Lady Jane Solitaire

Game Description: Build the eight foundation piles from Ace to King with cards of the same suit.

How to Play Lady Jane Solitaire:
  • Lady Jane Solitaire is a card game played with two standard decks of 52 cards.
  • At the start of the game 55 cards are dealt face up to 10 tableau piles. The first pile has one card, the second pile has 2 cards, the third pile has 3 cards, and so on.
  • The remaining 49 cards form the stock pile (at the upper left corner) with the first 3 cards of the stock pile immediately dealt to the waste pile (to the immediate right of the stock pile).
  • There are eight spaces at the top. These are for the foundation piles.
  • The object of Lady Jane Solitaire is to move all 104 cards to the foundation piles.
  • The foundation piles are built from A to K with cards of the same suit.
  • To begin building a foundation pile you begin with an ace. Each ace can only be moved to a matching space at the top. For instance, if you wish to move an ace of hearts you can only move it to one of the two available ace of hearts spaces. That is, you cannot move it to a space designated for an ace of spades, clubs, or diamonds.
  • To move cards, you drag them with your mouse.
  • The only cards that may be moved are the top card on the waste pile, or the last card(s) on a tableau pile.
  • Only the top card on the waste pile, or the last card on a tableau pile can be moved to a foundation pile.
  • You can use the tableau piles to hold the cards temporarily.
  • The cards are ranked like this from low to high: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K.
  • You can move a card from one tableau pile to another, or move the top card from the waste pile to a tableau pile, if the card you are moving is one rank lower than the last card on the tableau pile regardless of suit. For example, if the last card on a tableau pile shows an 8, you could drag any moveable 7 on top of the 8.
  • If the last cards on a tableau pile are consecutive cards from high to low with the same suit, then you can move them together as a unit.
  • When a tableau pile is empty, you can put any moveable card on it.
  • You can click the stock pile to deal additional cards to the waste pile, 3 cards at at time.
  • When all of the stock cards are dealt, you can flip over the waste cards and deal the stock cards one, and only one, more time.
  • Score 200 points for each card you are able to place on a foundation.
  • A winning score would be 20800 points.

Lady Jane Solitaire Game Options: The game options may be accessed by clicking the object that sort of looks like a gear shaft; located just to the right of the question mark near the lower right corner of the game. The game options are as follows:
  • The game sounds may be adjusted.
  • The music volume may be adjusted.
  • The game may be played in full screen mode (a very nice feature to make the cards nice and big).

Lady Jane Solitaire Playing Tips:
  • Try to build the tableau piles by suits as much as you can. This makes it easier to move the cards around.
  • If you cannot build some of the tableau piles by suit, you may want to designate one or two piles where you 'dump' the cards and just build by rank and not as much by suit. It is easier to have only one or two difficult piles, rather than many.
  • Try to make as many empty spaces in the tableau as you can. Empty spaces give you greater flexibility.
  • Take a peek at the second card in the waste pile by dragging and holding on to the top card in the waste pile. After you see what it is, put the top card back by releasing your mouse. Knowing what the next card is in the waste pile can help you strategize.
  • Before giving up, always play the cards out as much as you can. Not only will this give you more points, but sometimes it can lead to an unanticipated move that can really help you.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: Lady Jane Solitaire is an excellent strategic game that is challenging, but certainly winnable.

Street Luge

Game Description: Race your street luge against the clock on three amazing tracks. Try not to crash! Each time you crash you will lose some time on the clock. When you crash, you will continue racing from the spot where you crashed. Try to finish each race track in as little time as possible. Street Luge will automatically save your game scores for you. So each time you play, you can try to lower your time.

How to Play Street Luge:
  • Click the 'Play' button.
  • Pick your track by clicking on 'Mountain', 'Canyon' or 'City'.
  • Click the 'Next' button (located in the lower right corner).
  • On the next screen, type your name in the space provided (up to a maximum of 12 characters). Typing in your name is optional. It is simply for fun, and you are the only one who will see your name.
  • Select your country by clicking on one of the 12 flags. This is also optional and just for fun.
  • Click the 'Start' button at the lower right corner.
  • Once the track fully loads, click the 'Click to Start' button. (If you have played Street Luge before on the same computer you should see 'Your Best Result' for that track. This is your personal best time that you will try to beat).
  • The clock is located at the lower right corner.
  • Press the 'A' key to speed up.
  • Press the 'Z' key to brake.
  • Use the left and right arrow keys to steer.
  • There is no limit to the number of times you can crash, but each time you crash you will lose some time on the clock.
  • When you crash, you will continue racing from the spot where you crashed.
  • Your goal, of course, is to finish each race track in as little time as possible.
  • After each race is complete, click the 'Yes' button to race on the same track again. Or, click the 'No' button to go back to the main menu to play a different track.
  • Street Luge should automatically save your game scores for you. Then, as long as you use the same computer, each time you play you can try to lower your time for each race track on each new try.

Street Luge Game Options:
  • The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the 'Audio On/Off' button located at the upper right corner.

Street Luge Playing Tips:
  • Do not crash! Okay, this is the most obvious of tips because each time you crash you lose time. But, I just had to say it.
  • Try to ride down the center of the street as much as you can. Use the white dash marks in the center of the street as your guide. If you can stay on the white dash marks, you will not crash.
  • For the mountain track try to avoid the dirt areas. These will slow you down. Also, there is a ramp on this course. Ride up the ramp and make a jump to avoid the large dirt area that is coming up.
  • For the city track pay attention to the yellow barricades. Each barricade has yellow arrows at the top which shows you the direction you should go. This course has lots of sharp turns, so don't forget to brake when you need to.
  • Similar to the mountain track, with the canyon track, you will want to try to avoid the dirt areas because these will slow you down considerably. This course also has a ramp near the end of the race. Ride up the ramp and jump to avoid the large dirt area that is coming up. Use the yellow arrows along the side of the road to point you in the right direction.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: With Street Luge, spectacular graphics and sounds are the order of the day. The graphics are truly outstanding! One thing I particularly like about Street Luge is that the game allows you to have unlimited crashes. So, no matter how inept you may be, at least you can finish each race.

Farmscapes

Game Description: Help Joe, and his grandson, restore their farm by playing Match 3, hidden object, and other puzzle games in this farming adventure.

Please Note: What I have here is the free demonstration version of Farmscapes. After some levels you will be asked if you want to download a free trial of the full version game. If you would only like to play for free, just click the 'Continue' button and continue your free play here at Richard's Game Reviews. This free demo version has 20 levels of play.

How to Play Farmscapes:
  • After the game fully loads, click the button near the bottom where it says 'Click to Continue'.
  • When you see the 'Enter your Name' box, type in your name to replace the word Player. Then, click 'OK'. You don't need to type in your complete name. Your first name, or even your nickname, will do just fine. Typing in your name makes the game more interactive and entertaining because Farmscapes will reference your name at various points in the story as you play along.
  • After watching the introductory storyline, click the 'Play' button at the lower right corner.
  • There are two ways to play Farmscapes: Timed Mode (which is the default), and Relaxed Mode. With Timed Mode you will play against the timer. With Relaxed Mode you will play with no timer. If you wish to change the playing mode to Relaxed Mode, first click the green 'Menu' button located at the upper right corner. Then, click inside of the 'Relaxed Mode' box to put a checkmark in it. This will remove the timer at the right. (I definitely recommend that you do not change the mode to Relaxed Mode. Farmscapes gives you plenty of time to finish each level. In fact, if you are even slightly familar with Match 3 play you will probably never even be challenged by the timer at all. Even if you have never played Match 3 games before, leave the timer on. Because if you should run out of time, no harm is done. You can simply replay the level again, and again, as many times as you need).
  • The basic concept of Farmscapes is to play various puzzle games to earn money for Joe's farm.
  • The timer is at the right. (I hope you took my recommendation and left the game in Timed Mode!) The timer looks like a long tube. It is filled with a green liquid that drains from top to bottom. When the timer drains completely, time is up.
  • If you complete the task before time is up, you earn money to buy various things for Joe's farm. The amount of money you have is shown on the button near the upper right corner, just to the left of the green 'Menu' button.
  • To buy a farm improvement item click on one of the pictures at the bottom, just to the left of the 'Play' button. Then, select one of the options. (You can also click the green 'Design' button located at the upper left corner to switch to a mode where you can change any of the items you've purchased).
  • Mostly, you will play Match 3 games. (I have a list of the levels below, so you can see what type of game you will play on each level).
  • With most of the Match 3 games you will attempt to turn all gold squares to silver before time is up. You will do this by making matches over the gold squares by clicking on adjacent pieces to swap them.
  • A few of the Match 3 games are different. For these there will be no gold squares. Instead, you will need to make matches to collect specific farm vegetables. Watch the vegetable counter at the lower right corner. You goal here is to get the vegetable count down to zero before time is up.
  • There are 2 hidden object games thown in along the way. The hidden object games have no timer. Find all of the hidden objects to earn money for Joe's farm.
  • There is one other type of puzzle you will play, a click on the object type of game. You will be asked to find specific items on Joe's farm. There is no timer for this. Find all of the items to earn your money.
  • If you wish to leave, and finish your game later, Farmscapes should save your game automatically. To resume your saved game, just use the same computer as before and come back here to Richard's Game Reviews and pick up where you last left off.
  • The game ends when you complete all 20 levels of play.
  • If you should finish the entire game and would like to play again, follow these steps: 1. Click the 'Back' button. 2. Click the 'Continue' button. 3. Click the 'Menu' button. 4. Click the 'Restart button. 5. Click 'Yes'.












Here is the list of the 20 Farmscapes Free Demo Version Levels:
  • Level 1 --- Match 3 -- Turn all gold squares to silver.
  • Level 2 --- Match 3 -- Turn all gold squares to silver.
  • Level 3 --- Clicking Game -- Click on 44 chamomiles (the white flowers).

Farmscapes Game Options:
  • Click the green 'Menu' button located in the upper right corner to adjust the sound volume, to adjust the music volume, to change the game mode, or to show or remove game hints. Click the 'Resume' button to continue your game.
  • Click the 'eye' near the upper left corner, just to the right of the 'Design' button, to pause the game so you can sit back and enjoy the view of your farm. Click anywhere on the game screen to resume.

Farmscapes Playing Tips for the Match 3 Games:
  • If you do not make a move in a while, Farmscapes will show you a move. This can sometimes be a good, or even a necessary move, especially at the beginning of a level. It can also be, and typically is, just a random suggested move.
  • A firecracker explodes four neighboring cells. To do this, use it to exchange places with any other piece, or simply double-click on it.
  • You will earn bombs for any combination of 5 or more. Don't miss out when you have a chance to earn one! A bomb blows up all of the pieces within a radius of two cells. To do this, use it to exchange places with any other piece, or simply double-click on it. Hint: To get the most use of your bombs, save them up until they're near several gold cells.
  • The Beehive is the most powerful bonus in the game. It can be obtained by detonating seven bombs and firecrackers during a single level. If you swap it with any piece, then the bees will gather all of the pieces of that kind from the board.
  • Hint: Don't be in too great of a hurry to use your beehive. Think carefully about what pieces would be best to clear from the board.
  • Use your bonuses wisely. They can help you remove critical boxes and pry into hard-to-reach places.
  • Some pieces are covered by a box. To remove the box, line up three identical pieces in a neighboring row.
  • Some pieces are frozen. To unfreeze it, align it with at least two other matching pieces.
  • You can always get help during the game by clicking on the question-mark button.
  • Levels become increasingly more complex, but you get more money for completing them.
  • For greater efficiency, start by making matches along the bottom of the board. Then, later work your way towards the top. This will cause the top pieces to fall, and sometimes to form matches by themselves.
  • You will earn more money for each level if you complete it as quickly as possible.
  • Your earnings depend not only on the number of gold boxes you clear, but also on the amount of time you spend on the level, and the amount of food you collect.

Farmscapes Playing Tips for the Hidden Object and Click on the Object Games:
  • Get stuck? Look to the lower right corner. Click on the hint jar to release the butterfly. Watch closely for the butterfly to give you a hint.
  • After you use the hint jar once, the hint jar will take a little bit of time to power back up. When the hint jar is ready to be used again, you will hear a chiming sound.
  • You can use the hint jar as many times as you need.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: The best feature of Farmscapes are the graphics and animations. They are truly outstanding! The games are very easy to win because you are given plenty of time. If you would like to play a game that is more relaxing, than challenging, I would certainly recommend this game.

Junk Yard

Game Description: Try to get the recyclable items into their correct bins by removing the junk in this fun, but tricky, physics puzzle game. Click on the stuff you want to remove. The rules of gravity will take care of the rest!

How to Play Junk Yard:
  • You begin the game with 3 lives. (You lives are shown at the right).
  • Each level begins with one or more recyclable items. (Each recyclable item is encircled by a blue bubble).
  • At the bottom of each screen you will see 5 recycle bins.
  • Each bin has either the picture of a recyclable item or a red X.
  • Your goal is to get each recyclable item into its matching bin. (Sometimes, a recyclable item may have more than one matching bin. In those instances, you may get the recyclable into any matching bin).
  • Between each recyclable item and its matching bin are pieces of junk.
  • To move the recyclable items click on each piece of junk, one piece at a time. As you do, the piece of junk you click on will be removed from the game and the recyclable items and the other pieces of junk will move according to the rules of gravity.
  • Need to shake things up? If you do not like the way the items are currently aligned on the screen you can click the white arrow on the right side. This will shake things up and somewhat rearrange the items. (The degree to which the items will move will depend, as always, on the rules of gravity).
  • You begin the game with 5 shakes. (The number of shakes you currently have is shown at the right side of the game).
  • If you are able to get every recyclable item into its matching bin, you earn points and advance to the next level of play. You also earn one additional shake if you have less than 5 shakes remaining. (If you already have your full complement of 5 shakes, you will not earn an additonal shake. That is, you can never have more than the allowable maximum of 5 shakes).
  • Do not allow any recyclable item to fall into any other bin other than its matching bin. If you do you will lose one life, and you will have to repeat the level.
  • The game ends when you lose all 3 of your lives.

Junk Yard Game Options:
  • The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the sound icon located at the lower right corner.

Junk Yard Playing Tips:
  • If you need to move a recyclable item toward its matching bin, and you feel you may not be able to do this by removing the junk, use the shake arrow early when the recyclable item is higher up near the top of the screen. This allows for the greatest movement. (If the recyclable item is already near the bottom next to an incorrect bin, it very often can be hard to get a good shake. The recyclable may not have enough gravity to move much, and it may end up almost in the same place).
  • Sometimes, if you plan your strategy right, it can be very helpful to remove certain pieces of junk before trying your next shake. Removing the right pieces of junk can allow the recyclable to get a bigger shake or guide it in the direction you want it to go.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Pro: With spectacular crystal-clear graphics, Junk Yard is a brilliant game of strategy. One of the outstanding features is that each time the game is played it is completely different. The recyclable items may be different. And because all of the items are dropped from the top and bounce around, every level begins differently than before. The laws of gravity have never been so fun!

Con: It would have been nice if Junk Yard had a separate sound control for the music. That way, you could have turned off the music (which can be a little irritating) and left the rest of the sounds on.

What's New Pages Image
The main purpose of the What's New? pages is to tell you about any news, and any changes, here at Richard's Game Reviews. However, I also use these pages as sort of an online journal; and I sometimes talk about day-to-day things in my personal life too.

I don't post to these pages regularly, or follow any certain schedule. In fact, I have been known not to post here for weeks, and occasionally even for months at a time. As I said in my very first What's New? post: I will post "as the spirit moves me." So, just check in here every once in a while to see if I have anything new to say.

I was driving around town today running some errands (in West Covina, California where I live). To be totally accurate, I was actually in neighboring La Puente. The traffic was brutal. I guess it didn't help that it was a Friday afternoon. As I was leaving the bank I saw a traffic collision. Actually, I stand corrected. I didn't so much as see the accident (although I may have partially caught a brief glimpse out of the corner of my eye) but rather I heard it and then looked up. A female driver rear-ended another female driver who was stopped in traffic. Thankfully, neither driver seemed to be hurt but the car that rear-ended the other one had quite a bit of damage. They say that we should always drive defensively, but sometimes no matter how careful we are some accidents are unavoidable.

I finally decided to replace my dilapidated lawn mower. It had been missing one of its wheels for more than a year and was certainly beyond repair. I purchased another Craftsman lawn mower from Sears. I have always had pretty good luck with Sears lawn mowers. I think I am just about the only remaining person on my street who does their own gardening. I don't mind doing it myself, expect in the hot summer weather. Besides that, mowing the lawn is just about the only exercise I get since I quit going to the gym.

Monday, June 20, 2011

I apologize for not posting any new games for the last week or so. Sometimes life gets hectic! As soon as things get back to normal I will start publishing some new games at my usual pace of about 2 to 3 per week. In the meantime, if you haven't done so already, you might want to take a look at my Richard's Favorite Games page where I recommend some of my personal favorites.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Would you like a good laugh... at my expense? After about 2 hours of trying to assemble the handle on my new lawn mower, I put my mower back in my van and drove off to Sears. I told the sales clerk, who looked like he was barely out of his teens, that I could not figure out how to get the starter rope into the rope guide on the handle. He said "sometimes there can be a piece of cardboard on the bottom that can cause the blade not to rotate" and he asked me to bring it into the store. At first he couldn't figure out what was wrong but then he decided to look at the blade (which was obviously what I should have done in the first place). Once glance and we both could immediately see what was wrong. The handle was blocking the rotation of the blade. It turns out there are two sets of holes on the handle and I choose to put the bolts in the wrong ones. Of course, once the handle was pulled up and extended competely, the blade could now rotate and the starter rope could be pulled up onto the handle. In the meantime my lawn has been growing like a jungle (crabgrass certainly grows faster than regular grass). If there was a contest for weed growing I would win the blue ribbon! Now... let's see if I can figure out how to assemble the grass catcher.

Speaking of being mechanically challenged, my cousin bought me my first microwave as a Christmas present. Yes, I know it is almost the end of June and summer officially began yesterday, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use it. It literally takes me several hours to cook one frozen dinner. I can't figure out how to make the microwave spin, nor do I know how long it will spin. After countless attempts, and reading the instruction book dozens of times, I finally decided to give up. (There was a guest on Jay Leno a few nights ago who was 100 years old. Jay asked her what she thought was the greatest invention in her lifetime. Her answer was "The microwave. Now I don't have to cook." So apparently a 100 year old woman can use a microwave, but not me). After my cousin returns from her Oklahoma vacation I will have to admit to my failure. But, at this point, even after she shows me how to use it I seriously doubt I will ever master the microwave. And, my freezer is half-filled with Weight Watchers microwave only frozen dinners.

My next door neighbor if off on a 10 day papal visit to Rome on Saturday! Her brother is a priest and he was able to invite one person to go along. Their trip includes a visit with Pope Benedict XVI. This should be the trip of a lifetime! (I wonder if cameras are allowed inside the Vatican?)

Saturday, June 25, 2011

After not working for about almost 3 full months, the Gutterball bowling game is back working again. Go figure?

Saturday, July 23, 2011

After more than 10 months I reluctantly came to the conclusion that it was time to remove the Heyzap game player from my site. For some reason, it simply never did create much interest.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

I just re-tooled my sidebars once again. Instead of having a drop-down arrow for the game categories I decided to go back to using a column format. Hopefully this will create a little more interest and make the information a little more accessible.

Monday, August 8, 2011

As you can see, I have added a large picture to the top of my site. The idea is to create a more professional look. After resizing the picture several times, and resizing and repositioning the header text, I now have a result I am happy with. I hope everyone likes the new design.

Saucer Shootin 1.5

Game Description: Can you shoot down the alien saucers before they overrun your trailer park and abduct you?

How to Play Saucer Shootin 1.5:
  • Click the 'Play' button.
  • Use mouse movement to position the cross hairs.
  • Left click to fire.
  • There are 5 levels of play.
  • Score 100 points for each flying saucer you shoot. (If you make it through all 5 levels, your accumulated points will be multiplied by your accuracy percentage to determine your final score. So, the fewer missed shots you have, the higher you will score).
  • Each time a flying saucer escapes, the abuction threat meter moves towards the right.
  • If the abduction meter fills competely up, you are abducted by the aliens... and you lose! (If you make it to level 5, the game seems to allow you to finish level 5 no matter how many flying saucers escape).

Saucer Shootin 1.5 Playing Tips:
  • When you get to the higher levels just try shooting randomly. Although you will end up with a lower score at the end of the game, shooting randomly does seem to work well.
  • Try shooting the saucers when they are big, before they shrink and get smaller. (Obviously, when they are bigger they are easier to hit).

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Pro: Saucer Shootin 1.5 is a quick and fun shooting game.

Con: There appears to be no sound control. So, you will need to adjust the speaker volume on your computer.

Con: There appears to be no control (at least that I can find) that allows you to turn off the background music or sound effects. So, you will need to adjust your speakers accordingly.

3D Games Page 1

While there are many games that claim to be 3D games, by simply putting the words "3D" in their names, the vast majority of these games are not actually true 3D games. Of course what makes a game 3D is rather subjective, and certainly open to one's interpretation. The games that you see on this page are, in my opinion, real 3D games. Take, for instance, Cheetah Chase and ToyRoom Game. In both games, when you crash your car, it is very easy to become disoriented and unable to figure out which way to go. Now that's what I call 3D! Other games like Street Sesh, and Street Sesh 2, have that undeniable depth that just screams 3D! So I hope you enjoy playing these "true" 3D games.

Crystal Battle

Game Description: Battle the computer in an exciting turn-based Match 3 game!

How to Play Crystal Battle:
  • Click the 'Play Game' button.
  • In Crystal Battle you will battle against your opponent, which is the computer.
  • Your goal is to destroy the computer's crystals before it destroys yours.
  • There are 3 types of crystals for each player: blue, pink, and green.
  • Each player begins the game with 100% of each of the 3 types of crystals.
  • Your statistics are shown by the 6 meters on the left.
  • The computer's statistics are shown by the 6 meters on the right.
  • There are 6 types of pieces on the board that you can match: the blue axe, the pink lightning bolt, the green archer's bow, the yellow hand, the turquoise shield, and the red heart.
  • The top 3 meters, for each player, shows how many blue, pink, and green crystals remain. This is indicated by a percentage.
  • The bottom 3 meters, for each player, are labeled: Double Hit, Shield, and Refill.
  • As each game begins, you always get the first turn.
  • After the first turn, play alternates between you and the computer.
  • You have 30 seconds for each turn. If your time gets down to the last 10 seconds, you will hear a warning sound. If you fail to make a move within the 30 seconds, you will lose your turn.
  • As with all Match 3 games, the idea is to swap adjacent pieces to make matches of 3 or more identical pieces in a row either hortizontally or vertically.
  • The two pieces you swap must be right next to each other either hortizontally or vertically, but not diagonally.
  • To swap the two pieces, you can either click on each piece one at a time, or use a dragging motion.
  • Match 3 or more blue axes to damage the blue crystal of your opponent.
  • Match 3 or more pink lightning bolts to damage the pink crystal of your opponent.
  • Match 3 or more green archer's bows to damage the green crystal of your opponent.
  • Match 3 or more yellow hands to power up your Double Hit meter. When your Double Hit meter is completely filled you can inflict extra damage to your opponents crystals with a double hit. The Double Hit only lasts for one turn. Then, you can start filling it up again.
  • Match 3 or more turquoise shields to power up your Shield meter. When your Shield meter is completely filled this will help you defend your crystals for one turn. Then, you can start filling it up again.
  • Match 3 or more red hearts to power up your Refill meter. When your Refill meter is completely filled, your crystals' health will be restored by 25%. You can fill up the Refill meter as many times as you need to.
  • Anytime you can make a match of 4 or more, you get an extra turn!
  • Should there be no more possible moves on the board, Crystal Battle will let you know. Then it will automatically reset the entire board.
  • You win if you are able to destroy all of the computer's crystals before it can destroy yours.
  • The computer wins if it can destroy all of your crystals first.

Crystal Battle Game Options:
  • The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located on the main game screen. (This must be done before you start the game because if you go back to the main menu after you begin, your game progress will be lost).
  • The game may be paused by clicking the 'Pause' button at the top. Click anywhere on the game screen to continue your game.

Crystal Battle Playing Tips:
  • Use strategy in making your matches. See where your opponent is the most vulnerable. Then, look for matches that will inflict the greatest damage to your opponent. For instance, if the computer's green crystals are already at 0% it does no good to make a match of green archer's bows. On the other hand, if the computer only has blue crystals remaining you would want to make matches of blue axes.
  • Of course, you also have to play defense as well as offense. Let's take the previous example that I mentioned about the green crystals where the computer's green crystals were at 0%. Now, let's suppose that you only have green crystals remaining. In that instance, you may want to make a defensive move by making a match of green archer's bows so the computer cannot do so on its turn; and thereby protect your green crystals.
  • Always try to make matches of 4 or more. Not only does this give you an extra turn, but sometimes it will open up even bigger and better moves.
  • I would say that of the 3 meters at the bottom (Double Hit, Shield, and Refill); that Refill (the one that you fill up by matching the red hearts) is probably the most important one. That, however, does not mean that Double Hit and Shield should be ignored. I just feel that Refill, by restoring the health of your crystals probably provides the greatest benefit. Of course, each game is different, and it all depends on how that particular game is going.

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Comments: It is somewhat unusual to find a turn-based Match 3 game. There does not seem to be very many of them around. This one, is excellent! If you are a Match 3 fan, give Crystal Battle a try. I think you will probably enjoy the experience.

Other Games: If you enjoy Crystal Battle, you may also like to play Battlegemz. Battlegemz is also a turn-based Match 3 game similar to Crystal Battle, but with the one big difference... you play against an actual human opponent in real time!
