Bermuda Triangle is a good idea with middling execution. The basic match-three concept is solid. Popping pods onto a grid that grows from the top rather than the bottom is a modest but fun innovation, and the environmental theme, though mostly window-dressing, is pleasant. Plus, the power-ups, though neither diverse nor great in number, are useful and satisfying.
PlatformNation: For a game that totes itself as “green-themed”, it is ironic you kill snails by dropping anchors on them. Does the world really need another match-3 game? The only clones I love are Dolly and the ones from Star Wars.
Northpole Studio and Bulkypix are pleased to present Bermuda Triangle: Saving The Coral. This brilliantly colorful ocean-based puzzle game with a decidedly 'green' theme is now available at the App Store for $1.99.
NWR writes: "Bermuda Triangle: Saving the Coral is an educational title with a fun puzzle mechanic at its core. It is a match-three puzzle game, like many that have come before it, and the game's unique twist is that instead of falling objects, as in most Tetris-style puzzlers, Bermuda deals in floating objects. On the top screen is a boat that fires gems into the ocean, which resides on the bottom screen. As you fire gems into the ocean, they float to the surface. If the surface is too crowded, they will float below the gems above them in a pyramid fashion. When three gems match in a row, they vanish, and spread nutrients to the ocean floor where coral grows. When enough coral has grown, the stage ends."
