Jewel Match Aquascapes Collector's Edition

[h1] The Dark Passenger’s Deep-Sea Detailing: A Long-Snooted Symphony of Order [/h1] Setting: The entire cast has been digitally digistructed directly into the Aquascapes game grid. The world is a bright, sparkling, sunlit maritime resort made of high-definition plastic wrap and perfectly symmetrical pearls. Massive, chic submarines glide through the crystalline scenery. Standing on a massive conveyor belt are Six Exceptionally Long-Nosed Borzois, each wearing a Miami Metro Homicide ID badge. Dexter Morgan: (Internal Monologue) Most people look at a Match-3 board and see a game. I see a Code. Harry taught me to leave no trace, to make sure everything is perfectly aligned. The Twilight match era was chaotic, unoptimized, and sloppy. But here, in this sparkling, brightly lit maritime mansion, everything is wrapped. Everything is neat. And these dogs... their snouts are the ultimate tools of precision. James Doakes: (Bursting out of a giant, high-definition clam shell) "SURPRISE, SUBMARINE, MOTHERF—ER!" I see you matching those pearls, Morgan! You think you can just glide on these conveyor belts like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ figure skater?! Normal people don't find this much comfort in UI fluidit…

I normally find myself enjoying match-3 style games. They're simple fun. But, man.. I just don't like this. It feels way too gimmicky and the levels are just so unsatisfying to play.

It's coded in such a way that it messes up my machine's graphics settings and won't give them back until it's closed. This seems like an avoidable problem but oh well.

Cannot. Stop. Playing.

undah thee SEA!

It's everything you'd expect from the trailer. Ample match 3 and a bunch of other mini games. Your mileage might vary based on how you choose to play the levels (timed or casual etc) However the guts of the game is fine and there is a lot of content if you want to try 100% perfect all levels. All achievements popper and functionally it ran perfectly fine. Admittedly I did need to force open it initially in windowed mode to set it resolution correctly. I expect that was mostly due to my monitor though. Devs responded quickly when I put it in the discussions tab as well which was nice. As I grabbed it in a bundle I've got no complaints for the price paid and it was a chill game to play whilst listening to podcasts and music while switching my brain off for a bit.
