Hi, all! Hi, kids! Sorry for the lack of post in a long while, despite me promising so. I'll try my best and get the next post out in June and then keep going regularly. With that out of the way, let's get straight to the review!

The game doesn't follow any elaborate plot. First, the gameplay, while rather simple, is fun and allows the player to relax and enjoy their experience. There are also many versions of the game available, where sea creatures, jewels or robota can be stacked on pairs and then pop. Again, whi...
