Swap & Match-3 Games

[LordGek]

I have to chime in that I for one, as a big fan of match 3 games, hate the new trend toward IAP currencies being needed to enable boosts in a game.

I'm more than okay paying an IAP to unlock the full version, a new game mode, even the use of some new power-ups, but the idea of needing to constantly repurchase boosts for each session makes me sick. While most games following Bejweled's lead will at least let you earn the game currency in-game, more often than not it means lots of grinding to them be able to buy just 1 instance of a given power-up OR coughing up some real cash to do so instantly. So I always come away feeling that even though I bought the game I'm really just leasing it as I'll never be able to get it's full expereince unless I'm willing to pre-pay a little something (via grinding or cash) for every time I play it

When I started this topic I browsed all Puzzles game form iTunes... Not too much games back then.

Anyway, downloading...

One of my favorites has always been Montezuma 1 & 2. Not a big fan of 3 though.

Agreed, Montezuma 2 is great.

Charmed is also one of my go to match 3's

...

I personally like Bejeweled's Classic mode and we've created this:



Jewel Next

Match jewels to create new jewels.
Create and collect more than 55 jewels!
What will be the last jewel?

Jewel Next features no IAP because it's against my 'mental rule' - I prefer paid games without IAP

So, I just did my pitch as a dev , click and see what's in there
