Big Kahuna Reef is like several PC games out there that require players to make matches of three or more items in order to clear the board. With this game, your goal in the earlier stages is to clear the board and free the fish by making matches of three or more items. In later levels, you have to match 3 or more items in order to bust the fish out of boxes, chained boxes, metal boxes, and more.Irregular shaped puzzles and metal/chained boxes make for some challenges. I rarely run out of time on these puzzles, but when I first played it during a trial period, I did run out of time.There are four beautiful backgrounds and the fish are very relaxing.

Of all the "move the shape to match two more of the same" computer games I'd have to say this one is my favorite. Although the shapes are somewhat small, the board changes shape and size at each level. Little fish are created when you make matches and then they swim around the screen. There is an object to all the matching. You have to match until all the squares on each board is changed. Sometimes the boards have locks on them and then when you match a piece with a lock all the contents of the board spills into another board. It's really fun and just a nice all around game for young and old alike!

Both my husband and I like this game in the "Relaxed" mode. It calms our senses and you may make other personalized games for yourself or someone else, plus there are plenty of downloads if you want them.If you like this kind of relaxing game-- this is just the ticket.Shirley~
