Bejeweled Blitz vs Rise Up
Bejeweled Blitz
Bejeweled Blitz is one of the very first popular match-3 game before all the hoohah with Candy Crush Saga began. Back then, Bejeweled Blitz dominated Facebook's games market and almost everyone was playing it. After all, why not? The game is intense and challenging since you are only given a limited amount of time to match as many 3s as you can and as rapidly as possible just so you can rack up some sweet combos. The game also utilizes Facebook's social feature by pitting your highest score with your fellow Facebook friends, further motivating you to up your game in hopes of overtaking the others in front of you on the leaderboard.In some way, Bejeweled Blitz set the motion for other match-3 games... and eventually Candy Crush Saga... to set up shop on Facebook, providing hours after hours of fun for its competitive players to find creative ways to up their game. Of course, being based on the popular Bejeweled franchise helps a lot as well. So, if you're looking for a time-limited and fast-paced match-3 gameplay, Bejeweled Blitz is a game you should play. The game is no longer on Facebook, but you can still enjoy the game on your mobile devices.
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
