Eric the wizard has returned to Spellarium with a new mission from the gods. Spellarium currently consists of 6 elements, fire, air, earth, water, light and darkness. The gods have given us a clue to help us find the missing element, when it's in the air, you can see a rainbow! (surely it's Pegasus, lol!)

Eric the wizard has returned to Spellarium with a new mission from the gods. Spellarium currently consists of 6 elements, fire, air, earth, water, light and darkness. The gods have given us a clue to help us find the missing element, when it's in the air, you can see a rainbow! (surely it's Pegasus, lol!)

If you love Lauraville, you're gonna love this challenging game as well. So far, I haven't noticed any new features in this edition of Spellarium, other than the board layouts, but this is such a cool game that it doesn't really matter! You still get to play mini games such as Solitaire or Spot the Difference. You can play in Relaxed, Limited Time or Limited Moves modes, so there's a Match 3 style for just about everyone.

The object of each level is to remove all coins, but in order to do so, you will need to make several Match 5's to receive Rockets that will go after targeted coins that are located on the outside area of the board, or located behind obstacles that have no access otherwise! Matches of 4 tiles will earn you Dynamite that explodes to destroy those nasty ladybugs or set off chain reaction bombs, Matches of 6 tiles earn a Star that targets all tiles of the same kind as matched with, and Matches of 7 will give you a whole pack of Dynamite.

Of course there are several obstacles such as Boards, Shields, Ground, Clay, Fog, Ice, and even Green Fog to make it even more challenging. Each of these obstacles require specific items to destroy, you may need to fill bottles with liquid, fill in coins with liquid gold, move keys towards locks, move coin halves to make a whole coin or even ignite a cannon. It's a really fun but very challenging Match 3 game, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

If you liked the first Spellarium you will like this as well. You have to help the Wizard to build up the surroundings. This is not your average match 3 game. It is a little harder, but it is easy once you know what to do. You click on the book in the upper left hand corner and it will guide you on what to do.I will be adding this to my collection. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I recommend this game!

This is one of my very favorite kind of M3's. I like building things and M3 "boards" that are really different. Spellarium games have all of those things. If you are familiar with Laruaville, this is the same type of game. There is nothing run-of-the-mill about these M3 games. If you are new to them, you really do need to read the instructions and hints. One of the biggest improvements over the years is how the fire is spread to the frozen coins. It's much easier than it used to be, but still challenging. You have to use explosions, bombs, etc to reach the frozen coins. If you try this game, don't give up too early - it's great. Show less

**************************************************************

2) RELAXED/ TIMED/ LIMITED MOVES.

*******************************************************************

GREAT GRAPHICS during the match-3 phases. The graphics are sparkly and shimmery...! Rockets flying hither and thither as you combine 5 elements (to remove unreachable coins). Matching 4 gives you dynamite. Matching 5 gives you a rocket.

This game uses the normal SWITCHING format to create your combos. In addition, "match-5s" can be created, not just vertically and horizontally, but also at 90 degrees ! (2 vertical, 2 horizontal, and then move a corner into place.)

All the stuff is here, like break through brick walls, move your key to the lock by eliminating units, direct fire to melt ice, and more. Note, you can only use the dynamite on walls etc if they are at 90 degrees adjacent (and not diagonally).

Lots of pop, whizz and wow!

The other parts of the game, like find the differences have lower standard graphics, and you can skip them if you want.

If you loved the cursed house series you will definitely love this also, as it has the same gameplay and extra elements. If you didn't like cursed house because of it's dark halloween theme then this game is a perfect alternative. There is nothing dark here, only delightful icons, lady bugs, and a crystal temple to build. From the get go the gameplay is advanced with helpful hints provided along the way and a guidebook if needed for reference. There is no silliness of limited moves and you can choose either relaxed or timed modes. The only drawback I see is that there are only 110 levels, but as nice as it is I can see the enjoyment of replaying them. This is a lovely game and worth the purchase price. Show less

I loved the first game in this series and was pleased to see a second one. Yes, the game play is similar to the first, but the boards are different, so that makes the game interesting. The reason I enjoy this game is because each board has a puzzle-like setup requiring some logic to solve. To me, the replay value is there as well...I like to play with limited moves and see how few moves I can use to solve each board.

Taking a moment to look at the board before you start matching will help. Figure out which components need to be eliminated first in order to move through the board successfully. The ability to move dynamite power-ups makes it even more interesting from a logic standpoint. Further, exploding power-ups may or may not require the cost of a move (if playing limited moves) so thinking about how and when to use them adds to the fun.

Since I enjoy match 3 games and also logic style puzzles, these two games are perfect for me. I have played the first one over and over so I am pleased to have a second one with different boards to shake up the replay value. Show less

From the makers of so many great games, Laruaville, Cursed House, Floria, Spellarium 1 comes another fun game. I do hope these developers continue to create games. The only thing wrong is- could you change the bug? The ladybug is perhaps one of the most harmless and helpful of bugs. Maybe turn her into a spider or a scorpion or anything but an innocent little ladybug.

I recommend this game!
