Arrr, mates, I'm not normally a fan of Match 3 games that are only available in a Limited Moves Mode, but this one is pretty fun! I also really liked that you are given the choice to continue playing after completing the level goals if you have any Moves remaining. You can opt to keep playing until your moves are depleted, or you can continue on to the next level, a feature I don't think I've seen ...Show more

Arrr, mates, I'm not normally a fan of Match 3 games that are only available in a Limited Moves Mode, but this one is pretty fun! I also really liked that you are given the choice to continue playing after completing the level goals if you have any Moves remaining. You can opt to keep playing until your moves are depleted, or you can continue on to the next level, a feature I don't think I've seen implemented in a Match 3 game before. I have noticed that just because you have met the goal requirements, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have earned all 3 available Skulls, so you may have to continue playing if you want to earn all 3.

This is a Swap Type, Limited Moves Match 3 game with specific goals for each level, such as making a specified number of specified tiles, making matches on all gold tiles, opening Treasure Chests, shooing away pesky Seagulls who steal your Doubloons or chasing away mischevious Monkeys who will nail down tiles when you aren't looking! There are also various obstacles of rope-bound tiles, wooden crates and various bad-guy obstacles like Jolly Roger Skull & Bones that multiply with every match made.

The Skulls & Doubloons you earn are used to upgrade the Schooner (11 Schooner upgrades), as well as purchase and use Bonuses (9 Bonuses available) The upgrades are percentage based upgrades, and the Bonuses are used during the Match 3 games at your discretion, such as a Hammer or Bombs. You can choose 4 Bonuses at the start of the level, however, you have to pay for the use of the Bonuses with the doubloons you earn.

Large Matches will earn tile specific bonuses on the board such as Directional column or row busters, Bombs etc. but unlike a lot of recent M3 games, the bonuses aren't as obtained and there aren't a hundred of them on the board which practically plays the game for you. Graphium Studio has really impressed me with this game, besides, who doesn't love a chance to talk like a pirate, arrr!?! Show less

I recommend this game!

I love the pirate theme. Cool game as for me. The gameplay is standard, but very stylish graphics. Sound design is also on the level. An interesting story about the adventures of Bobby. I also liked the caravel with improvements.
I will wait for the continuation of the game.

I recommend this game!

Yes, it's another match-3 game, but there are quite a few things that make it different - and fun. I don't usually like limited moves games, but this one is addictive: I find myself re-playing a level just to get the desired outcome.

Because I like relaxed play due to me being a slow person with medical conditions I do not usually purchase limited move games or games without a relaxed mode,however I so enjoyed the demo I used a free game and got it. For someone like me the further you get into this game the more difficult it will become and no longer is enjoyable as the limited moves is a real problem. Some have said it is too easy and child like.I would like to point out we are all different and what is easy for some is not for others. I still enjoy this game but can't see me getting to the end. If developers look at this please. please if you make a sequel give a relaxed level as well as the limited moves. We are not all the same Show less

Match Three Pirates Heir to Davy Jones is a run-of-the-mill match 3 games that I didn’t find very exciting or interesting. I didn’t last more than 4 levels before I decided the game is not for me. I am guessing the game would appeal more to pre-teen boys who are quite taken with a pirate theme.

Match Three Pirates Heir to Davy Jones is a run-of-the-mill match 3 games that I didn’t find very exciting or interesting. I didn’t last more than 4 levels before I decided the game is not for me. I am guessing the game would appeal more to pre-teen boys who are quite taken with a pirate theme.

Perhaps I didn’t understand the mechanics of the game but I couldn’t find an exit button and after several attempts at finding one, I finally hit CAD and exited the game that way.

If you are crazy about pirate jig and cannon explosions you might enjoy this game far more than me. There are some absolutely excellent pirate based match 3 games to be found here at BFG but this isn’t one of them. Heir to Davy Jones seems rather simplistic and light, a very easy game that, as I mentioned earlier, is more suited to younger gamers and that is okay because kids need to have some computer fun time as well. Happy gaming! Show less

Glad I didn't. The first 14 levels I couldn't understand the low ratings. The music is great. The story is really good for a match 3. The amount of bang and pop and fast moving tiles I was getting was really good. I was willing to overlook the limited moves. I was even willing to overlook not being able to make matches while other tiles are falling. Then came level 15. Collect 39 lamps. Ok, no ...Show more

Glad I didn't. The first 14 levels I couldn't understand the low ratings. The music is great. The story is really good for a match 3. The amount of bang and pop and fast moving tiles I was getting was really good. I was willing to overlook the limited moves. I was even willing to overlook not being able to make matches while other tiles are falling. Then came level 15. Collect 39 lamps. Ok, no problem, or is it? After 4 tries, I exited and uninstalled.

You can't collect 39 lamps if you never get 39 lamps to collect. 4 tries and never did get enough lamps to fall. So with limited moves I'm not going to waste any more time on the game. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
