The gameplay primarily revolves around classic match-3 puzzles, featuring various obstacles and a unique mechanic that allows players to change the board layout. While the game offers around 14 to 16.5 hours of playtime, it tends to become repetitive after a few hours, despite providing both timed and non-timed modes. Overall, it delivers solid value for its price, especially for completionists aiming for 100% achievements.
“Plus, 16.5 hours of really good gameplay (with 100% achievements) for a list price of about $6 is excellent.”
“There's a timed gameplay as well as a non-timed one.”
“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.”
“The gameplay is quite repetitive after a few hours.”
“Same team, same gameplay, same experience as Mystika 3.”

The story in this match-3 game is described as weak and minimal, serving primarily as a backdrop to the extensive gameplay across 200 levels. While the graphics and audio are praised, the plot is considered only mildly interesting, with many players noting that it doesn't significantly enhance the overall experience. Overall, the narrative is seen as a common shortcoming in the genre, where gameplay takes precedence over storytelling.
“Good graphics, fairly interesting story line and easy to play.”
“The only tiny minus is the story...it is kinda weak (and yes...the main character does remind me of Lara Croft), but then again...many match 3 games don't have any stories.”
“A linear gauntlet of 200 levels, with only the faintest intrusion of plot along the way.”
“The only tiny minus is the story... it is kind of weak (and yes... the main character does remind me of Lara Croft), but then again... many match 3 games don't have any stories.”
“A basic match 3 game but it has very enjoyable graphics and audio, combined with an okay story and a mix of additional games (hidden object, battles etc) that all tend to lean toward the simpler side.”
