Let us tell you about a new match 3 puzzle by Alawar company The Enchanting Islands. Play as Alice, a young sorcerer, who should save the islands from evil spell. You should match three or more elements of the same type to gather them.

There are five islands you’ll journey to, where more than six dozen levels will require your skill and precision to quickly gather the necessary ingredients before the time runs out. The game features 3 magic tools to help you.

We like one twist the game offers. Before you move to a new island, you have to beat the boss battle. This is really something different. You make matches of three or more, as usual but there is a monster scrolling around at the bottom of the screen. You need to make your matches over his head, in order for the tiles falling on him damage the monster.

At the end of each level, a special level where your attention to detail is very important, as you need to find semi-transparent fruit shaped objects.

The backgrounds are colorful, music is nice, and in general the gameplay is well-polished and smooth. The Enchanting Islands has a good length but still we couldn’t play it in one breathe cause after some time it seemed repetitive. Well, the game is easy to learn and accessible for all ages. We think it offers everything a match3 game should have.
