Gel: Set & Match
Gel: Set & Match is a puzzle game where creatures need to match wobbly,
jelly blocks. It is the sequel to Fuzzee Fever by the same developer. Players
can choose from a number of creatures and customize their appearance. The game
is played from an almost top-down view. The creatures are able to move in any
direction and need to form matches of four blocks or more of the same colour,
in any pattern, as long as touch vertically or horizontally. To do that
creatures can pick up certain blocks and then put them down near others to
create a match. Alternatively they can throw the block and while it slides it
can form a match where it passes, even if it does not stop at that point.
Blocks can also be pushed around. That way it is possible to create multiple
matches at once. The blocks do not melt right away, so there are a few seconds
where it can be picked up again to throw it somewhere else, forming combo
chains.
The game offers three modes: Puzzle, Action and Battle. In Puzzle the goal is
to clear the blocks on a number of pre-defined boards in a set amount of moves
to progress. There are about 120 levels and when a number of levels is cleared
under par in a single stage, a bonus area is unlocked. In Action a creature
needs to clear a path of blocks for a bulldozer moving at a steady pace. The
blocks cannot touch the bulldozer and it is possible to have it speed up when
a large area has been cleared. The third mode, Battle, is further divided into
three game types: Fever Points, Volleybomb and Emblems. These are competitive
game modes against other players.
In the Action and Puzzle mode melted blocks often leave behind stars that can
be selected. These can be exchanged in the item shop for new customization
options for the characters. The game supports both offline and online
multiplayer games, cooperative (for two players) or competitive (up to four
players).
