This developer knows how to challenge you and I always look forward to their games.

For those whom have not played this series before the object of the game is to clear the board

To start, there is no timer, you can take as long as you like. You can choose between match 2 or 3 and what I like about this is you can even change this in the middle of a level. You can even remove the bonuses.
They have added a battering ram and a cannon that you have to hit on the red button to set it off.

This is a very challenging game and may not suit everyone but you can take as long as you like and there is some strategy involved especially as you get further in.
The colors are bright and every level gets slightly harder as
you progress.
By right clicking on an object it will give you an explanation to its function and by clicking the question mark you can review what each item does .

Time for a bit of strategical thinking. Take your time, try the demo and see if you are up for a challenge. Enjoy,I know I will. Show less

I recommend this game!

I own hundreds of games and this type is one of my favorites. I do not care about the storyline but the challenge and visual to get each one. Have been waiting for another game like this and is just about all I purchase at this time. I got this before I played and not disappointed.

I have several of this series and I honestly think I like this one the best. It is really fun and I never hesitated to hit the "Buy" button when my trial time ran out. This is going to be one of those games I play over and over.

I recommend this game!

Good solid game. Clever, lots of bonuses some good explosive sounds. Not the usual kind of match three. It takes some real thinking. Unfortunately, when I play this type of game, I need to relax, not think. I'm happy that this game is out there, but it's just not for me.

I recommend this game!

This is a very interesting challenging game!
There is no timer, you can play as long as you like. You are not in a hurry and can relax after your working day. At the same time you can enjoy the landscapes in the background. The music will calm you down and make you dream. The colours are bright and sunny, which gives you the feeling that you are on holidays.
Take your time and enjoy the game!

I'm not a big fan of this type of M3 game but I was disappointed when the demo ended, was having good fun playing. I like games that require at least a bit of planning, thinking about the next moves I should make. I have plenty of M3 games that don't that I can play any time I only want to relax and click away.

I'm not a big fan of this type of M3 game but I was disappointed when the demo ended, was having good fun playing. I like games that require at least a bit of planning, thinking about the next moves I should make. I have plenty of M3 games that don't that I can play any time I only want to relax and click away.
There were only two game modes: Easy (match 2) and Hard (match 3). I played the demo in M3 mode and survived all levels/didn't have to replay any and I'm certainly no pro when it comes to this type of game. Normally, levels tend to get harder as one progresses through a game like this and then I start having trouble. Since I've only played the demo so far, I can't say if this one gets frustrating or not, if I'll end up abandoning it before I finish it. Game play is nice and smooth; I experienced no technical difficulties.

Yes there are cannons -- a most practical way to get rid of barriers -- but not once did I think of any other M3 game series while playing, didn't think of the cannons or any other bonus as a 'rip-off' of some other developer's game. I can't think of any M3 game that doesn't use bombs for instance, and dynamite is also a popular M3 bonus. There are only so many ways to destroy icons and barriers. I too greatly enjoy a couple of popular M3 series but for some time now, I've found them too repetitive, very, very little new offered with each release -- the two series even resemble each other so much that pretty well the only difference is the storyline. I find this one a refreshing change. Show less

I recommend this game!

I like the idea of this series, but there's no goal, nothing to work toward other than clearing out each level. I would expect a game like this to have something that gives a player a challenge of some sort: finish a level in less than X minutes, or with fewer than Y moves. But no: no bonuses, no rewards, no "grit". Finish a level and move on to the next. Kind of boring, really. I *will* say that ...Show more

There are times when a game such as this will be worth playing, but not very often. Show less

CURSES! SEEMS LIKE THEY USED SOMEONE ELSE'S BRILLIANT MATCH 3 FEATURES

Sure, it's a fun game and I enjoyed playing the demo but unfortunately, I won't purchase the game nor am I willing to give the game more than a couple of Stars because the developer felt the need to take someone else's unique features from another Match 3 game series and use them in their own game as if it were their idea?

Sure, it's a fun game and I enjoyed playing the demo but unfortunately, I won't purchase the game nor am I willing to give the game more than a couple of Stars because the developer felt the need to take someone else's unique features from another Match 3 game series and use them in their own game as if it were their idea? Hit the red mark to shoot the Cannon to cause a chain reaction? Hit the Battering Ram to fire a missile? Clear the Mist? What's next spreading fire, moving coin halves?

You can play in a Relaxed Match 2 Mode or a Challenge Mode which requires matching 3 or more Orbs. The tiles are bright and cheerful although I must admit, I had no idea what some of the tiles were, or what they had to do with a summer theme?

The beauty of this Matching Orb game is that there's no Timer so you can take your time to figure out the best strategy. The playing field has an infinite amount of Colored Orbs located on the Top, Bottom, Right, and Left sides (you can only see the colors of 2 Orbs in each row or column) and the object is to remove all of the Orbs by shooting an identical colored orb from any of the parameters at the Orbs to remove them. As you progress, more Orb variations are added to the field and naturally, more obstacles are added as well. Bonuses appear randomly, but they will quickly disappear if they aren't activated by a moving Orb. You can right-click on each bonus to get a brief description, you can also click on the Question Mark to read about all of the features.

OBSTRUCTIONS:
*Chains~requires a matching colored orb to break the chain(s) another to remove orbs remaining.
*Glass Border~break when hit with an orb.
*Wooden Borders~requires a hit by any orb to destroy.
*Stone Borders~can only be destroyed by Bonuses.
*Metal Borders~cannot be destroyed.
*Glass Cells~break when hit with an orb.
*Wooden Wall~requires neighboring match or orbs.
*Stone Wall~can only be destroyed by Bonuses.
*Metal Wall~cannot be destroyed.
*Side Shield Crates~requires hit by orb on the unprotected side.
*Extra Armor~destroyed when tiles are beneath a neighboring cell.
*Mist!~removed when orbs are matched near the mist.
*Arrows~redirrects the path of the orb.

BONUSES:(appear & disappear randomly)
*Flames~include in a match to detonate an explosion.
*Lightning~destroys all of the same color orbs.
*Bonus Missile~produces 3 missiles to remove 3 random orbs.
*Bonus Bombs~transforms 5 random orbs into bombs.
*Bonus Multi-Orbs~transforms 7 random active orbs into multi-orbs that can be matched with any color.
*Cross Dynamite~destroys orbs in a cross pattern.
*Cross X Dynamite~destroys orbs in an X pattern.
*Mines~destroys neighboring cells.
*Battering Ram~requires a hit from an orb on the back to destroy the object in front of the ram.
*Cannon~requires hitting the red button with an orb to fire the cannon (can be on multiple sides)
*Multi-Orbs-can be matched with any orb.

I would have given this game 4-5 Stars if they would have at least added some new features that were their original ideas as well. I don't appreciate the fact that they used ALL of the same identical features from a very well-known Match 3 game series. That's just not right, I happen to love that particular developer and I know that he works very hard to give us quality games that have unique features that he thought up with his own creative mind...just saying :)
