This is by far the best Match 3 I've ever purchased, which was back in March 2003! Since then I've been back to this one over and over and over, fantastic value for money.

Great game play, fast moving, good power-up's (when I remember to use them).

I recommend this game!

Everyone varies skill & opinion wise, so despite previous reviews finally decided to try it.
The graphics are a bit hard to distinquish @ times as there are so many jewels or whatever they were, with patterns on them to add to the difficulty (in my humble opinion!!) but they were quite pleasant to look at, if nothing else.
There is a scorpion as a time indicator. A bird that rises & that gives you ...Show more

There is a scorpion as a time indicator. A bird that rises & that gives you some indication of how well you were doing as well as a score sheet to tell you how many points, matches you still have to get.
There is an adventure mode you have to achieve before you can play other options eg arcade, puzzles.
This is certainly different & a change from other match 3s, as you have to rotate jewels/spheres L or R to get match 4 & 3 etc, but you also get elements to help you eg fire etc & I think that is the only reason I got as far as I did in the trial.
I must admit that I was ready to surrender, many times & was amazed @ how many points/levels I actually got to, (83,000) until I struck the puzzle level. I did succeed, but it nearly drove me mad - maybe I am toooo old, or something, & perhaps a younger mind may find this more enjoyable. It is certainly challenging. So give it a go, especially if you like a bit of a challenge, but sadly not for me - I did like the theme though, & the music was pleasant. Show less

I recommend this game!

For what? To save the world? To be the only one to do it? No one else is following her? No danger involved? Not much of a story. Lalalalala, I think I'll travel the world, using the directions of one orb to lead me to the other and no one else will know of this once in a lifetime find. Uh-huh, sure, let me know how that works out for you.

This is the most disjointed match 3 game I've ever played. ...Show more

Uh-huh, sure, let me know how that works out for you.

This is the most disjointed match 3 game I've ever played. First, you match 3 as you normally would. Then, you have to rotate balls of 4 various colors to match 3 or more. BUT, you're not told you can rotate clockwise OR counter-clockwise until the level AFTER you've played it. I figured it out before I was told that little tidbit of info. And once you get in the groove of playing that way, it's rotate but with "free" moves. WHAT? I was in the GROOVE. Then, it's click and place to move your balls to create matches of 3 or more and then, it's back to the rotating again. Very strange and very disjointed.

Then the bonuses which you earn as you put pieces of the orb together. I can't even go on, the game gave me such a headache.

Not a purchase, not a recommendation. I need an aspirin. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
