About

"Star Sweet" is a casual game where players swap jewels to form matches of three or more in a row. Special combinations of explosions, lightning bolts, and other abilities can be created for extra points and efficient clearing of sectors. The game features two modes: Arcade, where players must clear all cells to face a "mini boss," and Classic, with no timer. Success is rated with up to three stars, depending on points and speed, and each level has a time limit.

  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the match-3 game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it tedious and lacking engaging mechanics, while others appreciate its simplicity and light storage requirements. Although it shares similarities with popular titles like Candy Crush and Jewels Star, the absence of animations and voice-overs detracts from the overall experience.

    • “+ simple, easy mechanics”
    • “- the gameplay itself is solid.”
    • “Very tedious match-3 game with partly unfair mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay over 50 hours was so dull that I didn't even notice the manga girls next to the playfield.”
    • “Here it is the opposite problem - you are not even sure what to do and if you succeed, you have to watch the mechanics for some time to actually understand what is happening and whether you got it right.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as soothing but ultimately repetitive, with many users noting that it consists of a single track that can become monotonous over time.

Overall, the music serves as a relaxing backdrop but may not sustain interest for extended play.

    • “Wasn't expecting much from this one, but I keep coming back to play a few levels... if you're into match 3, the dev has put a bunch of levels, chilling music, plus some achievements.”
    • “The music is rather soothing, fine.”
    • “The music is just one song that goes on forever, so the soothing will become annoying.”
    • “You expect the background to change, for the music to change; you expect some story.”
    • “The music is repetitive and not at the same caliber as what is on the product Steam page video.”
  • graphics
