Free the Witch

Everything was alright in the world of magic until witches all over the world were being kidnapped. They’ve either been held in cages or turned to evil through possession. With their magic evil will conquer and slowly it’s making the lands above and below water decay. The evil magic is unstable. Having escaped what’s going on it’s up to you to complete puzzles and match magical items in order to free the witches held, beat their captors and restore order to the world.

Free the Witch is a straightforward match-three freemium game where instead of gems you match books, potions and blue magic energy balls. At certain points you can activate energy portals to more stages by collecting particular crystals. Eventually you encounter bosses that need to be defeated so you can free a witch. Every enemy you defeat and witch you rescue is logged in a scroll like diary. There are these nasty critters called Gibbers who multiple if you don’t destroy them by matching.

You need different tickets to open certain new areas or levels. Completing tasks like destroying a certain amount of Gribbers for example gives you a ticket that can only be used on the bonus Atlantis stages. One particular ticket can also be redeemed via a daily spinning wheel of bonus items. In between all the match 3 levels you also have puzzle levels where you have to complete a level within a particular set of moves. Power-ups to use in levels or magical owls can be bought via the in-game store. There’s also an achievements system built into the game that offers power-ups or cash if an achievement is completed.
