Will there be ISpy anyway? Or you just have to draw too many assets for it and it doesn’t worth it? Then we decided to transform the mechanics so that it wouldn’t be identical to the Fishdom one and it took three months more. It happened during the soft launch stage. In fact, we based the game on the match-3 part of Fishdom and redrawn its graphic assets.

It could take much more if we didn’t have Fishdom. You can say we used all the content except the levels. We transferred some of the quests, but some were simply removed.

For example, there were story quests to find certain items in different rooms: screwdrivers to loosen something in the garden, etc. Yes, we transferred almost everything, except some small things, which were strongly tied to the HOG mechanics. So you transferred all the content from ISpy version to match-3 one? How much time did you spend on the first version and how much did the transition take? Top Grossing Games in Russia, iPhone / iPad, 3rd day of Gardenscapes release

The result convinced us that we should release this version of the game, though metrics of the HOG version were on the hit level too. We decided to experiment and put together the finished garden from Gardenscapes and match-3 of Fishdom. After Fishdom soft launch we thought that “match-3 + garden” may also work. This happened when ISpy-version of Gardenscapes was almost ready. How is it possible? The series was a HOG for seven years and suddenly turned into match-3? How and why did this happen?
