On the third panel of the intro, the pink rabbit and the purple round-headed creature standing to the bottom-right of her look like Panini and Chowder.

If the player loses, he or she should get a chance to switch between the cat and the dog and the third animal for the next attempt.

Best way to beat boss is always try and take the attack/special attack bonus if there is one available, so that the squid can't attack you. Save defense and counter when there is more than one attack/special attack available, and just tank the damage.

Guys, trust me, even the last boss isn't too bad. (he is the hardest, of course, but totally beatable) Basic idea is to never let the enemy get purple or grey combos. Even if you have to give up your current turn to do it. You just have to be able to read the gems, and see what consequences your combo will have. Also since the gems at the top of the screen are random, it's usually best to do a horizontal 3 combo, rather than a vertical combo, if you have the choice. Another tip is, if there are 2 purple combos to get, instead of you getting 1, try to get a defense or counter combo. The AI will always go for a purple gem combo. By using a defense/counter combo you lessen the total effect of his combo. Another tip is, you can leave your character on a fight, go browse some stuff, and come back to free gems. (each higher boss gives more gems/does more damage)

I've actually really loved this game, despite the fact that I don't play it as much as I might. I'm actually a little surprised at people's issues... I beat the octopus my first try, with Pixel, who people say is the hardest to play.
To be fair, a lot of this game is luck. But I've found that you can really tip it in your direction with the right upgrades- defense and counter can actually be more useful that health or attack upgrades. Maxed defense is 100%, and maxing out counter can get you up to 146% (at least, that's the number I remember).

The final boss counts too much on luck. Basically, I can grind until I get the right combination of drops, or just get on with my life.

Great game and all. It has an interesting take on match-3 puzzle games. But, please explain the purpose of adding a timer.

The octopus powering up shouldn't cancel out my move if it's still in progress, especially since you can't control the order of what tiles are activated (i.e. it attacked him first, causing him to power up, before activating shield and counter, so I died on his first attack).

TIP FOR HARD CHALLENGE Pick RYU(dog) Max out till you get to the boss and every turn try to block if you can and use counter as a backup. Together they are unstoppable....also IF THERE ARE NO ATTACKS AVAILABLE SKIP YOUR TURN BY LETTING THE TIMER RUN OUT!!!! +++IF U AGREE!!!

Am I the only one who thinks the characters from this game seriously look like they belong in a nickelodian series? The music, the animation, all of it, it's just too catchy, I really wish I could see them in some sort've animated series.

If you're having problems with the final boss: Max out your defense/counters, and aim for getting Defense icons above all else. 100% damage block will be useful, and as long as you're matching vertical blue shields you should be making chain reactions that will give you attacks, counter bonuses, and fill your rage. If you can't match blue shields, match any attack gems that your opponent could use, but pick the HORIZONTAL ones so that no surprise gems fall down and line up a different set of attack gems. Control the board, and it shouldn't be too hard. Good luck!

For the final boss the greatest advice is to pray and steal every rage, special, and attack. That's how i did it in 20 minutes of luck. The only issue is the stupid counterattacks. Basically just watch each enemy goes after specific pieces in order, so if you can find that order you can plan ahead, and maybe force a few moves ;) Basically good luck

That's so unfair! My bomb blew up the galaxy bonus thingy you get from the 6-hit combo! But great game anyway, it's my 3rd time beating it already.

FINAL BOSS SECRETS - It is often better to not move at all and let time tick down for your move.... sometimes
That way the final Squid Boss only uses up some crappy non-attack moves, and brings down some better gems for you to kick his arse with...
Plus this and keep this afloat if this helps you to defeat the Squid..

yeah, this no longer works because the supernova link it gives you uses chat.kongregate.com instead of www.kongregate.com and this version of the game won't play on any other site except www.kongregate.com

I've played both Ryu and Pixel and beat the final boss on my first try with both of them, Pixel only at 75% upgrades. Bit took a second try after upgrading a bit, but I won with full life. Just gotta be patient and play smart: go counter/defense if you're in threat of being smacked, go attack/magic if his defenses are down, otherwise charge up on energy/life/rage. You'll last long enough that eventually you'll get enough bombs and x5's to get him down.

Sometimes really, really look like just a luck game.
Fun fact with the final boss : supernova black hole on pink (counter) and some blue drops with. Now have 100% armor and 425% counter.
Final boss made Purple attack and Rage attack : I took 0, and counter 400 + 800.
Lucky ending.
Resuming this game in one sentence : "Sometimes, you win."

Great game you have here! Even though I beat the game with all 3 characters, I find myself coming back to play more. The problem I have is that I think you get too many gems for losing near the end. The boss isn't as hard as people say too... Just max out defense and use it! The boss will end up wasting all his energy for nothing. Replay value could be better, but it is so fun anyway! 5/5

too much luck based...I can see pattern and make obvious 2x or 3x combos, but then the CPU makes 6x with gems spawning...can't beat that...

By far the best match 3 game I've ever played! my only criticism would be that battles drag on for excessively long lengths of time! Other then that great game 5/5!

This game turned out to be a lot of fun. I wish there were more bosses and more upgrades. With the upgrades, I hope a second version of this game makes them appear to be more critical to defeating more and more powerful bosses. This version, it seems like skillful play wins out regardless of upgrades purchased. That was a little disappointing and frustrating, but the challenge it added made the game great as well... hope that makes sense. Thanks for the awesome game mochigames

SUCK IT SQUID!
I've never felt so much accomplished in defeating a boss and beating the game. this games sucked me into hating my life and having a direful hatred to squids. Being a college student i can now study knowing this evil entity finally pwned regardless of it super buffed stats. OH man still exasperated that this thing virtually AI can sucked my apples after 50 tries. in retrospect maybe it is i who is squid, only a fool.

A little tip that seemed to work for me was to learn when to make a move and when to let the timer run out, so the opponent is forced to make a bad or useless move. Sometimes allowing you a better move next time.
I had battled the final boss about 30 times or so and about 5 tries after using the strategy I just described I finally beat him. Hope this helps !

The only surefire way to beat the boss is to play defensively. Essentially, if you intentionally attack him you're doing it wrong. Your first priority every turn should be to try to find a defense gem match followed by a counter attack.

After playing this for a long while, I just figured out that the when you have 100% defense it does nothing against the enemy counter attack, found this out on that damn Octopus.

Beat final boss on first try, all upgrades at 3 except counter was 4 (max), didnt get any rainbows or bombs, only "lucky" thing i got was i raged on first turn after he regened into second phase.. he seemed intent on picking up all rage, energy and special attacks, while i proceeded to beat him with leftover normal attacks and counters

I found a bug.
It's hard to explain so i'll try my best to simplify it.
lets say one column is like this: (S = star , H = heart , X = dont care)
S
S
S
H
H
X
X
X
So the three stars disappear and new blocks fall down.And the new column is like this:
H
H
H
H
H
X
X
X
So three hearts dropped down.And ı should have gotten a Five Combo,But i didn't.The two hearts that were already there and the first heart that fell down combined to make a Three combo and then the other 2 hearts fell down,wasting my five combo =(

I echo LordBucket's comment. Great game, but I've spent nearly three hours trying to beat the boss with all my upgrades maxed out. I've lost interest and won't play anymore... pretty much a waste of time at this point. If that could be balanced out a little more, it would be a great game.

Yeah - the boss is too damn hard. I had to repeat an earlier baddie or two, but I've been plugging away at the boss for the better part of an hour, with everything maxed. 5/5 before I hit the boss, 3/5 now.

People having a hard time with the final boss simply lack strategy. You cant just move blocks around and expect to win. You have to think about how your move will affect the board, and what moves it will leave him. On top of maxing defense and using counter, don't miss opportunities to strike for "free", meaning he will have no attack recourse when the board drops after your move.
There are a lot of suggestions I could make, but mostly, THINK AHEAD.
great overall game, loved it.

In later rounds, concentrating on getting defense and counterattack combos will make things a looooot easier. The boss can deal higher damage than you, just build your defense so you take little to nothing from it and dish it back.
