Sugar Link

I decided to give Sugar Link a try as an avid casual puzzle player and I must say it was a very pleasant way to pass the time. The goal is simple — head to the beach and gather ingredients for the sweet treats. I did notice that while the levels start off fairly simply in terms of execution the need for strategy does become evident as the levels progress. The need to manage your moves to make sure you’re not out of them adds a wrinkle that can cause both joy and aggravation. Some players have complained of confusion over the gaming mechanics and the point system used to register scores. I have read comments about the challenges of making matches and how to submit scores. However, there is a working score submission system in the game to allow for tracking your progress on Play123, which can be a bit of carrot to those of us prone to a tad of competition. In short, Sugar Link is hit or miss. It’s not the most revolutionary of games, but it’s intriguing enough to keep you engaged for a little bit. For anyone hunting on a lazy afternoon for a sweetened-up puzzle, this could be the treat you’re after.

Overall Summary: Sugar Link is a cute match-3 puzzle game suitable for casual gaming sessions. Don’t expect things to be a breeze though—there are plenty of levels that’ll make you scratch your head while you try to line up those sugary treats.
