Hi, Friends! If you do not mind, I'm proceed What setting is the most interesting for you in Match 3? Bringing forward....Doesn't really matter to me it's the mechanics of the game that matter to me, not too involved and to know what everything is for...many M3 games have icons I have no idea of what they do and too many of them too is annoying.

urusshaitan ..I always like a good Viking or Medieval setting, and I like my scores to count towards building or decorating something. (like a town or a tank like in fishdom) I also like Fantasy but not childish cartoon...more good graphics (like 4 elements) The best thing to be put into these decorations is the ability to place the decorations where you would like to rather than preset buildings or rooms. That setting makes it 100% better for me. Also important there is a choice of timed, limited moves and relax for people. AND MOST IMPORTANT. That there be an 'easy' mode in the timed as well as a normal mode for those who are quicker. Some people want a timer for the challenge but not too hard that they feel defeated. (good luck with working that out...but it is important..I will NOT play a game without a timer, but at the same time some are just too hard to get your full stars and that's disheartening) And also ...I dont like giant tiles and I dont like teeny tiny tiles. (stormtale size is fine)...I like brightness to the board and that face of the tiles rotate as often as possible so that its not the same always. ( I forgive fishdom for this because of the tank fun...but otherwise no) Another thing to make the 'perfect' game is the ability to 'toggle' each single level to relax if you just can't beat it...and then return to your original choice of difficulty. Hope this helps.

urusshaitan, I think joybelle covered it pretty well, but what exactly did you mean by "setting"? Are you talking about the graphics or game playing options? As I said before, we're all different so this is just me, but: Graphics: I'm a sucker for undersea themes and anything romantic. Not into dark themes or too many tiles of one color family in levels; having contrast on the boards is important. Game playing options: I play in both timed and limited moves as there are times when I just want to crank for all I'm worth and other times I like to strategize more and enjoy them equally. However, you need relaxed mode in M3s as there are quite a few fans out there who won't play in anything else. But depending on how you design the levels, you may not want to put both timed and limited moves into a game. If it is very puzzle-y, it's really not as fun to play against the clock IMO and the player can't really appreciate the subtleties of the puzzles when they're just frantically matching away. A recent example is Jewel Match Aquascapes, which is so strategy-based puzzle-M3 fusion that playing in insane timed mode was more frustrating than fun at times, and I'm *very* fast in timed mode.

Apparently unlike other folk, I tend to hate "required" non-M3 tasks in 4 Elements (which I otherwise love) or Fishdom (which I otherwise hate). I'd like an option to skip such tasks. Having other activities available is often nice, but oftentimes I'm really just in a mood to destroy blocks and hate having to put up with being distracted periodically. Since I dont care about story or extraneous tasks, I dont really care about "setting" - I just want pretty tiles with pretty items and/or colors on them.

urusshaitan, I can't just vote for 1 option in the current poll because I could get into any of those themes if the gameplay is good.

kasie , joybelle , SynthpopAddict , urusshaitan , cyril50 , lurkercat , pennmom , I usually play a new M3 in relaxed mode to begin with unless it's too easy (most are)-- then I usually switch to timed but many lately give you too little time. If not too easy and I really like the game, I'll play it again later on in timed mode -- rarely like playing limited moves. I don't like childish/cartoon-like icons/graphics (eg, Fishdom). Got hooked on computer games years ago by first playing Cradle of Rome -- man, I must have played that one a thousand times! Also don't like having too many bonuses and obstacles that it becomes hard to keep track of them all. I find a couple of series to have way too large (scroll up, down, sideways) game boards -- I get bored before long -- trying to think of an example (Runefall maybe, Jewel Match comes close and is far too easy in relaxed mode). Favourite series I can think of offhand are Cursed House (Lauraville games are pretty well a carbon copy and the cartoonishness puts me off), Imperial Island, Heroes of Hellas, some Spellarium ones, and there are a few oldies I like to replay now and then like Season Match Curse of the Witch Crow, Spooky Bonus, 4 Elements 2, Dig the Ground, a ClearIt for variety. I like to build things like a town or garden, too -- makes many a game far better/interesting. The Queen's Garden games were nice for garden building but the M3 boards far too easy so that I became bored. I'm currently enjoying playing Suddenly Meow. Hope my enjoyment continues. So many games seem great when playing the demo but become disappointing shortly after, usually because the levels don't get much more challenging. A good M3 game for me becomes more challenging as I progress.

kafinkee, I only like Limited Moves modes when a game is highly strategy-based so I have time to think about the end result, otherwise I hate limited moves modes too

Sorry urusshaitan , Your new poll is not working for me for some reason but I did like the Medieval Fantasy Fairy Tale. I had checked them out in the post above the poll.

I clicked on the line I wanted to vote for and it didn't show up and neither did the vote button. I even tried another browser in case I was missing something. No luck at all on any of the polls
