My favorite genre is match 3, and I usually prefer more complex versions like Jewel Match but I found this enjoyable, a little challenging. Good late evening get ready for bed stuff. I might buy it.

I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. Let me start with: I really dislike games with limited moves. I really dislike games where you need to earn stars in order to get $$ to buy the power ups you need to solve the more advanced levels. Both of which this game has. I would have given it 5 starts if it had a "relaxed" setting.

This is based on the demo. Let me start with: I really dislike games with limited moves. I really dislike games where you need to earn stars in order to get $$ to buy the power ups you need to solve the more advanced levels. Both of which this game has. I would have given it 5 starts if it had a "relaxed" setting.

But even though you have lots of help to make the long chains that you need in order to meet the level goals and earn 3 stars (AND BTW, you can meet the level goal and still not earn all 3 stars, if you don't amass enough points), the game is enticing. The levels after the first ten get increasingly challenging and getting 3 stars gets progressively harder. But it always stays interesting.

I like the story, although I wish there were more interaction instead of just a story board. But overall, I am enjoying the play, used a freebie to buy it and recommend it to others. I also think it's too difficult for children. Game's effectively over when you run out of $$, and that could be very frustrating for kids. Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on the demo only, so I can't say how difficult it becomes.
I liked the story and the drawings are pretty good. The game is a relatively classic Match3 with addition of boosters along the game, frozen tiles etc.

What I truly hate is that you are to achieve the targed in a limited number of moves. Easy at the beginning, it becomes difficult to achieve even before the end of the demo, so you have to buy more moves, and I guess that once you have spent all your money the game is over, so it's possible that you'll never be able to play the game to the end. It happend to me on some match3 games and it is rather infuriating. There should be a 'relaxed' mode without the limited number of moves. Please Match3 devs make it happen, il would be far more pleasant.
This is the only 'con' I can speak of, so give it a try. With unlimited moves I would have given it a 5 star rating and a full fun factor. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a straight-up match three game that requires the player to clear squares in a certain number of moves. This is not difficult; could be more challenging for young children. I didn't pay any attention to the story; this one, like many, is not very interesting.

I don't recommend this game.

This is a Limited Moves, Chain type Match 3 game where you are tasked (and I do mean tasked) with clicking and dragging long chains. The problem is that you can drag chains, horizontally, vertically and diagonally, you can even retrace your steps to include even more gems! It's impossible not to make a long chain!

This is a Limited Moves, Chain type Match 3 game where you are tasked (and I do mean tasked) with clicking and dragging long chains. The problem is that you can drag chains, horizontally, vertically and diagonally, you can even retrace your steps to include even more gems! It's impossible not to make a long chain! To make matters worse (or easier) you earn Pawprints that allow you to add groups of a different color.

As you progress, bonuses are unlocked such as Ice Balls and Detonators, that can be chosen as boosters before each level. Large matches earn you Lightning tiles which will destroy even more tiles. There are 38 Achievements to earn, and I was able to earn a ton of them in about a half hour before I quit. This is one of the easiest Match 3 games I've ever played. Although I've never been a fan of chain type match games, or a Limited Moves match 3 game, I think that this game might be more fun if you want a really laid back game, or want a game that younger kids can play, but I just couldn't get into the game.

I don't recommend this game.
