I love this underwater, mermaid themed Match 3 game. It's really fun to play and I love how the power-ups explode the tiles with a realistic underwater muffled sound and the wave that follows.

I love this underwater, mermaid themed Match 3 game. It's really fun to play and I love how the power-ups explode the tiles with a realistic underwater muffled sound and the wave that follows. The goal is to break all stone tiles and collect coins, within the allotted time frame, to earn all 3 stars. All was going well until I only earned 2 stars on level 7, and couldn't find a way to replay the level, or any level for that matter, I couldn't even find a way to access the level map! The reason I only earned 3 stars was because the stone tiles are really hard to spot, they are blue but so are all the other tiles. I was willing to overlook the blue tile scenario because in a way it added some challenge, but if I can't replay levels to get a better star rating, it may just be a deal breaker for me. If someone figures out a way to replay a level, please PM me in the forum and let me know :)

You can choose to play in a Relaxed mode, Normal mode or Hard, however, there's a glitch here as well, because none of them explain the features you get or don't get. These are the same devs who brought us Magic Cards Solitaire, and the music is the same, and the characters slide forward when they are talking, just as in Magic Cards Solitaire.

Large matches give you a Power-up on the board, the larger the Match, the larger the explosion. A Match 4 gives you a Blue Magic Pearl that explodes a 5 field radius, a Match 5 gives you a Violet Pearl that explodes a 9 field radius, a Match 6 gives you a Pink Pearl that explodes a 25 field radius, followed by Violet and Red explosions.

Once you earn enough resources you can buy items in the shop that will give you bonuses to use when you want, once they are charged by making matches of that icon. Each Bonus can be upgraded 3 times, and each bonus requires that you meet the requirements shown, such as a specified amount of gold, rocks, etc, some even require that you earn awards.

There are the usual obstructions, sand filled tiles, seaweed covered tiles etc. It's a cute and colorful Match 3 game, but it does have some flaws, so I suggest you try the demo, to see if there are any deal breakers for you, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

At first I didn't think I would like this game, but it is a lot of fun and has great challenges as the game progresses. If you play in relax mode you can restart a level to see if you can obtain three stars. The power-ups are fun and you have to use some of them several times in order to buy the items. Be sure you read all the instructions as this will help you to enjoy the game.

I recommend this game!

I love match 3 games and this one is just adorable! Love the characters, love the unusual match 3 challenges. It is cute but not as easy as it looks. Love the side games that break up the matching. The power ups are needed when you get into the higher levels to attain the 3 stars but it is also good for all levels of players. The casual version is great for the whole family!

I recommend this game!

This is an excellent Match 3 game, despite its look. The more you play, the more interesting and intriguing it gets.
The main reason I've popped in here is to clarify the replaying of a level to obtain 3 stars.

This is an excellent Match 3 game, despite its look. The more you play, the more interesting and intriguing it gets.
The main reason I've popped in here is to clarify the replaying of a level to obtain 3 stars.

After buying the game, I delved into this apparent 'overlook' in the game, and have since found someone in the 'game tips' has also discovered it...

Whilst you are playing, the 'star bar' at bottom left of screen starts off with 3 stars. As you progress, this drops to 2 stars or less if you have not got the number of stone tiles required at this point. At bottom left of screen, there is a 'pause' button. Click on this, and you have an option to restart the level. So, you need to keep an eye on the star bar during the game, and when it drops to 2 stars, hit the 'pause' button and restart.

The option for replaying a level should have been made available as soon as you have completed the level (like most other games of this type), as to most people the above is not obvious at the start. Maybe this will be provided in a possible game update? Show less

I recommend this game!

First of all, after trial time I was intrigued. Not quite sure, but intrigued. So I went and bought it... and I am not regretting it. I find gameplay has a great number of new features. Also, advancing in the game is not so obvious. You need to collect powerups charges and items that you will later use to acquire more powerups and 'requisites' that are necessary to progress. This is tricky enough, because achievements and powerups need to be collected in a certain order, because you need to have one before you can proceed to the next. This is not openly explained, rather you have to figure out, keeping an eye on what you can obtain in the immediate future, and what you need in order to do so. Everything is there, but you need to routinely look at possible advances and what is it that you are required to obtain by opening the achevement menu, and checking the various treasures that you can buy or implement. So far, I like a bit of 'strategy' in a match 3, but here come a few problems, that, even if they do not make me want to quit, make gameplay extremely slow. There is no possibility to replay levels. you will have to make do with the first result you get. If it is not optimum (three stars) there is no way to better it, and obtain more of what you needed from that level. Second: schemes are small and very complicated, and you have to go after so many things, collecting charges for powerups, collecting coins, collecting items you need to buy implementations....It takes forever to complete a level, because many times there are only a couple moves available, and even if you know what you want to do, there are simply no possible moves to take you there. Still, the game will punish you for not doing it quick enough by quitting stars at the end, Recharging powerups is a nightmare, and you often find you do not have what you need. You are offered charges for the powerups you have on a random order. If you need crabs, the game offers maybe something else, like urchins, and until you are finished collecting enough urchins, you have no chance that the game will again switch to offering crabs. All in all, give it a try if you like to put some strategy thinking in your gameplay. And if you have a lot, and I mean A LOT of patience. Show less

I recommend this game!

To play when you don't want a mental effort. Love underwater games and tho the artwork was cartoonish was pleasant with attractive colors. I do have to agree with one reviewer re tiles to be broken blend into background and are hard to see so it takes longer (unless you have perfect vision) to complete a level. Purpose of game is for the little mermaid Flora to bring a statute of a warrior who saved her life once to life so has to accumulate gold and other treasures, etc, etc. (the usual).

Will recommend it since it's a nice change from doom, gloom and hideous faces. Show less

She's got the face of a child but is "dressed" like something else. Come on, dev's, let's get w/ the 21st century! Females don't need rescuing anymore; we're perfectly capable on our own (and have been for a very long time.)

I don't recommend this game.
