This Week on the Marketplace: Poker Smash and Crystal Quest Update


Combine equal parts poker, country music and Bejeweled, stir with 800 Marketplace points, and this Wednesday you’ll have the recipe for Poker Smash. Sure, the title sounds derivative but developer Void Star Creations boasts talent from the Oddworld series, so we’ll certainly give the demo a try. Also, the color scheme is reminiscent of Devil Dice/Bombastic, a title which begs for a Marketplace update.

There’s also a reason to play Crystal Quest once more. The designers have added a combo system; subsequent crystals will add to a score multiplier. As such, leaderboards will be reset to account for the new scoring system.
