Dark Harvest
Evil vegetable-growing match-3 puzzler for the iPhone.
Bellevue, WA (October 13, 2009) . Red Rocket Games, creators of iPhone games with irreverent humor, original scores, and unique gameplay, has just released "Dark Harvest". This eerily addictive game is a unique take on Match-3 gameplay. In "Dark Harvest", the goal is not just to match 3 and clear the board, but also to grow a garden of evil vegetables. To do this, you need to go on an Adventure, where each level cleared gives the player an evil vegetable to grow. Fill up all 30 vegetables in your garden, and you are the ultimate winner. If you don't have time for a full adventure and just need a quick fix, you can also choose to play a "Quick Play" game of any unlocked level. For only $2.99, this spooky and haunting game will have you playing until next Halloween.
Gameplay
In "Dark Harvest" the gameplay is simple . shoot chemical orbs into a cloud. Touch the screen to aim and release your finger to shoot. A helpful on-screen trajectory helps you aim. Orbs stick to each other on contact. Three or more orbs of the same color that are stuck together burst, creating rain. However, if you don't match the orbs quickly enough, other balls will fill the screen, ending your game. Meet the required number of matches to finish the level, and an evil vegetable is yours to grow. Collect all 30 crazy, evil plants, and browse them in your garden at any time.
