Great Game
I love this game because it is winable. Hard in some places so it is not a walk in the park but still winable. And does not send you back to the first if you loose a screen.

THE VERY BEST OF COLOR-SEQUENCING PUZZLES!!!
After ZUMA's success, a number of clones appeared - and ATLANTIS-SKY PATROL is the one that actually broke new ground and greatly improved the concept.
A series of colored balls (with the number of different colors increasing every few levels) gets pushed and you have to match them in sets of three or more in order to remove them - and prevent them from reaching the end zone. Here is the twist: somewhere on the screen, there is are groups of stationary colored balls that need to be hit and broken in order to stop the stream of incoming balls.
Similar to LUXOR, instead of having the "shooter" in the center, it is located at the bottom and it slides left and right. This makes for some quite difficult shots (especially when obstructed by the advancing row of balls) and raises the difficulty of the game. On the other hand, the power-ups are more truly powerful and visually impressive - whereas, at the end of every round a number of coins and gems drop and "catching" them add lives to your paddle. It seems pretty straight-forward yet it can become highly...addictive!
My only complain is that, compared to ZUMA and LUXOR, this is a shorter game.
This is an excellent example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming: small, resource-flexible games that are fun for the whole family.
It would not be a bad idea to download the 60-min trial version from a casual games site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
