iOS app developers Red Chain Games Ltd. have released their latest game Fluttabyes. You have to help free the butterflies. It is a match-3 game with a lot of challenging levels and a good amount of fun added to it. You can also create combos or link matches to earn higher scores. This is a game with exciting action and gripping gameplay that is sure to get you hooked for hours on end.
The addictive thing about this game lies in its simplicity and challenging concept. Your aim is to match 4 or more butterflies of the same color lying adjacent to each other either horizontally or vertically. By making these matches, you free the butterflies from the cage. The controls of the game are extremely simple. What makes it challenging is the levels of difficulty and the urge to make higher scores each time.
To add a fun twist to the game, the developers have added some bonuses. If you create matches very quickly, then you can earn score multipliers. The speed of making matches is recorded by the ticking stop clock. If you match 6 or more butterflies of the same color, then you will earn a ladybird. If you are able to match 9 or more butterflies of the same color, then you are awarded the magic rainbow butterfly.
This game is suited for people of all ages and all skill levels who have some time to kill and like challenges. There are 5 different game modes to break the monotony of the game and add an interesting twist to it. The first mode is the Survival mode. In this mode, you have a time limit and you have to stick to it. There is a dandelion clock that is ticking away and you have to race it. By freeing butterflies, you can earn more time.
The second mode is the Endless mode. As the name suggests, there is no time limit on this one. It is for those who wish to practice and improve their match making skills. Your only challenge is your own self. The third mode is the Solitaire mode, wherein your speed of freeing butterflies matters. The faster you free them, the higher your score gets.
The fourth game mode is the Drop mode. In this mode, a touch of Tetris has been added. Butterflies are continuously dropping down. You have to keep matching butterflies, freeing spots and surviving. The rate of drop is constantly increasing. The last mode is the Rush mode in which you have all of 60 seconds on the clock. You have to earn the highest score you can within this time limit. There is an abundance of Ladybirds and Rainbow butterflies to help you out in this mode.
To add to the competitive element, there are global leader boards. You can log in via your GameCenter account and see where you stand with respect to this game. Fluttabyes is available for $1.99 in the App Store for the iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone having iOS 6.0 or later. While the game is addictive and enjoyable, it is a little on the expensive side as compared to other apps in its niche.
