Gameplay
Initially, when I found out this was another match-3 game, I didn’t see how it would be any different from the millions of others on the app store. However, Pokémon Mix Café is definitely different from any other puzzle game I’ve seen.
You own a cafè and every customer happens to be a Pokémon, which is pretty cool in my eyes. To serve your customers, you need to complete the goals in the match-3 game and your friendship will increase.
Instead of all icons on the screen set out, you can move them about in order to match them and get a score. This is cool because it allows you to get a higher score quicker, however, it can sometimes be hard to view how many icons you’ve picked up.
Graphics
The graphics for Pokémon Mix Café is definitely one of my favorites due to the fact it’s done in an artistic style. Whoever was hired to do these graphics has done a tremendous job and makes the game a lot more calming, which I think was the idea.
Music & Sounds
The music and sounds are very light and fun, very much what you’d expect from a cute Pokémon game. I just found it a shame to not hear any of the characters speak – it was completely a script you have to read yourself. Despite this, I still enjoyed the music and sounds and they definitely fit in well with the gameplay and genre.
Controls
Like a lot of match-3 puzzle games out there, you need to drag to match the Pokémon and reach the goals. As you’re going through the dialog, you have to tap through but ultimately dragging is the main control.
