League of Mermaids

A decent match 3 game with a little bit of physics mixed in it as the balls you try to match can move around.

League of Mermaids is an entertaining underwater puzzle adventure that introduces an interesting variation on traditional match-three gameplay. Developed by Alder Games and published by Legacy Games, the game combines colorful pearl-matching challenges with physics-based mechanics that emphasize timing, positioning, and strategic thinking. Rather than simply exchanging adjacent pieces, players must consider how pearls move and interact with their surroundings. This distinctive approach creates a refreshing experience that balances accessibility with occasional complexity. Its charming aquatic setting and straightforward presentation make it particularly appealing to casual players seeking a relaxing yet engaging puzzle adventure. The story follows four mermaids named Cora, Mishell, Koh, and Marina, who embark on a mission to protect their endangered underwater homeland. Their adventure establishes a lighthearted fantasy atmosphere, providing context for the various puzzles encountered throughout the journey. Although the storyline is relatively simple and does not feature extensive character development, it serves its purpose by giving players a reason to progress. The mermaid cha…

League of Mermaids is a physics-based match-3 game that takes a genuinely interesting approach to the genre — instead of a static grid, you're dropping balls into dynamic containers where gravity and bouncing determine your fate. Completing levels is manageable, but chasing three stars on each board is where the real challenge (and fun) kicks in, requiring you to beat time limits and hit specific objectives that demand actual strategy rather than luck. That said, the physics can feel slippery and unpredictable at times, and some moves seem to hinge more on fortune than skill, which gets frustrating when you're going for perfection. The story is thin, the mechanics are simple, and it won't win any awards, but as a casual time-killer with a bit more depth than your average mobile port, it's decent — especially on sale.

Okay game, bouncy marbles galore :)

This game is wonderful. The physics are tight. Very addictive. Well Done!

As you can see from how many hours I've spent on this game, I really enjoyed this for casual gaming. The premise is simple, you need to match up different coloured circular gems in order to get them off the board and to clear each level completely. The physics are nice, the gems move well and their weight affects the gems surrounding them. There are a lot of very tricky puzzles where you have to try to get a perfect score by matching special gems, and there is a good problem-solving element to all levels. It's also very replayable as you struggle to get a perfect score n earlier levels which you initially just were thankful to complete in the first place. There are also special gems which allow you to eliminate more gems as you go along, including 'bombs' which explode surrounding gems, ones which destroy a line, and others which destroy all of one colour. The bottomless pit level is one which makes you come back again and again as you try to beat the achievement (haven't yet - so close!) and all in all it's a great casual game with a good deal of variety. Oh and there's some sort of story about mermaids so forgettable that I simply can't remember it at all.
