![]() Then, you have to begin clearing boards to earn cash. You'll start the game off with a small amount of money, enough to purchase the lowest priced fish and a small plant to decorate the tank. ![]() Your ultimate goal is to complete boards and earn money so you can fill your somewhat empty tank with beautiful fish, Halloween-inspired décor and comfort items that will both help with the overall well-being of your fish and also jazz up the tank since they are also decorative in nature. The longer you play, however, the more money you tend to earn, so speedy isn't always better. As soon as you destroy the gold and silver tiles, you are finished with the level, even if you were able to do it very quickly. If a tile is blocking an area and has a chain across it, you will have to make sure to match the correct tile to it, while not being able to actually move the chained tile. ![]() By swapping two tiles and matching three or more, the matching tiles will disappear and new tiles will filter into the spaces they left, giving you more matching opportunities. If the chained tiles are blocking an area that is void of tiles, you'll still notice that the backgrounds may have some gold or silver tiles waiting to be filled. Your object is to clear the board of the gold and silver tiles only, although you can swap tiles wherever you can to accomplish this. ![]() Some tile backgrounds are blue, some are gold, some are silver and some even have golden chains draped across them (up to three) and are blocking off areas where tiles can't filter down. You are presented with a board covered in decorated tiles of different types. Gameplay in Fishdom: Spooky Splash is best compared to Jewel Quest and other tile swapping/match-three games. The sound effects are the same fare you will find in other Fishdom titles, nice clunking tile sounds when they shuffle down into the spaces, a crisp chain breaking sound when you break through a locked tile, and a pleasant swoosh when you swap two tiles. Each tune that plays in the background is appropriately eerie and creepy, yet still nice to listen to. The music in the Fishdom games never fails to impress me and Fishdom: Spooky Splash is no exception. There's even a Halloween fish to purchase, the most expensive one naturally, and he's just one big skeleton! The tanks are fairly elaborate, even as the tile pieces are simple. There were different fish than there were in Fishdom: Frosty Splash, so that was good to see, plus a bevy of décor and items that were appropriately themed for the scary season, like cauldrons, witches, pumpkins and so on. There are a number of them for you to purchase and improve, as well as all kinds of fish, decorations and comfort items to fill them with. The real scene-stealers, however, are the Halloween-themed tanks you'll be building as you progress through the game. It's all very cute and pleasant to look at. You'll see seashells, manta rays, conch shells and more, but you'll also see Halloween-themed pieces like witch's hats, ghosties and jack-o-lanterns. A lot of tile piece designs are the same as we have seen before in other Fishdom games, simply because the aquatic-themed ones would be. I can't say that there are no duplicates whatsoever, but I definitely didn't notice the same puzzles come up in this game as I had in Frosty Splash, so if there are duplicates, I didn't notice it. While the core concept is the same, Playrix Entertainment did take steps to make sure there was enough difference in both games to make them stand out in their own right. The look is pretty similar, however we're not simply dealing with a palette swap. ![]() Fishdom: Spooky Splash is very reminiscent of Fishdom: Frosty Splash, a game I reviewed earlier. ![]()
