Puzzle games are the perfect companion for your mobile device. Simple, intuitive, and more importantly, great for quick sessions. Indie game developer Gilles Tiafvoon understands this. His one-man mission manifests itself on his latest release entitled Small Lime. Think a Simple Match 3 game with a challenging learning curve, and you’re close to how this free puzzle game works.

But what are some of the key features I hear you ask? Well read on for a comprehensive guide to this charming little gem.

Gameplay
When it comes to the gameplay department, this is where Small Lime shines. Like any great puzzle game, this one demands great eye/finger coordination. The combo system rewards you with extra time to complete stages, while also allowing you to set up bigger combos for quicker stage completion. Just sit back and watch those bubbles disappear with great glee after linking up matching patterns.

Don’t forget either that your chosen character has their own abilities that can be utilized when you’re in a tight hold. This addition of character perks gives the game a great sense of depth that doesn’t usually apply to these kind of games.

Customization and Social Media Implementation
One of the unique things about Small Lime is its integration of pet games into its bubbling brew. Not only do you get rewarded for your slick playing skills, but you also get to customize your created protagonist till your heart’s content. Want a purely cutesy protagonist? The options allow you do it. Want your customization to affect the gameplay? Then equip game-altering items for your character. The choice is yours.

It doesn’t stop there though. The developer has cleverly inserted social media activity into Small Lime, rewarding you for visiting their Twitter and Facebook pages – a nice touch that will surely have gamers coming back for more.

Tips and Tricks
Want to play like a champ? Take note of these pointers:
Aim to fill up the progression meter as fast as possible to advance.

As the game becomes more challenging, make sure to avoid traps like bombs and ice stacks to ensure success.

Don’t let disappearing bubbles stifle your progression – the game is non-stop so keep on top of potential combos.

Make use of your characters power ability, especially when in tricky positions.

And most importantly, quick reactions when it comes to matching bubbles is essential to victory – fast matches means bigger combos.

Adventure Mode
This isn’t just a game that is confined to small bursts of play, as the developer has neatly added an adventure mode to sink your teeth into.

This added depth gives you more to aim for, integrating the slick gameplay into a story driven mode.

The story and quests are advanced the more stages you complete, allowing the player to chart the evolution of their chosen character right up to the mode’s conclusion. King Lime awaits…
