It's a German match-3 game!

Nothing super notable, but I was able to switch the language to French (there are three: german, dutch or french, which seems like an odd mix - no English?, but hey - I'm not really complaining.

Interesting things:

(1) It's a match-3 BUT at any time on a level you can switch between 3 modes for how you match!

(a) Swap and match
(b) Trace a line of connected tiles to match
(c) Tap on group of 3 tiles (that aren't in a line, but are connected) to match.

This seemed like too much of a gimmick - but I was surprised when I did clear a level by switching between mode (a) and (c) - so, when you're stuck sometimes, it can help.

(2) There are4 penguin characters that look suspiciously like the ones from the animated movie whose name currently escapes be about a bunch of animals that escape from a zoo - get to Africa and shenanigans. The penguins are like a crack team of commandos (in the movie). I think the penguins have powers on some levels - but it's all in French and I couldn't really understand what they triggered/allowed for.


 
kudos for original design to Rodrigo Barria
