2023-05-13	WR*****	This old game still plays fantastic on my new phone. No issues. Super user friendly UI, and no ads or IAP. Small file size and good on battery. I don’t agree with other reviews saying it’s too easy or that it lacks content. Strategy and luck have to align just right for you to win. I’ve come close but haven’t won yet. The brilliance of this game is that it tracks two high scores: a win score, and a death score. So even if you lose, you get a score to try to beat next time. This keeps you motivated. And once you win, you get a high score to try to beat next time you win. So you don’t need more content, as some are wishing it had. I find this game perfect as is. And because it saves at all times, you can just make one move if that’s all you have time for. So you’ll find yourself playing a lot here and there. It’s a perfect filler game for any downtime you have. And because it’s not overly long, it’s not daunting to start over. This is one of those rare perfect games that, old as it is, still looks and works perfectly. I highly recommend this game. It’s a match 3 with light strategy and some luck. Awesome.

2020-03-05	Bi*****	But it could be SO MUCH better! Pros: The gameplay is addictive and fun, I love most of the sound effects and graphics and it keeps me on my toes! It never gets boring! Cons: WAY too pricey for what you get, plus It’s not rewarding - at all! No reward for matching 4-5 items, no boosts or power ups to encourage you, and the boosts they DO offer don’t work out very well. There’s only 3 levels and the tutorial could be a little more thorough. Plus, this game WILL make you rage!!!! It’s incredibly frustrating and I hate the sound of being bonked on the head! It gets stressful very quickly! The cons are more annoying nitpicks that should be fixed more than anything, except for the price! Make it a LOT cheaper or add more levels and rewards! At least update the game once in a while!

2018-01-09	Aw*****	The concept is pretty cool and fun, but it really isn't enough in itself to be worth it in my opinion. Would be so much nicer if there was a mode where you could use your coins/score to upgrade your weapons/skills/characters/etc. and some kind of unlocks would make it so much better...

2017-06-20	be*****	Fun twist on Match 3. The playfield is a dungeon map and you can move your character around collecting keys and fighting monsters. But this feels like a prototype. No character progression, only one character, no weapons and very few skills. Doesn't even have rewards for making matches! Each game is a high score run, and once mastered, is pretty easy to accomplish unless you get a string of bad luck. Art is nice and core concept is awesome but needs so much more to make a worthwhile purchase. Swap Sword 2 please!!!

2017-02-20	Mr*****	This game is super addictive. Once you beat the game, you realize that the score chase is deep and the strategy is deeper than it first appears. You'll find yourself compulsively playing "just one more run" over and over. This is a perfect bus/train game. I love it!

Love this game.
2017-02-18	ND*****	Just a frustrating grind to always start over from scratch. Not enjoyable. Progress almost never occurs and it is random at best. Vastly overpriced. Ugh. Just, Ugh. ...this is not the game you are looking for.
