I have a lot of fun playing this welcome addition to the M3 genre. The story line is engaging - the graphics, not so much. However, it has some of the most appealing and beautiful playing pieces I've seen in a long time. You do get a time bonus and there is a clock which is very generous. Once I got into the story line, I really enjoyed playing the levels. Another plus for me is the fact that you can make plays while the pieces are still falling. The challenge factor is very modest and may not appeal to more expert players; however, I like the entertainment factor of the game. All in all a wonderfully welcome addition to my M3 games! Definitely give the demo a try and judge for yourself.
I recommend this game!

I, too, had read the so-so reviews but tried the game anyway. I love Match 3 games, especially with some mini-game diversions! I had been locked into the swap mode only and looking at some of the offerings, hadn't even tried anything else...until Deep Voyage. As has been said, it's a click on groupings mode. Others have pretty well covered the high spots. I just want to mention a few of my particular favorites of this game: Wonderfully satisfactory explosions with power-ups you can select and plenty of others that the game gives you as you go thru the levels.
The beauty of this game and its relaxing nature is my all time favorite. You also get to "build" underwater gardens as you go along. There is a timer but it's generous. The game play may not be challenging enough for some of you experts but for my 60-year-old hand/eye coordination, it's just right!
And you get to put underwater puzzles together in between blowing up things (smile). Can you tell I love this game???

I honestly can't think of any downsides - other than the timer.
I recommend this game!

I'm partial to the concept of Druids (smile), so decided to try this M3. The match pieces are colorful and cute (some of them turn out to be "assists" in clearing boards)! The sound effects are the best! When matches are made, very satisfying "clinks" and "clunks" like bottles colliding are heard. Also, I loved the gurgling sound when cascades occurred!
The only downside for me was that, although the amount of board space is large, the spaces/tiles are not (at least for my 60 year old eyes (smile)). I'm always in a hurry and in this one you have to clear over wooden doors, etc...my problem was quickly seeing which ones I'd missed. My suggestion to any other "older" eyes is to start on one side of the board and clear across methodically. I was only missing 2-3 doing it that way.
I got through level 12 during the demo (saving 10 min just in case there's a sale & I want to refresh my memory about buying). It seemed to be just challenging enough to nudge me a little without my feeling like it was work and was definitely a lot of fun! As a DD/good sale, I'd say buy!
I recommend this game!
