Two New Kindle Games

Smiles ($2.99), by Sykhronics Entertainment, is sort of a match-3 game, but has additional options that make strategy a factor.
Game Description
Light up the board in this cheerful matching game that combines patience and strategy, resulting in a uniquely fun experience.

The object of Smiles is to create contiguous sets of matching tiles until no unmatched pieces are left. Make matches by swapping tiles on the board with the tile in your hand. Matches are easy at first, but the challenge comes later when you try to create new matches while not undoing existing matches or blocking future matches. Fortunately, you can undo a move with just a button press, and you can exit and resume your game at any time.

Smiles features randomly generated levels for nearly infinite replayability with 4 difficulty modes and 2 cheerful themes including Weather and Vegetables. Regular and high-contrast versions of each theme are available, and you can see how well you did with post game statistics and a high score chart.

When you can finally match all the pieces, you'll be all smiles!
