No kidding!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I stand corrected if this game manages to sell more copies than other match-three puzzlers in the market.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>"Match Three Game on TIGSource!" by Chris</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently, Mr. Robot, and Chocolate Castle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also own Zen Puzzle Garden, Starscape, Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space, Darwinia, and Oasis. Probably a few others I&amp;#8217;m forgetting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Been ages since i bought an indie game :B Tho I sure as hell will buy Aquaria and been thinking about buying Chocolate Castle. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As far as this here Match Four or more thing goes, well presented but ultimately boring.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;OK, so you guys are doing your part&amp;#8230; keep it up. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last one I bought was DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold&amp;#8230; but I also have a GamePass&amp;#8230; which I keep meaning to get rid of.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;when was the last time you guys actually BOUGHT an indie game?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I bought Rock Legend just a few days ago, and PeaceMaker a few weeks before that. To be fair, before that it was probably last year before I bought anything.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Bought an indie game?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8230;Gish?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Haha, seriously though, probably one of the XBLA titles. I&amp;#8217;m still trying to fight my way through Eets: Chowdown without using the &amp;#8216;solution&amp;#8217; function but I&amp;#8217;m failing quite miserably now. Ah, and I did buy Mr.Robot, which I still haven&amp;#8217;t completed because of my computer exploding. Still hoping that was just some mild coincidence rather than AI assisted suicide, but there you go.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Way to support indie gaming, Timmay. Sure, the world didn&amp;#8217;t need another match-3 game, but where&amp;#8217;s Aquaria then?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Mark said that TSE 2 was over a year from release about 6 months ago.  TIGSource will keep you guys informed when it gets closer to release.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last one I bought was Qwak for the GBA. I&amp;#8217;m happy to buy indie games - just not that fussed on playing games on the ole computer-box.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Regarding the difficulty, we did find it hard to make everybody happy at the same time. But once you reach the first island, expert mode gets unlocked - that should be challenging enough for you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Clearly it&amp;#8217;s a game produced for business goals&amp;#8230; being easy makes it a lot more appealing to the casual (read: money) audience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sure it&amp;#8217;ll get panned by tigsource readers, but when was the last time you guys actually &lt;em&gt;BOUGHT&lt;/em&gt; an indie game?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I was expecting more, considering the history of&amp;#8230; erm&amp;#8230; game history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Regardless, game is waaaay too easy. Nice, fun, but too easy for me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been an avid reader of Jesper&amp;#8217;s stuff. He&amp;#8217;s a smart guy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was definately surprised at him doing a match 3 game, though. Would have expected something a bit more novel. Not that there&amp;#8217;s anything wrong with match 3&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8230; except them being not novel in any way.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
