Game du Jour Deals: April 2 through April 8

Pharaohs' Curse Gold
Pharaohs' Curse Gold is a platform game mixed with cool puzzles, in fact, the main focus is on the puzzle elements. In this game you can use drills, hammers, picks and shovels to break the tiles that guard the gold. When you collect all the gold in a given level, the exit door unlocks and you can go to the next level.
Easter Bonus
Writer: Kaonashi
I'm a fan of matching puzzle games, so I was happy to review Easter Bonus. Like many matching games, the objective is to turn all the tiles on a grid into a different color before time runs out. To do so, match at least three of the same items by clicking and dragging. Since the game has an Easter theme, the items are eggs, baby chicks, flowers, and so on.
There are 110 levels available, though I don't know if there are any secret levels. Once unlocked, you can replay any level at any time. Although you can't earn extra lives, you can start where you left off, but you lose all the points you'd earned. Special items are available to help you out of some sticky situations. For example, balloons and explosives get rid of many items at once, while matches and stars "thaw" frozen, immovable tiles. There's also a "Hint" button if you're stuck.
My one small complaint about Easter Bonus is that it's a holiday-themed game, of which I'm not a fan. It's just my opinion, but it feels a little odd playing such a game when that holiday is over. However, if you're a fan of matching games, and the holiday theme doesn't bother you, then by all means check it out.
Check back for more reviews during the week!
