I played Rainbow Mystery, Rainbow Web, Rainbow 2, and Rainbow 3. I believe they were the most fun of any I have played lately. I believe they are all sugar cube games. Loved them THANKS!

I recommend this game!

Story value is good.
Once into it, keeps your interest - you become addicted quickly.
Challenge is great - need to be aware where the web lines go.

I recommend this game!

This game is an interesting combination of a hybrid Hangman and Match 3. There is a spider looming over a fairy kingdom and your job is to get rid of the spider and restore the rainbows to the kingdom. The spider theme is reinforced by the fact that the Match 3 game board is actually a spider web.

The semi-hangman part of the game comes into play with a phrase that is shown for each puzzle that must be filled in by removing the relevant letters from the web by the Match 3 process. Once all the letters have been removed, you are done with that puzzle.

The game moves you from the valley floor to the top of the mountain. Solving the puzzles for each step adds a graphic to the location scene. The last graphic in each set of puzzles is a rainbow. For instance, in one set of puzzles, you are building a bridge over a river. Each puzzle solution adds something to the bridge; flooring, guard rails, lights, etc.

Although the location scenes are beautiful, almost picture perfect, the added graphics are rather dark and dull. Even the rainbows are lack lustre. But that is not enough to detract too much from the fun and challenge of the game. To me, good game play always trumps graphics.

As you advance through the locations, the puzzles get harder. The phrases get longer, meaning more letters to find. There are more colors added to the bubbles making it harder to find 3 to match. And sometimes there are parts of the web missing, making some letters extremely isolated.

At the beginning of each set of puzzles, you have 3 lives available to lose during play if you play the timed mode, which I did. Each time you fail to complete the puzzle in the available time, you lose a life and have to restart the puzzle. If you lose all your lives, you are taken outside the puzzles and you have to click back through the menus to get back to where you were. Thankfully, you are returned to the puzzle you were playing when you ran out of lives, not to the beginning of all the puzzles for that location.

This game makes you think and keeps you on your toes. In order to clear all the letters in the available time frame (which is generous), you must think ahead so that you don't miss any matching plays and that you make moves that set up future plays. It takes a lot of concentration, which is why the mediocre graphics are not that big a deal.

There is a non-timed choice of play that would be much less challenging.

I enjoyed this game so much that I kept playing it until I got too tired to make good moves or my eyes gave out. And I couldn't wait to get back to it. As a result, I am purchasing the other 2 games in this series, hoping they will be as entertaining and challenging.

I hope you have as much fun playing this game as I did. Show less

I recommend this game!

Game is so beautiful, and in my stories, Rainbow Kingdom is one of the alien races that has metal ships from space shooter Alien Outbreak 2 Invasion, and one of my favorite races, and about Rainbow Web, game is so beautiful, I love its music and backgrounds, really a good example of alien planet.

I recommend this game!

This is a small (11.5MB) game that delivers a good story (although spiders get a bad rap -lol) and sustained challenging gameplay. There are no bells and whistles, and I really like that. Its refreshingly quiet, and simple, but it gets challenging quite quickly. There are no power ups or reshuffles to fall back on. You rely entirely on your wits.

This is a small (11.5MB) game that delivers a good story (although spiders get a bad rap -lol) and sustained challenging gameplay. There are no bells and whistles, and I really like that. Its refreshingly quiet, and simple, but it gets challenging quite quickly. There are no power ups or reshuffles to fall back on. You rely entirely on your wits.

There is a classic (timed) and relaxed (untimed) mode. The music low in the background is OK, it keeps me alert. Full screen and windowed mode available. I find both quite useful. Graphics are very simple and suit the game.

The only thing I don't like is when the game keeps suggesting moves, if it thinks you are taking too long to decide. There is a visual and an audio cue, and I find it annoying and distracting. Sometimes, especially towards the end, I'd soooo like to be able to knock a ball out (with a power up) to help make a match.

This is the first in a series of 3 games that all have differing gameplay features. This first game is M3 only, but it doesn't feel too repetitive because each new playing field is different and presents unique challenges.

I play late at night because it helps to unwind, and for filling in time between doing stuff. After 6 months its still fun to play. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really liked this game. My only complaint is when you run out of moves, rather than automatically reshuffling the board as other games do, this one takes away one of your lives. The beads are produced randomly which the player has no control over. Why are they then penalized for it? Can someone come up with a way to fix that?

I recommend this game!
