You collect coins and other rewards too, as well as saving little animals/creatures, in the tunnels that you will apply to the "map area" of the game. You use your money to build living conditions for the little saved animals and to progress through areas on the map.

It's funny to see your character receive items in the map area by other characters. She squats down and they just appear; ta da! Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is awesome, I love the new twist to it It kinda reminds me of pit fall for some reason. I hope there is a part 2 and 3. It was very easy to understand anyone can play this with out problems. If I could give it more stars I would.

I recommend this game!

A fresh air in m3 gaming. I wish it has more digging in dungeons, but still it's a nice game.

I can't stop playing. This game is not at all like most M3. It's sometimes hard....makes you think....but it is still a lot of fun. I am soooo glad that I purchased this game. It makes me use my brain but it is still relaxing at the same time.

This is a Quest driven Match 3 game, sort of. You arrive at the castle gate, to meet up with Greg who for some odd reason can't get the gates to open, so you must take the alternate route, through the caves and dungeons below the castle. You are given tasks or Quests as you progress, that take place on the castle grounds.

This is a Quest driven Match 3 game, sort of. You arrive at the castle gate, to meet up with Greg who for some odd reason can't get the gates to open, so you must take the alternate route, through the caves and dungeons below the castle. You are given tasks or Quests as you progress, that take place on the castle grounds.

Each Quest is fairly simplistic, such as demolishing an old building, rebuilding various structures, repairing fences, or just unpacking your belongings. You can also select the Trade Icon to exchange Essence for Gold. (which is also collected during the Match 3 games) Of course, these Quests cost money, and to earn money, you'll need to go underground to play Match 3 games.

Most of the Match 3 games have no Time Limit, but there are a few levels that require you to make matches a quickly as possible to fill a progress meter. The Match 3 levels in the beginning of each level, require you to make matches near the stone obstructions to remove them. Once that is done, the character continues her journey until the next blockade aka Match 3 game. The final level requires you to collect all of the Keys, by dropping them off the board, which will unlock the door, and that will conclude that level. The Match 3 games are fairly quick, because the only goals are to unblock the passage, but I rather enjoyed playing them.

The problem I had, was that there's little to no explanation of the Match 3 bonuses and features. I basically had to fiddle around with them to find out what they did. Large Matches will earn bonuses on the board, such as Bombs and Directional Explosions, or Color bombs (remove all of a color) that must be matched with the same colored tiles as the bonuses. The Mirror bonus took me a while to figure out that you have to push it to an adjacent tile, which will transform or "mirror" the tile it's pushed to. This is actually an awesome feature because if you push it to a bomb tile, it will mirror the bomb and then you'll have two bombs!

The Skills are more bonuses you can use to help you, and they have no explanation whatsoever! Each Skill must first be filled up by collecting Essence, aka specific tiles. Once filled they will remove tiles in a specific manner, one of which speeds up the pace of the character traveling through the tunnels. The Dragon feature mentioned by one of the other reviewers, will shoot fireballs at specific colored tiles. There's also a Yin Yang skill, a Swap skill and one that will take out a whole grid of tiles in a chosen area. The best I can tell you, is to wait until the skills are full, and apply them to see what happens. To be honest with you, the Match 3 games themselves are easy enough to master without using the skills, because it's fairly easy to get bonuses on the board.

As you progress, you can choose different paths to take to earn more coins, essence, find treasure chests, or even save critters you find along the way. Enhanced Doors have additional tasks required to open, than a normal door.

This game is quite different, and is very relaxing, however, it's not a very long game. In my opinion, it's definitely worthy of a PCC. Show less

I recommend this game!

Like a lot of people, I love match three but get tired of the same old games regurgitated over and over with the only thing different being the graphics.

This review is based on the full hour trial. As poodlebear already described gameplay, the only thing I would add is first, there's "skill" buttons you can use on the left side. The game never describes what they do but you can figure them out. Except for one - there's a button that releases a little dragon and for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it does.

The other negative is that there are a lot of levels based on how fast you can make matches. For me, I don't want to be under pressure to go as fast as I can. If you have to stop and think, you lose progress. I do not find this relaxing :)

Other than those two things, it's a fun little game and could see it easily being a series. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really liked this game, it's very cute and a lot of fun. The only problem, for me, was that it makes me feel very dizzy. I guess I can't play this kind of game any more..too much side ways motion.
But for those of you who can, I really recommend this one. It kind of reminds me of the old Phaser Star game.
Lots of fun!

I recommend this game!
