Old Clockmakers Riddle
SCORE: 76
This tiny little town has been cursed and
it is up to the player of Old Clockmaker's Riddle to free them. How will
you free them? By playing match three levels. There are certain special
gems that need to be matched with two or more of the same kind
vertically or horizontally. When the player hits the required number
(for that level) they can move on.
Old Clockmaker's Riddle is very deceptive at first. I beat a level and I
freed a building. I could use my gems (acquired in the levels) to
purchase tools and upgrades to the tools. I was then able to use those
tools in the levels. It did not take this game very long to require I
complete two levels to free a house, and then three levels. I initially
thought I would breeze through Old Clockmaker's Riddle. That assumption
was quickly shattered.
As I started to play Old Clockmaker's Riddle I realized it has an eerie
dark and dank feel to it. Then I got to the match three screens, and it
looked a lot better. Freeing a house from the curse improves the
graphics of the town as well. I found the music in the match three
screens to be relaxing the soothing. The town music accentuates the mood
of that town.
Old Clockmaker's Riddle is very kind to players. There are two different
difficulty settings for families. The relaxed mode is non-timed so you
can beat the level at your leisure. Or you can try and beat the clock. I
prefer taking my time. I despise spending time on a level only to not
beat in quick enough. Then I have to repeat what I previously did.
Old Clockmaker's Riddle is one of those games you can try before you
buy. So you can see if the game interests you before purchasing it. If
you decide to purchase it, then you will spend $4.99. I know of plenty
other match three games for $0.99. Old Clockmaker's Riddle is a solid
match three game with fifty levels to play through.
