If your main exposure to match-3 titles comes from the likes of Candy Crush and similar games that serve primarily as ad delivery vehicles, you might be surprised at how good and how varied the genre can be. I’ve written before about the novel reinvention of match-3 in Kaamos, launching later in April, but this month also sees the release of another inventive puzzle adventure from one of the most exciting indie developers around.
In the past few years, Strange Scaffold has been on a steady run of fascinating and original games, like I Am Your Beast, Clickolding, and El Paso, Elsewhere. Now, the studio is turning its attention to a familiar form of puzzle game and putting its unique stamp on it. Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 was announced just two months before its release, with a demo showing off just how far it twists the structure of typical match-3 games.
