Eco Match Review

Education is the name of the game in Eco Match a colorful and fun match 3 game. The planet is dying from air pollution, deforestation and more. This is not just a children’s game but a forecast for what is happening to our earth now and what it will become in the near future. Only you as the director for World S.A.F.E organization can restore the world to its once beautiful and pristine place for all species to live happily.

As the leader of this remarkable coalition you must travel world-wide to clean the air polluted atmosphere from industries, cars, and machines. In addition, you must reforest the devastated areas and return the balance back in the jungles. As you succeed in all these projects, you will, in turn, help save the endangered species. Also recycle factories are important to meet goals. You will take one step at a time in 7 continents with 15 levels each. After completing 10 missions, you can go on to another continent.

The levels consist of match 3 of the same items to clear. There are goals set for each level, and each level can be a match 3 like items to clear by one of the 3 methods: swap, drop or flood. At the upper right of the screen will let you know which of these 3 methods you will be playing. You must make matches over tiles or “eco zones” to finish the board. Coins collected can be used on the necessary projects. There is only a timed mode, but you can replay a level after unlocking it. You keep making matches until you fill all your goals at the right of the screen. Once these fill, you proceed to the next level.

There are useful power ups to assist you, and animals will help you on your missions. Jillian, your assistant, is there to guide and offer important data along the way.

Eco Match becomes an addictive match 3 play as you go along. The ecological information dispersed throughout the game is extremely important and useful for teachers, children and all beings who are into saving the planet. However, if you are a gamer wanting to play match 3 games, Eco Match will meet your needs. Some of the levels are easy, but some are a bit challenging and you may need those power ups. Have fun bringing back devastated forests and saving the endangered animals in an atmosphere of clean breathable oxygen.

EcoRescue-Project Rainforest Review


The world’s rainforests are being destroyed by man and will soon disappear if no one does anything about it. This is not a threat but is proving to be the truth sooner than later. In Mac hidden object game EcoRescue – Project Rainforest the objective is to educate first and entertain second in many forms of puzzles.

The play is like any other HOG where there are a lot of items scattered throughout the rainforest. Surely you will agree that this is an ugly and sad sight against the most beautiful background. You go around the world cleaning up mess caused by man. There’s a hint button, and it recharges, but very slowly. So slowly in fact it can carry over to the next level. It’s a good thing the HOG play is easy enough to endure this slow charging help.

In addition to the searching for items on the list, is locating a number of one kind of thing or animal like finding 5 marmots. Another is to compare 2 photos for the differences. A mini puzzle is a jigsaw. You will be putting together pieces of an endangered animal. This game is not difficult but it is hard to turn each piece around to fit the puzzle.

There’s a lot to do in this game, but many of the scenes are repeated and so are the objects. The pictures are beautiful and stunning of amazing animals and birds. The information, although important, is overwhelming when you just want to play a game. There are a lot of written words to read before you can play. This continues through the entire game. If this game is intended for children, the writing is still too long for kids to ingest. Perhaps if it is broken into shorter spurts of information between more puzzles, it will help the player enjoy the experience. Another way of passing data to people would be to do a multiple-choice test. Just a thought. Decide for yourself if you like this game. I give this game a 3 out of 5 for it’s information and awesome photos.

Features of EcoRescue – Project Rainforest:
-Lots of Pertinent Information
-Many Objects to Search
-Mini Puzzles
