Angry Birds Match vs Farm Slam
Angry Birds Match
Angry Birds Match adds a different twist to the usual slingshot-based gameplay that the Angry Birds franchise is incredibly renowned for. In this brand-new spin-off, Rovio delivers a whole new match-3 adventure where you'll not only need to organize the Hatchlings' party but also to protect it from the mischievous pigs. Mix and match up tons of cakes and party decor to solve the many and varied puzzle levels available. You can also bring out the big boys a.k.a. the Angry Birds like Red, Chuck, and Bomb with a match-4, and use explosive Boosters to clear the toughest levels. The best part of this game though, aside from the fact that you can play this game completely offline, is definitely the crazy-cute Hatchlings that you can collect. You can even visit them and put on the new outfits you've unlocked!Angry Birds Match may have done a complete 360 on the iconic gameplay that had made the franchise famous, but this isn't exactly their first attempt at doing so - There's an Angry Birds-themed racing game called Angry Birds Go! after all. That being said, this new game does help Rovio experiment with various other game genres just to see which new field they can expand the franchise into... and apparently, the casual match-3 genre is a pretty good bet.
Farm Slam
Farm Slam is a fun-filled, farm-themed match-3 puzzle game whereby you are tasked with the restoration and rebuilding of a farm in the valley. Match 3 or more fruits and vegetables of the same type to collect them from the board, and if you match more than 3, you can get some really special crops which can clear entire rows or columns, or even all the other farm produce around them in a magnificent fashion! There are tons of exciting challenges and obstacles that will put your matching skills to the test as well. Due to this, the game does have some helpful power-ups that you can buy so you can solve some of the tougher levels.Not to mention, by earning energy, tools, and building materials, you can spruce the place up with brilliant decor, restore rundown buildings like the barn and the windmill, and even clear away obstacles on your farmland, such as stones and tree stumps, to open up more building slots. You can also expand your farm by piecing together parts of the deeds you'll need to claim neighboring plots of land.
Farm Slam is a very well-made match-3 puzzle/simulation game that mimics games like Matchington Mansion in many ways albeit with a much different theme. The game is incredibly fun to play and it just feels satisfying to be able to help restore the originally beautiful farm.
