Heart of Moon : The Mask of Seasons

Its ok

super bien, très beau jeux relaxant

A linear gauntlet of 200 levels, with only the faintest intrusion of plot along the way. The perfect game for when you need chill vibes. The majority of the gameplay consists of classic match-3 puzzles, with the usual obstacles of ice, chains, boxes, etc. There are also trap squares that manipulate the obstacles in some way, either by adding them or removing them from the board. Clearing four or more symbols at once spawns an upgraded symbol which unleashes a powerful clear attack when matched. Each upgraded symbol has its own clear pattern; for example: the upgraded scroll clears one vertical and one horizontal line centered on itself, and the upgraded healing elixir clears all other healing elixirs on the board. Additionally, there is a toggle button that lets you rearrange the physical shape of the board if you get stuck. It recharges every ten seconds, and is a very effective and innovative gimmick. Peppered alongside the classic match-3 puzzles are a handful of hidden object screens, spot-the-difference puzzles, match-3 digging challenges, and match-3 fighting battles. These act as palate cleansers to keep the game from feeling too samey or monotonous. Aesthetics-wise, the graphics are crisp, the music is appropriately backgroundy and atmospheric, and I encountered no bugs or issues while running the game. You can choose to play with or without a timer, although the timer is fairly generous. There were maybe five levels total where I had to go back and replay them because I missed a star on my first try. All of the achievements for the game are reasonable, even the 30-second challenge. There are a few levels that are specifically designed with speediness in mind if you trigger the helpful trap squares, and I was able to get a 28-second clear time on [spoiler] level 51. [/spoiler] All in all, if you are looking for a straightforward match-3 game that will give you more than 10 hours of relaxation, this is a solid choice. I got it on sale for $4, and it was well worth the price.
