✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's unique Connect-3 puzzle mechanics with varied level types, appealing artwork, and standout jazz soundtrack that keeps engagement high. Most find the difficulty well-balanced and enjoyable as a casual time-waster, though some note the game is best enjoyed on sale and frustrate over tutorial repetition when replaying levels. The integrated narrative provides pleasant context for puzzle-solving without demanding deep engagement.
First and foremost, it's a Connect-3 game, not a Match 3. There are a few different level types: match X amount of Y colour, get Z objects to bottom of screen, break obstacles, match next to unbreakable sigils to deceipher codes, and reveal hidden objects only when you also match with a magnifying glass. It's a variation on the usual theme. I'm about 4 chapters into the storyline from about 4 hours of play. Story runs by itself, you're just intermittently playing puzzles that mostly fit an action in the story. Most puzzles are easy to solve, and 3 stars is usually attainable with a little effort. I'd recommend for me, but it depends if you personally like that style of gameplay. It's a nice little timewaster, probably best picked up on sale.10 found this helpful

It's fine, but every time you replay level with a tutorial - game shows that tutorial again.2 found this helpful
This is a fun and moody Match Chain game! The artwork is very nice, and the music is even better. I normally turn music off for almost all of my games (it gets annoying quickly). However, I am still enjoying this light jazz theme. You basically connect as many gems of the same type as you can. There are certain goals to achieve, and once you meet them, the moves left detonate areas of the board. All of this adds to your start level (one to three). The game gives you power-ups, and for ones you don't use, you get them added to your score. I really enjoyed using the power-ups sparingly to get a higher score. I found that part of the challenge of the game. Though the game is not very difficult, it's still quite enjoyable. I payed full price, and I have no regerts (thanks Postal).2 found this helpful
