Vivid Games, if you’re not familiar, made the tongue-in-cheek match-three 
game Boozle for the iPhone. This time GDN got an exclusive sneak peek at their just submitted iPhone game, Electro Hunter. While it’s still a match-three game it’s completely different from the previous title.
In Electro Hunter you take on the role of Raven who hunts Quarks (we’re guessing at her purpose really). In order to destroy them you have to use your weapon to shoot quarks into the central hub and match three of the same color. Fairly simple enough. Along the way you’ll find levels that have time limits, mines which will increase difficulty, bosses that will need to be de
feated and Quarks trying to escape back into the portal.
By spinning yourself around the portal you can line up your shot to take out those pesky quarks. From time to time special items will appear including color doom which destroys all of one color, iron boots which lets Raven stomp straight through a line of Quarks, a shield and atomic bombs which destroy all Quarks on the screen.
The game boasts cool graphics, good sound, achievements and over 30 levels of spinning, match-three action. The controls can either be touch of tilt but both will require a little getting used to.
A couple things I noticed that could use some fixing are the fact that the interface gets in the way of gameplay sometimes and I found myself accidentally changing the quark I had ready when trying to move. Also you can’t hold your position with one finger and attack with the other. You have to lift the first to activate the attack which is a little strange.
Overall, Electro Hunter is shaping up to be a cool and fun game headed for the iPhone app store sometime in the near future. Look for our full review as early as Friday and the game on the iPhone App Store in the next week or three.
