Glyph has the basic concept of most Bejeweled style games. Match three or more like colors to remove the pieces from the board. What Glyph has going for it is variety of gameplay andlongevity. The main campaign of Glyph consists of 200 stages. Yes, 200 stages that attempt to tell the story of Kuros and how discovering glyphs can save the world. The story itself isn’t exactly mind blowing, but we’re not here for the storytelling, we want to match some colored pieces. The main quest in Glyph requires you to break away rock located behind the colored pieces to reveal a glyph. To break away rock just match at least three like colors. The rock won’t fully break with a single match, it requires a couple of color matches to fully reveal the glyph behind the rock. Sometimes a piece is crossed out on the left side of your screen. These pieces are still used in the game but the piece is unable to break away any rock when it is matched. In the quest, you aren’t required to reveal the entire space behind the pieces, just reveal the glyph to finish the stage. The further you progress into the game, the more variety of color pieces that are on the screen at a time. Power-ups can be gained by matching multiples of like pieces. The more pieces you match at a time, the quicker you gain power ups. They start weak but can become powerful. For example, let’s say you have a power-up of “color spread.” It starts out weak so if you use it right away your color won’t spread very far. The longer you wait to use it and the more pieces you match the more powerful it becomes. If it reaches the maximum spread, the entire map can be turned to the color of your choice. A wide variety of power-ups exist which are chosen at random, so use them wisely. In arcade mode, you must not allow the pieces to reach the top. Keep matching and removing pieces as quickly as you can to avoid losing a life. All in all, if you have some spare time in your hands, then you should definitely try playing this game.
