The sequel to 10,000,000 that somehow feels slightly worse than the original. It's still a good time though.

not really an improvement from the first one, progress feels better near the end of the game but til then its pretty stale. i had fun matching 3 like an ape tho and its one of the only match 3 games that doesnt look like an old medieval casino slot game a lot more difficult & runs last shorter and feel less rewarding enemy type resistance is much more punishing shield is very bad now items take up grid space & grid was also made smaller from 10million for some reason traps are not fun spam click upgrades and little cutscenes are annoying

The premise is a silly vehicle for an addictive, fast paced roguelike, match 3, endless runner, which is not a combo you see much of.

This game is amazing and endlessly replayable. It's the best match 3 game of all time.
