An interesting game that is more than a match-3 clone. It is a candy bar.
You can bite it in a minute, but it can potentially be savored for hours.

Merge & Blade
Awesome game^^ I saw a preview for this game a bit ago and added it to my wishlist. I LOVE merging things and tetris. This has the same kind of feeling. I love the sounds they use and its satisfying when I make a major merge. I also like that the characters can be upgraded and that there are other upgrade features. Some levels are simple while others offer a bit of a challenge/need to have a little strategy to get where your going. Overall its very fun. Kudos to everyone who worked on this^^

I totally recomend to buy this game if you want a relaxing game to play while you listen to a podcast or drink some coffee, but despite of this there are some things that need to be taken in count before you but it:
-The campaign mode it’s just a succesion of levels there’s not a lot of story on the game.
-The gameplay mechanics are really good and fun once you get into them, but there’s a moment on the game where the upgrading mechanics become quite badly balanced and unfair for the player.
-The game in general isn’t difficult, but there are a few moments where it spikes brutaly making the player get stuck for like an hour or two in a level while quite literaly after you get past those spikes you have to play 2 or 3 levels that you could beat without caring too much about the strategy aspect of the game.

fullybroKEN - A Unique Mix of 4X / Post-Apocalypse / RPG / Roguelike
Overall I think the game has tons of potential, but I think that it still needs some time to iron out some of the flaws it currently has.But as it is early access I am hopeful the flaws will be fixed.
Overall
+interesting challenging gameplay
+roguelike elements that improve the game general post-apocalyptic/survival feel
+replayable
+interesting use of match-3 mechanics
+potential to be a great game
+innovative gameplay
-not quite there
-emergent narrative is still lacking(but as I understood the developer is working on it)

Fast paced and fun, a bit too challenging sometimes(maybe the dev can balance it better?). I didn’t had much chance to play and the game is in need of some bug fixes polish and as I understood content additions, but I do hope that during the early access the game will become only better.

The magic of three
The Magic of Three - is a hybrid puzzle platformer and match 3 genre. If you love puzzles, then this game is for you.
#### Plot The magical civilization of stone golems had a trouble, a huge tornado reached their settlement and scattered all the knowledge and wisdom accumulated over the centuries throughout the area. All this was stored on stone energy spheres, or as the golems called them, “Spheres of Knowledge”. Many turned out to be in inaccessible places for this civilization. But one young golem with a special gift decided to return what was lost.
#### Features of the game
-
Using the skills of the golem and mechanics 3 in a row, you have to complete levels and collect all the “Stone Orbs of Knowledge”. For the FULL passage of each level, you have to use your brains, because not everything is so simple.
-
On a level, you can always rewind time. In case of a mistake, you don’t have to go through the entire level again. =) Just press the magic “Z” button. And everything will return to normal. So you can not be afraid and calmly experiment.
-
As you progress through the game, you will discover new abilities and new objects, enriching the levels with new colors.
-
For each level you can get 3 medals!
1. For passing the level. (This is usually not difficult if you do not complete the rest of the tasks)
2. For the collection of all stone spheres.
3. And for points.
If you are looking for a colorful, light atmosphere and at the same time challenging puzzle, then “The magic of three” will be happy to provide you with its own world, a world full of puzzles.
Puzzle Forge Dungeon
Puzzle Forge Dungeon is continuing to develop into a fun, unique experience that I’ve never really been able to explain to others. I’ve also never really seen any game like it before - save its precursor, puzzle forge 2 on the app store. It’s a bit of a puzzle-RPG-slight roguelite, and its a ton of fun.

Doodle God: Mighty Trio
I really like the game but it needs a better explanation of the moves or like a menu you can pull up describing the moves. You forget what some of them are the longer you play but also some of the moves dont work the way you would think they should. For example in level 82 it says “combine bonuses under finger to progress the level goal” and it has a highlighted move for you to try and show you how it’s done. The highlighted move is 3 elements in a straight scross line but 2 of them are glowing with this symbol + you connect them and it counts for the + move and then your level starts. Everytime I have tried to replicate that it does nothing which is so frusterating!!!! I have tried it the exact way even on top of rocks like in the example and it does not count as the move!!!! It makes no sense. The only way I am able to get those moves done is by total accident and it asks you to complete that move in multiple levels and multiple times per level and I can’t get past the levels with that move unless it accidently happens when other things around the area are exploding. I don’t know if it is a glitch or if I’m doing wrong and just don’t know because there’s nothing for me to go off of except the one litle example that doesn’t show you much. If it’s not a glitch hen there should be a way to EXPLAIN the moves in more detail in a move menu or something you can pull up that describes it with words so you can understand it better because it is very frusterating to do what it shows a ton of times and it not count. or even just make it so you can click on the move you don’t understand or remember in the left panel and a description of that move pops up on screen for you.

So i’ve been playing for 4+ hours and i can say between some loading time or waiting queue, this game has been made to make you do something while waiting on another game.. Or sometime you can just launch this game and if you are into it you will forget to get some sleep :D
Pros :
Beautiful
Can be a bit difficult (and i like it so far)
Unlimited Life (Don’t know if its intended or a bug)
Alchemy who require some logic. (How to make some Elements (like Sun, life, lava etc etc))
Cons :
The Roulette Wheel (Maybe not a cons but the bonus are too low at the moment but 1 try is free for every level so you can use it if you want)

Faerie Solitaire Dire
Original, positive review, left unedited:
I absolutely LOVED the previous Faerie Solitaire games (having played them several times through and would still go back for more) so this game was an immediate purchase! The game is in Early Access.. with not all of the story/items/etc available as of yet.. but that hasn’t dulled the enjoyment of it at all! I’ve played what is available from beginning-to-end almost a dozen times as of typing this. It’s such an enjoyable, not your standard “run of the mill” solitaire game. I’ve browsed through the forums on here for the game, and the developer is very active there should any problems arise (as well as taking suggestions during the games development). I look forward to the rest of the story being added, and of course being able to collect/hatch all the adorable pets as well! I highly recommend picking up this game to add to your collection! :)

This is a great solitaire game! They have some tricks up their sleeves to prevent us from winning such as cards that are covered by dirt and slowly appear when we make matches until the dirt is all gone and the card is usable. In later levels they have the same thing but if you don’t match it when it’s usable then the dirt reappears for every move you make that’s not a match, like clicking through the card deck. So it’s difficult to clear that card because you have to have other cards that can use it and at the right time. Another thing is a card that is blank but with a number that counts down every time we make a match until it gets to zero and flips over and is usable. Then there’s a stack a cards covered by a strange colored backing and the way to clear it is to uncover another strange glowing card back and click on it to clear the other one. For help, occasionally you get some wild cards that can be used and then select any card on the tableau to clear it. Wild Cards are very useful when you run through the entire deck and still have a card or two to clear.

Force of Elements
This game was really good - even with the simple system to match gems/colors like so many games besides Force of Elements have… with the skills and the tricks to maybe make a weak move to prevent enemy to get a even better one in the next turn it was a often fun and you needed to be clever.
Then the patch came - Sparky went to be announced and implemented and now the game is rigged. Why ? Sparky is hard to beat, its a OP-character: He has a normal skill which gives the opponent 2 turns less out of 5 in unranked mode (40%!) or 3 seconds less (30%) in ranked mode, here are 10 seconds per turn. This skill is overhelmded OP because you can cast it every turn - I lose 80% of my games to Sparky and also I win 80% of my games when I use Sparky.

Keep Coming Back For More
A very enjoyable Match-3 game with single-player and verus modes, Force Of Elements is addictive. Some people compare it–for better or worse–to a mélange of Candy Crush and Bejeweled. I honestly can’t say because all Match-3 games are so similiar it’s impossible to determine who’s impersonating whom.
So what does Force of Elements have going for it?
-
It’s free. Which is absolutely awesome.
-
Pretty accurate and speedy matching system in versus mode

Rocco’s Island: Ring to End the Pain
I’ve seen hundreds of 3 match puzzle games so far, many of which are mostly similar and plain.
but this one is quite different from those I’vvveeeee played.
I was wondering how 3 match puzzle game fits into the story based adventure.
The 3 match game itself, it wasn’t like that challenging, or very sophisticated,
but it’s very well balanced, which made me want to play again and again without having to get super bored and tired.
And it is well connected with the main adventure game (using items I got from adventure game play/ Gates closed I already opened when i failed)-this was an obviously new experience.
– Real player with 24.2 hrs in game
In short: I highly recommend this game for both puzzle lover and adventure lover.
Actually I am match-3-holic, but in mobile game industry there are only boring games which makes me play annoying puzzle stage again and again without any motivation. But this game is different. There are adventure, many attractive characters, lovely (but still annoying, that’s okay ;)) puzzles, and so on! Why other game developers did not make the game like this?
This can be the reason because the game is in early access period, but I slightly feel this game is not complete yet. but I believe that developers will do hard for this, and I cannot wait adventure toward blocked area!

BloodGate
I like it… a lot!
This game on steam sale was a freakin awesome deal…
It took my attention after i’ve read a few kind words about it on some game sites comments section.
It’s simple yet requires some skill.
It’s nothing new yet feels fresh and addictive.
Don’t let the puzzle element deceive you - i’ts preety fast paced (backtracking 1 chapter can make you kill mobs in few seconds or even oneshot them, but the tempo sometimes backfire’s, so you might get smacked in an blink of an eye (helloooo spikes spell -,-).

An interesting game, though it has a lot of issues. The main ones are
- max Level 40
This is especially important for leveling. You will only get 20 Points to level up your skills (the other 20 are for unlocking them). After that you need to collect gold, lots of it, especially for the high category skills, where a level can easily cost a 6 digit number
- dueling
First problem: Most duels are “bot duels”, you fight against the char of your opponent, which is controlled by a “bot”. It clearly has issues with some of the configurations players use, making them lose fights they shouldn’t
