Puzzle To The Center of the Earth is deep...literally. Each of the game's 90+ levels take you another layer underground, into more diverse and dangerous territory. It's a Match 3 game unlike any I've played before, polished with the charm and quality we've come to expect from Foursaken.
Puzzle to The Center of the Earth is literally a puzzle platformer. The Match 3 element isn't a side aspect or some way to craft items or attack enemies. It is the game, the environment; it is your mining tool. Each subterranean level is made up of blocks; by matching blocks of the same color, you carve out your paths through the environments, as you travel downward to the next stage. Destroying certain blocks give you gold or energy; energy allows you to break blocks, thus adding an element of risk vs reward to the exploration and platforming. Do you look for the hidden chests and levers and other secrets, at the expanse of using more energy? Puzzle to the Center of The Earth challenges you to be methodical, to plan out your matching and converse your energy and make the most optimal routes.
Your skill set isn't limited to merely matching. Matches of six or more blocks reward you with crystals that power special abilities (for example, match blue + red + green to cause an block-clearing explosion) and gear such as bombs, armor, and air tanks add more options and help you deal with enemies and traps along the way
Puzzle to The Center of the Earth is a fun unique blend of platformer and Match 3, and yet another successful genre-mixing experience from Foursaken. The game is free-to-play, but it's fair and there's an IAP to remove the lives count.
