Awesome, still works great!

This old game still plays fantastic on my new phone. No issues. Super user friendly UI, and no ads or IAP. Small file size and good on battery.

I don’t agree with other reviews saying it’s too easy or that it lacks content. Strategy and luck have to align just right for you to win. I’ve come close but haven’t won yet.

The brilliance of this game is that it tracks two high scores: a win score, and a death score. So even if you lose, you get a score to try to beat next time. This keeps you motivated.

And once you win, you get a high score to try to beat next time you win. So you don’t need more content, as some are wishing it had. I find this game perfect as is.

And because it saves at all times, you can just make one move if that’s all you have time for. So you’ll find yourself playing a lot here and there. It’s a perfect filler game for any downtime you have. And because it’s not overly long, it’s not daunting to start over.

This is one of those rare perfect games that, old as it is, still looks and works perfectly. I highly recommend this game. It’s a match 3 with light strategy and some luck. Awesome.

Pretty good...

But it could be SO MUCH better!
Pros: The gameplay is addictive and fun, I love most of the sound effects and graphics and it keeps me on my toes! It never gets boring!

Cons: WAY too pricey for what you get, plus It’s not rewarding - at all! No reward for matching 4-5 items, no boosts or power ups to encourage you, and the boosts they DO offer don’t work out very well. There’s only 3 levels and the tutorial could be a little more thorough. Plus, this game WILL make you rage!!!! It’s incredibly frustrating and I hate the sound of being bonked on the head! It gets stressful very quickly!

The cons are more annoying nitpicks that should be fixed more than anything, except for the price! Make it a LOT cheaper or add more levels and rewards! At least update the game once in a while!

Super Premium Spiel

Ich kann an dem Spiel nicht allzu viel aussetzen. Einmalkauf, keine in-App Käufe, toll gemacht, eine originelle Idee.
Allerdings fehlt mir persönlich der Wiederspielwert.
Es gibt drei "Welten", mit je 4(?) Leveln und 2 neuen Mechaniken (Wind und Eis) und neuen Gegnern, danach ist das Spiel vorbei und der Highscore zählt. Das war's. Nachdem ich jetzt mehrere Male meinen alten Highscore geknackt habe, hat das Spiel seinen Reiz verloren. Ein paar freischaltbare Charaktere, Level oder sonstiges hätte ich noch schön gefunden.

Trotzdem erfrischender Weise ein Premium Spiel ohne Werbung und Schnickschnack, für das vielleicht aber auch 1,99€ gereicht hätten.

Eh ... ok

An interesting game at first. But quickly breaks its own rules like the fire enemies not counting as enemies for matching. It probably wasn’t worth the $3.

Cool Concept

The concept is pretty cool and fun, but it really isn't enough in itself to be worth it in my opinion. Would be so much nicer if there was a mode where you could use your coins/score to upgrade your weapons/skills/characters/etc. and some kind of unlocks would make it so much better...
