Hidden Wonders of the Depths 2: Around the World - The Little Crab Is Back!

The beautiful and addictive game Hidden Wonders of the Depths has recently received a continuation that features all the advantages of the first part and offers even more fun!

The home sea is already explored? Time to go farther!

Actually, the game offers no story at all, which is well compensated by the game play and graphics value. It's just about your little crab being bored of living in his home waters and going global to see seas and oceans all over the world. So you'll travel underwater to various spots in all the possible oceans and near all the possible continents while solving a wide range of puzzles.

Yes, as you might guess, the vast variety of game modes of the original game is preserved in the sequel. The basic task that you'll face most often is match 3 with the unique twist. You'll have not just to get the minimum number of matches or minimum points. Your task is to lead your little crab along a path by clearing tiles in front of him. In the end you'll get a reward, like a piece of puzzle, an additional life or some additional money for upgrades. In some levels your crab will have a friend and you'll need to lead them both along their  individual paths.

Of course, the further you progress in the game, the more complicated the tasks become. You'll meet stones preventing you from moving, chains preventing you from swapping certain tiles etc. And, surely, there will be ways of dealing with the obstacles. Some of them are power-ups you earn during the game play. First you should collect all puzzle pieces, then solve a jigsaw puzzle (those are rather challenging, I must say), and then you'll be able to use it in matching levels after you match the necessary number of certain characters (they are different for each power-up).

Besides match 3 you will also play some traditional collapse levels, as well as memory game and bonus hidden object levels. As you proceed, you'll see all the diverse tasks you'll be offered.

As you earn some money during the game, there is supposed to be a place to spend it. Here you will build the dream home for a small charming mermaid and at the same time buy new inhabitants for your ocean view and also purchase additional lives for yourself (they may be needed if you choose to play Standard and not Relaxed mode).

I must also say a couple of words about the graphics and animation of the game. Here they are: Just Gorgeous!

Are you still there? Personally I'm on my way to explore Hidden Wonders of the Depths 2!
