After introducing the game playing community to the Catjong style of play, the development team at Best Place switches its focus on that of "Selene's Charm - Sweet Home". This title brings together Match 3 game play with the restoration of a once grand estate as various improvements are made to its appearance and facilities.
While the game allows you to make adjustments to music and sound effects levels along with the screen size, the game limits you to creating a single player profile. When playing the game you do have a choice of playing the game in English or from one of the supported European languages. Your role in this game will be to assist Serena, a graduate of the Magic Academy, as she set about restring a home and the estate that surrounds it.
Instead of providing the player will instructions regarding the style of game play, you are introduced to this title starts with an optional choice to work through a series of tutorials that deal with the basic aspects of the game. The game follows the usual arrangement encountered in Match 3 game play. A centrally positioned grid will be sandwiches between the level's challenge, made up of the number and types of cells to be removed within a set number of moves, on the left.
A set of three power-up elements will sit to the right side of the grid. These power-up will feature a hammer, fireball and an ice ball. They will need to be activated through progress achieved elsewhere before use. The appropriate power-up can be used to remove a single cell, a row of cells or a column of cells.
Each completed level of the Match 3 action, which needs to be completed in turn, will bring a reward of gems and coins. Once earned these rewards can be used on restoring the different elements of the estate and the home it provides. When it comes to replacing and restoring part of the home and estate, you will be given a choice of three replacement items from which you can make a selection as to which one to use.
In order to complete a grid level you will need to remove a designated number of specific tile types. This can be achieved by creating groups through the swapping of two adjacent tiles, The creating of certain sizes and shapes of the groups formed will bring the reward of useful destructive elements which can be used as you see fit to help progress further.
Providing an occasional break from the steady stream of Match 3 game play, the game features additional bonus to increase your bank balance. A Wheel of Fortune appearance gives you the chance of winning a bonus. You can also time a swing-meter to increase your reward by stopping it in the best position.
