Match 3D Flick Puzzle is a creative pick up and play game which adds a few new concepts to classics like Bejeweled [iTunes Link].  The objective remains the same, score as many points as possible by matching three of the same objects or more.  To do this simply tap the first object and then an adjacent object, the two will swap and (hopefully) form a pair.  Like word search puzzles you need a good eye and in the case of Match 3D, you need fast timing.

The quicker you scout for matches the longer you’ll last in the game, once the timer reaches the end in either Classic or Survival mode, the game is over.  By racking higher combination’s and more matches at the same time, you’ll receive time bonuses.  The unique and spectacular concept for Match 3D Flick Puzzle is the completely 3D gameplay.  Rather then matching objects on a 2D surface, you have to match them on six faces of a cube.  You can even select a specific part inside the cube and look for matches internally.

The entire interface uses full multi-touch controls that allow you to pinch to zoom, rotate, and swipe around the cube to manipulate your perspective view.  Combination’s can be created from multiple planes making this a very intriguing game.  The graphics are excellently rendered and don’t become pixelated when you zoom in all the way on the cube.  The sound effects match the theme perfectly however a lot of people will find the background music annoying, you can easily play your own iPod music without stability problems.  The only glitches I’ve been able to find are a few touch interface glitches (unresponsiveness, etc), all of which are pretty rare and shouldn’t affect gameplay.

All in all Match 3D Flick Puzzle is an amazing new perspective on the classic match ‘em up gameplay concept.  For four dollars Match 3D can provide you with hours of fun – definitely check this one out.  This app will not be deleted off my iPod for a long while.

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 9.2/10 – A whole new gameplay concept.
