now you can play a free-to-play match three puzzle game on mobile devices (reviewed on iPad here) featuring favorite K-Pop stars in cartoony, \u201cchibi\u201d forms that make me think of those Tiny Tan Happy Meal toys McDonald\u2019s had last year.<\/p>\n<p>When you start the game, you\u2019ll choose a little character and they\u2019ll have music to go along with them while you play.\u00a0 It\u2019s typical match three puzzle gameplay here.\u00a0 Slide around pieces with the touch screen to match three colors, and if you match four or more in different patterns, you\u2019ll get a power-up to help you clear more pieces.\u00a0 You have limited moves to clear out certain tiles in each level.\u00a0 Do that and you\u2019ll pass, but miss and you\u2019ll lose a try.\u00a0 Lose all five and you must wait a while to start again.<\/p>\n<p>With the in-game currency you get, you can decorate a virtual room with poster photos of K-Pop stars and adorn them with stickers.\u00a0 Oh boy.\u00a0 Clearly I\u2019m not the target audience for this game.\u00a0 I guess that\u2019s why I lost interest in this one quicker than other match three puzzles.<\/p>\n<p><a
