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...

Great core game, lacks content

Fun twist on Match 3. The playfield is a dungeon map and you can move your character around collecting keys and fighting monsters. But this feels like a prototype. No character progression, only one character, no weapons and very few skills. Doesn't even have rewards for making matches! Each game is a high score run, and once mastered, is pretty easy to accomplish unless you get a string of bad luck. Art is nice and core concept is awesome but needs so much more to make a worthwhile purchase. Swap Sword 2 please!!!

Not really a fan

I found the game kind of dull and repetitive--a combination that doesn't work. Look elsewhere for match-3 hybrids.

Wirklich angenehm

Ich verstehe nicht, wie ein so gutes, liebevoll gestaltetes und ausgeklügeltes Spiel in den tiefen des App-Store-Kellers versinken kann! Richtig super Spiel!

Great game

Fantastic spin on the match three genre with beautiful pixel art.

Addictive Roguelike Swapper

This game is super addictive. Once you beat the game, you realize that the score chase is deep and the strategy is deeper than it first appears. You'll find yourself compulsively playing "just one more run" over and over. This is a perfect bus/train game. I love it!

Rad innovative match three

Love this game.

Grind and get nowhere

Just a frustrating grind to always start over from scratch. Not enjoyable. Progress almost never occurs and it is random at best. Vastly overpriced.

Ugh. Just, Ugh.

...this is not the game you are looking for.

Twist to Match 3

The twist to this matching game creates an experience unlike any other.

I play this game every day

All of you players that play this to the end and stop are quitters. The true challenge is to beat this game with the highest score on the leaderboard. I'm aiming for #1. I'm coming for u skeletromp

Gets better with time

The fun in this game comes after the first time you beat it - finding the strategies to get the highest score possible every play through. Great replayability and worth every dollar.

Save your $

Interesting take on a match 3 style game, but it gets really hard really fast. No permanent upgrades for your characters, making it not really rewarding as you go for how many levels you can pass.

Way too short. Not worth $3

Beat it in 7 mins. Worth $.99 MAYBE.

Super addictive and great replay value

Still playing this a lot. Loving the challenge of pushing for maximum points without taking too much risk and dying ... or ending the levels too early.

A bit tough, but deep and rewarding.

This game is easy to pick up and play but extremely challenging and incredibly deep. It's a strategy game but it's main mechanic is that of a match 3 which leads to a lot of randomness. That can be tough sometimes but it's polished, fun and addicting. Not to mention amazing art and great SFX!! ;)

Disappointed

I'm only giving 3 stars because of how short it is. I loved playing this game! But when it ended after only three levels I was very disappointed.
