Ocean Catch Match

Ocean Catch Match is a fun, aquatic version of the game concentration. It is easy to learn and keeps your mind focused when you are trying to kill some time. It is great to play on a cell phone or PDA since you can play anywhere and everywhere. Just download it and roll.

The main character in the game is the guy referred to as "Crazy Uncle Ned." Now, Ned is a rare enough name so they probably didn't offend anyone by using it. Still, using "Ned" actually takes away from the game. You don't need to know that the symbols you are trying to match represent his collection from the ocean. It is simply extra, non-essential information that game designers these days feel compelled to add to every game.

Anyway, once you get past Uncle Ned, your job is to match all the odd symbols representing creatures and items from the deep. Of course, there are the usual sea shells and shark cards. Yet there are also some neat items that you may never have seen. Before playing, I had known what a sea urchin was (they make delicious sushi!), but I did not know what one looked like.

I did know what a jellyfish looked like because I have had the misfortune to be stung more than once. I wonder why the game designer felt the need to add such a horrid creature to what is a simple fun game? Personally, he could have used images of tasty fish like flounder instead of the big jellyfish. It may not seem like a big deal, but loading a game with images that you detest actually dampens the whole gaming experience.

Still, if you want to test your brain and kill some time, download Ocean Catch Match to your mobile device and play a few rounds.
