Sliding Seas 4+

In general, I hate anything resembling a “match 3” type game. This is, but isn’t. I also play games to relax so making it easy enough that I don’t get frustrated is amazing! It’s a logic/strategic game and a mayor/town game at the same time. ‘Tis fun! Ads are there but are occasional. And they’re always the 5sec ones if it’s a rando pop up one. And after each level it gives you an option to watch a full 30sec and for 2x the amount of diamonds and that’s amazing! If I don’t have many then I skip it, but if I do really well and end up with 75+ diamonds on that level, it’s totally worth 30sec. I think there’s an ad free version. But it’s not that bad tbh. The amount of diamonds you get and how easy it is to earn them is perfect. It’s never frustrating bc usually you can play a level until you make enough diamonds to buy a booster or something. That’s awesome! Like, even if you lose the level, you still get your diamonds. Love that. As a poor person who loves games, this is perfect.

TL:DR
Definitely recommend! Some ads, not bad compared to majority of games!! Ample opportunity to earn currency. Please download if you’re looking for a relaxing and fun game!

Everything about this game is incredibly well thought out. The art and animation are cute and clean yet detailed w lil things like the docked rescue boat gently rocking in place as it would IRL. And the style has its own unique charm even in today's ubiquitous kawaii/cartoon genre. I love the variety the VIPS + treasure and whirlpool levels add. UI/dashboard is exactly what you need, nothing you don't, no zillion tabs to navigate. Unlike some building+match games, both elements feel balanced and part of the same game w each having their own joy vs one being superfluous or a slog. A few notes: There is an option to turn off hints, but I wish you could just lengthen the timer since they seem to show up after only 5-10 secs. Overall, gameplay is pretty intuitive and instructions are presented clearly w/o being obtrusive, but it did take me a while to figure out water height goes from darkest to light even tho that's genius, as well as the dotted lines between tiles. Oh, and the sparing use of ads is 👌🏼. Thank you for making this wonderful game!

This game is so fun I can’t stop playing and I use all the diamonds I earn on hearts. I downloaded it on my tablet to play during breaks during shows but I’ve noticed I’ve sat and played it for hours at a time, I’m almost at level 150 now! I love how the castaways give you notifications of when time is almost up to rescue them because I like to imagine that they are being ungrateful and saying I’m too slow to rescue them, so I usually try to rescue other survivors instead during the time to complete the quest just out of pettiness. I also feel like the survivors are ungrateful because just rescuing them isn’t good enough but I need to risk my life on the dangerous waters to get their belongings even though I have everything they need on my island. Very fun and I like the basic plots.
