there.\u00a0 Unfortunately this game has nothing to do with Food Fight, as it\u2019s just another free-to-play match three puzzle game.\u00a0 But I\u2019ve already downloaded it so I might as well review it.\u00a0 It\u2019s also endorsed by an internet celebrity named Foodgod, who I\u2019ve never heard of.\u00a0 Design your avatar, pick a food truck, and match food items to serve to customers in this downloadable game for iOS and Android devices (reviewed on iPad here).<\/p>\n<p>The game plays like any other match three puzzler, so if you\u2019ve played anything like Bejeweled or Candy Crush, you know what to expect here.\u00a0 You can upgrade your truck with the diamonds and coins you earn, and travel to new places by earning stars.\u00a0 In each level you must match certain food and\/or obtain a certain score to pass.\u00a0 What\u2019s different is how you progress through the stages.\u00a0 In most other games of this ilk, you travel to each level on a map, and can\u2019t progress until you pass the level.\u00a0 But here you can progress even if you miss a level, and you don\u2019t have an energy meter that refills after a while.\u00a0 But to retry a level, you must use your hard-earned diamonds to try again.\u00a0 So after a couple dozen levels, progression comes to a halt.\u00a0 You can also play online with others by taking turns matching food for the best score.\u00a0 But I have certainly played better free match three puzzlers, as this seems to take a step or two backwards in the gameplay department as well.<\/p>\n<p><a
