Super Collapse 3: Charming and Challenging at the same Time

Posted on Oct 2, 2008 01:58:42 PM

Super Collapse! 3 is the latest installment from the popular franchise by the same name, Super Collapse. The game, which has its roots on the web, is similar to other click-based puzzlers such as Bejeweled and Panel De Pon, as far as its basic design is concerned. You will find lines of multicolored squares constantly pushing up from the bottom of the screen. Your job is basically to click on clusters of three or more of the same color and make them disappear using a pointer. The rest of the pile then automatically falls into place. It is easily comprehensible that, the greater the cluster, the more points you stand to accumulate by popping them. The strategy therefore should be to ensure that a greater number of squares of the same color fall next to one another. That way you have a great chance of progressing through the game’s challenging levels. The game’s presentation is decent enough and has quite a few utilitarian values. The play field is surrounded by beautiful landscapes depicting green fields and snowy hills, but the actual play field itself consists of a big black box full of colored squares. The graphics are crisp, and the squares are conspicuous and clear as they have to be with the profuse use of the primary colors.

The game primarily differs from its earlier counterparts in one respect, namely, the increase in the number of game types. Aside from the usual modes, there’s a strategy mode, where every click raises the pile by a line, as well as a puzzle type, where you have to figure out how to clear a massive pile without having any blocks left over. The main attractions of Super Collapse! 3 (PSP), however, are the two new additional modes, called the goofy games, relapse and slider. In the former, two piles of blocks emerge simultaneously from the top and bottom of the screen, and you have to stop the blocks from colliding. The slider, on the other hand as the name suggests, have lines of blocks that are constantly sliding sideways. Gamers who have a tendency to go the extra mile have good news in the form of innovative ‘Quest mode’. This addition is significant because it will also help you to unlock the mystery to mastering the other modes.
