I'm not a huge fan of Chain type Match 3 games, but it kinda works for this game. It could be a bit more challenging because it's fairly easy to make large chains but on the other hand, I suppose it makes for a more relaxing game.

I'm not a huge fan of Chain type Match 3 games, but it kinda works for this game. It could be a bit more challenging because it's fairly easy to make large chains but on the other hand, I suppose it makes for a more relaxing game. The goal is to reach the buried Treasure Chest by making chains of elements to dig through the ground.

The longer the chain, the bigger the explosion! You can make small chains of elements containing at least 2 identical elements which will destroy the ground tile if matched adjacent to it. Matches of 5 or more create an explosion starting with a small bomb, the larger the chain is, the larger the explosion is, all the way up to a nuclear bomb! The radius of the explosion is shown before you release the chain so you'll know exactly what will be affected by the subsequent explosion. Chains can be made vertically, horizontally, diagonally or any combination within.

You start the game at the top of the board and work your way down, but some levels go from left to right, or take sharp turns, starting in one direction and then up, right, left etc. You must break all of the ground tiles above the line, as you do, the line moves and more of the board is exposed. Before the start of each level, the entire board is shown as a reference, but it doesn't really matter where the Chest is, because you still have to destroy all ground tiles.

There are different kinds of ground tiles, some just require an adjacent match, others require explosions and some require a nuclear explosion to destroy. If you destroy Fuses they will ignite the barrels which also explode, however, if you eliminate the Fuse without an explosion, the barrels won't explode.

Of course, this game isn't going to be everybody's cup of T......NT, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing this unique Match 3 game. For me, it gave making matches a purpose, there's a reason to keep making matches. There seem to only be 25 different levels total, but don't let that deter you, because each level is extremely long, in fact, I think I only made it to about the beginning of the third level during the demo. I definitely plan on using a PCC today to buy this game, and I'm certain it will be my go-to game for relaxation for quite some time, happy Treasure Hunting :) Show less

I recommend this game!

This is an extremely good chain match 3. It's quite different from every other one that I've played (and I've played a lot of them, since it's one of the types of games that I really enjoy). There's tons of strategy and different things to have to take care of before you complete the level. Lots of 'helper' things that are easy to get, but need thinking to deploy effectively.

This is an extremely good chain match 3. It's quite different from every other one that I've played (and I've played a lot of them, since it's one of the types of games that I really enjoy). There's tons of strategy and different things to have to take care of before you complete the level. Lots of 'helper' things that are easy to get, but need thinking to deploy effectively. I especially like that when you click on a color, all the tiles with that color are highlighted. It may not seem like a big thing, but you'll see how much that makes finding the right moves fun rather than tedious, as some match-3's can be. I was surprised (and delighted) to learn that I could even eliminate only 2 of the same color, which made creating larger chains possible.

Be sure to read the short instructions at the ? on top. I referred back to them often as I was strategizing, until I had them in my memory. Nothing complicated; simple and useful. The eye at the top is also an excellent feature.

I used the first level to try things out so I could get a feel of the range of things to do. At the end of the level, I already made up my mind to purchase it. Show less

As others have said - very different type of match 3. I almost didn't buy it because of initial bad review. Glad I decided to try it. Quite challenging and an enjoyable change.

Best news - no demons, no colored smoke, no royalty in distress, no evil spells, no monsters, no amulets, etc. These factors alone makes this a great game for me.

This has to be one of my all-time favorite games. I am now on my third time around, and am still not tired of it. Gets more challenging as you go along, and one hint: When you get to the "atomic bomb" looking things, you have to have a match of 13 or more to get rid of them. Actually easier than it sounds. Give it a try - it's too good a game to miss!

I love this game. I thought it would be a standard match-3, but it's not at all; it involves quite a bit of strategy and becomes more difficulty quickly.

I recommend this game!

Okay, so this isn't the most exciting game that has ever come out, but it grows on you. There is a method to the madness and there is some strategy involved.

Okay, so this isn't the most exciting game that has ever come out, but it grows on you. There is a method to the madness and there is some strategy involved. It took me about 12 minutes to get through the first level and I had to quit after that. This is the kind of game that you can play to waste time. That's not an insult. Sometimes you just need something that you don't have to strain your brain over. The best part is there are no time limits. I did find myself wanting to scroll downward a lot (which you can't do), but it was more instinct than necessity. The "eye" button shows you what areas need to be cleared, but other than that, you're on your own. My only negative is that the music got old REAL fast. No storyline... just dig until you get to the bottom to collect your treasure chest. Very basic and rather charmingly old school. Reminds me of when video games first became popular. If that's what you're into and need a break from anything that involves puzzles or detective work, this is a good game for you. It's worth a token if it is. Try to the demo first. Show less

I recommend this game!
