DESCRIPTION

Marching Martians! presents the tile-matching of action-puzzles such as Bejeweled on a game board that looks and plays like a Space Invaders-style arcade shooter. As invading red-planet repressors descend from the top of the screen, players eliminate them in groups by zapping two or more with matching colors. When individual Martians are eliminated, others fall in to fill their place, creating possibilities for point-boosting combos. Only a certain number of enemies, below a certain point on the screen, need to be eliminated to move on to the next level, so strategy is required to destroy them in the right order to earn points from as many as possible, The game's main mode follows a tongue-in-cheek narrative of the Martian invasion, supported with cut-scenes and text. A time-limited "Blitz" and an unlimited "Endless" mode of play are also available. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
