You'd think that there's only so much a young girl can take in at once, yet it would appear that Legend of Fae's heroine Claudia is ready to open her mind to anything. Left on her own and surrounded by bizarre creatures that only she can see, it's no wonder that she's going out of her way to find some answers.
Bejeweled Blitz set a trend for arcade puzzlers on Facebook, giving players one-minute bursts of match-3 gameplay that proved to be massively popular. Now Wooga, already with several solid puzzle games to its name, is attempting to emulate that formula with Diamond Dash. It's a solid and enjoyable effort, though it's definitely lacking when it comes to options.
When developer Rovio first announced a partnership with 20th Century Fox to put out a special edition of Angry Birds to tie-in with the upcoming film Rio, we were a little curious about what that might mean. Would it be Angry Birds gameplay with Rio characters? Would the two worlds come together somehow? And what of the pigs? Now that Angry Birds Rio has finally arrived, our questions have been answered.
So how good is Collision Effect? Let me put it this way: I review a lot of iPhone games - far more than my phone can hope to hold. The ones that aren't deleted - the ones in my permanent collection on my iPhone, rather than backed up in iTunes then wiped off the phone's memory - are few but special. Collision Effect just joined that list.
iWin's Jewel Quest Mysteries: The Seventh Gate, which is due out at the end of the month, is the latest title to combine the gem-swapping match-3 gameplay of Jewel Quest with hidden object gameplay. In this follow-up to Trail of the Midnight Heart and Curse of the Emerald Tear, this time it's Emma's turn to save the family as she searches for her missing husband and daughter.
At this point the term "retro" has lost all applicable meaning, kinda like "HD." Nowadays anything with chunky square graphics is considered retro no matter what the gameplay elements are. I tend to attribute the term retro not so much to games that look like older titles but rather games that PLAY like older titles. Kami Retro has glimpses of these elements, but trades more on its main character being square than it does in old school gameplay.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: there's a puzzle game that's all about matching colors, and despite how simple it is I just can't put it down. Bejeweled, Chuzzle - even Bust-A-Move. That last sentence can be applied to a myriad of classic puzzle games, and yet I'm always surprised when my breath is taken away by just one more - and Liqua Pop absolutely takes my breath away.
Developer Wooga certainly knows how to make a great puzzle game on Facebook, as anyone who has spent time with the incredibly addictive and charming Bubble Island can attest to. And today Wooga has launched its latest game on Facebook, the macth-3 puzzler Diamond Dash.
