Pakoombo

Puzzle game. You play as young lass Cathy and her cartoon siblings.Your goal is to save your father.s oceanfront resort from Mr. Lyar.s devious designs, and thwart the shady character from selling your home. Naturally, the story quickly takes several twists with the introduction of more characters, a long-lost treasure and additional areas of the map you can explore beyond the thatch-roofed dwelling. Each stage essentially consists of a grid of tiles, with every square containing a different item, i.e. popsicles, stars, umbrellas, etc. By swapping two tiles, you get the attempt to create horizontal or vertical groups of three or more similar objects.

There are a few modes of gameplay. In short, while Quick Play and Boss Battle game options are available, Story Mode.s plot-driven campaign, which sees you exploring an island.s worth of exotic locales, proves the title.s top draw. Not only do these welcome scenarios add depth and excitement by demanding you feint, strike and actively think several steps ahead to counter intelligent opponents. They also make much better use of the game.s shockingly broad selection of power-ups. The big problem here being less conceptually related than tied to actual execution, considering the huge amount of backtracking and repetition required of players. Fresh gifts and acquaintances do take the edge off somewhat by occasionally add new spins on the action. Catchy at first, a limited soundtrack tends to grate as well, especially the prerecorded voice, which yells .Pakoombo!. every five seconds.
