Description
Designed for children, Hamtaro™ is a mix between a Match-3 Puzzle and a Dash game, where you have to run a restaurant taking care of the clients.
Facing a grid of 7x7 full of colorful blocks, you must align at least 3 identical blocks of an element in order to create a ‘bag’ of that element. At the bottom of the screen, 3 Ham-Hams are waiting for a specific bag you should give to them before they lose patience. A scoring system lets you earn 1 to 3 seeds at the end of a level, a money to unlock pictures in a gallery, so it's possible to use them as wallpapers for the device.
Note: If you want to know more about the game, please check the Post-Mortem written in the blog. I want to thank Nicolas Badoux, Egg Ball co-founder, for authorizing me to talk about the game.
