This is one of my all-time favorite classic games that I've replayed many times in the past and, will continue to replay, because of its' unique - so far - game mechanic of chains that move the entire section touched -vertical/horizontal- as well as the good power-ups and the enjoyable music.
I recommend this game!

I like all the "Cradle of" games, but this one has a variation on the match 3 in which you have to unite lines of any length. It actually takes some planning to set up a playing board that can be won. As you work higher they get quite a bit harder. I keep returning to this game and always find it fun and challenging.
I recommend this game!

better than the other cradle games. Maybe it is my perspective as trying this one first then the others but I would play bejeweled 2 for a match 3 game I like the chain aspect of this one as well as the added building of an empire :-)

This is by far - the most fun that I've had playing a match 3 game. I prefer the option to drag and link objects compared to the current games where you have to swap tiles to clear objects.
I haven't found a similar game at Big Fish yet ! Keeping my fingers crossed though!
Overall, great fun - for a game newbie!
I recommend this game!

Enjoyed the other Cradle games and this one is a chain game. Enjoyed it--fast moving. I would rather have a different cursor but the cursor speed button helped so it did encourage me to buy this game. If you like chains, you will enjoy this. I recommend this game. Enough changes to keep your interest.
I recommend this game!
