Description
The object of the game is to select groups of like pieces called JawDroppers, to remove them from the board, and to score as many points as possible. The more pieces that are grouped together and removed, the higher the score. Choose from either regular mode to clear the board, or the never-ending continuous mode to challenge your mind. Play traditional JawDropper or Slider. Combine these versions with regular or continuous mode for a new challenge. Version 1.0.3 includes unspecified updates.
Review
JawDropper 2007 is a basic puzzle game that involves matching groups of similar objects in order to clear the game board. Although we have seen similar games before, JawDropper's attractive interface and many options make it one of the best.
The program's graphics are quite attractive and sleek. The default version features credibly 3D-looking balls, but users can choose from many different backgrounds and JawDropper objects. There are seasonal themes, such as jewels, flowers, billiards balls, and many others. All of these were high quality, and we had fun playing with different combinations of backgrounds and objects. The built-in Help file offered both instructions for playing the game and an overview of its various features. Gameplay was simple and addictive. The game has plenty of features, including five levels of difficulty, each of which contains three different board sizes. The game's appearance can be customized with controls for background opacity and image stretch; users can choose a solid color instead an of background image if they prefer. When Cheat mode is enabled, users can shuffle pieces, add rows, and undo their last actions. Overall, the program is well-designed with plenty of room for customization, and although by nature it's a bit of a one-trick pony, it's a lot of fun. We had trouble tearing ourselves away from it.
JawDropper 2007 has a 14-use trial. It installs politely and uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users seeking a fun and simple puzzle game.
