This M3 is a bit different, as you have to make a match with the icon attached to your cursor. It takes some fore thought and strategy when you get down to the last few icons, but you also have the option of DIAGONAL matches to help. Glowing icons create explosions and aide in clearing the area, so watch for the glow. Both timed and untimed modes are offered, and the timer is very generous The absolute BEST part of this game is that at the end of each game board skeletons wearing ever-changing attire do the victory dance! It's worth the price to see the dances! The colors and graphics are vivid and bright, and the music wonderfully eclectic, but I just LOVE the dancing skeletons! Enjoy!

This game is tons of fun...good levels, can be quite tricky. Really good game for thinkers.

I had a better handle on the game once I figured out how to create the different power ups. Matching 4 gives you a bomb and if you match that with another bomb you get a big explosion. If you match 5 in a row, L shape or T shape you will get lightning or horizontal/vertical row elimination. The jeweled squares are large and colorful. I played all 100 levels in Timeless and enjoyed the dancing skeletons. If you play in Classic Mode which is timed, the game is very challenging. One thing that should be corrected in the game is showing your score with the other players in the High Score Menu.

I'm 57 years old and I've been playing this one for many, many years. Usually not a big fan of match 3 games, but this one is so different from the usual run of the mill match 3 games. I originally bought this game from Real Arcade and played it hundreds of times from start to finish--I was up to about 650 million points and had about 350 lives--it was just nuts! Then my computer died and I was unable to transfer the game over to my new one. So, when I saw it was available from Big Fish games, I purchased it again and have gotten up to 3 million points and 29 lives in about a week. I love this game for the music, the challenges of the really difficult levels--some levels you just dread to see coming because you KNOW they're going to take more than 1 life to win!! But so satisfying when you do win it! Always love the dancing skeleton pirates and their assortment of peg legs, axes or arrows thru their heads, various hats, etc. Love the big explosions and the huge points that you can rack up!

Why can't I play Treasure Island anymore? I used to play on Facebook for past couple of years now I can't access it.
