\"FANCY_BOX\"<\/a>If you enjoy feeding and dressing up virtual pet cats by playing a match-three puzzle game, then Fancy Cats is for you!\u00a0 It\u2019s a free-to-play mobile title (reviewed on iPad here).\u00a0 There are two parts to this game.\u00a0 You keep your cats in a garden where you can dress and feed them with various items you\u2019ve earned by playing match-three puzzle missions in the square.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the square area, you can play up to five match-three puzzle missions.\u00a0 The gameplay is pretty much like any other game of this ilk, so if you\u2019ve played Bejeweled or Candy Crush or its many clones, you\u2019ll know what to expect here.\u00a0 In each playfield are boxes that have gifts that you must open, either by letting them drop to the bottom, or matching colors around them.\u00a0 Other times you must match fish that are the same color as the tiles.\u00a0 Winning will net you clothes to dress your cats, coins or jewels to buy items, or fish and other food to feed them.\u00a0 Earn stars to level up, although I\u2019m not sure what good that does.\u00a0 After you\u2019ve finished your missions, you\u2019ll have to wait to get more, but it doesn\u2019t take that long.\u00a0 You can also view ads to get new missions right away.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the garden you can play with your cats.\u00a0 Drag and drop to dress them in outfits.\u00a0 You can also feed them if they\u2019re hungry, and they\u2019ll give you some coins in return.\u00a0 They\u2019ll also level up, enabling them to wear new garments.\u00a0 Give them treats and they\u2019ll do silly things.\u00a0 Use the coins and jewels that you earn to buy new items and clothes for your cats.\u00a0 You can also buy new cats and areas for them to live, but those cost so much coins and jewels that it would take forever to earn the needed cash just by playing.\u00a0 But that\u2019s the nature of free-to-play games.\u00a0 Unless you just really like playing dress up with fictional feline furballs, this match-three clone really doesn\u2019t have anything new to offer players.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing objectionable or violent here.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the instructional text, but not necessary as most everything has picture cues and it\u2019s pretty easy to figure out how to play.\u00a0 Parental supervision is recommended for the in-game ads and purchases, though.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
