Eleven Islands

Eleven Islands is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a lazy, cheap cash grab. It's a routine mobile ported match-3 game. Matching three or more of the same symbol causes them to vanish, changing the grid and progressing the game. As with most mobile apps, there's a simplistic interface, locked/unchangeable screen resolution, next to no customisability, and somewhat low resolution graphical assets. All of this puts this game below minimum standards for a contemporary PC game. As gamers, we don't spend thousands on gaming rigs to pretend they're iPhones. Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. On Steam, this is a ridiculous $5 USD, on app stores, it's free. Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay a premium for a free mobile game just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers.

An OK match 3 game with 100 levels. Only issue I had was that very rarely some tile would disappear but it was still completely playable. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (5.0-9).

It is a very straightforward game... and offer 3 modes: relaxed, timed, limited moves. Some of the levels will require you to use the boosters to reach tiles that cannot be destroyed by any other means; however, instead of using coins to buy them, you need to match enough of specific elements present on the board to recharge a given boosters. Stars you earn when completing levels allow you to restore islands to their former glory. Not particularly original, enjoyable, but gets somewhat monotonous. 6/10

If you want a Match-3 that doesn't make you feel like you are playing a pay-to-win game, this is great. If you want anything more than that, don't bother. The "plot" aches, it is so bare.

The game is great! It's simple, colorful, and addictive. For such a low price, it's top-notch, and you can chill out for the entire evening. The music is pleasant, the visuals are cute, and your head can rest. Grab it before it costs less than a cup of coffee.
