    This is definitely one of my favorite Iphone games of 2011. I have sunk hours and hours into trying to improve my high score. My advice is to pick this up immediately!

    yup, silverfish is a great game...


    I'm not really feeling Match Panic though... =o/

    I just don't know what's so spiffy about tapping the correct side of the screen...

    My kids might really enjoy it though... =oP

    imo, this type of gameplay appeals more to the taptap rev buffs. tappity tap your way to a big score. but i do feel that this type of game is very challenging, hand-eye coordination and what not. not brilliant, but does the trick, plus it's fun to compete and see how you stand versus other players around the globe.

    hmm... I got to... I dunno what stage it was, but I had 3 characters on one side and 4 on the other... and I ended up quitting... =o/

    Just couldn't stay with it any more...


    Oh well...

    I am sure that there's people that will enjoy this one quite a bit... I know there's loads from just looking in the thread... but... meh... not for me... =o/

    It's not a bad little time waster, but as far as matching games, I think Blokzilla is quite a bit more fun and challenging than this one. Although even that loses some of its sense of accomplishment after you beat some of its modes (1-minute, 2-minutes, etc.)

    haven't played blokzilla myself but, as i wrote in a previous post, there's swipetaptap, which is very similar to match panic in gameplay, but imho is better than it.

    The gameplay in Blokzilla is considerably different, but you're still matching objects under time pressures. Difference is that you're playing with a grid of objects and have to find the matches.

    SwipeTapTap is closer to this (and probably a bit better). But with its whopping 3 MB file size, I might keep this one on my iPod Touch for a while. Still semi-addictive.

    I was playing this when I walked my dog, it had my eyes rolling in my skull and caused me to walk into a few bushes, haha. But despite the speed you generate making it quite hard in places, this game was great and fun and made me feel like I was a lot better at the game than I really was. Lol.
