img_0001-1 Chroma Quest is not your normal “match three” game that the iTunes store is full of.  I mean come on…just how many of those does Apple need to give us of those while turning down cool apps that actually add finctionality?  But I digress.

Chroma Quest adds a new spin because you don’t just match pieces, you combine them…their colors, that is.  Adjacent pieces with primary colors can be combined to form the mixture of the two.  For example, you can combine red and yellow to make an orange piece. When you tap two primary colors, the first one combines with the second and clears the spot where the first one used to be.  As if that isn’t unique enough, you can also “split” the orange, green, and purple pieces into their primary colors.  For example, if you tap on an orange tile and an adjacent red one, it “splits off” the red from the orange and combines it with the original red one…effectively switching the places of the red and orange tiles.

All these combinations and splits come in real handy when trying to clear the board.  You do this by tappling on two adjacent tiles of the same color.  You can also clear sequences of greater than two by selecting the first tile in the sequence, then selecting the last tile in the sequence.  If you can clear all the pieces from the board, or all but one piece, you can advance to the next level.  This $0.99 game comes with an unlimited number of levels, so running out of game play will never be a problem.  Because of that and the unique game play for an excellent price, I have to recommend this game.  It makes my Must Have list.
