Glow Worm really stands the test of time.  Flashbang made it back in 2005 but the graphics, sound and overall production are still above average for most casual titles today.  Glow Worm is a pretty innovative spin on the Match 3 Genre.  I would describe it as a ‘strategic’ match 3 (actually it takes 4 to match in this game) since you have a lot more control over your combos than in most games.  In Glow Worm, you place caterpillars onto a level grid.  The spots on the caterpillars indicate which color butterfly they will turn into allowing you to setup combos to your liking.  Casual Matching games are a dime a dozen and it’s pretty remarkable to see such an innovative spin on match 3 that hasn’t been cloned over and over again in the past 5 years. Glow Worm was not a success in the casual market or a moneymaker for Flashbang.  I guess that’s why there haven’t been a lot of imitators.

Score: 8/10 – Rank: 5th
