Secret of the Seas is the latest game from iWin, the company who brought us Jewel Quest, which owed a large creative debt to Bejewelled. There are many, many, many, other puzzle games which use the same match 3 gems gameplay mechanic.
Copy cat behaviour is not limited to puzzle games though - as the recent spate of hidden object and restaurant/time management games shows. Does anyone mind this endless recycling of ideas? Or do these new games inject some freshness to the playing experience? I've been playing Secret of the Seas recently, primarily because i've got a bit bored of Jewel Quest, so the change of scene is a nice distraction.
What do you think?
