I just love this game it gives you a variety of ways to match and a challenging game where you have to catch things and put them on a board it makes the game interesting and the fact it has a relaxed mode makes it even better

I recommend this game!

I really like this Match 3 game. I bought it as a deal for $2.99 and it is worth it.

I love that there is a relaxed mode as that is my only way to play. The matches can either be match 3 or click on groups of 2 or more (which I really like) and a snatch and place game. In that particular game, in timed mode, if the pieces fill up on the bottom, you lose. In the relaxed mode, that doesn't ...Show more

In that particular game, in timed mode, if the pieces fill up on the bottom, you lose. In the relaxed mode, that doesn't happen. No more will fall until you use one or more from the bottom, and they fall one for one. They always provide the ones you need toward the end of the game.

This is a fun, relaxing game and well worth the 2.99. Show less

I recommend this game!

There are two different Match 3 game types, most levels require you to swap tiles to make identical matches, but some require clicking on groups of 2 or more identical tiles. You can play in a Timed or Relaxed mode and the goal is to match tiles over all highlighted cells to break them. To earn all three stars, you'll have to make as many large matches as possible.

There are two different Match 3 game types, most levels require you to swap tiles to make identical matches, but some require clicking on groups of 2 or more identical tiles. You can play in a Timed or Relaxed mode and the goal is to match tiles over all highlighted cells to break them. To earn all three stars, you'll have to make as many large matches as possible.

There are the usual obstacles such as Wooden Crates, Planks, and Snow filled cells, that require matches adjacent to them, or Ice filled tiles that require matches made of the same piece as the frozen piece to break. Large matches earn bonuses on the board such as Bombs or Lightning, some even give you extra coins. There are Bonuses that can be used once they are charged, on the tile pieces of your choice such as a Hammer, but many of the levels have directional firecrackers and TNT that are placed strategically on the board which will explode and cause a chain reaction when a match is made next to them.

After a few levels you will play a Mini Game where you must grab falling shapes and place them into the cells with the identical shape. Pieces you can't place can be grabbed and placed into the recycle bin on the right side of the screen. If too many pieces land on the ground and "fill up" the space on the ground, you will lose. I'm not sure if the rules change or the pace of falling symbols slows down when you are playing in Relaxed mode because I played in the Timed mode.

I liked the Swap type Match 3 game, but I'm not a fan of the Group type where you must click on groups of at least two identical tiles, to remove them. Fortunately, most levels are the swap type, and I did find it confusing at the start of the levels, until I figured out which type of Match 3 game it was. The mini game's with dropping tiles is a fast paced game, which was both fun and nerve wracking at the same time, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I had a lot of fun playing both styles of M3 boards in this game and would've loved to continue. I played the demo in relaxed mode and know I'd love to play this one again in timed mode, too. Matching is as quick as you want it to be which I really appreciate; I often prefer fast game play and it's certainly nice and smooth here.

The mini game -- the same one each time, the dropping picture blocks you have to catch and place on the correct spaces -- was not for me, not gameplay I enjoy. Because it can't be skipped and appears to come up fairly often, I'll more than likely skip buying this game. What a shame because I really, really liked the M3 gameplay. I recommend you give this game a try if you're an M3 fan. If you don't mind the mini game, I think you'll have a lot of fun playing this one. Show less

Colorful large icons that you can play either timed or relaxed to gain money to rebuild village. For me it was not enough of a challenge. I also really didn't care for the drop down mini games which appeared often. I would try it to see if you like it.

I don't recommend this game.

This match 3 was a builder game which made it interesting, however if it had not been it would have just been a same-o same-o, somewhat tedious game.

This match 3 was a builder game which made it interesting, however if it had not been it would have just been a same-o same-o, somewhat tedious game.

The game did have some different match options which broke up the slide and drop, but not much else. Just a standard match 3. There were only 2 power-ups which took forever to refresh and were pretty lame. The on board bombs, etc were a bit more useful, but not much. I did play untimed which also game you stars to win, however there were very few which were not 3 star wins. Must have an easy timer I would suspect.

Anyway, your choice. I like a bit more pizza to my match 3, even untimed; a bit more use of strategy...this didn't have that feature. Show less

I recommend this game!

Not much to say here. A typical 3-match builder with some variations. I found the drop speed slow. The game is also slow to recognize when there are no moves (as the timer ticks) and then is slow to reshuffle. You cannot make matches when tiles are dropping (slowly). I suspect the slow drop speed would not be so noticeable if the time allotted to each board were not so short. In other words, ...Show more

Not much to say here. A typical 3-match builder with some variations. I found the drop speed slow. The game is also slow to recognize when there are no moves (as the timer ticks) and then is slow to reshuffle. You cannot make matches when tiles are dropping (slowly). I suspect the slow drop speed would not be so noticeable if the time allotted to each board were not so short. In other words, pushes you to move fast, while at the same time slowing you down.

The graphics are uninspired, using a style we've seen many times before. Music is along the same lines and is actually a poor fit for the game, not being thematic or particularly bouncy.

It gets points for mixing up types of gameplay, but that doesn't really overcome how dull it is otherwise. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
