I’m back with another iOS game review, sponsored by Big Fish Games. I’ve been playing Gummy Drop! for about a week now. Gummy Drop! is a mobile game that combines the casual fun of Match-3 and the strategy of resource management gameplay.
About Gummy Drop!
In Gummy Drop!, building and matching squish together as players match gummies shaped like doughnuts, hearts, and bricks in groups of 3 or more to collect resources that are needed to rebuild famous landmarks around the world. To build these notable monuments, each level has specific objectives that need to be achieved within a set number of moves. Additionally, each landmark may need more than one building resource, sometimes requiring the player to go back and replay completed levels in order to collect additional building materials. This adds a level of strategy and accomplishment not found in other Match-3 games.
Gummy Drop! is a unique Match-3 game with new levels being added every month. If players get stuck, Gummy Drop! generously offers boosts to help players get through levels, and also includes a “Lucky Spin” feature that randomly awards players extra moves or additional lives.
Mom Maven’s Thoughts
I’m not impressed 🙁 I like Match-3 games and building/resource management games but in my opinion Gummy Drop! is just meh. I’m only on level 21 because you need to play each level 3 times to gather all of the building supplies you need. The building part is lame because when you’ve gathered the supplies it builds automatically and there is no fun in that. The Match-3 is ok but I would rather play Cascade over Gummy Drop! any day.
While I find the game play boring, the first thing I had to do was shut of the annoying music. I like letting the music play on most games but this music was distracting. The voice that congratulates you doing the game often shouts “Weekend!” which makes no sense to me at all.
If you are looking to add a new game to your iOS device, I suggest you look elsewhere for your mindless fun. Gummy Drop! isn’t worth your time.
