[h2]Warning - Asset Flip![/h2]
Wow, this is a tough one.
This game is an asset flip of [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/candy-match-3-kit-111083]Candy Match 3 Kit[/url] by gamevanilla. Since it's a mobile template it was slightly adapted to the Steam audience by more or less making currency obsolete (you just start with tons of lives and gold but they aren't infinite). Oh, and an exit button was added to the title screen although it really doesn't fit in well.
That's already it - but unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you ask) the asset that was flipped is really fantastic. It's $200 on the Unity store and for good reason as it's really a complete, working Match-3 game with loads of levels, powerups, the works. Even though it was made for mobile the graphics are crisp on PC and ... well, I can't really complain even for $5. Sure, there are plenty of cheaper or even free Match-3 puzzles on any given platform but considering this is an asset flip I'm not feeling too ripped off.
Of course it would be even better if the "developer" would have gone through with implementing Steamworks for some achievements - they already included Steamworks.net but never wired it up for some reason or another. Seeing how they "handled" the modifications they [i]did[/i] make I'd wager their Unity/C# profiency isn't too great ...
Anyway, as it is an asset flip and not an original game I'm still giving it a "no" but if you already bought it you at least didn't get a trash game for your money. That's something!
