Galleon Fight

Game Description: It is war, and you are the commander of the last surviving ship. Your mission is to protect your castle and stop the enemy invasion at all cost.

How to Play Galleon Fight:
  • Once the game fully loads, click the 'Start' button. (If you do not see the screen with the 'Start' button, click the 'Skip Ad' button to bring it up).
  • On the next screen, click the 'New Game' button.
  • Select your difficulty level of 'Easy' or 'Normal'. (Hint: I suggest that you select the 'Normal' difficulty level, because the 'Easy' difficulty is probably too easy).
  • Your goal is to destroy and sink all of the enemy ships, before they can do the same to you.
  • For each battle, you always get the first shot. For some levels you may be able to see the bow of the first enemy ship. On other levels, your first shot will be a blind shot, and you will simply have to guess where the enemy ships are located.
  • After you take your first shot Galleon Fight will automatically pan over, and you will see where all of the enemy ships are located.
  • The enemy will now fire back at you.
  • After that, you and the enemy will take turns firing at each other.
  • To fire your cannons, first aim your ship's arrow with your mouse. Then, click and hold your left mouse button to set the cannon power and release to fire.
  • If you are able to destroy and sink all of the enemy ships, you will go on to the next level. (Click the 'Continue' button on the 'Level Completed' screen).
  • Should you fail, and the enemy sinks your ship, you may repeat a level until you succeed.
  • Each time you win a battle you will earn money.
  • Between levels, you may use the money you earn to buy upgrades for your ship to increase its health and buy additional armor and weapons.
  • Shoot the treasure chest to earn an extra $100 dollars, which may also be used for ship upgrades.
  • Galleon Fight has 15 levels of play.
  • There seems to be no way, and least that I can find, to save your game progress. So, you will need to complete your game during one sitting.

Galleon Fight Game Options:
  • The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located at the upper right corner.

Galleon Fight Playing Tips:
  • When you find a shot that works, try repeating it.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Pro: Galleon Fight has entertaining graphics and sounds, with some very engaging music.

Con: It certainly would have been helpful if Galleon Fight would allow you to save your game progress.

Other Games: If you enjoyed playing Galleon Fight, you may also like to play Engage and Destroy which is similar, but in my opinion is a vastly superior game.

BioGems

Game Description: Fight 9 different villains, through 10 epic battles, in this extraordinary turn based Match 3 adventure game!

How to Play BioGems:
  • Wait until the game fully loads. Then, click the yellow 'Play Anyway!' button.
  • If you want to start a brand new game click the 'New Game' button.
  • If you want to continue playing a previously saved game click the 'Continue' button.
  • If you are beginning a new game you will need to select your character: Ryu or Pixel. (After you win the entire game, a third character will emerge named Bit). Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses.
  • At the beginning of each new game, you will see a few different screens come up explaining some of the rules. Just click the yellow 'Got It!' button to make the screen go away. Each screen will only show up one time. After that, they will disappear for good.
  • BioGems is a turn based Match 3 game. This means that you, and the villain you are fighting, will take turns playing.
  • For each fight you always get the first turn.
  • The clock is at the top center.
  • You get 19 seconds to make a move.
  • If you fail to make a move within 19 seconds your turn will be forfeited and your opponent will take his next turn immediately. (Hint: Listen for the clock. When your time gets down to the final three seconds, the clock will begin to tick warning you that you are about to lose your turn).
  • As is typical in any Match 3 game, you will swap one gem with an adjacent gem to form a line of three or more matching gems.
  • To swap gems you can either click on each gem individually, or use a dragging motion.
  • The gems will only swap if there is a resulting match of three or more. If no match is made, you can try again as long as you do not run out of time.
  • If you are able to match 4 or 5 gems in a row you get a valuable extra turn!
  • Occasionally you will encounter a situation where there are no more matches available on the entire board. When this occurs, BioGems will show a message that says 'No more moves reshuffling', and it will immediately reshuffle the board so either you, or your opponent, may make their next move.
  • Your character, and your character's statistics are at the left side of the board.
  • Your opponent, and his statistics, are at the right side of the board.
  • Each player has a green Life line at the top. This green line represents life. As each player loses life, the green line will grow shorter and shorter. Each player's life points are also shown on his green line right next to the clock. That number shows precisely how many life points each player has remaining at any point and time.
  • The yellow line, right below the green line, represents each player's energy level. As each player's energy is depleted, the yellow line will grow shorter and shorter. Each player's exact energy points are shown on his yellow line right next to the clock.
  • Each player has a rage meter in his upper corner. The rage meter will fill with red as his rage increases. (Hint: You want your character's rage to increase. This will allow you to attack your opponent in a vicious way. But be careful. Your opponent can do the same thing to you!)
  • There are 7 different gems on the board. Each gem has its own special power. The 7 gems are: Attack, Special Attack, Counter Attack, Increase Rage, Gain Life, Gain Energy, and Increase Defense. (There is another special, and very powerful gem, called the Rainbow Black Hole gem which will only appear on the board by making a match of 5 gems in a row).
  • Attack gem -- The Attack gem is grey in color and has a fist icon. It deals damage to your opponent but costs a bit of energy.
  • Special Attack gem -- The Special Attack gem is purple in color and has a star icon. It deals more damage to your opponent but costs a lot of energy.
  • Counter Attack gem -- The Counter Attack gem is pink in color with a curved arrow icon. It returns a percentage of damage dealt to you during your opponent's next turn.
  • Increase Rage gem -- The Increase Rage gem is red in color with a fire icon. Use it to fill your character's Rage meter in the upper left corner. When your meter is completely filled, your character will release a devastating attack on your opponent. Rage meters can be filled over and over again.
  • Gain Life gem -- The Gain Life gem is green in color and has a heart icon. It restores a small amount of life.
  • Gain Energy gem -- The Gain Energy gem is yellow in color with a lightning bolt icon. It restores a bit of energy.
  • Increase Defense gem -- The Increase Defense gem is blue in color with a shield icon. It prevents a percentage of the damage dealt to you during your opponent's next turn.
  • Rainbow Black Hole Gem -- The Rainbow Black Hole gem has a round shape and is multi-colored. It only appears on the board after a match of 5 gems in a row. Swap it with an adjacent gem to destroy all other gems of that type. (Hint: Always swap the Rainbow Black Hole gem immediately. If used correctly, it can severely weaken your opponent).
  • Each battle gives you rubies.
  • After a battle is over, click the 'Continue' button to enter the Upgrade shop where you can spend your rubies. Upgrades will make your character much stronger for his next fight.
  • To purchase an upgrade, first click on the upgrade you are interested in. Then, click on the yellow button located near the lower right corner where it says 'Upgrade'. If you do not currently have enough rubies to buy the upgrade, the Upgrade button will be dimmed. (The amount of rubies you currently have available to spend is shown by the number located near the lower right corner, just above the yellow 'Map' button). And remember, you will automatically earn more rubies each time you fight another opponent. So if you do not have enough rubies to buy a particular upgrade, just do more fights until you do earn enough rubies).
  • There are 7 types of upgrades you can buy. They are: Space Armor, Power Glove, Battery Pack, Power Collar, Force Field, Reflex Boots, and Rage Snacks. (Don't be concerened about the last two upgrades at the Upgrade shop: the 1000 and 5000 rubies. These two upgrades can only be purchased with MochiCoins by Mochi premium members. You won't need these. You can easily earn more free rubies than you can ever hope to spend by simply playing the game).
  • Space Armor -- The Space Armor upgrade increases your maximum Health!
  • Power Glove -- The Power Glove upgrade deals more damage with Attack Gems!
  • Battery Pack -- The Battery Pack upgrade increases your maximum Energy!
  • Power Collar -- The Power Collar upgrade deals more Special Attack damage to your opponent!
  • Force Field -- The Force Field upgrade blocks more damage from your opponent!
  • Reflex Boots -- The Reflex Boots upgrade returns more damage to your opponent when you are attacked!
  • Rage Snacks -- The Rage Snacks upgrade allows you to inflict even more damage with a Rage Attack!
  • Each upgrade may be purchased up to a maximum of four times. (You can see the level each upgrade is currently at, as indicated by the number in its upper right corner). Each time you buy an upgrade it will cost you more rubies, but it will also be much more powerful.
  • Any unspent rubies will carry over to the next level.
  • After purchasing your upgrades, click the 'Map' button where you will choose your next opponent to fight. (While at the Upgrade shop, should you for any reason want to get back to the main menu, just click the home icon located just to the upper left of your character icon at the upper left corner of the screen).
  • The map will roll up and down with mouse movement. You may refight any opponent you have previously defeated, or you may go on to the next opponent by clicking the word 'Fight!'
  • After you click the 'Map' button, if you think you forgot to buy an upgrade you may click the 'Shop' button located at the lower left corner. That will take you back to the Upgrade shop.
  • There are 9 different villains. Here is the order in which you will fight them: Python (the snake), Ratu (the bat), Tyson (the bear), Ditko (the spider), Jaws (the Shark), Woody (the moose), Marcus (the rhino), Goord (the Slime Boss), and Master Squid who you will have to defeat two times.
  • Master Squid is the final villain you will fight. You must defeat him two times. The first time you fight Master Squid he will begin the battle with 300 life points. After you defeat him the first time he will immediately come back meaner, badder, and more powerful (with 875 life points). Unfortunately for you, your life points are what they are. In other words, let's say that you begin the battle with Master Squid at 500 life points. But after defeating Master Squid in the first battle you may only have say, 200 life points remaining. So, that's it. It will be your 200 life points against Master Squid's 875 life points. You certainly will have your work cut out for you!
  • Your goal is to defeat each opponent by getting his life points down to zero before he can do the same to you.
  • If you defeat your opponent, you go on to the next fight.
  • If your opponent wins, you must refight that opponent until you win. (If you have enough rubies to spend, don't forget to buy more upgrades while you are at the Upgrade shop to make your character more even more formidable).
  • When you manage to defeat Master Squid two times in a row the game will end. (This will also open up a new character named Bit. If you do win the game, play it again but choose a different character for a slightly different gaming experience).
  • BioGems should automatically save your game progress for you. Then, just come back here to Richard's Game Reviews and continue your game by clicking the 'Continue' button.






BioGems Game Options: The game options may be accessed either by clicking the 'Options' button located at the lower right corner on the main game screen, or by clicking the 'Pause' button during game play. (The 'Pause' button is located just below the clock). The game options are:
  • The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the sound icon.
  • The music may be turned on or off by clicking the musical note icon.

BioGems Playing Tips:
  • Match as many Attack (grey fist) and Special Attack (purple star) gems as you can to reduce your opponent's life points.
  • Every attack against your opponent will cost you a bit of energy. Keep an eye on your yellow energy line and fill it up by matching Gain Energy (yellow lightning bolt) gems when it's almost empty. (If your energy line gets too low, you will not be able to attack your opponent. That is, your attacks will have zero effect).
  • Watch your green life line. When your life points are low, match some Gain Life (green heart) gems to add some extra life for your character.
  • When your opponent is low on life points, match some Gain Life (green heart) gems yourself, so he can't get any!
  • Gems will explode when matched in a chain of 3 or more. Then new gems will fall from the top of the screen to fill the grid. This can cause a chain reaction of matching gems, giving you the effect of all gems destroyed in that combo. As you gain experience, you will be able to recognize many of these combos before you make your move. So scan the board carefully, and quickly, to look for these opportunties.
  • Try creating an L or a T shape with gems of the same type for a very explosive special effect.
  • Don't forget to try to make matches of 4 or 5 gems in a row. Each time you do, this will give you a very valuable extra turn!
  • Think about what the board's configuration will be after your move. Try to prevent your opponent from matching the gems he needs by shifting the board around defensively.
  • When your opponent is low on energy, make sure to match Gain Energy (yellow lightning bolt) gems yourself, so he doesn't get any!
  • When you see that your opponent's rage meter is almost full, try to match Increase Rage (red fire) gems yourself, so your opponent will not get any more for himself!
  • Match Increase Defense (blue shield), or Counter Attack ( pink arrow) gems, when your opponent's rage meter is almost full to reduce his Rage Attack's impact. (Also keep in mind, that both the Increase Defense and the Counter Attack effects only last for a single turn. So, if your opponent did not unleash his Rage Attack with his last turn, you are still vulnerable and you will still need to protect yourself as much as possible by again matching either the Increase Defense or Counter Attack gems).
  • Make sure you do not waste Attacks or Rage on a shielded opponent. (You can easily tell when either you, or your opponent, are shielded because you will see and hear the shield come up along with the words 'Defense Up').
  • Buy as many upgrades as you can. These will make a huge difference! Eventually, your character will grow strong enough to defeat every villain!
  • Whenever you see a Rainbow Black Hole gem, immediately swap it with another gem. It can, if it is used correctly, cause major damage to your opponent. However, be very careful on deciding which gem you swap it with because if you swap it with the wrong type of gem, depending on the current state of the game, you can actually mortally wound yourself. That being said, I still think it is never a good idea to leave a Rainbow Black Hole gem on the board, because your opponent will very likely be able to use it to devastate you!

Richard's Rating: 5 out of 5.

Comments: With incredible animations and great sound effects, BioGems is truly phenomenal! If you are a Match 3 fan, BioGems is sure to quickly become one of your all-time favorite games.

Block Blaster

Game Description: Shoot blocks to destroy groups of 3 or more.

How to Play Block Blaster:
  • Click the 'Start' button.
  • Use your mouse to move the cannon from side-to-side.
  • Click to shoot blocks up into the grid.
  • Match 3 or more, to break the cluster of blocks of that color.
  • Blocks that are no longer attached will fall and add points to your score.
  • Think fast and keep the blocks above the red line, because when a block crosses the red line the game is over.

Block Blaster Game Options:
  • The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the Sound On/Off button located at the lower right corner. (Each time you click the sound button a block will automatically be fired into the grid from the far right column. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided).

Block Blaster Playing Tips:
  • Try to break off large clusters of blocks by making matches higher up on the grid.
  • Watch the cannon carefully. If you look right below the block that you are about to shoot, notice that you can always see the color of the next block that will be loaded into the cannon. Knowing the color of the next block can help you plan your current shot.

Richard's Rating: 5 out of 5.

Comments: Block Blaster is a lot more fun than I originally thought it would be. Give it a try, and you too may be surprised to find out how much fun this game really is.

Collapse It

Game Description: Kill each person on each level by placing your bombs strategically on each structure, then pressing the detonation button in the lower-right corner.

How to Play Collapse It:
  • Once the game fully loads, click the green 'Play' button.
  • On the next screen or two that you will see, click the green 'Play' button once more. This will take you to the 'Choose Level' screen.
  • You may play any level that is unlocked.
  • If you are playing Collapse It for the very first time, only Level 1 will be unlocked.
  • If you have not elected to hide the game tips, Collapse It will take you through Level 1 step-by-step. This will give you a good feel on how to play the game. (Hint: Always leave the game tips turned on.)
  • Your goal is to place your bombs strategically to kill each person on each level. (The number of people you must kill is also listed at the top of the screen where it says 'Kills Left').
  • After you place your bombs, click the 'Boom' button in the lower right corner, or press your space bar, to explode your bombs.
  • When you explode your bombs a clock will appear near the upper left corner.
  • To win a level you must kill every person before the clock can make one full rotation. (Sometimes it can take a while for the structures to break apart, if you have not placed your bombs at a good enough location).
  • If you are unable to kill all of the people with your bombs, you will see the 'Level Failed!' screen. To replay the level, and try again, click the 'Restart' button. (You may replay a level as many times as you need, until you succeed).
  • Each time you successfully complete a level, the next level will unlock.
  • There are 34 levels of play.
  • Win cups by using less bombs.
  • The fewer bombs you use, the more points you will make!
  • Your total score for all levels is shown at the top of the 'Choose Level' screen.
  • See how your total score compares to the top 20 total scores by clicking the green 'High Scores' button on the main menu.
  • You may replay any unlocked level, at anytime, to try to get a better level score. (If you happen to score lower than your previous best, Collapse It will still give you credit for your highest level score. So, your total score will never decrease!)
  • If you would like to submit your score, which can be fun, simply click the green 'Submit' button at the top of the 'Choose Level' screen. Enter your name (you are limited to 15 character spaces). Then, click 'submit' in the lower right corner.
  • Collapse It should automatically save all of your game progress, and all of your level scores.
  • To continue your saved game, just use the same computer and come back here to Richard's Game Reviews and pick up where you last left off.

Collapse It Game Options: All of the game options are accessed by clicking the yellow 'Options' button on the main menu. The game options are:
  • The music volume may be adjusted with the top slider button. (If you want to turn the music completely off, just make sure you slide the button all the way to the left.)
  • The sound volume may be adjusted with the second slider button.
  • The game tips may be hidden by placing a checkmark in the 'Hide Tips' box. (The default setting is to display the game tips. I suggest that you leave the setting to display the game tips. They really are helpful and not intrusive at all).
  • You may wipe out all of your game progress, and start an entirely new game by clicking the 'Reset Game' button and then clicking 'Yes'. However, be warned. Once you click the 'Yes' button, you cannot go back and change your mind.







Collapse It Playing Tips:
  • Collapse It is a game of trial and error. If you don't successfully complete a level, or if you do not get as high of a level score as you wish, pay close attention to see what works and what doesn't work. Then, play the level again and make the necessary adjustments.
  • Before you place your bombs, you may want to hover your mouse over the box at the lower left corner of the screen. When you do, a pop-up box will appear showing you what types of bombs you have available and how many of each. Collapse It will choose the order in which you use your bombs. However, this box allows you to change that order by simply clicking on the type of bomb you would like to use first. Obviously to get the maximum number of points, you would like to use only a single bomb to complete a level, if at all possible. So using this box allows you to use any of your available bombs as your first bomb, and can sometimes give you an advantage.
  • Here is a hint for Collapse It Levels 18, 24 and 32. You will need to explode the kegs of dynamite. (They look like orange barrels).
  • Here is a hint for Level 22. You will need to collapse the tall brick tower on the right, and get it to topple the lower structure with the remaining 6 people on the left.
  • If you get really stuck, you may want to take a look at the walkthough from Kongregate. This is the same exact walkthough you would see if you clicked the 'Walkthrough' button on the game itself; and for your convenience, I have it right here on this page.
Collapse It Walkthrough: Here is the complete YouTube Collapse It Walkthrough for all 34 levels of play.







Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Collapse It is quite simply, tons of fun!

Other Games: If you enjoy playing Collapse It, you may also like to play Crush the Castle 2 which is similar to Collapse It, but much more challenging.

Gluey

Game Description: Free the trapped Blobs by clicking groups of them to make them disappear.

How to Play Gluey in Regular Mode:
  • Click the 'Play' button to play Gluey in regular mode. (There is also Zen mode, which I will briefly explain later).
  • Gluey will take you step-by-step through Level 1, so you can get an immediate feel for the game.
  • Each level has a point Goal near the upper right corner. This is the minimum number of points you must score in order to beat the level, and advance to the next one.
  • All levels, except for Level 1, begin with some single Blobs and some Blob groups. (Level 1 only has Blob groups).
  • Only Blob groups can be clicked. (Hint: Blob groups have eyeballs. Single Blobs do not have eyeballs).
  • Single Blobs cannot be clicked. If you hover your mouse over a single Blob you will see a text message that says 'cannot remove single Blob'. If you click on a single Blob Gluey will signal its disapproval by making a grunting sound.
  • You may see some Blobs with one or more colored dots inside of them. Each colored dot represents a trapped Blob. Once the Blob is clicked (remember only Blob groups can be clicked and single Blobs cannot be clicked), the trapped Blob will be released.
  • Watch for Blobs with a plus sign. A plus sign represents a 'More Blobs' powerup. When you are able to click a Blob group with a plus sign, more Blobs will drop in giving you more chances to make points.
  • On Gluey Levels 11 and 15 you will see some Blobs with a two-headed arrow. When you click a Blob group with an arrow all of the Blobs will get shook up and rearranged.
  • As Blob groups are clicked the other Blobs will fall, letting gravity take its course.
  • When Blobs fall, Blobs of the same color will stick together and form groups, or form even larger groups.
  • You score points each time a Blob group is clicked.
  • The bigger the group you click, the more points you will make!
  • Score 200 bonus points for removing all Blobs from the board.
  • If you are able to score enough points to at least match the minimum Goal score, you will go on to the next level of play.
  • Should you score less than the Goal score you will see a 'Game Over' message. However, the game is not really over. The only thing 'Game Over' means is that you must replay the level you just played.
  • You may replay a level as many times as you need until you succeed.
  • Each time a level is replayed it will be different!
  • If you would like to restart the level you are playing, to perhaps try to get the 200 bonus points or try to get a higher score, you can click the Restart this level button (this is the button with the two arrows pointing in opposite directions just to the left of the 'X' button in the upper right corner). This option only exists while you are playing a level. Once you win a level, you cannot go back and replay it.
  • Gluey regular mode has 16 levels of play.
  • After you complete Level 16, click the 'Quit Game' button to play the game again.
  • It is very doable to play all 16 levels at one sitting. However, if you are unable to finish your game, Gluey should automatically save your game progress. Then, using the same computer you can pick up where you last left off.

How to Play Gluey in Zen Mode:
  • To play Gluey in Zen mode click the 'Zen mode' button.
  • Zen mode is played like the basic regular game except that there is only one level.
  • In Zen mode you get free Blobs for any removed group. For example, remove 6 Blobs and get 5 free!
  • The goal of Gluey Zen mode is simply to rack up as many points as you can.













Gluey Game Options:
  • The background music may be turned on or off by clicking the musical note icon.
  • The sound effects may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon.

Gluey Playing Tips:
  • The most important Gluey playing tip I can give you, by far, is this: The biggest Blob groups make the biggest points. I am not just talking about a few more points. I am talking about massive more points. So, the strategy is clear. You need to anticipate where the Blobs will fall to create even bigger Blobs. Then build them up as much as possible before clicking on them. That is the way to get huge points and win levels.
  • Sometimes when a Blob is falling, and not yet settled into its final position, it may momentarily connect with another Blob of the same color. If you are able to click at that precise moment, you may click that temporary group before it breaks apart.
  • Another thing you should watch for are trapped Blobs. Just like the other Blobs, you will want to anticipate where the trapped Blobs will go after they are released by their Blob group.
  • Anytime you can click on a Blob group with a plus sign inside of it (the 'More Blobs' powerups), more Blobs will drop in giving you more chances to make points!
  • It is to your advantage to use the 'More Blobs' powerups (the Blobs with the plus signs) when they are part of the largest group possible. The larger the group, the greater the number of new Blobs that will be introduced into the game.
  • Remember, if you are able to remove all Blobs from the board you will score an extra 200 points!
  • On Gluey Levels 11 and 15 it is a good idea to click on the Blob groups that have a double-headed arrow, but only when you want to rearrange the Blobs.
  • Except for Level 16, Gluey Level 12 is probably the most difficult level to beat, at least until you understand it. On Level 12 you will see a row of Blobs at the bottom, each with a lock. Think of this row of Blobs like it is a dam. You do not want to break this dam by unlocking any of these Blobs. Once even a single Blob is unlocked the other Blobs will begin to fall through the hole it creates and not only drop to the bottom, but drop through the bottom and off the screen where they will be unable to be used. So the strategy for Level 12 is to form Blob groups near the top as much as you can. Then build up as many points as you can before you 'break your dam'. When you do decide to 'break your dam', and if you are close to meeting your point level Goal, you should break the biggest locked group that you can. That will probably be the last move you can make before all of the Blobs will fall through the bottom, but hopefully you will earn enough points to beat the level.
  • Gluey Level 14 also has locks. But this time there are 3 separate rows of locks. The best strategy is to start from the top and make some good matches. Eventually you will need to break the top row of locks. Once you break the first lock on the top row you will want to break the other locks on the top row too. If you don't, you will probably end up with a lot of unbreakable single Blobs trapped above the top row. (Of course, like all of the other levels, Gluey Level 14 plays differently each time you play it. But you will probably need to make some fast decisions, and click rather quickly, to break the entire top row of locks or at least as many as you can. That is, you may see some temporary connections that you will need to click on immediately before too many Blobs drop down to the second row of locked Blobs). Once the top row of locks is broken you will want to use the same strategy with the second row of locks as you used for the top row. Finally, you will want to break the bottom row of locks.
  • Gluey Level 16 may be the toughest level of all and you will probably need to make some quick decisions as the Blobs are falling. On Gluey Level 16 you will see a row of locks about two-thirds of the way down. Start by making some good matches at the top. But once the first lock is broken, it is important to break as many of these locks as possible. Like Level 14, if you don't, you will probably end up with a lot of unbreakable single Blobs trapped above the locked row. However unlike Levels 12 and 14, once the locks are broken the Blobs will not fall through the bottom. They will simply go to the bottom. And what do you see at the bottom? It is something very important: there will be several single Blobs with a plus sign. You already know what that means. These are 'More Blobs' powerups. (When you are able to click a Blob group with a plus sign more Blobs will drop in giving you more chances to make points). Getting these 'More Blobs' powerups is probably going to be crucial to reach the 400 point Goal of Level 16. That is why it is important to break as many of the locks as you can after making some good matches at the top.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Once you get the hang of Gluey, which should not take very long, you will find that it is tremendous fun!
