This is obviously a different twist on the Kitten/Puppy sanctuary stuff, so what's the main objective? You're not going to be keeping/collecting a castle full of ghosts, right (though that could be fun!) So do you collect/power up different spells then? Is that what I'm seeing in the video? stormyspop1 Well-Known Member May 22, 2013 125 0 0 #3 stormyspop1, Oct 26, 2013 I love match 3 games. I checked out the lite version and I liked it. It has a quirky story and high quality graphics. This is the same dev who made Kitten Sanctuary and Darkside. You have my $1.99...... Clockwork Pixels Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2012 120 1 16 #4 Clockwork Pixels, Oct 26, 2013 Ha, no ... instead of a sanctuary, there's a story ... which took about the same amount of development time as there's 40+ cut-scenes. The game has some extra level types (compared to Kittens/Puppies), things like rotating lock levels, dropping items off the game board & battles. Talismans are filled by making matches (longer matches fill them more quickly), it's these that are shown in the video Thank you. Glad you like the game ... and the graphics! I've had some 'too cartoon-like' feedback, so it's good to hear. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #5 metalcasket, Oct 27, 2013 George makes the absolute best frickin' Match 3 games out there. If people stopped playing shit like Candy Crush and played this, Kitten Sanctuary and Puppy Sanctuary instead, the world would be a better a place. Give this game some love people!

Also, "too cartoon-like" is bull. The graphics are purr(sorry, wrong game :3)-fect. chris1a Well-Known Member Mar 10, 2010 1,335 1 0 Sweden #9 chris1a, Oct 27, 2013 It has been quite a while since a quality match-3 dropped on the AppStore, hasn't it? So bought, and I likey! High production values, varied goals throughout. One minor thing tho, I hear the swoosh sound and the 3-note sound that pitches higher the longer chains you get going, but I can't hear anything when actually matching gems, put a gentle short bling-ish sound (or something similar) and have the 3-note as is for the chains. Thanks Clockwork Pixels. dominici Well-Known Member Mar 8, 2010 50 0 6 Librarian Australia #10 dominici, Oct 27, 2013 After the disappointing mercenary mess that was Marvel Puzzle Quest, Vampire Ventures was exactly what I needed to cleanse the palate and restore my faith in those who still know how to make a quality match 3 game without fleecing its customers - well played, sir! slewis7 Well-Known Member Apr 6, 2011 3,768 41 48 Male Retired! Houston, TX #11 slewis7, Oct 27, 2013 Thanks for the lite version; it only took me trying one level to purchase the full version. This developer just makes good games! Lazer Kat Well-Known Member Sep 29, 2013 2,596 0 0 #12 Lazer Kat, Oct 27, 2013 Playing lite version now. About to buy full version. Great game. I'm just going to give you my honest opinion: This is one of my favorite Match 3 Games in the App Store and I've played just about all of them, but the app icon is really bad and will cost you sales. People judge a book by its cover, and in the overcrowded App Store the cover is the icon and if it isn't nice people look elsewhere. Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #13 Gabrien, Oct 27, 2013 Agree some sort of sound effect is much needed for making a match. So much of the satisfaction gained from these types of games is aural. That aside, the game is excellent as expected, even if the sense of "been there done that" none the less pervades, and I can't help wishing for a Match-3 game that thinks more outside the box and feels more original and inspired. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #14 metalcasket, Oct 27, 2013 Last edited: Oct 27, 2013 As far as I'm concerned, I'd been secretly wishing either Puppy or Kitten Sanctuary would have been released on Android ever since I picked up a device, so having "just another Clockwork Pixels Match 3" on Android is more than what I wanted. I do see how having all 3 of them on one device and wanting something a little more out-of-the-box may make sense though. Still, I may double-dip for my girlfriend and her iPhone. Totally worth it. EDIT: Just wanted to mention that even though the opening post mentions Halloween and the overall theme of the game fits in with it, this isn't a "seasonal" game that you're going to shelf in a week. Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #15 Vovin, Oct 27, 2013 Yeah, I agree with all above, this is a great match-3 game! Lots of content for just 2 bucks, high production value and addicting gameplay. George did it again, congrats! Finally a new fix for my match-3 addiction. Lazer Kat Well-Known Member Sep 29, 2013 2,596 0 0 #16 Lazer Kat, Oct 27, 2013 There's two things, in my opinion, that keep this from being a 5-Star game (as it is its at least a 4 or 4.5) 1) the sound. As mentioned the game desperately needs new, more powerful sound FX. When you get big combos especially. Until I went in and tweaked the sound settings I could barely hear the swipes wearing headphones. 2) If it switched orientations it would make the blocks larger, and would be easier to play. I often times mis-swipe because of the small blocks. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #17 awp69, Oct 27, 2013 Thanks for this post. Thinking I may get this on my Nexus 7. Loved the lite version on my 4S, but the tiles are a bit small and think it would be more fun on a bigger screen. Would love to see Darkside ported to Android too! redribbon Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2010 2,799 53 48 entepreanur,programmer #18 redribbon, Oct 27, 2013 no need to doubt the quality from this dev. love darkside and also kitten sanctuary. will definitely buy this game for my wife since she's been stuck with stupid candy crush and hayday like forever. Alex Wolf Well-Known Member Dec 5, 2010 585 3 18 #19 Alex Wolf, Oct 27, 2013 Are there any other match 3 games like scurz scallywags, cave quest and games like this on the appstore?
