Yumsters

First thing's first. If you have already seen a pic of this game, then you think this is a game with worms. Well, it's not. And if you went further and thought that this could be a game like those "Worms" you're even more wrong. This game has nothing to do with worms of any kind.

So these creatures that we talk about are called Yumsters and even if they look like worms (and they probably do, as far as I'm concerned) and "dance" or "sing" like worms, if that's possible, these things are little critters that love music and have a huge appetite for fruits.

What does this thing have to do with you? Well, of course it is your job to make sure that they eat enough. So, how should I put this? First thing you need to know is that you can control a group of these creatures called Yumsters. The thing is that each one of them craves for one single fruit. How will you realize who likes which...? Well... You'll see that they are attracted by the same colors as they are. So, it is a matter of logic: a red Yumster will want red fruits, a yellow Yumster will crave for yellow fruits, a green one will choose green fruits and so on.

Passing on, you must also know that a Yumster will eat a certain number of different kinds of fruits, like ten pears, nine peaches and so on. To make this Yumsters eat their fruits you have to drag them from the hole they're in to the food they like. Then while the creatures eat, you can do whatever else.

Even if these are the main things that you must know about the game and how it works, believe it or not things get a bit more complex. You will want to drag a Yumster to a fruit, but soon you'll realize that you can't cross Yumsters, or even make them eat fruits that they don't like. If the Yumster collides with another one he will go back to his hole in the ground for a short while.

This game has no clock or timer and that I guess is a good thing, but don't think you can get away that easily! If your screen fills up with fruits you will lose the level because after they materialize, the fruits need to be eaten. But there is also good news. You can unfreeze a fruit by clicking on it. Like this you can put your Yumster to feast on it.

This game has combos too. This will appear when you put a Yumster to eat long chains of fruits. But anyway, you'll soon realize at one point, as you see your fruits freezing up on your screen that these critters eat too slow. And here's a tip: to make a Yumster eat faster you have to click on it. This will help you also in swapping holes and get another Yumster to work.

There are also these little butterflies that are so cute, but this time they will annoy you. Why? Because once a butterfly puts its "mind" and rests on a fruit, you won't be able to make your Yumster eat it. Also, the little bugs that crawl into fruits will make your Yumster shrug and hide into its hole.

But these obstacles can be "undone". If you see a bug crawling around you must click on it and like this you will send it away. The butterflies can be removed by tapping them.

Now, the bonuses and power-ups. It is good to know that when your Yumster swallows the Double Bonus, the fruit it eats while the power-up is still active will be counted twice. You can also combine bonuses. One example could be a Speed bonus (that makes the Yumster eat faster) with the Super Yumster bonus (the one that makes a Yumster eat any kind of fruit). Anyway, there are nine bonuses that you can collect.

So until now we have said only good things about this game. It may look like a match three game, but is not, even if you match the yellow worm with the yellow pears. This game has cute critters and an original idea. The only bad thing is that these Yumsters eat slowly and that will make the gameplay somewhat boring.

Enjoy!
