Princess Farmer
Princess Farmer is a match3 puzzle and visual novel game with easy to learn action mechanics and different playstyles that let you breeze through the game or challenge you. All three of the playstyles earn you rewards! The story is played in episodes, much like magical-girl anime, with each lasting between 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your chosen playstyle, your skills, and whether you decide to skip dialogue interactions. Different level goals keep you on your toes and bring a fresh approach to the match3 genre. Dialogue options let you choose how Princess Farmer interacts with her friends, affecting your relationships with them. Make them your BFF and they may reward you with gifts!
Princess Farmer was just an ordinary farmer when one day she woke up under the Gaia Tree. Now through the magic of Mother Gaia, she can hoist up whole rows of veggies with ease to make matches and smash obstacles by herself, in co-op, or even with an AI companion! Something mysterious is happening in the woods and it’s your job to puzzle your way to uncover it! You’ll learn about the world around you as you talk and build relationships with the loveable characters including: Mother Gaia, Garlic, Shoppe Keeper Rowan, and even Bot Bunny!
Make combos! Smash rocks! Win hearts!
Action Puzzle Gameplay
It may look like Princess Farmer plays like modern match-3 games but it’s much more strategic and reaction-based, tasking you with character movement and stack management. You can choose to adjust how you approach your strategy to maximize matches, combos, and smashes. Personalize your playstyle: are you an Action Bunny, a Puzzle Bunny, or a Balance between the two? Level goals range from simple (like score, timed, harvest a certain veggie) to challenging (like fulfilling requests, avoiding matching certain veggies, danger areas). Some levels will pit you up against a (pretty adorable) opponent. But watch out for storms! That’s when Grumpy Block shows up to spoil all your harvesting fun!
Play with a Friend
Sure harvesting is fun by yourself, but why not invite a friend? You can harvest together and even make dialogue choices together as you explore world. With Steam’s Remote Play Together, you don’t even have to be in the same house!
Collect Unlockables
As you play, you’ll earn Heart Coins which you can give to Ro at the Shoppe to collect different Hare Dyes. Charm the characters with dialogue options to unlock new outfits so you can harvest in style!
Charming Graphics
It’s cute! It’s bouncy! It’s pink! It’s retro! It’s BUNNIES!
Vibrant Soundtrack
Produced by Astra, the soundtrack is bubbly, blending chiptunes with lo-fi beats.

5 Star Rio Resort
If you enjoy match 3 games this will gives you tons of hours of enjoyment. 96 levels with powerups to use.
Some levels are VERY hard to get 3 stars, but be aware if you don’t use a powerup from a previous level you bring it to the next, so you can go back and grind for powerups to bring to a tough level.
Level 94 is impossible without saved powerups.

I certainly enjoyed this game very much. It reacts super well to clicks and it is fun to watch the matches fall and combine. Everything is so colorful and beautiful and you get to build a resort and have lots of fun. A few card games are included too, so why not? Music is fun, the backgrounds and design of the entire game are wonderful and of course the clicking and throwing upgrades are amusing too. It is also a pleasure to play these types of games and the games are very much appreciated. Thank you kindly!!! =)))))

Cave Quest 2
I got a review copy of this game for my curator and wrote this a month before release, so it might be slightly outdated.
Cave Quest 2 looks like a pretty run-of-the-mill Hidden Object game, but it’s actually a solid P&C match-3 puzzle adventure. I’m not familiar with the first Cave Quest, but didn’t feel like that was a problem.
This game is easy on the eyes with some really nice backgrounds, though there are no animations for the NPCs and their expressions were sometimes weirdly inappropriate for their text (voiceover only in a few cutscenes). The story isn’t mind-blowing, but it’s entertaining enough and written or translated/proofread by someone who actually knows English.

In this video I take a look at Cave Quest 2, a match 3 adventure.
This game is great! I ended up playing the entire thing including the extra story line. It plays like a point and click adventure only everything is done via match 3 matches, from the travel and combat to foraging and forging. So if you love match three’s your going to love this. The travel matches are particularly good as they offer a different perspective on the match 3. You need to clear tiles to move your avatar forward and the gems will drop in the direction you are moving.

Cave Quest (Match-3)
Steam copy provided for Curator review
One of my most-played match-3’s of all time!
Options include separate sliders for SFX, Music and Ambients, Full-screen, Custom Cursor and choice of Timed (bonus cash~! Ka-ching!) or Untimed (can be changed between M3 levels).
Story
Your family has disappeared in the mountains, and thanks to rumors of dangerous evil spirits, the locals are too afraid to help you search for them.

It’s so hard to find a good match-3 game. This is one of them. Thanks for the nice experience! This game has it all. Including beautifully designed gems which are hard to spot! Story that glues the experience together, smoothness, good professional design, even translation to my language which I didn’t need but it’s ok. Finally a game that I couldn’t take my hands off and felt urge to play on. Good product! Now I pity it’s over.
Criticism: sure to perfection it lacks more compelling story, less artificial or less cliche story, better art - one that would not be so kitchy and which would be less amateurish and a better translation. Thanks to these imperfections the game stays as just no-name game in game history, as it doesn’t bring any cultural contribution. But it’s professionally and well made product anyway. Relaxing and fun enough.

Legend of Fae
Simple in its concept but quite addictive. This can remind of bejeweled or any games using the same gameplay, but with more options. You also have to fight monsters using the attacks you gain by putting elements together (a line or goup of 3 or more tiles). Perfect for when you have just a short period of time to play (Most of the chapters are between 8 and 12 minutes). Cute graphics and story. Easy to understand and play. I have played about 20 chapters so far and intend to finish the game.
You get to travel with 4 elemental spirits that will help you fight along the way. For each chapter you complete, you gain a puzzle piece which you can use to buy upgrades for the spirits/elementals that fights with you. This gives you options to help you win the further chapters and fight more ennemies. You’re also free to upgrade the spirits you want (there is no obligation so you can upgrade only one of them if you want).

An extremely solid gem matching puzzle game. You use the gather mode to match gems for resources, and then use those in the battle mode on the upper part of the screen. The game’s a bit on the easy side for the first leg of the journey as you have little in your repetoire, but once it gets going it’s challenging in a pretty fun way. There does exist the problem of unlucky drops meaning you can’t get the mana you need, but it’s not common enough to be a major complaint.
Getting expert scores in later levels requires gaming the system a bit, but short of one of the more annoying enemy types in one level, it’s usually a case of survival against a pretty tough enemy. If anything, I wish the optional bosses had been more difficult, but the endboss is pretty brutal and an excellent fight to end the game on.

Season Match
A tile-matcher game which has almost no gameplay. Well micro effort gives only micro gratification. But then again microgratification with no detractors, is better than no or negative gratification. With player not being much invested into the game it can’t disappoint.
The gems look fine, but the tiles are kind of ugly. The story art is okay and the story itself is a simple fairy tale. English version has nice fonts, but since the devs are based in russia i chose the russian version and the fonts there are subpar.

The Game Review
Game Visuals
I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game’s option menu.
Game Audio
I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game’s option menu as well.

Azkend 2: The World Beneath
It’s not bad; there are many different power-ups that create some variety and strategy in the typical Match 3 game-play loop, so it’s not an awful chore to play.
Ultimately however, RNG plays far too much of a role in success or failure, and while the main game is eventually beatable (after many tries) the coin challenges eventually become all but impossible. If you’re trying for 100% achievement completion, good luck, because as far as I can tell that’s the only way to attain several of them.

Azkend 2 is a causal match 3 -game. The artwork is top notch and the music is alright.
There is a clumsy attempt at a plot, but in the end this whole “spirit of adventure” thing is just a theme that works well with beautiful images. You don’t get an “engaging storyline”. The woman person just ends up shipwrecked and goes to places that don’t make any sense. And the voice acting is kind of annoying.
The story mode constists of 68 levels. There are some nice special pieces and whatnot, but nothing spectacular. Nothing I wouldn’t have seen before. The gameplay gets a little repetitve at the end and sadly the levels are all quite easy. There’s also a time challenge mode, but after I was done with the storymode I thought there wasn’t much replay value.

5 Star Hawaii Resort - Your Resort
As with most Roka games the graphics are delightful. The music is very fitting to the Hawaiian theme. While I am recommending this game for true match three aficionados, I must say it is very grindy at the higher levels. A few puzzles seem almost impossible to beat with three stars, and you’re pretty lucky to finish with one or two stars.
Of course the building aspect of the resort is cute and fun. I have to admit the puzzles are very well made, but getting stuck and grinding for literally hours makes the game a bit frustrating and unplayable. I’m no expert or whiz at match three. It’s only because of Roka games I learned to be as good as I am. But even with my skill level at least three of the puzzles so far do have me frustrated to the point of wanting to quit the game.

5-Star Hawaii Resort is a fun, mostly relaxing match-3 game with some resort building tossed in. The levels are not consistent in the difficulty, so at times you will finish a level without even realizing it, while other times you may need to replay it multiple times (and I mean multiple!) to achieve 3 stars, if you care about that. I really recommend playing Hawaii Resort BEFORE playing the newer, and improved, 5-Star Miami Resort. Going backwards may be a little difficult as there are no power-ups in Hawaii Resort.

Closing Remarks
-
This game does not include timed levels. You can take all the time you want to complete each level. However, once you complete the game you can try to beat your own times (Royal challenge).
-
You don’t have to play previous DragonScales games to understand how to play. Playing DragonScales 4 and 5 obviously helps to understand the whole setting, but the story of DragonScales 6 holds well on its own.
-
The first levels of DragonScales 6 are really simple. However, the degree of difficulty rises up as you progress. If a puzzle proves to be too challenging, you can always skip the level. Skipping a level does not affect the course of the story. Besides, the game has a single ending.
-
Unlike previous DragonScales games, in DragonScales 6 the power-ups are not entirely optional. For instance, the only way to get the star in Level 3-7 is by using Ribeus power-up.
-
Battles in DragonScales 5 are for wizards. In DragonScales 6 the battle system is different and much more relaxed.
