Laruaville 5 – Coins and Trunks
You have a range of coins to collect. Apart from the simple coin, the others require additional action to make them available for you to collect them.
Coins include: simple coin, dirty coin – first you need to remove the dirt by making a combo or explosion next to it, trunk coins – collect all these to unlock a trunk, frozen coin – requires fire to free it first, halved coins – bring the 2 halves together before you can collect it, locked coins – requires a key to unlock it, coin moulds – which needs a drop of gold in it to make a coin.
Once you’ve cleared all the trunk coins, you activate the Trunk. In the trunk you’ll find various items. For example keys or power-ups.
Laruaville 5 – Review
Laruaville 5 continues the series with some nice new challenging twists. With a huge range of obstacles that you have to think about first. Before you get down to playing the game, and consider how to tackle them. Keeping in mind your objective of collecting all the coins and trunks. This makes this installment even more tricky and interesting than previous Laruaville games.
Now not only do you have to clear the board with match 3 or more combos. You also have to take into consideration how you are going to use power-ups. And matching combos to free items that are currently inaccessible or blocked. Whether it’s making more dynamite to blast your way through. Or using cannons, fire, bombs or other weapons to unblock items. This all makes this new Laruaville game more difficult. But also more satisfying when you complete each level.
Plus there are building elements and mini-games throughout to mix things up a bit. With this variety, you get more than just the run of the mill match 3 game. So if you are looking for a match 3 game with more interesting game play and challenge, you’ll enjoy Laruaville 5.
This is the 5th installment in the series. See my post: Laruaville Match 3 Game Series. For all the game titles in the series so far. For PC and Mac, in order of release.
