Orchido is a beautiful Match 3 game played in the style of Bejeweled Twist. It allows you to relax and focus on score, as it contains a fairly generous timer.
What's it about?
Orchido is an alternative Match 3 game that invites you to get wrapped up in its beauty. The basic concept is to fill up a meter by making matches of three or more wildflowers. 
What you are working with as you play through the board are groups of four flowers. Instead of simply swapping one piece for another, petals in Orchido get rotated to form collections of three or more like items. Something that makes this unconventional matching process easier is the fact that mates don't have to be strictly in a straight line; they can also carry over to a line above or below the main pod.
As you are actively crafting matches, power-ups will drop in that include row removers and color blasters. You keep filling up meters and playing through levels until your little flower timer wilts.
