Candy Crush Friends Saga vs Marble Viola's Quest
Candy Crush Friends Saga
Candy Crush Friends Saga is brand-new match-3 puzzle adventure from the Candy Crush franchise, developed by none other than King. This game attempt to move pass the franchise's usual match-3 gameplay by adding in fun new game modes, such as dunk the cookie in the chocolate and free the octopuses and the mammoths, as well as the fact that you can now call on your favorite characters, your "friends", in the game for help. The game rewards are also so much more attractive this time around because you get to collect more friends and their outfits. However, many players have pointed out that the game has a pretty obvious cash-grab scheme - the little piggy banks that you get for "free" can only be opened using 30 Gold Bars. It would have been nice if there's a free option to open such rewards, like a long waiting period, maybe?Overall, Candy Crush Friends Saga builds on the original games by providing its fans with exciting new game modes and friends whom you could call upon for help, while retaining the style that had made the franchise popular among gamers. It is definitely a step up!
Marble Viola's Quest
Marble Viola's Quest is a casual marble shooter game that puts you in the shoes of Viola, who sets off on a quest to stop the evil Desmond the weasel from stealing all the magic from the marbles. This game features the usual gameplay of aiming and shooting marbles to make matches of 3 or more marbles of the same color. You can tap on the shooter to switch marbles, and there are the usual power-ups that will randomly appear (though they vanish fairly quickly) where you can collect to trigger the chain reverse, stop, or slowed-down effect.Interestingly, this game provides you with a number of additional aid in the form of fireflies, dynamites or even special Chakra-infused marbles that can blast away bothersome marbles. These helpful features will definitely come in handy because well, the game does have some pretty challenging level goals and obstacles.
What I really like about this game though is definitely the boss fights. It may not be unique but it’s still truly intense as you try to make a gap wide enough for you to shoot a marble through to hit Desmond the weasel. You’ll also gradually need to make more hits for Desmond to go away, so there’s your challenge, right there!
Marble Viola's Quest is definitely one of those rare, fun yet challenging marble shooters that may rival iconic games like Zuma. The game's completely free to play and it is available on Google Play.
