrusive and love Sparky and the gang.

Downside: Have to agree with another reviewer re the window mode. I like to play in that mode myself so I have my start icons up so I can check E mails. Screen in window is very small so play in full screen which really isn't that big of a deal and certainly doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the game.

Some changes on this one where instead of just match three and breaking the fish bubbles you can accumulate pearls to purchase buildings which is a nice change.

Here's hoping for an Atlantic Quest 4. Show less

LOVING THIS 5 STAR LITTLE GEM. VISUALS ARE EXCELLENT WITH THE NICEST MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND. I'M ON LEVEL 12 AND IT'S GETTING A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW CHALLENGING ARE THE REST OF THESE PUZZLES... I TRULY RECOMMEND EVERY MATCH 3 LOVERS TO TRY THIS GAME.

I could hardly wait to jump into this sweet fishy world. What a joy to find another Atlantic Quest game after such a long wait. I have no doubt it will be as much fun, if not more, than our last one. It has always been one of my most loved Match 3s. Rebuilding their little city is only half the fun. It isn't just your common, every day type Match 3. It has lots of extra goodies to enhance your play time. And more extras have been added.
Don't pass this one up folks! It is one of the best Match 3s in the Big Fish inventory. It will appeal all Match 3 lovers, I think, of all ages and has tremendous replay value, not to mention all the great levels. You won't be disappointed! Definitely 100 stars!!

God Bless.... Show less

Incredibly poor dialogue, incredibly fun to play M3! Came here to buy as soon as I finished the demo. A choice between three different ways to play and near the end of the demo it became challenging for me to complete the board quick enough to earn all three stars in the more usual swap and match mode I played in.

A choice between three different ways to play and near the end of the demo it became challenging for me to complete the board quick enough to earn all three stars in the more usual swap and match mode I played in. I do enjoy some challenge throughout a M3 game rather than just in the final levels so that seals the deal for me!

I'm looking forward to playing this game through in all three ways (which I consider good value, too!). I highly recommend that you give it a try. Show less

this game has 96 levels that you can play but you get done buying things earlier than that. you get power ups by dropping them off the bottom of the board. 3 levels of M3 that you can use to solve the different levels. sometimes you need all of them and there is some working to finish some levels. still it is a great game!!!!

I recommend this game!

I read on a couple of reviews that this was too hard and we made fun of the people. Then I started playing and whined, "This is hard". My biggest problem was that I've played a million of these, I didn't need to read the instructions, I knew what I was doing. Boy, was I wrong.

I read on a couple of reviews that this was too hard and we made fun of the people. Then I started playing and whined, "This is hard". My biggest problem was that I've played a million of these, I didn't need to read the instructions, I knew what I was doing. Boy, was I wrong. Especially with the 3 choices of how to play at the bottom. They make a huge difference. And I was failing miserably until I paid enough attention to see they wanted me to free the fish on the outside of the puzzle in the bubbles. It's funny, this is one of the only games that doesn't offer a tutorial and it's one that really should. People like me would probably have skipped it anyway, but at least when I accepted defeat I could have gone back and accepted their help instead of having to figure it out myself. I absolutely love this game. It is hard but that's a really good thing. I don't want it handed to me. I like to have to work for it, to use my brain. The graphics are great. I love getting to build the place up. The music is awesome. I usually turn the music off in these games but not this one. It takes some work to figure this one out but it's worth it. Show less

I agree it is difficult to get three stars on every level, but you can go back and try again. You can also skip the story. It is a cute game for all ages.

I did enjoy playing this game apart from the fact I finished developing the scene after 33 levels. It just has a finish flag and the pop up 'developers ran out of ideas for buildings'. Seriously? I understand they are trying to be glib but it stinks of laziness especially as there are 100 levels available. Maybe another scene: Queeny loves what you have done and asks to develop another run down ...Show more

I did enjoy playing this game apart from the fact I finished developing the scene after 33 levels. It just has a finish flag and the pop up 'developers ran out of ideas for buildings'. Seriously? I understand they are trying to be glib but it stinks of laziness especially as there are 100 levels available. Maybe another scene: Queeny loves what you have done and asks to develop another run down area/s perhaps?
Also what was the point of the hidden object scenes, these could of been far more integral and useful to the game play.
The idea of the extra fish was good and I liked it, rather stressful when trying to get rid of the little blighters in the 3 star time limit. I also liked the option to change type of match 3, gave a personal option to the game.
I liked the basic game play, which is why I originally bought it but the end completely lets it down due to lack of completion from the developers. As there is no need to I will not play the rest of the levels, which is a shame. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
