32 of 32 · most liked firstholiday bonus gold is your bog-standard match-3, and the christmas theme certainly doesn't help if you're a scrooge like me. don't get me wrong, there's some good festive stuff around, but this is nothing to write to santa about. still, I wanted to start at the beginning and sleigh my way through grey alien's match-3 catalog on steam. this gold edition is from 2012 originally, the non-gold with 55 levels came out in 2006, which in turn was the follow-up to 2005's xmas bonus, so there's quite a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My 4th game actually came out in 2006 but in 2011 we got it ported to iPad (and iPhone, Android and even Xbox!) by @damiensturdy.bsky.social Also we added 50 more levels, got it localised and called it Holiday Bonus GOLD.
unlabelledView post →If your in for a great match 3 with superb storylines or more holiday season themed and not too complicated to play and finish 100 % , this is the game for you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your typical match 3 with a holiday theme of it being christmas.. Nothings new and most of your modern match 3 games do a lot more. This is just plain and too simple
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a super bog-standard Match-3 game with a Christmas-theme to it and some gimmicks. For example there are bombs that blow up several fields and matches can free the iced blocks and many more. I would've never believed to say this but this is actually fun compared to other Match-3 games on Steam. Music is nicely in the background and the switch into another level is smoothly executed and not "cheap" via level select. Downside: Separate volume settings, custom cursor, windowed mode with a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely an earlier game than the much better Spooky Bonus, this one provides little feedback and unless you are absolutely the hardest up you could be for match-3, please avoid this title, as it's the most basic possible implementation of the genre.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played two other games by these developers, Spooky Bonus (a match 3 game like this one) and Regency Solitaire. Both were excellent fun. Holiday Bonus Gold is not excellent fun. Holiday Bonus is tedious, dull, monotonous, banal, dreary, humdrum, and in case I'm not being clear here- it is BORING with a capital zzzzzzzzz ...which is exactly what happened every time I played it. I am NOT kidding. I have played this game 3 times, and every time I fell asleep. Soporiferous is not a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a super bog-standard Match-3 game with a Christmas-theme to it, it has nothing special in it at all. I guess this game would be fine for like 2005, but it was released in 2016 and lacks any and all features that Match 3 games need to make them a bit of fun to spend time in. The game also looks horrible, and even worse in full screen. Look for something else, this is not a good Match-3 game at all. Curator page If you liked this review or otherwise found it helpful in deciding whether…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this winter game we swap all sorts of Holiday items to play a relaxing Match-3 game. While you play, the music and sound effects will accompany you quiet nicely to ensure that you have a pleasant game play. There are also beautiful backgrounds you can stare at and enjoy. Overall, there are 55 Regular and 55 Golden Levels, so you can complete the Christmas Tree. You also unlock background gallery as well! So this game is based on luck. As in you don't make Match-4+ or Match-5+ for power…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 I really love Spooky Bonus - a newer match-3 game by GreyAlien. I had hoped this game (Holiday Bonus) was as good, but sadly it is lacking a story and other elements that the other match-3 games provide (from this developer). I can tell this is an earlier game, because the newer games are much more refined. But it is still a great time waster when I am bored, especially since I already beat the other games from this developer. That said, I still love the game engine that was used to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this in June and now I'm ready for Christmas. Great way to beat the summer heat! The artwork is different from some of the devs later games but lovely none the less. Solid Match 3 gameplay. I wish there were achievements but the opportunity to earn new artwork I can use as my desktop is lovely. Definitely a must for Match 3 fans!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holiday Bonus Gold is a Christmas-themed Match 3 game. Compared to other Match 3s I've played, this one is pretty basic. There's only one type of level, where you make matches to clear certain squares. There isn't a timer or a limit to the number of moves, and aside from the first couple of levels, which teach you to play, the rest of the game stays at about the same difficulty. The Christmas theming is pretty nice if you want something to get you into the holiday spirit. The soundtrack is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only play this once a year! This is a great match 3 (or more game) with a good level of challenge and is well presented. If you like Match 3, and you like Christmas - then you'll like this :) 7/10 - would explode me pudding again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent, basic Match 3 game with lots of levels. It's an older game, so the graphics are just okay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first PC game I've ever seen designed for elderly grandmothers. This is a simplistic christmas themed bejeweled ripoff. At the end of each level you are presented with a low resolution picture with a christmas theme which you can set as your wallpaper if you want. Unfortunately there's no widescreen support so everything looks stretched in fullscreen and you can't really change the resolution. While it's charming, there's no reason to buy this because there's similar games…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two words Best Game Ever
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this was the best decision ever
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/XkKg3f9jV44 Offering a way to merge match three gameplay with the popular Christian holiday players can swap themed tiles to meet arbitrary goals while royalty free music plays.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't get this type of games and why they exist.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Around 22 hours of no-frills uber-casual Match 3 gaming. You basically clear the board as fast as you can, and it's very unlikely you will get stuck with no available moves - it only happened to me once. I kind of wish that matches over 3 gave you obvious benefits, because the special tile drops seemed pretty random, and it would have provided incentive to make larger matches. Despite the simple, low pressure game-play, getting into the matching groove was good, and the holiday theme and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple match-3 game with a Christmas theme that is fun to play when you want to invoke the holiday spirit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of fun with this game. It's a bit challenging in the beginning, but it is very addicting!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just relaxing match 3 action. Good casual game and perfect for winter.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Agreeing with a lot of other reviewers. Played Spooky Bonus first and it was good fun. This is not. Lacks graphical options and the levels are just meh.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you would not believe it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very relaxing casual game with a great Christmas atmosphere. Enjoyed the art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game if you only want to be half-paying attention and want some christmas.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a rabid fan of both Christmas and match-3 games, I'm absolutely loving this! Yeah, it's obviously a bit old and the graphics are a bit dated, but to be honest that makes me like it more! When the little icons on the screen that you match move on mouseover it reminds me of funky geocities-era gifs and I'm totally there for it! (No offense to the devs, of course - as I said, I adore the game's certain tackiness, lol) Only thing that I wish this had is slightly better widescreen support…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Expected something decent. Instead wasted precious gaming time that could've been spent on the 300+ actually good games rotting in my Steam library. Tried this hoping it would somehow inspire me to tackle my backlog, but it just added another mediocre title to the pile of regret. The "holiday cheer" feels more like forced festivity designed by someone who's never experienced actual joy. Now I'm even further behind on my unplayed games because I spent hours on this instead of finally starting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely outdated. I don't even know how could somebody made a game in 2016 to max. 1024x768 resolution. (if not 800x600) If you play in higher resolution the "quality" will hurt your eyes... You can play in windowed mode, but I think it is very small in windowed mode.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Standard match-three game, nothing more, nothing less. If you like this kind of games, you will have fun. For me it was not.
