A twist on Match 3 and Hidden Object games!
Instead of the usual match stones and win scenario, you have to match runes, break up the scenery to found the hidden jewel and coins on each level, find the power-ups, and move the character through the unmatch runes to the the next portal so it becomes a maze as well. Each level gets a little tougher and some have more than one solution which takes you different direction on the map. You talk to other characters who give you clues to help you to the next level. I really enjoy this game and would recommend it to other players!

Unique Match Three
This is a unique match three game and that's hard to say about any of them. I wish I could find more like it. Instead of clicking on existing matches you move the stones around to make matches and move a cute little fur ball guy through the screens. It starts out easy and progressively gets harder. It has really cool power ups (bombs, rockets lightening, etc.) and each screen is different. There are 117 levels, 4 of which are only revealed by finding all 300 coins. I have played this game over and over again and still love it.

Annoyingly addictive!
Here you match three balls of the same colour (rather like Oriental Dreams) in order that they explode. When they do explode you blow up surrounding scenery such as trees, houses and land. Underneath you find coins, gems (of which you need to collect in order to complete the game) and from time to time there are fellow furry creatures to speak to. Having spoken to them secret levels open up. It can become quite boring but something makes you keep going back to it. The graphics, although dated, are easy on the eye and the game play gives a strategic edgy to this game.

Cute Little Gem
I played this a long time ago on a demo and so when I finally found it here on BFG, I snatched this one up!
There are so many levels, including secret ones you must find, you'll be playing for hours on end! This isn't your typical match-3 game. A great deal of strategy is involved while you destroy objects along with the tiles to advance to the next level. As you move along your map you earn power-up's like dynamite, bombs, magnets and the like to get through each level. It's very challenging because at times there's complicated mazes. But don't panic, because your not timed!
This is perfect for the whole family. It has cute little characters along the way that give you riddles to help you succeed. Once you finish, you'll want to play it over and over again, it's that addictive!

Great variation on match 3 games
This is the best take on match 3 games since Luxor, and it might give the old standby a run for its money.
On the other hand, there is the issue of eyestrain. You MAY get that. I did get a very painful one, speciallly when it got hard, so I regretfully uninstalled it. But if you can avoid eyestrain, you have hours of enjoyment.

I love this game
This game has many features, strategy, blow stuff up, uncovering hidden items, power ups and much more in an unpredictable outcome depending on what you aim for( ex high score, unlocking extra levels or filling gem board which is good for replay). There are so many levels so its definitely worth the buy. It is full of a large variety of items to use that keeps it exciting (bombs, dynamite,free tiles ect. and treasure chests) Also collecting gems and coins is rewarding and they are hidden (NOT HOG) which makes it so much fun to find. I just wish it had an OPTIONAL time bar to rate how fast i can get to each portal AND reward for clearing the board of landmarks (indirectly there is a SCORE for matching the blocks to clear the way to the portal and SCORE for using ITEMS to blow up landmarks but you don't have to clear them all to exit the level#. But just the way it is is relaxing and fun. As it is, you do have an ace time in the stats to complete the level and you will get score points for time not used but does not affect game play if you go over. The gems and coins do affect whether you will unlock additional game levels but the only problem is they don't tell you if you missed any after playing the level so the only way to make sure is to clear the board. Half the fun is the strategy maze effect of clearing the blocks and landmarks to get to the portal but you will miss your hidden gems, coins and treasure so you have to forfit the time strategy a bit since you are not timed anyway. #they should let you know how many items to uncover at the start of level so you know its ok to finish level or in the stats so you can opt to replay to get them all# It is still addicting and will keep you playing for hours. Especially if you are the type that likes high scores for incentive you will not be disappointed. Even if you are a strategy person like myself it still has plenty to offer. Your level gems might not turn gold, silver or copper on how fast you completed the level but you can compete against the level ace time yourself to clear the board to get that challenge. Or if you want the strategy of the maze, play for fastest time to score the most points for unused time in the stats. I find myself wanting to play this game all the time because I don't like my heart racing to beat up monsters or quick reflexes or a lot of clicking but yet it is satisfying and i can choose whether to compete or not #just not against a time bar but a score). Hope they make a sequel in a time management game.
