I especially like them by these devs. Just look and see how many of them are in my library. The gameplay they design is always consistently challenging and not frustrating. Their games are visually pleasing with plenty of extra bells and whistles. Things like power ups, extra tools, wallpapers, and so on. There are also lots…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game very addictive you cant stop playing. Level after level graphics excellent. Animation fast and pleasing to the eye .Congratulations look forward to more from this developer .....
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was in a downer state when I bought this game and it helped me through. Relaxing, yet challenging, this is exactly what I want in a match three game. It is so refreshing to play one without it trying to tug on your wallet with microtransactions. I recommend it highly!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I own and love the Jewel Match Solitaire games, so I was happy to try the Jewel Match games and purchased both Origins-Palais Imperial and Twilight 3. Both have many pros and few cons, but I want to post a heads-up to those of you who want all the achievements. Here's what I posted in the discussion thread where others had the same issues: "Having seen these comments, I made certain to buy all the upgrades for each scene before moving on to the next one. Neither of the "all the decorations"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jewel Match Origins - Palais Imperial Collector's Edition may be a fun match 3 game but it will NOT launch!!! These developers have trouble with their games and you have to do work arounds to make them work. It black screens and says out of range. I'm tired of lazy devs. AVOID!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got a bunch of games in this series because I figured they'd be relaxing match 3 games but thanks to the inclusion of a make 50 matches in 55 seconds achievement it winds up being incredibly stressful. The conditions also seem to be incredibly annoying since it only includes manual matches not cascades, so often you'll wind up failing just while waiting for animations to complete. It's just frustrating to be frantically trying to make a match every second only to run into a cascade that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best match 3 game I've ever played. I paid full price too, $9.99. You may be thinking to yourself, why would i pay $10 for this? There are so many free match 3 games on phones, probably even on steam too. Well, there are no micro transactions, so once you own it, you won't be paying any more money to speed up timers or buy power ups like those other games. The gems are also absolutely gorgeous and entrancing. Even though they are not my cup of tea, there are also multiple hidden object games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm enjoying this game even though I am typically not a "Match 3" player. Each level has a different combination and number of "rooms" or maps. The match 3 pieces vary and there are "special" pieces that give the game variety. The requirements to finish the levels "perfectly" also vary. The game is fun and relaxing but also somewhat challenging. I would recommend this game. If you need any clarification of how the game, levels or pieces work, there is an IN DEPTH Strategy Guide which you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Jewel Match Match 3 yet! The puzzles and extras are also Match 3.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, little different than the other one, but it all fun, relaxing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jewel Match Origins – Palais Imperial Collector’s Edition from Suricate Software and Grey Alien Games is a content-heavy match-3 puzzle game that blends classic gem-matching mechanics with light progression systems and a decorative building theme. Set in a stylized interpretation of the Baroque period, the game frames its puzzle-solving around the gradual construction of an imperial palace, giving players a long-term goal that extends beyond clearing individual boards. It’s a familiar structure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though I have 30 hours of play time at this point, I can't recommend this game. It is annoying, when you are in time-mode and you just need to match gems in a single cell at the top of the level, but all gems that cascade down just match right there and vanish, so many seconds pass before I have a chance to clear the last cell, which has sometimes made me loose a level. The scenes you "build" are not interesting in the slightest. The minigames are horrendous and consist of Hidden Object…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first Jewel Match game to feature bigger playing tiles, so is pretty easy on the eyes. After some subtle jokes hidden in earlier releases, shiny jewels are at long last back to make this a true "jewel match" game. This CE features 2 maps of levels. The first (SE version) map has 120 regular M3 levels and 30 optional bonus M3 levels, which are comprised of 15 "puzzle" get all the stars and 15 "pearl" levels get all the stars before running out of available matches. The CE map has…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just the right mix of strategic and low-stakes puzzle gameplay to be a fun thing to work through to unwind.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe it's not the best match-3 out there but the gems are soooooo pretty
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Addictive and nice to unwind to after a hard days work. Got this on sale but would have paid full price for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Grey Alien has some of the best casual games I've ever played. They're my go to games to wind down at the end of the day. So relaxing and fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looking for a beautiful, high quality matching game? Tired of mobile matching clones and outdated graphics on match 3 classics? This game filled that void for me! The graphics are beautiful. They're stylized to match a detailed, opulent theme, which I adore. The animations of the gems just sitting on the board are wonderful. I love the clinking sounds of the gems as they cascade down the board. The surplus of level mechanics and puzzle + pearl levels add an excellent amount of variety to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is another relaxing game great for when you just want to relax and play a matching game with different difficulties I highly recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely one of my top favorite M-3 games of all time. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous with appealing realistically 3-D- like graphics and fabulous castles to 'build' with game perks. Very challenging with lots of varied game elements and tons of replay value. Highly recommended to lovers of games offering lots of sparkly eye candy and relaxing, ethereal elements mixed with great gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found this a soothing match game. I enjoy having an option without time limits, but you can play with time or move limits if you like more of a challenge.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The good: For a match-3 game, I've never seen more creative, varied puzzles and mini-games. If you play through the main 'story', you're gonna end up with more than 40 hours. That's a lot of bang for your buck - and there're bonus levels on top of that. The meh: The sound effects and matching animations could've used a little more crunch and weight. The chateau building aspect is very similar to Grey Alien solitaire games. It does provide some motivation to move forward, but it's kind of a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A stylish Match 3 game with some interesting gameplay mechanics. You never can go wrong with a Grey Alien game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strangely additive trying to unlock the scene! Some levels you have to think about a little - I like the way they are spread over two or more screens. Guess it gets a bit samey and the extra puzzles are way too easy but I would recommend overall.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ok. They've refined the formula over newer versions using the same template which are a bit better. There's a couple of annoying achievements in there that are harder to get than expected. The gameplay, levels, art etc are all fine. However I was happy to switch off the music and just listen to a podcast while chipping away at levels from time to time. You don't have to think too hard to pass most levels but I only could stomach a 30-60min game session at most as it all becomes pretty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played for hours, beating the game and advancing through the bonus levels when one day, it erased my profile and all of my progress. A fun, casual game but that is unforgiveable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The older jewel match games are just as fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Top match 3 game at this moment, even better than Bejeweled 3 and similar others! Advantages: the game saves the table where you left off, you can continue the levels even after they say Completed, lots of power us give a sense of progression, the difficulty increases gradually (in principle, when obstacles appear, also power ups are received to remove them) and it adds to the fun. Superb graphics and crystalline sounds! No annoying hints and move suggestions, no time pressing, nice flow of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good news, bad news. The good news is there's a LOT of content compared to other match 3 games. I mean a boatload. It's pretty, and interesting and a great waste of time (which is the best part of match 3 games). The bad news is that there are bugs. I haven't experienced anything deal=breaking, but I'm an easy going guy. Definitely worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good relaxing puzzle game. Nice game mechanics and lots of levels.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic! One of the most perfect games I've ever come across. Nothing I would change. Play it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/bUIBS0UwFEk Without any distinguishing features for any other match three game in the franchise it's difficult to recommend a game that just covers the basics over any other that does the same.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice jewel matching game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very easty to look at and challenging, very addictive to. The mini bonus puzzles are a real big plus and so much fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing in relaxed mode, this is a very pleasant game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful graphics, but tricky, read instructions...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I buy the last decoration of Castle 1 using star,it Crushed with the Windows notice "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION",and the game closed. 进度打到第一个城堡买最后一个装饰的时候就卡死了，每次都报错"EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun match 3 game. Levels aren't too difficult on the normal settings, even with limited moves. Nice and relaxing music, and I love building up the castles and houses. Bonus puzzles are simple and fun too. Great game overall! I'll definitely be playing more of this series.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I you like match 3 puzzles you will like this. Clever gimmicks and puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice calm game, match 3 style game with some little things to keep it interesting. Lots of variations in the levels, fun to collect items to help build a scene.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I spent like nearly 20 hours in Jewel Match Twilight but then I got this game on sale so I finally played it and well Origins definitely does it more for me right now. I like that the pieces are bigger and the new special things on the board too. Like, I like JM Twilight but it feels like an October game whereas this feels like I can play it whenever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →high quality match 3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I own and have played a lot of Suricate Games, and subsequently I was surprised at how awkward this game feels compared to the Solitaire games. For example, in the Solitaire games you can access the store for new items from the main scene, but in this game you can only access it when you are in a level. After struggling with trying to just resize the game window and trying and failing different launch options to get it to be smaller I accidentally discovered a "smaller window" option in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very beautiful match 3 game. The graphics are stunning! There are a lot of mechanics to remember (as with most match 3s), but they're fairly unique to what's usually found in cookie cutter mobile ones. I love the overall theme and all the extra mini games and things to collect. If you like match 3 and collectibles (or maybe you just clicking on shiny things), it's worth it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Match gems, build castles, drop in, drop out, take it easy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has relaxed mode
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're a Jewel Match fan, you will enjoy this one. It isn't as well done as the later versions, but is is a lot of fun anyway.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're a fan of the Jewel Match games like I am, you'll enjoy this because it's more of the same. The same good music, same sparkling graphics and same crisp sound effects...the same interesting bonus games too. I like same, and I like Jewel Match!
