King has just released his new mobile game, as usual very colorful. After the gems, the candies, here are the little soaps in Scrubby Dubby Saga that I had the opportunity to preview.
The story is cute: we play Dubby who lost his friend, Dixie (a duck), in the tub siphon. Without fear of danger, Dubby goes on an adventure and will have to get rid of all the soap possible!
The concept of the game is once again based on the association of colors: you have to match 3 or more elements of the same color in order to make them disappear. What does change, however, is the way the grid is manipulated. Here, there is no reversal between two elements or even lines to be drawn! You have to drag the rows or columns before bringing the element to the right place, like slipping soap!
When 3 soaps come together, they disappear. With 4 soaps, this creates a bottle that destroys either a row or a column. By combining two bottles or by combining 5 soaps, we get a cross bottle. And beyond that, we get the magical star bottle which destroys both horizontally and vertically and diagonally! Namely that the bottles can also be handled in the same way as the soaps.
Quickly, our friends are involved in the game and find themselves prisoners! You have to free them ... But the number of movements is counted and, after level 10-12, you have to start thinking a little to move forward. In all, four game modes are currently available:
- collect a number of soaps
- remove the soapy foam
- collect all pearls
- free friends
But the "free friends" mode is undoubtedly the most difficult.
If you fail, don't panic, 5 lives are just waiting to be consumed. It is also possible to acquire premium currency to get additional hits.
Each life takes 20 minutes to regenerate. Once again, it is possible to wait ... or to pay! King knows the recipe and reuses the operation that has proven its effectiveness on other titles of the publisher such as Candy Crush Saga and Farm Heroes Saga.
Cute, this game is sure to hit the mark and be the new jigsaw puzzle for the next few months. The difficulty is increasing and offers a good progression curve, without blocking or oversimplifying. To my great astonishment, it is still possible to renew the principle of the puzzle at the dawn of 2016! Available on iOS, Android or browser (Facebook), the game allows you to find your session regardless of the device used if the game is synchronized with Facebook. A good way to pass the time, whether you are on your computer or your laptop!
