Archipelago -- so many possibilities

This is a very simple game like Collapse, but in 3D. Don't be scared by 3D, you won't need to solve any logical tasks or fly in 3D. It's just that field where you click rotates and gives you a lot of possibilities. There are so many unique features in this game - dozens of achievements (for completion of worlds, doing tricks, collecting stuff), awards for each level (gold/silver/bronze) for doing tricks RIGHT in levels (perfects, combos, speed and something else). A lot of gorgeous and beautiful landscapes - forest, island, volcano, canyon, skies, caves... didn't go further than that YET. As for the gameplay - every level gives a new challenge as an in any other games. First levels are quite easy - collect some cubes, learn to move mouse and sometimes right click, collect cubes on 2 fields at once and then various gravity levels, challenge levels and speed levels. Plenty of variety and growing difficulty curve.
There's arcade mode which unlocks after first few levels, it allows to play some of the coolest forever -- not quite the best choice, but it's very good for practicing various techniques.

So how does the gameplay look? You've got a stack of blocks that grow from the bottom (like 1 row per second) and sometimes drop from the top. You need to match 2 or more adjacent blocks of the same time to remove them. CLICK and they fly away with super cool 3D effect and entire stack collapses with very cool movement.
You need to click on all of the blocks in each level and reach the target of the level, which could be a number of blocks or number of specifically colored blocks.
Plus while you are playing you need to make combos (click on the same colored cubes), perfects (remove everything from the screen), remove big groups (quite a tactical thingie) and complete level really quick. For doing all that stuff you get rated in the end of the level and receive various awards. The better awards you get, the quicker achievements you'll receive.

This is a great game,

Start CLICKING!!!!!

This is the MOST FASTPACED game I have ever played!! During a minute or two, while playing a level, I guarante that you will forget to even breathe!!

Now I usually don't like fastpaced games but THIS ONE is very fun indeed! And even if you hardly get a chance to even look, the graphics of this game are just BEEautiful!!

Music and sound correspond well with another, but as with the graphics, you really have no time to actually listen too it!! Anyway, it is really pumping your heart up!!

Now, is it really possible to finish a game like this? I sure would like too try!!! The gameplay is so fastpaced so is it really possible? You try it, and let me know!!

Tips & Tricks for 'Archipelago':

	Login to edit this tip
After playing Archipelago for an hour, I could give you some valuable tips! 1) Learn what hints tell Right button helps you to complete levels FASTER, but won't give you good level rating (GOLD). 2) Watch out for the danger. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes to complete a level and you'd be challenged to replay it if you lose on the last second. As soon as you get danger, forget about all the combos and big groups - click for your life! 3) HOW TO SECURE GOLD! As soon as level starts, make at least X5 combo followed by 2 perfects to secure gold. That's how you do it: a) X5 combo start making combo from clicking smallest groups of THE SAME color. Same color means GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN without changing color. It might sound tough, but that's why there's right mouse button. As soon as you out of blocks of your combo color, patiently make ONE RIGHT CLICK to get another row and search for your color match. As soon as you get DANGER, CLICK FOR YOUR LIFE! In 2 attempts you'll sure get X5 and then you could proceed to making PERFECT. b) PERFECT = CLEAR = remove everything from screen. It takes a lot of practice and logic. It's like mini cubic-rubic. You'll need to understand how the cubes move on the field and how to remove all of them. You need to clear the screen TWICE to get golden award for it. c) So, as soon as you get X5 combo and 2 clears, start using right mouse button to fill stack to DANGER zone and destroy it. Then again, right mouse button to fill stack to DANGER and destroy it. Repeat till you win and do it as fast as you can to get gold speed level award. 4) PANIC button! From world 2 you'll have a new life-saving feature called PANIC button. You could use it when you are trying to make X8 combo in a tough level. PANIC button doesn't reset your combo meter. Another OBVIOUS use of PANIC button is to click it when you are deep in DANGER!!! And there's also a super tip on DANGER for you - PRESS SPACE BAR!!

Awarded for 50 clears =HOUR POWER! Awarded for playing 1 hour =COMBO MASTER! Awarded for making x8 color combo =ONE CLICK WONDER! 120 cubes collected with a single click Here's a tip to get "THE ULTIMATE CUBE!". You don't need to complete ALL of the levels in game with GOLD rating. I found out how you get GOLD pedestal in the end of the level. You need to complete MOST of the levels in the world with GOLD. And most means 5. You need to get 5 GOLD cube ratings in the world and then you get GOLD pedestal! Making less GOLD cubes wouldn't give you MAJOR & GRAND cubes awards faster, but since there are 8-9 worlds with 8-9 levels each, in the worst case you'll get these by the last world. This game has so many tactics and tricks, can't wait for the online version and sequel to come out, heard that islands will finally blossom with life!
