Yummy Dreams: Jelly Rainbow

Match-three games do not need to be overly complex in order to engage their audience, given the fact that there are so many examples of relatively simple games with millions of players all over the world. On the other hand, they do need to feature a couple of original mechanics nowadays, otherwise returning players might get bored with the same routine over and over again.

Yummy Dreams: Jelly Rainbow is a match-3 game in which your primary purpose is to clear the board of colorful candy and gain as many points as you can. The formula is obviously the same as in every other game in the genre, but there are a couple of interesting new mechanics that might attract curious games. On top of that, the selection of levels is big enough to keep players occupied for a long time.

There’s not much of a story to follow, but the main characters are pretty cute, at least for the younger audiences. In essence, there’s no actual plot, but the journey takes you all over a fantastic land, and you get to see a lot of candy on the way there. Still, it’s usually nicer to have some sort of purpose along the way.

The levels get tougher and tougher as you manage to complete more and more of them, and new mechanics make an appearance as well. Thus, you always have a move limit to watch out for, but you also need to be careful around frozen tiles and various other such gimmicks. Thankfully, there are power-ups that come in hand, such as causing explosions or removing a single tile from the board.

Each combo you make can yield a special piece of candy as well, depending on whether you match four or more pieces at the same time. Some of these can clear out a whole line or row, while others cause mini-explosions that can be combined to obtain a much larger detonation. The graphics are very colorful and pleasant, although they may cause you to crave candy.

In the end, Yummy Dreams: Jelly Rainbow is not exactly complex, but it can be very challenging after the first handful of levels. It also features a plethora of stages, so it should be able to keep you busy for a while.
