Colorix: A Visually Stunning Match-Three Puzzler
Mobo Studio, a pretty unknown game developer, has plans to bring us yet another match three puzzle game in the kind of gameplay similar to Tetris. 3D marbles in clumps of three, fall from the top of the screen falling vertically onto the ground and it is your job to match three or more marbles of the same color either vertically, diagonally, or horizontally. 
The twist is that they have a wide array of “special” marbles and awesome combos to rack up your high score. With the regular colored marbles, there are rainbow marbles that fit to any color that it touches, a white marble that changes to random color upon landing, and black marbles that don’t fit to any color but simply take up space for a certain amount of turns and then explodes.
At first the game may seem easy enough, but playing more and more you begin to see that strategy is essetial in getting the best combinations and combos to attain your highest score.
Originally created for Android platform, Colorix is about to make it’s grand debut on the iPhone thanks to all it’s positive feedback from gamers. The visuals are the best you could possibly ask for in a match-three marble puzzle game and the gameplay has just enough excitement and variety to keep gamers satisfied.
Controls:
As the marbles fall, you have your choice of where to place the marbles with the slide of your finger horizontally. In order to switch the order of the three marbles while in mid-air, simply swing your finger vertically on the marbles how ever many times you like. For those who have cat-like reflexes and amazing “Tetris-skills”, you can choose to drop your marble combination down to the ground faster by double tapping the falling marbles. This will not only save you a couple seconds, but also award you a few extra points for your diligence.
What We Liked:
+ The best graphics a match-three puzzle app could possibly have + Multiplayer + 10 different combos you can set + Great looking 3D marbles and smooth animation + Solid gameplay + Various types of “special” marbles
What We Disliked:
- Controls are a little weird at first – No global scores (coming soon) – Adds nothing revolutionary to the genre
Final Verdict:
Although it was made for the Android, I believe Colorix will be an absolute hit on the iPhone. Thanks to the beautiful 3D graphics, the 10 different combos, the various types of “special” marbles, and the classic match-three gameplay, there is no doubt in my mind that lovers of the genre will find their new fave in Mobo Studio’s newest app. Along with tight controls and a multiplayer capability, the game is ready for prime-time and is a must-buy for puzzle lovers everywhere. It hasn’t hit the App Store just yet, but keep your eyes peeled for Colorix.
