I WAS EXPECTING A CHEAPLY MADE MATCH 3 GAME, BUT INSTEAD I GOT SOMETHING WONDERFUL!

Just looking at the small iconic picture of this game on the new release page today, made me think it was a cheap B list knockoff game. I therefore wasn't expecting much, but I downloaded it anyway.

Just looking at the small iconic picture of this game on the new release page today, made me think it was a cheap B list knockoff game. I therefore wasn't expecting much, but I downloaded it anyway. To my surprise, I found this to be a really fun Match 3 game! I will say though, it's a really easy Match 3 game, because in my opinion they give you too much time per level, or perhaps not enough goals to meet. I'm assuming it will eventually get more difficult, but perhaps I was just enjoying the fact that the ease of the game made for a relaxing hour. Unfortunately I used my last PCC on Crossroad Mystery, the other new release of the day, but I'm totally willing to take someone's unwanted coupon code via PM, hint hint lol :)

The graphics are good and the music (Celtic?) is very relaxing, although it does tend to get a bit loud at times. At one point the music changed abruptly and very loudly to an almost modern lively jig, it seemed so out of place to me, but it only lasted briefly, don't know what was up with that?!? You can choose to play in a Relaxed difficulty mode but honestly, they give you more than enough time in the normal Timed mode. There are also Language options besides English, in French, Italian, German and Spanish. Any of the 100 levels can be replayed (you can also swap between relaxed and timed without having to start a new profile) which can be helpful if you want a better score, or if you somehow begin to run out of time.

This is a Swap type Match 3 game that requires you to make matches of specified tiles in specified amounts. The level goals are shown on the top right of the screen, which also may include clearing gold cells, or collecting Clovers by making matches under them until they eventually fall off of the board.

Large Matches of 4 or more will earn you bonuses on the board, with the ability to destroy a single tile, unlock blocked symbols, destroy rocks, etc. Sparkling symbols will charge your special abilities when they are included in a match. After each level, you can access the Shop to buy Power-ups with the gold you earn, and as you progress, upgrades to each of the power-ups become available. There are several types available such as:

1-Bar Blaster: destroys 2 symbols on each side, and the upgrade destroys an entire row.

2-X Spot: destroys 2 symbols diagonally, and the upgrade destroys all symbols diagonally.

3-Key:releases symbols from a lock, the upgrade releases a broader area.

4-Random:destroys a random symbol, and the upgrade destroys 3 random symbols.

There are the usual obstructions but with slightly different visual graphics such as symbols with locks that require matches of whichever symbol is locked, or rocks that cover symbols, requiring you to make matches adjacent to them to chip away the rock.

Give this game a fair chance, the levels are super easy to beat at first, but after 20 levels or so, it begins to become progressively more difficult. This game is perfect for Halloween or anytime for that matter, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I really like almost everything about this match 3 game. I love the music, the graphics and the little story. I enjoy music throughout the game, it adds to the character. The board is easy to look at, including items to match. They are not a mishmash of colors that are hard to differentiate, as in many match 3 games. My pockets are not quite as full, so everything has to be in the game. The one ...Show more

The board is easy to look at, including items to match. They are not a mishmash of colors that are hard to differentiate, as in many match 3 games. My pockets are not quite as full, so everything has to be in the game. The one thing missing is making improvement or building. Many players don't need or want that element. Many players will surely enjoy! I like the power-ups. You won't need to play the game for a half hour just to buy one.
Enjoy the game! Show less

I do not like Match 3 games, as a rule. This one, I loved. Nothing annoying, no hard to find and solve matches, music that sort of vanished into the background as you played, bonuses that impressed and ended the rounds swiftly, symbols that stood out enough to see easily. I have one other Match 3 I have bought and played over a few times over the years, Holiday Bonus Gold, for the Christmas theme ...Show more

I have one other Match 3 I have bought and played over a few times over the years, Holiday Bonus Gold, for the Christmas theme and simplicity perfect for when I am tired and just want to play something easy and undemanding. Medieval Mystery, with its gently Halloween-y theme at times will be joining the games on my computer soon as it goes back on sale.

If it is huge challenge you seek in a Match 3, this is not for you. If it is comfortable matching escape for a while, then try this one out. The end of the demo caught me by surprise and I will be buying :) Show less

For the first 3 or 4 levels, I was sure I wasn't going to like this one. Doesn't really offer much different, is pretty easy so far, but...I don't know exactly why...after continuing to play the demo, I found myself adequately entertained in an old-fashioned Cradle of Rome/Spooky Bonus kind of way. Matching is smooth and quick, no annoying wait for previous matched blocks to fall, graphics and sound are pleasant enough.

Based on the demo, this isn't a M3 that those seeking challenge would care for -- I suspect only a handful of later levels will offer much of any -- but I think it's a fun one to play on those days you feel like some relaxing/light, smooth-playing matching. If that's the kind of play you regularly enjoy in an M3 game, I recommend you give the demo a try. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a plain straight forward Match 3. Nothing to build. Power ups to buy which are reasonably priced and you accumulate enough stars quickly to buy them. There is no lag that I have noticed. Just a fun old fashioned Match 3. Perfect for relaxing and not having to concentrate too hard. It is a buy for me I liked it.

I recommend this game!

This very simple looking match 3 game starts out (review is on relaxed mode) appearing to be easy...in fact as it moves on it gets more difficult slowly, then about half way through it starts tripping you up, even in relaxed mode. Truly, I can't even imagine what playing this game must be like in timed mode!

This very simple looking match 3 game starts out (review is on relaxed mode) appearing to be easy...in fact as it moves on it gets more difficult slowly, then about half way through it starts tripping you up, even in relaxed mode. Truly, I can't even imagine what playing this game must be like in timed mode!

There is no "scramble" in this game so if you get a locked board, you have to restart that level. There is no little sparkly or jiggly tile to tell you where you next move could be, so you have to look around. You do not get an on board bonus by simply making a long combo....they just appear when they want, sometimes but not always with a combo. So don't depend on those. Some levels take a great deal of strategy.

A fun game with unusual bonuses which you can purchase with gold...but on relaxed mode the acquisition of gold is slow.

Highly recommend and the 100 levels make for a long game. Show less

I recommend this game!

Lots of powerups...easy to see ...I played the timed mode and had ample time to achieve results..also handicapped myself to using only a few powerups to make it more challenging as I play a lot of match three... For myself the game was easy but i like a relaxed game now and again.....good for beginners, and for intermediates (used timed and with less power ups) to have fun playing...

I recommend this game!

Just OK - haven't completed the game but haven't a clue what the purpose of it is. Music is nice but other than that a rather dull match three - power ups help but are rather pricey and accumulation of coins is slow.

So maybe something to do when bored with doom, gloom and hideous faces which seems to be the norm on BFG these days. Really wish they'd come up with something fun!

I don't recommend this game.

I love M3 games, and am always excited to try a new one out... I just found this one pointless. I wasn't achieving anything by playing yet another identical level, and buying the power-ups was all a bit odd...

It would be ok for some mindless distraction for a while, but I got bored very quickly, and gave up after ten mins.

The graphics were fairly basic and looked cheap...

I got the game
I was not ready to see the power ups
I guess you would call them
to Cover the Game as they did,
they are bigger than the items to match so having a # of them on the board at one time can take the fun out of it

I recommend this game!
