Good gameplay marred by tackiness. – Ancient Gears Review

The gameplay itself is pretty good. A comparison to Fruit Ninja and Bejewelled is accurate, as you're looking for combos, but furiously swiping the entire time. The "poison" gem does a good job of keeping it from just being a random swipefest. Now, on to the earned gems. Games where you either earn "cash" in game, or buy them are here to stay...but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I can grudgingly accept a game that allows you to buy cash, and the game lets you earn it through gameplay at a decent, sorta slow pace...but earning gems via registering with advertising partners? That just feels... Tacky.
