j'ai découvert ces matchs 3 que je ne connaissais pas dans les versions anglaise.
même si c'est préférable d'avoir la version française quand on ne parle pas la langue de sa grincheuse majesté, je le trouve très intéressant
belles tuile très bonne fluidité, bonus et obstacles bien faits
je suis preneur

I recommend this game!

BECAUSE THE DEVELOPERS KEPT THE CE CONTENT A MYSTERY, I RECOMMEND THIS SE VERSION!

I'm really loving this series because it has everything I want in a Match 3 game. There are three difficulty mode options (Timeless, Limited Time, or Limited Moves) and it allows you to switch between them without having to start over! It has interesting features like shooting arrows around 90° angles, level layouts that have nooks & crannies versus a simplistic square board, challenging ...Show more

This is a challenging game but it never feels frustrating. Each level is chockfull of various obstacles and goals, such as making a specified amount of matches to unlock Gem Counters. Achilles Heel with only one weak point, or spreading fire to melt frozen tiles. You are required to make matches over all Green Cells and collect Star Essence Gems, many of which are hidden under mud-covered tiles or behind Fog, or Chained tiles.

My favorite obstacle in this series is the arrow shooters that are activated when you make an adjacent match, and usually involve a chain reaction of events where the first arrow hits the second arrow activator and so forth, until the arrows have traveled around the perimeter's edge until it hits the designated target, whatever that may be.

Large Matches reward you with Power-ups on the board that can be swapped to an adjacent cell, or double-clicked to detonate. A match 4 gives you Dynamite, Match 5 or a Match T or L shape rewards you with a large Bomb that has a huge explosion radius. You can also use the Bonus Power-ups at your discretion, but they will need to recharge after each use. The Hammer removes a single tile, the Shuffle bonus reshuffles all of the tiles on the board, and the Hint icon points to a viable move

I get that BF is running out of options since all of their HOPA developers are either from Russia or Ukraine, so they are making deals with casual game developers to make CE versions. I'm okay with a Match 3 Collector's Edition but I'm not okay with spending twice as much money for mystery content! All of the CE version's extra features don't allow you access to the content until you've finished 30 main levels!

There's no way you can finish 30 levels in the demo, so they ask you to take a leap of faith and trust that the CE version is worth the extra money! The synopsis says "66 extra levels of puzzle fun!" does that mean there are 66 bonus Match 3 levels or does the "66 extra levels of puzzle fun" include the featured Pipe Connection puzzles & the Slider Puzzles?

The synopsis for the CE version also says "Even more bonus mini-games!" does this refer to the Solitaire games, Hidden Object Scenes, and Spot the Differences mini-games you play after a few Match 3 levels, or are they referring to the CE Pipe Connection & Slider Puzzles features? Both versions have 14 Achievements and the CE version has Wallpapers as well. How many wallpapers do we get in total in the CE version? What do they look like?

Why is the CE version's content so mysterious and secretive? Wouldn't more people be leery and less apt to purchase a CE with unknown bonus content than those unwilling to purchase the CE because they weren't impressed with the CE content? Because the developers kept the CE version's content a secret, I am recommending this Standard Edition version which is just as much fun at half the price!...my only complaint is that the tutorial is way too intrusive and gets rather annoying after the 3rd or 4th popup window!

After reading that last paragraph you're probably just as confused as I am, but taking a hike to my new forum is never confusing! Chat about the game or chat with fellow game fans, and maybe even reconnect with long-lost fishies from the Big Fish Forum days. Come as you are and chillax for a bit by the campfire, there's always an endless supply of smores! We've just started a new HOPA group play game so won't you join us at The Woods Forum?... thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I recommend this game!

I did a short review for the Collector's Edition already and my review is based on the demo of both the CE and this SE. I will restate here what I think the developers should change in any forthcoming title, and I hope they do release more of these!

I really hope they remove the fire on tiles once you no longer need it. That graphic makes it hard to see what is behind the rune, like if it's a ...Show more

I really hope they remove the fire on tiles once you no longer need it. That graphic makes it hard to see what is behind the rune, like if it's a tile that still needs to be cleared.

I still don't know how to get three stars, even though I did several boards without using either the hammer, hint or shuffle. I'm guessing it also has to do with time taken to clear the board, the amount of moves and/or the mode of play. It would be nice if the developer would mention how to get three stars in their tutorial.

I had to remove a star from the visual/sound quality because I had a few glitches with the tutorial. It popped up with 'Cannot make a match' in the middle of a solitaire game oddly and I couldn't close the dialogue box. Since it was hiding the cards, I had to restart the level. It glitched a few times throughout the demo. I also removed a star for the sounds. I never particularly liked these and often play without any sound as a result.

Otherwise this is an excellent Match-3 game. There are lots of obstacles to clear and strategies to think up. This series is up there in my favorite M3 games list.

I like this episode in some ways more than the first one in the series. The graphics are a bit cleaner and nicer, and, very important to me since I'm on a small screen, the boards are centered and fit my screen better than in the first. I had a few M3 scenes in the first game that pushed the shuffle, hammer and hint off the board as well as some spot-the-difference scenes with things to click that were off-screen. So far, these have not been an issue in this one.

I can't advise as to whether to get the CE or the SE since I'm on the fence. However, I can recommend this game for the puzzle-style M3 fans out there. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this, the game looks really good. The graphics are lovely and the music isn't bad. I think it's more challenging than other match 3 games which is great.

But for those of us with a bad memory, it's not very friendly. Not being able to remember all the ways to activate certain things really didn't help. It would be good if we got reminders every now and again, if no ...Show more

For me, the fact I spent several minutes of the demo keep making matches to try to activate things that I was clearly not doing correctly, over and over with no success, wasn't fun at all. If the devs can do something about that, I'll happily give it another try. Show less
