An outstanding match-3 puzzle game where the player rebuilds communities with the geisha and samurai. The graphics and puzzle mechanics are very impressive; they can be played through match-3, chain or block formats - in relaxed or challenge modes. Clearly, I became "addicted" to the game perhaps 10 years ago as it is simply the type of match-3 game which cannot be stopped. Full credit to developers Green Sauce!

Fine little match-3 game. I love the gameplay loop of slowly building up a town with resources collected through match-3 levels, and this game utilizes that mechanic to an extent. The setting is fine and the soundtrack unexpectedly goes hard sometimes. Being able to switch up the game mode after every level keeps it a little bit more interesting. What I don't love is how the rules seem to change on you. It's at times unpredictable where new tiles come from (ie you expect them to fall down, but instead a new tile will just appear in the empty spot), tiles used in a match don't always register as used in terms of the layers/locks it breaks, some edges at the top of the level randomly don't spawn new tiles, and I could go on. It's kind of a mess sometimes. The challenge mode is unreasonably hard. Just play on relaxed mode. The sound mixing is quite off, some sound effects (especially when compounded in combo moves) are straight-up uncomfortable for your ears if you play with headphones. But really, all in all it's fine, just a nice relaxing match-3 town builder.
