This game mixes the action and the puzzle genres to create an all-around fun experience. In it, you play as a warrior who wakes up in the underworld. While he’s there, you’ll need to fight hordes of zombified warriors. The gameplay will mainly revolve around fighting them off.
The gameplay is similar to other action match-three games. Instead of moving tiles to match tiles, you’ll be dragging your finger and drawing a path between tiles of different colors. When you do that, your character will perform an attack to reflect that. There are six colors, each one is particularly strong against one and weak against another. It’s the same thing for the enemies and weapons.
What’s unique about this game is that you’re able to swipe across different colors. You can start drawing on one color and cross over to another color and start drawing through that one. You’ll attack one enemy with the first color and you’ll attack the next enemies with the other. As you progress, you’ll upgrade your weapons to do more damage.

Matexo

This game is for those who want to test out their brains and their patience. Matexo is a puzzle game that incorporates a lot of math into the equation. Each round starts off with an assortment of lines. On one end of each line, you’ll see a circle, and at the other end, you’ll see a square. Both shapes will have a number. Finally, on the bottom of the screen, you’ll see an assortment of blocks with numbers on them. Also, each of these blocks will have a mathematical operation on them (Plus, Minus, Divide, and Multiply).
What you need to do is place the right blocks on the lines to make the number in the circle equal to the number in the square. So, if the circle has 5 and the square has 8, then you’ll want to look for a block that has +3. It seems simple enough, but the game will get trickier as you progress. When you start off, you’ll have only a few lines, and you’ll only need to place one block to solve them. However, later on, you’ll see more lines, and those lines will require more blocks.
