Sweetopia is the perfect balance between an exciting story line and a great play. In this Mac game Kate Gainsborough is re-opening her grandfather’s old candy factory, but runs into many problems. One disturbing hurdle is the 2 sherbet sizzle candies if they should collide will blow up the building and destroy all of Kate’s hard work. Your job is to keep these 2 orbs away from each other by matching 3 or more like color candies to pop them with sphere launchers.
The play is the same 3 or more orbs to explode before the sizzles collide. This is a fun, action game with cartoon strips conveying the
story between each level. There are blocks getting in your candy launcher’s way making it impossible to shoot the candies. In later 
levels there’s a second turret to use if you need it. Moving back and forth from one launcher to another is great fun. You feel like you are in control instead of shooting and ricocheting off of equipment haphazardly. A flashing orb will destroy any color for a while, more action is created from undulating blueberries, and orbs with question or explanation marks will provide surprising power-ups.
The music is very dramatic adding to the intense action and story going on all around you. You get involved in the fast action, frenetic pace of the moving candies snaking down the conveyor belts. The cartoon-like strip is an ideal way to move the story line along with
its anxious and frantic characters. You can feel their concern and Kate’s confidence in their funny conversations. There’s an Arcade mode in case you just want to play the game without the story.
Sweetopia is like many other orb moving match plays like the Luxor series and Sparkle, but it has its own flair to its play and tale of Kate’s possible fateful ordeals. I like the candy shooting of this manic play and enjoy the peculiar individuals in this Mac game. The actual play is simple to learn, but as the levels go up, the challenging factor increases. Try this awesome game for some old fashion match 3 play.
