Last Resort Island

Last Resort Island commits what I consider the cardinal sin of bad match 3 games, in that it largely fails to reward combos and cascades. For example, a significant mechanic is that you need to match different colour combinations in a set sequence to progress a level. So far, so straightforward. In practice, if you need to get a green match before moving onto a red match it will only count your first move of a turn. Literally any matches beyond the first match are completely ignored for the purpose of completing this objective. This means that you spend a lot of time making tediously simple first move three candy combos even when you can see multiple cascades just sitting there waiting to trigger. It's frustrating and it actively conspires against strategic play. Either way, picking a few random match threes in different colours is not especially challenging... or exciting. One of the genuine joys of a good match 3 game is watching all of the cascades of four, five and more matches that you have set up trigger in an avalanche of explosions. In this game, for the vast majority of the time, you get very little credit for cascades at all. Indeed, one of the game mechanics is that…

Last Resort Island is a colorful and imaginative puzzle adventure developed and published by rokaplay that blends match-3 mechanics with light city-building elements and an eccentric narrative twist. Rather than presenting itself as a straightforward tile-matching game, it layers its puzzles within a whimsical island survival story filled with oddball humor and exaggerated scenarios.

Some levels require clearing obstructive tiles, collecting specific items, or navigating around blockers that restrict movement. As the campaign unfolds, puzzle layouts grow more complex, demanding thoughtful planning rather than simple reactive matching. Limited moves per level introduce an additional strategic layer, encouraging players to think several…

Not a fan of match-3 games so I'm not sure why I even have this. They're all the same game with a different themed jacket that is nothing to do with gameplay at all. It's not my vibe but it is what is says on the tin so guess I have to give it some points. 1/10
