Classic Match 3 with a Twist
My favorite part about Unwell Mel is the obvious thoughtfulness that went into its creation. (Even if the whizzes at BFG took only 3 hours to make it, the game shows lots of care and expertise.) The music and sound effects, the humor, the premise, every detail is relevant and intelligent. Of all the BFG games I've purchased, this is the only one I keep permanently installed on my home computer. Bring on Unwell Mel 2!

Love this game!
Great game. Humorous, fun to play, lots and lots and lots of levels. I play it everyday! This is the best match 3 game I own and that is saying a lot since I have many games. Try it you'll like it!

DON'T BE TOO QUICK TO USE BOARD HELP
Personally, I found this game to be extraordinarily and unnecessarily longer than most Match 3 games and am happy that I've completed it; there are just over 300 levels with 100 ailments.
I noticed a few things that might be helpful; while there are power-ups that you purchase and upgrade through the salesman, there are also board "helpers" and I suggest that you not be too quick to use them.
* the "x" is a horizontal blaster
* the vertical arrow blast everything up and down a row
* the coins will randomly replace objects and when they dissipate, move the other objects one row down
* the Fresh Start I found good to use AFTER I'd done my best to clear as many tiles as possible on my own. Fresh Start just means that it'll move the objects around; it does NOT mean that you have to restart that level.
The GOOD thing about them is that you're able to move them around as you do the other tiles WITHOUT having to use them until you're ready (then click on them) except for the coins, which will disappear on their own in a few seconds but sometimes you're able to make beneficial moves first.
The BAD thing about them is that they do NOT break and clear the tile for you; all they do is remove whatever object is on that tile that you still need to clear EXCEPT for the yellow bugs -- they will remove the objects AND clear the tiles if they're close enough to the tiles that need to be cleared.
The green bugs are a troublesome sort as they will "expand" until they pop and if you've not cleared them BEFORE popping, they will cause a tile to become a tile that you've got to work on AGAIN to clear.
One of the other bit of GOOD NEWS is that when the pink bugs click together (you have to find a 3rd pink bug or use other means to get rid of them) and leave empty spaces around them, you CAN move objects into those empty spaces if you need to in order to continue playing the level,
Fortunately, this game has timed and untimed modes of play; I don't think that I'd have been able to complete several levels had I been playing in timed mode.

Funny!
The concept is creative. Love the yucky bugs you kill. There are too many special items, especially in the beginning. So for a while, it's mindless clicking without too much strategy to clear the board. But still great, considering how many levels there are, lots and lots! You can tell the developers put effort into this. One of the better match 3 games, in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out.

60 minute trial
I tried this game, but just could not get into it. For those with a mind that can figure out the game play it will be fun.
