The gameplay features an arcade mode set to normal difficulty, with additional difficulty levels that must be unlocked, alongside options for customization. While it lacks a few mechanics and has some deviations from the original game logic, it offers a nostalgic experience for fans of the genre, making it a worthwhile purchase for puzzle enthusiasts despite needing some polish.
“Arcade mode is the default on normal difficulty, while easy, hard, extreme, and free modes have to be unlocked. However, gameplay customization is also available.”
“There's a bit of polish needed here and there, but overall, especially at such a low price, it's a steal for anyone who likes their puzzlers, with some mechanics that anyone who hasn't played swing won't have come across in any other game out there.”
“I spent many an hour playing it as a child, and had almost forgotten that the game existed until I saw this pop up on my suggested games.”
“The gameplay feels incomplete, as it's missing some key mechanics that were present in the original version.”
“Some of the game logic is slightly different from what fans of the original might expect, which can be frustrating.”
“There's a bit of polish needed here and there, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The game's graphics are considered subpar compared to typical match-3 titles, yet they offer a unique charm that complements the pleasantly retro music. While the settings are visually appealing, the game lacks extensive audio options during gameplay.
“The music is pleasantly retro to match the graphics, and the settings are pretty good.”
“The game doesn't look great, but not every match-3 has to have the same big fish/casual visuals.”
“The graphics are outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
“The visual style feels bland and uninspired, making it hard to stay engaged.”

“The music is pleasantly retro, perfectly matching the graphics, and the settings are quite good, although only audio toggles are available while playing a level.”
“You can listen to the available songs at your leisure, and there's an in-game representation of achievements called 'missions'.”
