Electric Playground:
"A game like this deserves a better name than "Unwell Mel." The game has bright (and somewhat gross) cartoon graphics, and a lot going on down on that playfield. For example, there are "bugs" that turn into blocks if they don't get cleared right away, and bugs that stick to other bugs, preventing you from moving them. There are also lots of clever power-ups and a lightning fast pace. These things make Unwell Mel a cut about your typical matching game."
Gamertell has posted its weekly update of new casual style games.
This week's highlights are Magic Encyclopedia 3: Illusions (PC), Dreamscape (PC) and Unwell Mel (PC).
Unwell Mel, the first game from Big Fish Games' new studio in Vancouver, B.C., is the expanded version of the popular online match-3 puzzler that many fans have been waiting for. Without a doubt, it was well worth the wait. This intriguing, challenging version does not disappoint, and even adds a few changes and surprises that will delight players of all ages.
Poor Mel is unwell... so much so that he is the magnet for every disease known to man. As his doctor, Mel needs your help to assess, diagnose and clear away the gunk and bugs that have made him so ill. Dealing with maladies such as "Mel N. Cholia" to "Eyephelia Pain", you will scan Mel in the "Scan-O-Matic" diagnostic machine, purchase helpful power-ups from "Ed" the salesman, and have a blast while you cure Unwell Mel and send him into the world happy and healthy.
