I have played the first 60 min demo and am going to buy. It's not a terribly complicated game so far. You get plenty of power-ups, the basic game play is pretty easy. I chose relaxed although you can play timed if you wish. I don't like the stress. I can see that something happens at level 20 although at this point I have no clue what.

I have played the first 60 min demo and am going to buy. It's not a terribly complicated game so far. You get plenty of power-ups, the basic game play is pretty easy. I chose relaxed although you can play timed if you wish. I don't like the stress. I can see that something happens at level 20 although at this point I have no clue what. But is was an easy buy for me. I may change my mind at some point but right now I am going to buy it. It seems like the sort of game I can play when I just want simple and relaxing. Show less

I recommend this game!

Come on, reviewers - this is not a bad game! It's fun, fast moving (despite the fact that you have to wait for tokens to fall before making your next move) and I'll be buying it. I've been playing match 3 games for 20 years - some fantastic, some good, some so bad you wished you'd never wasted download time, but this one is quite o.k.

I recommend this game!

As others noted, yes, you do sometimes have to wait for all the drops to happen, but there is more to this game than speed. Each level has different goals. You need to collect fruit, clear different areas, or conquer certain monsters.

I played with limited time. This was sometimes challenging, but fun. I never had to repeat a level all day just to pass it, but some levels took 8 - 10 tries. ...Show more

I played with limited time. This was sometimes challenging, but fun. I never had to repeat a level all day just to pass it, but some levels took 8 - 10 tries. Strategy was definitely needed. Sometimes the creative use of earned power-ups or board bombs was all that stood between me and victory.

If you prefer, you can also play with limited moves or in casual mode.

I started out thinking I might have a free hour of play on a time waster. I ended up buying the game! The first levels are pretty easy. Play to the end of the trial to get a good feel for it. You might be surprised.

I was able to load and continued playing. So, I have not tried to remove the game as the previous Reviewer.

The colors are fair, there is little or no instruction and the game play is medium challenge. But, for some reason I like it. Heaven help me...I went ahead an bought the game.

Match 3's are one of my favorite games, but not this one. There are no instructions but the idea is that you are to restore these islands by matching colorful fruit, uncovering totems and eliminating monsters. There are three modes of play: limited moves, limited time, or relaxed. In the first 20 levels you need to "win" 2 games to upgrade an island. In the next set after 20 you need to win 3 ...Show more

In the next set after 20 you need to win 3 games (gain 3 stars) to upgrade the island again, and so on. I really becomes very boring. Show less

Yes some powerups appear during game, but couldn't figure out the things on the side & what they represented, & the screen kept getting reshuffled automatically because there were just no matches & what with rocks & monsters it seemed pretty hopeless to me. Time was running out for me to try & figure the finer points out, so I gave up (very rare for me) & deleted in frustration.
Maybe you can do it, so give it a try Show less

I don't recommend this game.

It's a bit slow, no real challenge and you have to wait for things to fall before making another match. More for my grandkids ages 5 and 9.

I don't recommend this game.

I'll say it again, I am not a match 3 fan and this one confirms why. Yes, I do keep trying them because, eventually, a good one comes along that I enjoy.
Eleven Islands is not one I would keep unless I had a small child just learning computers. That's how easy and boring it is. Every level is the same, match 3 or more and get a certain number of the fruit or shells or totems or whatever. 3 modes ...Show more

Eleven Islands is not one I would keep unless I had a small child just learning computers. That's how easy and boring it is. Every level is the same, match 3 or more and get a certain number of the fruit or shells or totems or whatever. 3 modes of play so you can play in "boring but I'll never win", "boring but I might win", or just plain "boring and I'll win all the time".
There are people out there who love these games and I wish them well but I want adventure and excitement in my games.
Sorry, but I can't recommend this one but try the demo and have fun. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Having to wait for all tiles to fall before making another match makes the game a no-buy for me. Fairly primitive game in my opinion. I tried hard to give it a chance, M3 is my favourite genre, but I couldn't make it past the first 20 or so minutes. I just didn't find it fun.

I don't recommend this game.
