Sinterra Free

iOS Universal

Sinfully addictive, vibrantly colored, and fantastically fun, this is Sinterra. Sinterra is a Match-3 game featuring bright balloons including traditional round balloons as well as fun shapes of ducks, hearts, kites, stars, and clouds. A summers day sky-scape including wispy clouds and sunshine drifts lazily behind the semi-transparent board.

The premise of Sinterra is to drag balloons vertically (both up and down) creating a horizontal line of at least three symbols, and up to five. The board is 11 columns wide by 7 rows high. If your placement of the balloon results in a match, the cascade will *pop* with fun sound effects. If your placement isn’t valid, the column will return to its original position. The more balloons you match, the greater your score. A match with rarer balloons may result in an even higher score yet. Consult the Score Matrix with a tap of the info button, the board will flip over to reveal all, including high scores.

What you see isn’t necessarily all you get! As you drag a balloon, up to 7 more will appear from “behind the scenes” increasing your ability to make a match. Be careful! If you drag a balloon and find your intended match doesn’t work, Sinterra may have found one you didn’t see. That cascade will *pop* changing the board, and perhaps your strategy.

New symbols will take the place of those you pop, and if they automatically create a cascade, bonus matches of 2X, 3X, and even 8X are possible. Levels increase with time, and equally, balloons will start to deflate on their own. As they deflate, making a match will become more difficult, and only a big match will recover them.

Sinterra is all about the visuals and includes dynamically changing balloon colors. The single and double balloons will change color with every reload. Prefer a different color scheme? Tap on the home button and reload Sinterra. Fresh colors will await you.

We just thought you should know what you’re in for.
