Deep Voyage Demo

Simple puzzle games are designed to keep your mind running even when you decide to play a video game instead of doing something else. However, some puzzles are more difficult than others and you can certainly solve some of them without being fully conscious, especially since many are based on repetition, rather than rational thinking or trial and error.

Deep Voyage is a game in which you get to play around with all sorts of colorful underwater objects, as well as see a variety of dreamy landscapes featuring sunken cities, beautiful fish and the occasional mermaid to keep the mystery going. Moreover, there are plenty of mini-games involved as well, most of which are pretty quick and simple to grasp, regardless of your experience in the domain.

There is even a background story to give some purpose to your actions and it is as dreamy and pompous as you would expect: a mermaid needs to do her best in order to design a beautiful underwater garden and win the competition along with the great prize. The rules say that the participants must be able to tackle a variety of situations, which is basically the explanation for the mini-games.

The main games is the color-matching puzzle, however, since that is where all of your bonuses go when you are asked to choose them. Speaking of which, you can upgrade your abilities and be able to cause explosions around a certain square, as well as obliterate an entire column of gems with a simple click, if you wish to do so.

The rounds you win get you closer and closer to the final garden design, since you get to place another building with every other successful round. In the end, it is kind of impossible to lose the competition, but you can obtain a different result, depending on how you place the pieces along the way and which ones do you choose to leave out of the final design.

Fortunately, you can be certain that you won’t get bored with Deep Voyage, since the levels get more and more difficult as you advance through them. They require clever use of your power-ups, as well as some careful planning if you want to respect the time limits and avoid forfeiting the round.
