This is a small (11.5MB) game that delivers a good story (although spiders get a bad rap -lol) and sustained challenging gameplay. There are no bells and whistles, and I really like that. Its refreshingly quiet, and simple, but it gets challenging quite quickly. There are no power ups or reshuffles to fall back on. You rely entirely on your wits.
There is a classic (timed) and relaxed (untimed) mode. The music low in the background is OK, it keeps me alert. Full screen and windowed mode available. I find both quite useful. Graphics are very simple and suit the game.
The only thing I don't like is when the game keeps suggesting moves, if it thinks you are taking too long to decide. There is a visual and an audio cue, and I find it annoying and distracting. Sometimes, especially towards the end, I'd soooo like to be able to knock a ball out (with a power up) to help make a match.
This is the first in a series of 3 games that all have differing gameplay features. This first game is M3 only, but it doesn't feel too repetitive because each new playing field is different and presents unique challenges.
I play late at night because it helps to unwind, and for filling in time between doing stuff. After 6 months its still fun to play.
I recommend this game!

Maestro: Music of Death
Stop a mysterious illness that is causing an entire village to rapidly age! Find the cause and find a missing young girl!
I remember really enjoying playing this game. Now I think I will play it again. I'm not ususally a fan of the darker themed games but it was fun, a little quirky even.
The puzzles were interesting enough, not the same old, same old. Gameplay is immersive and moved at a nice pace. Graphics are beautiful. I don't recall the music, so I can't comment. HOS were fine.
