This is a great M3 game! Based on playing the first ten levels,,,there is strategy involved to meet the goals and LOTS of bonuses on the board to help.

This is a great M3 game! Based on playing the first ten levels,,,there is strategy involved to meet the goals and LOTS of bonuses on the board to help. You must clear the lighted pathways to complete a level but, before doing so, make sure to remove the extra pumpkins, grass tiles and other items to receive maximum points. It looked rather daunting at first, so many dialogue boxes popping up to explain things, but then I caught onto the game play right away. I also played hidden object, jigsaw puzzle and memory card match bonus levels which were fun. I am playing in timed mode but, as the difficulty increases, I may have to switch to casual further on. Overall, a fun game with extra mini games to keep it from getting repetitive. As always, try this game for yourself. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love Match 3 games that are different and not the same old thing.
This developer is a master of providing different match 3 games .

Regarding is this CE worthy? For me yes it is.

Not only do you get 60 extra levels but you also get 24 extra mini games not available in the SE.

Not only do you get 60 extra levels but you also get 24 extra mini games not available in the SE.

At first this was a bit confusing but there is a very good help guide and after a couple of levels I was fine. Just like anything different it takes a bit of time to get used to it.

As you get further in more and more get added and there are a few standard match 3 levels but mostly you will be removing the Spooky Dwellers who mostly are on the edge of the boards and you need to clear the pathways to get to them.
You can set this up to suit you and you do not have to remove all the pumpkins but you do get bronze, silver and gold trophies for removing more so I like to remove all the pumpkins.
All down to personal taste really. You need as much gold as possible to decorate the house terrace all of which adds to making this a great game.

This developer also takes on what reviewers say which in my book is a very good thing .

For me this is a great game but we are all different , we all have different tastes and this developer does his best to cater for all and it shows . Well done iki games.

try the demo and see what you think but don't just play 5 or 10 mins and give up, you need to get familiar with the set up as it is different from your standard match 3 games. Enjoy Show less

After reading the first couple of reviews :( I decided to give it a try anyway. Boy am I glad I did: this studio really got creative with a Match 3. Bravo!

To be honest, I couldn't stop playing. I bought it on the BOGO, tried to put it aside, and caved. I even went through 2 rounds of the bonus, maybe more 'cause I was at level 130 something when I stopped.

The colors are bright and cheery, the music is... can't remember. I was too engrossed in the gameplay to pay attention. 1960's horror movie music?

Besides the Match 3 there are swap-the-blocks jigsaw puzzles and Hidden Object games, both of which are entertaining.

Spooky Dwellers is one of those rare games that will stay in my Game Manager for a long, long time. Show less

I really love this game. It's cute and not scary at all. Fun family Halloween. Surprisingly, the bonus minigames of this CE are different to the ones you play between the levels. That's a plus for me.

I recommend this game!

I've been playing for hours until I've finally unlocked everything. The skull throwing minigame is difficult but good. I don't know why but I find it very addictive to drive out these ghosts.

I really liked it the more I played. It's a new fresh way to match, not too different from regular match 3s but its really cute its worth getting. My hour flew by so fast. If you like these types of games give it a try, if your not sure play the full hour you will know by then.

I recommend this game!

Based on completed 60min. demo only

I thought this game had a lot of fun features that made it a little different than most M3s. I also thought this DEV paid attention to details and tried really hard to make a fun game. It has a lot going for it.

Based on completed 60min. demo only

I thought this game had a lot of fun features that made it a little different than most M3s. I also thought this DEV paid attention to details and tried really hard to make a fun game. It has a lot going for it.

3 MODES: Relaxed, Limited moves, & Timed

* There is enough glitter & bang (loved the BOO button!)
* The music changed enough & fit the game
* There were a lot of tile designs and they changed enough
* This game is very responsive to fast matching (in relaxed mode)
* It has a reason for matching by upgrading a build area.
* 1920 x 1080 selection makes for crystal clear graphics.
* The boards are festive and cover most of your monitor.
* 6 cursor choices
* I loved the light passages you create on the M3 boards to get the Spooky Dwellers.
* I really loved the HOP levels. There are real items set up like a clutter game and you are shown ½ of the item to search for in the thumbnail pic. line-up.

BUILD AREA:
As you complete the M3 boards, you are given in-game currency to spend on decorating a stone terrace for Halloween. It has 24 upgrade items that I could see in the demo. The only thing that could have been a little better would be to make us M3 rich. It's hard enough to get coin IRL "). The items cost 1000 to 9500 coins for items 1 to 24.
This game may have more build scenes after the demo but if there are I couldn't see them. 24 items just isn't enough for anything over 50 levels IMO. I just prefer when *every* level ends, you should be able to to pick at least one small upgrade. That & multiple build scenes, like they do in the Jewel Match series (the only M3 I've ever been M3 rich.)

CE extras:
*60 bonus match 3 levels (avail. after 90 levels play)
* 7 wallpapers (1 unlocks with the demo)
* Bonus minigames (after 30 regular) which are:
> 2 (11, 12) HO
> 2 (6, 7) Puzzles
> 10 (1-10) Higher or Lower
>10 (1-10) The Coin Collector
>More art & stories which unlock after 15 standard levels. The demo shows 1, called Granny's House, which has a before and after character drawing and a pictures of the house.

This excellent game was developed by Iki Games.
Well done & Happy Halloween! Show less

I recommend this game!
