I know everyone here expected me to review this game from day 1 because I'm playing it all the time and it's completely obvious why - this.game.fucking.rocks.
The game is played in facebook. Iphone and Ipod Touch users (the many unoriginal and similar looking lot of you) are also included in the fun.
How it's played:
The level starts with the gems nicely lines up in a grid for you. Like this:
Player next get to swap the positions of the gems to create 3 of a kind. When this occurs, the gems disappear from screen, points are awarded and new gems fall from the top to fill up the grid as the rest of the gems move down to fill the void.
At certain times, special gems are generated. The following is possible:
- When 4 gems line up, a flaming gem is produced which denotes and destroys the gems around it when detonated.
- When 5 gems line up at a right angle, a supercharged gem is produced which takes out the entire row both horizontally and vertically when detonated.
- When 5 gems line up in a straight line, a hypercube is produced. When a player swaps a hypercube with another gem, say a green one, all the green gems on the board will be taken away.
Here's an example of a flaming gem exploding:
And here's another one of a hypercube going off:
At the end of the game, the points are tabulated and a score is shown. The scores are tabulated against the high-scores of other players also playing.
Why it's fun:
The game is particularly engaging because of the simplicity in how it's played. Also, as the player has to obtain the highest score in 1 minute, the game is fast paced and exciting. Further more, the game is accompanied by extremely awesome sound effects.
There's only so much I can write about this beawesome game. So, go play it and experience the fun for yourself. (Except Weiwen, you need to srsly get facebook first.)
Rating: 9.7/10
