Under consideration is a match 3 game The Cindy’s Travels: Flooded Kingdom produced by BigFishGames company. The gamestory makes you play as Cindy, who is traveling in the magic kingdom full of pizza boxes, food scraps and other garbage. Your goal is to help Cindy navigate through the “junk” around her by making matches of 3 or more. As you play, you need to clear the tiles directly in front of her, following along the highlighted path.

The game is graphically pleasing and fresh. There are lots of nice visual effects, like animated day and night screens, and different lighting effects.

Flooded Kingdom also combines some mini-games that flow with the game and actually seem as a part of the overall game process. They are quite clever, such as looking for hidden objects from an overhead view.

There is no timer, and if it is good, everyone decides for himself. You can play in your own manner of course, but we think that this is a cause of a minimal challenge. So the game would be better if it had a score or a timer. That’s why even the power-ups the game offers you are useless in general – you can manage the level without the risk of fail. To sum it up, The Cindy’s Travels: Flooded Kingdom is rather funny and captivating game for the whole family!
