Plotline

-
The oracle-like sphere in Atlantis has seen into the future and knows about the devastation that will occur soon! It has also seen how Atlantis could be saved and the only person who can do so is you! There will be many trials that await you if you took up the burden to save the city, but, don’t worry, there will be hints along the way to help you too!

There had also been a man who was here before you, but he had failed to save Atlantis. His diary which detailed his every movement and thoughts have been scattered all over Atlantis. Collect the pages of his diary to learn lots of interesting things about the city as well as the secret that he has borne!

Gameplay

The game starts off with a simple tutorial, which teaches you the basics of the game, by guiding you through your first level. Then, you’ll be allowed to choose a character from the 2 choices given, either the boy or the girl. Once you’re done, you can embark on your exciting Atlantis Adventure by going straight into the second level of the game!

The gameplay in this game is fairly straightforward, particularly if you have had experience with match-3 games before. What you need to do is to move the crystals in order to get at least 3 in a row or a column. Sometimes, you may also manage to get a 4-crystal match. For 4-crystal matches, you’ll obtain a crystal with a ring around it – the ring can be horizontal or vertical, depending on the direction you swapped the crystal with. Swapping the crystal upwards or downwards will earn you a vertical-ringed crystal while swapping the crystal sideways (left or right) will award you with a horizontal-ringed crystal instead! These ringed crystals will be able to clear entire rows or columns, depending on the direction of its ring, via the power of lightning when matched.

For 5-crystal matches, you’ll get a hypercube as opposed to the ringed crystals for 4-crystal matches. Hypercubes functions to remove all crystals of the same color from the field when swapped. Not to mention, if you managed to perform 2 3-crystal matches in an L- or T-configuration, you will get a flame crystal. When matched with at least 2 other crystals of the same color, the flame crystal will explode. The explosion will vaporize all the crystals within a 2-crystal radius, clearing up quite a huge number of crystals. However, you must perform a match in order to trigger the explosion, unlike in other games whereby you can double click it to set it off. If you ran out of moves in any of the levels, the game will automatically shuffle your crystals before the game will resume.

Atlantis Adventure provides a nice variety of level types with a varying list of objectives that you’ll need to complete in order to proceed to the next level. The most basic level type requires you to only collect the required number of points, provided that you’re given limited number of moves. There are also other level types, which include clearing all the tiles on the field, bring down all the runes, collect the number of points required within a very short period of time or a combination of any of the above with the objective for the basic level type. Don’t worry though! The game is very easy for the first 2 chapters at least, and you can get all 3 stars on your first playthrough. Furthermore, any leftover moves that you may have will be randomly turned into ringed crystals and activated in turns in the Winner Bonus round at the end of the level. After all, any bonus points are always welcomed!

However, as your progress in the game, you will gradually encounter various special items and obstacles that make the game much more challenging and fun! For example, you may be asked to clear multiple-layered (up to 4 times) tiles instead of the easy single-layered tiles you first encountered. Not to mention, some crystals may also be netted and thus are locked in place. Besides obstacles, there are also special items, like colored butterflies, in Atlantis Adventure. When matched, each butterfly will help you to randomly clear 3 crystals of the same color by spawning 2 more butterflies to help it.

Atlantis Adventure also implements a life system. The game provides you with a maximum of 5 lives, which will only be lost if you failed in any of the levels you played in. These lives lost can be regenerated over some time, though, if you want lives faster, you can purchase them using real money or pester your friends for more!

Of course, no one likes losing lives in any game. Thus, you are offered a huge range of helpful boosters that you can buy if you get the feeling that you’re going to fail a level. Some examples include sky fire booster, which will transform any crystal into a flame crystal; god’s hand that allows crystals to be swapped even though the move is otherwise impossible; shiny bow that breaks any 1 crystal on the field and sands of time, which returns the crystal field one move back. There are also the starfall boosters that will break 6 random crystals, tornado whereby tiles in selected rows are destroyed and time freeze, which will slow down time on levels with a time limit. These boosters will be available to you one by one as you progress in the game. However, only a selected number of boosters can be used for certain levels – it’s obvious that you cannot use time freeze for a basic level type since there is no timer in that level!

Interestingly, in Atlantis Adventure, you are able to use boosters to forge amulets. Amulets are improved boosters, such as time spiral, which will add an extra 10 seconds to the timer. They also include items that provide a permanent boost to your game. For instance, the life amulet will increase your total number of lives to 8, permanently.

There are plenty of achievement artifacts that you can try to acquire in Atlantis Adventure as well! However, most of the achievements will be automatically awarded to you whenever you finished a stage in the game, such as the Amulet of Luck bestowed to you by Athena after you’ve completed your first stage and the Shield of the Ancient Gods after you’ve helped the elemental in stage 2 to recover the wheel from his locomotive. These artifacts serve no functional purpose, except as tools for bragging, of course!
