This is absolutely the best game I've every played. I like it so much that I'm actually filling it in as my favorite game on the reviews I post. I'm also seriously thinking about playing it over again, maybe more than once. I've already contacted the company to see when a sequel is coming out; they aren't sure yet as they are still getting feedback from this game.

This is absolutely the best game I've every played. I like it so much that I'm actually filling it in as my favorite game on the reviews I post. I'm also seriously thinking about playing it over again, maybe more than once. I've already contacted the company to see when a sequel is coming out; they aren't sure yet as they are still getting feedback from this game.

I have never seen a Match 3 game set up this way. Instead of switching tiles to make matches, you draw lines through adjacent tiles to remove them. And the tiles don't have to be right next to each other, they can just be touching at a corner. The longer string of tiles you can connect, the more points you get. I did one string that went almost all across the board, lacking 1 tile on each end to go from side to side. Adding to that, the line was not straight, but wandered up and down and around so it was actually longer than the length of the grid. This is so much more fun than the standard Match 3 arrangement.

The game includes HOS and a shooting gallery game. These are nice breaks from playing the Match 3 all the time. The HOS are not difficult and I required no hints on any of them. The shooting gallery game wasn't too hard, but I'm just a little slow with the touch pad so couldn't get a perfect score.

As you play the game, you earn points. After completing a location, additional points are awarded for not using all the allowed moves and for the number of tiles connected. Using the points you win, you can purchase power ups. These power ups can be upgraded to a maximum, using, again, the points earned during play. For instance, upgrading the power up that clears a row or column gets you to the point that both a row and a column will be cleared when you use it. Prior to upgrading, it will only clear a row. Upgrading a bomb means it will clear more adjacent tiles.

I earned plenty of points to be able to upgrade all the power ups to the max. I did run out of moves a couple of times, before I could upgrade the power up for that, and before I learned how to use the other power ups judiciously. This just requires you to replay the grid.

I was sorry the game ended, even though it lasted a long time. Lots of locations. But I also kept playing it until I finished it because I liked it so much.

If you aren't an American West culture fan, then the theme and storyline of the game may turn you off. And perhaps it won't be challenging enough for some players. For me, the novelty of the way tiles are turned was enough to keep me interested well beyond the end of the game. Show less

I recommend this game!

I am not a wild west gal, & after some of the reviews, tossed up whether to even try the demo, but I really enjoyed this game.
I speed read the comments by the sheriffs etc, which tell the story as you progress ie robberies & bad men, the HO wasn't (so far) too gloomy to see, & I just love to zoom all over the board, with as others describe as dragging. I just consider it as drawing lines, which in my book is more fun than the usual match 3 methods, & faster. If I hadn't read reviews stating the moves being numbered (enough to put me off, usually), I wouldn't even have noticed. You do get a warning sound when down to last 5 moves, & you can buy power ups, but I have managed without these so far (about level 18)
I loved the shooting the baddies & the way each level finishes.
The music wasn't un enjoyable, & the demo was over too quickly, so I just had to get the game, so I could keep going - probably all night !!! :) Show less

I recommend this game!

I have played a bunch of Match 3 games throughout the years, but this is the best overall game of this type I have ever played. It was so much fun, I have played it numerous times and still get the excitement of the first time I played it. Looking forward to the sequel or sequels, hopefully!

I recommend this game!

The "Wild" Bill Killwood has arrived in Dodge City to prosper the easy way, by stealing it! Sheriff McColt has asked for Marshall Maverick's help catching this notorious bandit, but the West is Wild and Bill Killwood is even wilder. To nap this bad boy, you'll need to search Hidden Object Scenes for clues, and Match 3 games to earn some money.

I would have loved this Match 3 game if it wasn't a Click and Drag type match game which is my least favorite, requiring you to click on one tile and drag a continuous line up, down, left, right and even diagonally to match as many tiles as possible, within Limited Moves. You will earn more money for large matches and if the chain is really large, you earn a stick of dynamite at the end of the chain which can be used by clicking it or including it in another chain.

This game reminds me of Golden Trails a little bit, which even has a Bandit Shooting Gallery game very similar to GT. You can purchase power-ups in the Shop, and upgrade the power-ups as well, however, you will have to reload them once you use them:

Tomahawk which removes horizontal and vertical lines.
Lantern which destroys a 5x5 square.
Rifle which destroys 5 random chips.
TNT which destroys the entire board
Dynamite destroys chips in a 5x5 cross
Bomb destroys a 5x5 square

There are the typical obstructions, Wooden Crates, Chains and even Double Chains to break by making matches of the same tiles chained or making matches near the obstructions. I think this would have been an awesome game if it were a regular Match 3 Game, enjoy partner! Show less

Not the longest match 3 game I've played but it was refreshingly different and fun. Started out really easy and I thought its a good thing I got this 1/2 off, but like most match 3s it did get a bit more challenging and you did have to use some strategy as far as utilizing your power-ups.

Easy to win money to buy your power-ups and a different twist on playing the match 3 process. HOS strung out throughout and quite a bit of dialog which you can skip my just clicking. Lots of gun-play so if your sensitive to that you may not like it...I thought it was a refreshing kick in the pants for an enjoyable, easy going match 3.

No timer, but you do have to do it in a VERY generous amount of moves. Show less

I recommend this game!

The unusual thing about this game is that it allows diagonal matching, so although it has square tiles it has even more choice of moves than games with hexagonal tiles.
Limited moves means you need to think, but without time pressure.
A chain of at least 8 is needed to generate a bomb on the board, and sometime I made a chain of more than that without reward - perhaps it depends what type of tiles ...Show more

A chain of at least 8 is needed to generate a bomb on the board, and sometime I made a chain of more than that without reward - perhaps it depends what type of tiles the chain is made of?
Of the powerups you can buy the only one I find to be much use is the axe, as you can choose where to use it - the others all take out random tiles, though the rifle can be helpful.
There is a map showing your progress through the game but you can't replay levels, just have to start from the beginning again.
All in all it's a game which could have been better, but as soon as I completed it I did start over again so it must have something! Show less

I recommend this game!
