Pocket Gamer:
Developers' inventiveness when it comes to doing something different with match-three games appears to be never ending.
The latest example is from Russian developer Piston Games and its release The Screetch.
Set in a typical 7 by 7 grid, you choose where to drop the coloured balls that fall from the top of the grid, with matches of three or more disappearing. The twist is that the Screetch of the title is a black gooey mess that slowly covers up the colours. When the balls are completely black, they're no longer playable, reducing your area of operations.
GameDynamo - There are tons of good, free iOS games today, including The Screetch, Rayman 2, Red Devil, GeoFighter, Chromium ES, and many more!
AppTilt: Another day, another match-three puzzler. Thankfully, The Screetch (from Piston Games) tries to offer something a little different to the usual fare, dressing up the familiar gameplay with some striking graphics and an emphasis on tactics and planning rather than all out speed. As a result, this one’s well worth picking up if you’re looking for a nice cerebral diversion.
Cat writes, "Coming all the way from Moscow, Russia, The Screetch proves that vodka-fueled development may be a successful model. Gameplay is addictive - the sort of addictive that aids in my procrastination of writing not just this review, but at least two others - and the style is distinctly eye-catching. The Screetch has effectively oozed its inky blackness right into my soul, and I won't give it up."
