    Glass Balls iPhone Game

    In the sea of match 3 games such as Candy Crush and Bejeweled, Glass Balls stands out from the crowd. This game from ZF Digital differs from all of the similar games with the unique background and graphics, even if it isn’t too revolutionary.

    Glass Balls is great for users that love match 3 puzzle games and are looking for a fun new challenge. It is great for new users too and it is obvious that the developers put in a lot of work to create a spectacular game.

    Concept and Gameplay

    The concept is well-known, but in this game there are adjustments to make things look more interesting and unique. You need to connect at least 3 game colored glass balls to destroy them.

    The gameplay is thus familiar and it is truly functional going at just about the perfect pace. Glass Balls can really be a great past time as it is smartly thought out and wonderfully implemented.

    In addition to its polished looks, this game is using a great physics engine so the gameplay is terrific. There aren’t any grids (like in 90% of the other match 3 puzzle games) and you can connect the balls in any direction and they can go anywhere.

    Of course, the more you connect, the more points you will get. They’ve done a great job with the graphics and sound, because the effects are indeed amazing and highly enjoyable.

    Features

    Whereas you need to connect three balls to eliminate them, connecting more will earn you more points and there are “special bombs” that will triple or seriously boost your score.

    This game also features 3 different game modes including Classic, which is fantastic. You need to race against the timer and that makes things really exciting, especially as you progress.

    In the Rush mode the glass balls will come up to you continuously and they will speed up gradually. You need to be fast and effective because when the bowl fills up, you will lose the game.

    The Infinite Mode is far more relaxing. You can finish your game and post your score whenever you want.

    This great feature of choosing a game mode depending on your mood is nice. If you think you have achieved a good high score, you can compare it with other players or your friends on the leaderboard where you will find tons of Achievements.

    Conclusion

    Great graphics, unique set ups, cool sound effects, beautiful typography and 3 different game modes are enough to make this one of the best match 3 games for your iOS device. With the additional challenges available in the Game Center, it gets even more entertaining.

    This is definitely not one of those low quality match 3 game reskins; it is a cool, professional and enjoyable game.

    If you’re like me, you enjoy puzzle games because they allow you to immerse yourself in something other than the real world for just a little while.

    However, there’s nothing worse than picking up a new game and finishing it within a matter of hours because the puzzles were too easy or there were too few of them.

    Draw the Line: Wils Adventure is a fun puzzle game that’s definitely challenging for hours on end.

    It’s rare to find a puzzle game that’s both fun and challenging and this one is worth every penny.

    Concept and Gameplay:

    If you’re not familiar with “draw the line” games, the overall goal is to draw lines on the screen in order to help complete a puzzle. In the case of Draw the Line: Wils Adventure, from Andrey Krasnov, the goal is to reunite the main character with his sidekick, Amy.

    One of the first things I noticed about Draw the Line: Wils Adventure is the fact that it definitely features better graphics than the most games in the genre. Generally these kinds of games are cartoony and are almost always designed to look like the player is drawing on a piece of paper and making doodles come alive.

    Draw the Line: Wils Adventure takes a different approach by adding an actual storyline to the game, which means that it’s truly immersing the player in the world of Wils and Amy.

    Features:

    Currently Draw the Line: Wils Adventure only offers single player content, but the developer notes that multiplayer functionality is due to be released shortly in an upcoming update.

    It looks like multiplayer mode will be cooperative, which will certainly make the game more exciting.

    Achievements are another feature that the developer is working on, and users can see this by tapping on the faded achievements button on the main screen.

    Value:

    Draw the Line: Wils Adventure is available to download from the App Store for $0.99 and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad. Everything that’s available within the game can be accessed right away, meaning that Draw the Line: Wils Adventure is truly a “pay once and play” type of game.

    Personally I think Draw the Line: Wils Adventure is worth every penny and anyone who is a fan of puzzle games should consider giving it a try. The game offers hours of fun and players can always improve their score.
