Popper Lands Colony

Caring for a family is very hard work, so you can only imagine how much tougher it is to build an entire community and tend to everyone's needs. Early pioneers had to deal with this problem when founding new villages and towns, especially since no one was really an expert in the field. On the other hand, it’s a lot easier if you try to please everyone by doing what they want.

Popper Lands Colony is a puzzle game in which you have to solve puzzles by popping colorful balloons as efficiently as possible. There are other objectives you have to accomplish along the way, although it depends on the difficulty level you choose. On top of it all, you can also gather currency and use it to build structures in order to create a prospering community.

As the name of the game clearly states, the new community is called Popper Lands Colony, and you have to put everything in order before the governor drops by to inspect it. In order to do so you have to mine gold and various other precious stones, which in turn can be exchanged for materials required for the buildings. It’s a simple formula, but it gives you a sense of purpose.

You can choose between multiple difficulty modes, depending on whether you are a hardened match-three player or a beginner. The relaxed mode does not require you to achieve your goal in a set number of moves, so it’s a lot easier to deal with for newcomers. On the other hand, there’s no challenge left if you can keep playing until you win every time, so it’s up to you to choose the best solution.

Since you have to use the mouse to shoot the bubbles, you also need to practice your aim a little bit if you want to hit your mark every time. It’s even possible to use the walls for ricochets, and it’s actually a requirement in the later levels where things get tougher. Lastly, the graphics are not bad either, but don’t expect anything revolutionary in this regard.

When it’s all said and done, Popper Lands Colony can easily keep you busy for a few hours, especially on the tougher difficulty level. However, it also gets fairly repetitive after a while, given the fact that it lacks variety or a broader selection of gameplay mechanics. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
