Have played through the entire game once and am now going back to increase my number of stars on some levels. Although the game does not give lots of hints or instructions, it does allow endless "Try Again" at each level.

Have played through the entire game once and am now going back to increase my number of stars on some levels. Although the game does not give lots of hints or instructions, it does allow endless "Try Again" at each level. It didn't take me long to figure out what was needed or how the various power boosts can be earned. Also, being able to switch mid-game between Normal and Relaxed made it possible to move beyond particularly tricky levels. The story is a bit unnecessary, but otherwise I'm enjoying this game!

I am really enjoying this game but there are a few things that could be improved. First of all some directions. There have been several times I really had no clue what I was doing. Second, it would have been better if the hidden object quests were separate from the game.
I played on relaxed. Glad I chose that not limited moves- and yes, you do have a choice.
Be careful about choosing power-ups. ...Show more

Be careful about choosing power-ups. On one level I had the ice cream cones and they were so busy blowing things up it was hard to get the matches of five I needed.
Overall a fun game. Show less

I am really enjoying Arctic Story. I am playing a relaxed mode. I like how one can play a one-star level again to get extra coins. I found it is important to pay attention when they tell you what to look for or do to win the level. It is not always the same. The changes help to give the game a nice variety.

I recommend this game!

This game is really cute. I'm playing on casual mode, and it's fairly easy, even a little boring. I'm guessing it's challenging on the expert mode. It's a typical match-3 game, nothing out of the ordinary. I think kids would have a lot of fun with it.

I recommend this game!

This game isn't fun when the bonuses go crazy and play the game for you. You just sit there and watch it happen. Someone needs to come up with some Match 3 games besides this kind with some imagination along with it. Why would I buy 20 of this type of game when they are basically the same same same.

Cute pics and music but can't get past level 6 even if I think I've met all the criteria, I can't get enough points to get 3 stars, too frustrating when I can't figure out why I'm not getting all the points. I uninstalled this game once before and now I remember why, also there are not enough directions as you go up in levels.

First, I hate limited move games. Second, there is nothing "relaxed" about multiplying and morphing items that have to be defeated or eliminated to reach the goal. Third, one cannot make any moves while items are dropping or morphing or multiplying. These things take the fun out of this game for me. It is a little on the juvenile side as well. Too bad. I'd love to find a new match 3 game.

This is another sticky sweet Match 3 game by the developer whose slogan is "We create free-to-play games and entertainment projects" I could probably just end my review right here because that slogan says it all, right?

This is another sticky sweet Match 3 game by the developer whose slogan is "We create free-to-play games and entertainment projects" I could probably just end my review right here because that slogan says it all, right?

These particular Match 3 games have all the features I dislike and none that I like. They are all based on Limited Moves, the tiles are big and quite colorful, as you'd expect in a candy-sweets related game. You begin the game with Tutorials that can't be opted out of, at least I wasn't able to find a way. I hate it when tutorials force you to use a booster they have just given you or force you to make a specific match just to show you how the game works when clearly there are better options available. To make matters worse, the levels themselves are always familiar because they are recycled from one sugary sweet M3 game to the next.

One of the biggest drawbacks these games have for me personally is that you can't continue to make consecutive matches back-to-back. You have to wait until all the tiles finish falling before you can continue. Once you complete a level, any unused moves will be added to the board, and you have to wait for an eternity as the game finishes out all the possible moves and the boosters and power-ups explode before the score tallies up. Then you have to wait again, as the game moves on to the map section, adds the star scores to that particular level icon and hops to the next level icon. This doesn't allow the game to flow in my opinion.

Large matches will earn a Bonus Icon to the board, and these bonuses can be combined to make a larger explosion. A Match 4 gives you a color-specific Horizontal or Vertical Line Busting Penguin. A Match 5 gives you a Rainbow Penguin to remove all tiles of the same color matched with. T or L shaped matches will give you a color-specific Penguin Bomb to explode and destroy adjacent tiles. Boosters will be unlocked as you progress, and must be added before starting the level. If you run out of moves before the goals are completed you can use the coins earned to buy additional moves...just like a free-to-play fb game.

I've never been a fan of mobile Match 3 games that play themselves, but I really don't understand why the mobile version is free but the PC version isn't?

I found this game to be too simple and it wouldn't let me skip the tutorial. May be good for a young child but I would not recommend it for an adult.
