Star Sweet

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.

The gameplay of the match-3 game is criticized for being tedious and sometimes unfair, with players feeling confused about objectives and mechanics. While it shares similarities with popular titles like Candy Crush and Jewels Star, it lacks engaging features such as animations and voice-overs, leading to a dull experience over extended playtime. Despite these drawbacks, some users find the core gameplay solid and appreciate its lighter storage requirements.
- “Although Star Sweet uses the same mechanics as Candy Crush, the game is light on storage (unlike Candy Crush) and is generally a good game.”
- “The gameplay itself is solid.”
- “However, one important item to note, the match 3 portion of the gameplay is apparently identical to a game called 'Jewels Star - Match 3 Adventure', that is downloadable for free on PC and mobile.”
- “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.”
