Match 3 Match 2: The Pharaoh's Curse

News break! The sequel to the ultimate matching game is finally upon us, like a plague of locusts! That’s right, kiddies, it’s Match 3 Match… 2! It’s only been a week since the first game came out, but gosh darn it if this hasn’t been the longest week of my life.

The original game upped the ante in terms of matching games… by having you MATCH matching games! M3M 2 doubles down and goes all in with no insurance by setting the same game in Ancient Egypt. Woah!

You ain’t seen so many jewels on the screen since that time you did a Google image search for the word “jewel” because you wanted to see Jewel naked (you pervert). And you ain’t seen so many sparkles since that time you stared into the sun for three hours straight because you were on LSD. And you DEFINITELY ain’t seen a 3d-rendered beaver like this since last week. Except that one was in Ancient Greece and this one is most definitely in Ancient Egypt.

You heard it here first, ladies and gents!

EDIT: Download link removed for now. Turns out the game had some pretty malicious spyware on it. Not that I blame them – you gotta make money somehow, right? But when your computer actually asks you (in a tinny computer voice) to pull its power plug, that’s where I draw the line. I’m def going to keep playing on grandma’s computer, though. This game rules!

EDIT 2: DISCUSS.

haha pertty funny but I’m disappointed that you didn’t use any screenshots from *my* games ;-p

Also the game grid is too small at 5x5 squares, you’ll get too many “no more moves” and there’s no timer or does the beaver slowly bleed to death or show signs or radiation poisoning or something?

PS. Excellent use on the Pharoah’s Curse subtitle as it serves to remind me that this http://www.sss-mag.com/images/curse2.jpg turd ripped off King’s Valley, which was probably the first time I got all antsy about rip-offs. Happy days… :)

Imagine if we could take all the hate in the world and direct it at match-3 rip-offs. Truly that would be a utopia… ;)

This has to be the toughest game ever.

It’s so fucking hard to differentiate one from the other!

Great idea. When you get enough points, it could zoom out or in, each piece being comprised of many smaller puzzles.

Do you have to play the smaller match-3 games while playing the main one, too? ;)

Searching for ‘jewel+beaver’ yields much better results more quickly than just searching for ‘jewel’.

Hahaha, new category for Satirical Meta-Game Ideas?

Oh man, and I imagine the beaver’s voice speeding up and raising in pitch as he screams out that text.
