Engineering - Mystery of the ancient clock

In the Ocean of Games it is not easy today to make something new from a popular Genre. A few days ago i reviewed LEGENDARY MAHJONG 1+2, who brought the Mahjong Genre on a new Level. Another beloved Genre is the Match 3 one. There are so many of them out there, mostly in the typical Stone changing Mode to get 3 or more in a Row to vanish them. So, what can be really new, to put this Genre also on a new Level? Here is your answer. Welcome to ENGINEERING - MYSTERY OF THE ANCIENT CLOCK! Lets short ENGINEERING - MYSTERY OF THE ANCIENT CLOCK to E-MOTAC, well sounds like a Star Wars Droid Name, i know, but it is easier for me. So back to the Game. What makes E-MOTAC different from other Match 3 Games? Simple answer, the Gaming Mechanic. While you have to change Stones to get a Row in other Games, you have to slide Rows horizontal and vertical to get 3 or more together. In this case they don´t have to be a Row. Here it doesn´t matter in what form you bring them together. Instead of stones you have to deal with different clock wheels. A nice effect is, when you bring 3 or more together, they begin to spin. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2934373643 Your main Goal …

[b]engineering: mystery of the ancient clock[/b] is a match-3 from 2009. it's of the line-sliding variety (or whatever it's called), so plays like [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/227580]10000000[/url], [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/290890]you must build a boat[/url], or the developer's own [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2338130/]akhra: the treasures[/url]. the in-game help explains the basics and the story in spotty english, but basically you're collecting parts of a clock. quick actions mean more points, matching bonuses grant more time, score, explosions or whatever. moving a row or column is only possible if it creates a match, which is match-3 101, but it took me a minute to realize here. also, [b]matches don't have to be in a straight line or the usual shapes, any 3+ same-colored connected tile works[/b]. there are [b]2 game modes, mid-level progress is saved in both[/b]. [i]big game[/i] (cute) is the [b]story with 33 levels, each followed by a 'click moving things fast' stage[/b]. ugh... [i]fast game[/i] turned out to be not fast at all, it's endless mode.

Match 3 + unique + UI = A different way to play match 3. Slide each row or column to match 3 or more of the same color. Some gears have special effects. I don't really get the mini game though.
