This becomes a five star game the moment you get to explode a sniveling king into blood while children cheer.

I don't want to belabor the point, but this is puzzle bliss. Makes you feel like a genius, oozes with style, gorgeous animation, chill tunes, and its core puzzle is so simple an illiterate child could understand it while being deep enough to keep aficionados like me tapping my pterion like Winnie the gahtdang Pooh.

The best mobile game I've ever played. The cartoonishness of its art direction and sound design are right up my alley, but those aspects pale in comparison to the sheer addictiveness of its color-matching gameplay. A relatively limited palette of mechanics are tweaked and remixed ever so slightly over dozens of levels to keep the experience feeling fresh and rewarding. There's some really masterful game design at work here.

It's also just so refreshing to play a game like this without a constant barrage of advertisements, timers and microtransactions. As a developer I have mixed feelings about Apple Arcade, but its value to players is easily proven through experiences like this.

I'm completely addicted to this game now that it's finally on Steam. The base gameplay system is as simple as it is engaging and the cartoony visuals and violence never get old.

But it has TOO MANY levels. A lot of them feel like padding and don't offer cool gimmicks or enemy distribution. The 'game-as-a-service-like' systems like daily quests and such were not needed at all and it can't get grindy when you suddenly realize you need more crowns to advance. At least there are no microtransactions.

I'm really loving this game, but I think I would enjoy it more on mobile on Switch. Its obviously made with a touch screen in mind. But that's not an excuse to try it on any platform. Its really great.
