Games can be very exciting though at times it feels nice just to sit in a cozy space with a good puzzle to ease yet stimulate the mind which is why there are puzzle games like Island Puzzle. You follow the journey of a stray black cat that through a series of events has ended up in parts unknown. The cat may be from the city but it won't take long for you and the cat to realize that the island has plenty of bounty and beauty to spare. Of course, gathering is not as simple as just picking fruits since you'll need to think your way through the various elements in order to progress, collect, and see even more of the island.
About Island Puzzle
There are all sorts of puzzle games but those that use matching mechanics are common and popular because they're easy to understand. This is a game that takes matching to another level with its strange-shaped puzzle boards and more freeform gameplay. If you don't consider yourself a skilled matching puzzle player, then this is a good game to get started and get some much-needed practice. It teaches you to view the chips and their arrangements much more closely which can translate to greater awareness in other puzzle games. With this, maybe you'll feel confident in traveling to other puzzling islands.
How to Play
Island Puzzle is a 2D matching puzzle game taking place on a lush island that you can play with just the mouse. Use the cursor to navigate the UI and the Left Mouse Button to interact with the different chips. To make matches, you need to click and drag a pattern. The goal of each level is to meet the matching requirements while aiming for additional matches for greater rewards.
From the main menu, you can start playing by pressing the button in the lower right corner. The level prompt will show you the required chips you need to match and give you the option to select boosters if you have any available. After this, you'll be shown the puzzle board where a group of randomized chips will fall in. To make a match, simply link three or more of the same chips together. As long as the chips are right beside, under, over, or diagonally from each other, you can make a long chain of matches. You only have a limited amount of moves to meet the level requirements and if you go over, you'll need to start over.
The star dial to the right indicates buildup for boosters in the level. The longer your chain of matches, the more powerful the booster will be. They can take on multiple forms: Line bombs can clear out rows or columns of chips, square bombs can clear large sections, and star bombs can transform sections of chips into the same type that you match to it.
As you complete levels, you'll earn coins based on your matches and efficiency. Back at the home screen, you can examine the checklist in the corner to complete tasks, get a bit of story, and decorate the open island space.
Tips and Tricks
This is a very relaxed puzzle game that is very generous with its piece and matching mechanics so there's no need to stress. The required chips should take priority, but also see if you can eliminate the majority currently on the board to quickly open up space. Save bombs for emergencies and when their placement is the most effective.
