Community Insight:
We have always loved this game! The gameplay and the sound design! Breaks our heart a bit to see it no longer in development.
Great game. Lots of replay value.
Intriguing and delight, our friends.
Being an we-phone user for the past two years, made us forget how to play this game, lol. But now we remember how to, & we have really enjoyed it in the past, so beaucoup kudos, its a great one, & gorgeously done ! We dont mind paying for this app, its terrific, & challenging enough ! Thank you.
This game is addictive. This is our second time now searching through our purchase history because we couldnt quite remember the name and was craving a re-download. Just really really fun.
We're glad the developers continue to support this game. We would hate to see it die when iOS 11 comes out. We bumped our original rating up one star just for that.
For the 64bit support! Great game, very recommended.
It would be nice to change the tailsman when having trouble winning the game level but we cant find the way to do this feature. Especially when Im not able to make the previous one to get the job done. Please advise if possible. Thanks. The other game with the same name, well sort of, is really hard but Ive made it to the very end several times but we dont like having to Try it again too many times. You dont have many reviews and those were written several years ago. Many other game apps are great because the developers make sure its easier to win so players CAN RELAX and not worry about having to start over again and again. Not everyone has the time and the money realizing the hard levels are a bust.
We bought Azkend 2 and like it so much we went ahead and bought this one too. We love it, unique gameplay and no IAP! Even though its lower resolution than the sequel, that doesnt ruin the gameplay. In fact the one thing we like about it better than the sequel is that its portrait, not landscape. Glad we bought it.
Lazy iPhone 5 & 5s support. Just stretched out and looks ugly. Besides that it actually is a great game though.
This was great 4 hours of game time, non stop. Yes please – more like this.
Fantastic graphics and sound, enjoy it. Better than the 2th generation. Our favorite iPhone game.
We've been looking for a fun game to play while riding home on the subway and this definitely fits the bill. Easy to use with one hand while holding in with the other. We just hope new levels are added soon. We're almost finished.
This is a great game, we love it!! And play it often.
We love this game it help pass the time!!! We've had this game for years and we constantly replay it.
Super Spiel mit Suchtfaktor! Kleiner Minuspunkt wegen dem ich jedoch trotzdem nicht nur 4 Sterne gebe, ist das die Einstellungen der Soundeffekte und der Musik immer zurckstellen. Das heit man muss jedes mal wieder die Musik ausschalten, wenn man diese nicht hren mchte. Das ist ein wenig nervig, weil ich beim spielen am liebsten meine eigene Musik hre Gut ist aber, dass der Musikplayer nicht automatisch pausiert man die App ffnet, was mich noch mehr rgern wrde Also:.
Love this game. We wish you have it on other device like kindle fire and so on. Thank.
This game is super fun! We went through it a few times until we got all the stars. It was the perfect level of difficulty and totally addicting.
We lovee it! We got it when it was a free deal! A must get:).
Everything done right with this game. The music; the difficulty progression is seamless. The progression is intuitive and the story makes sense and is fun. If you want to learn how to make an app use this as a model.
We spend entirely too much time with this game. Immensely engaging, tough day at work… Azkend therapy. Trouble falling asleep? Azkend lullaby. Got work to do, Azkend procrastination. Like any good thing, moderation is key. Thanks for a great game with many levels to entertain. We have conquered it, yet still enjoy coming back for more. Thank you.
We love this game! It's like bejeweled meets mysticism/magic! Highly recommend this game. <3.
We have so much fun by playing this game.
A lot of tile-matching games are basically Bejeweled clones. This is not one of them. The game is played by dragging your finger across matching chains of tiles. But, the "tiles" are actually HEXAGONS, so you can move up, down, and two directions of left and right. Also, you unlock special abilities that are activated of chaining 4+ of certain tiles. There are also other mechanics you have to think about: lightning, the timer, "painted" tiles, locked tiles, 2-hit tiles, and talisman pieces. So in short, pure fun in the form of an app.
Love, love, love!!!! Ive finished the game numerous times and always look forward to playing it again. Its challenging & frustrating but so much fun at the same time!!! Theres a part 2 knockoff version available now that theyre charging out the wazoo for and it doesnt even compare!! Please make a second one because if you build it…they will come. Thanks : ).
It's a simple and fun game. Very easy to pick up and good for your free time.
This is a great game one that always had value to it, but now it needs to be updated to support the new iPhone. We hope the developers don't abandon updating this game due to Azkend 2 would be a real shame. Here's hoping to a proper update.
Liked the game, but finished it in three days. Thought it wasn't challenging enough.
Well, at first racing against the clock was fun and challenging, as well as not too hard. But then we got first "No more moves" – and time increased! What the heck?! Is it our fault or your algorithm fault so there's no more moves?! Game deserve only 3 stars because of this failure. We're completionist so our aim is to complete each level with a star. And your system is bad, because there's even no restart option here.
It's different from other games you've seen Most addicting game out of others.
Get it now! It's worth every penny.
U really have to try this game. Haven't seen one quite like it! It.
Now if there was a reset for the survival Game mode.
We love this game so much as well as its OST!!!!! Could the developers offer us game's OST? The songs are so elegant and holy! We are addicted to them really! Beg twice.
Like it. Can't stop playing…!!!!! :).
We downloaded this because its from the makers of sparkle, which is one of our favorite games. We really enjoy this game as well. It's fast-paced, challenging but still fun, and has great functionality and beautiful graphics.
This game is like the best game ever us and our mom play this game all the time ps we beat this game in 5 days U people rock.
It kept us occupied for a few days. Really good free game.
Great, addicting & beautiful graphics. A winner.
Had soooooo much fun playing this game:) has this game have any difference (more stages) after an upgrade.
Great gem-matching-type game. The core gameplay is addictive, and the presentation is quite nice. If the unlockables were more meaningful, this game would be worthy of five stars. Still a great game to have.
You should get this app if you need something to do, it is pretty cool! We rate 4 stars because it is not the best game in the world.
This is a really fun matching game, probably our favorite next to Bejeweled! The only thing that needs fixing with this app is the settings options need to stop reverting back to their original settings every time we close the app. It's annoying having to disable the music and hint every time we open the app.
Not sure if we would pay $3 for it but it's a great game. The storyline is terribly cheesy but we forgive them.
Beat the whole game and deleted it. And came by here to give it 5 stars :) By the way,the lightning talismen is the best one out of all.
Only Azkend and Call of Atlantis are the best match 3 games out there by far. We've tried them all (seriously we have 4 folders worth lol), and they beat the rest hands down. The icons, the special effects, the time limit, and more excel in every way in this game. Buy it now, you won't be sorry.
This game has great ambience and, as the players progress and learn different powers (talismans), more of the story is revealed. The journey is long and a puzzle-like game feature helps slow the pace, allowing users to appreciate the detailed artwork. There is a lot of challenge here, which will require the different talismans, a keen eye for long chains, quick decision-making, and a dash of luck. While there's a great story mode, there's also a challenging "survival" mode which is more than a simple forever mode: collect all of the stars as more tile types appear before the timer runs out! Pertinent music complements this high quality game.
One of the best puzzle games we've enjoyed on our iPod Touch 4G. It is well balanced, but with enough challenge to keep you coming back even after completion. It also passes our test: Did we ever say to ourselves, "Just one more try…" only to try 5+ more times? YES! Enjoy.
"When Alexander heard from Anaxarchus of the infinite number of worlds, he wept, and when his friends asked him what was the matter, he replied, "Is it not a matter for tears that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we have not conquered one? " -Life of Alexander "Now that we have completed this game an infinite number of times, we wept… Because we are a whiny crybaby." -Boris Yeltsin FBS.
Of our 200+ apps, this is in our top 5 and definitely the best puzzle game we own. The graphics are great and the gameplay is flawless. Don't even hesitate paying $3. This is way better than a Big Mac. If you have any doubts, get the free version. We played about 30 seconds of it, went to the app store and bought the paid version, and continued to play the free one while we were waiting for the download.
