Et encore un jeu de merde, un !!!

An EXCELLENT Pirate themed Match 3 Roguelike. Item tiles do different things, like move, battle, open locks, etc. You travel, hit a stop, and then Match 3 to get past the obstacle. The further out you go, the better stuff you find. Your ship is constantly sinking, so match buckets to bail out the ship. Eventually, you will lose, you take all of the stuff you find (each one has different star values in several different sections). Use the stars to buy ship upgrades like lower sink time, buckets do more, find more gold, etc. There are many different items to find, so there's a lot of gameplay here. I am really addicted to this one...

Pleasantly surprised. A decent free game with thought. Fun gameplay loop, good vibe music.

Basic match-3 with a pirate theme, I couldn't get this game to run full screen, it only starts in a windowed mode. When expanding the window, the game bugs up, at least on Linux (runs fine in windowed mode, though). Only for this annoyance I'm not recommending it.

Recommended. For free, you get a well made match 3 game that is meant to be grindy and repetitive. The graphics are charming, concept of sailing and finding collectables is appealing and the progression of improving your ship and stats makes you want to do one more run. It wears off after a couple hours though as it is pretty much the same thing over and over without any new game mechanics. If that doesn't deter you, then you'll likely enjoy this.
