Game Review
If you want to know why I am doing this game review, it's because I saw my sister playing this flash game in the afternoon. She challenges me to play a game with her... Obviously, challenge accepted! I won her effortlessly in first try; 7.5k to 5.8k points. :)

Goggleyes is simple, easy to pick up and play but most importantly... addictive like no other. Goggleyes is all about dragging bubbles to increase group of same color. You can swap bubbles if only they form a group of three or more. Lastly, double click to pop three or more bubbles. I find Goggleyes pretty interesting and I haven't seen this exact mechanic before.

I have played quite a number of match-three puzzles. Most of them ends at the 60 second mark, and you probably need to really concentrate hard enough just to score high points. However in Goggleyes, I can do the same but in a relatively slow pace with no time limit, which allows you to think slowly on your next move. Planning is quite important if you want to beat the score. Always beware of gray bubbles, they appear randomly and slowly accumulating to block your possible moves. It is not clickable but can be destroyed only by bombs. Normally, the endgame is pretty intense when it comes to getting those last few points.

Even though getting the very highest scores involves a small degree of luck, I would say it is still strangely addicting. It has a colorful graphic and funny music make this game sweet and fascinating. If you're looking for a simple, straightforward match-three game, this is worth a try or two.
