About This Game

Venice is sinking and only you can save it! From the floating fortress of your golden gondola, you'll restore the city by returning its lost treasures. Sling costly coins, launch lovely lyres and ricochet ruby rings into the corresponding spaces overhead. Use your arsenal of special shots to create cascading combos and earn bonus points along the way. But beware — shelves, chutes, swirlies and other traps will make things tricky, so you'll need power-ups like Wild Shot and Wings to help you sail through the levels. So grab your gondola and get ready — with a majestic soundtrack, gloriously ornate artwork and four enduring game modes, Venice is a classic test of wits, will and skill!
  • Dive into 4 game modes: Journey, Flood, Survival and Trick Shots
  • Save 72 buildings over 8 neighborhoods
  • Wield astonishing power-ups like Wild Shot and Wings
  • Overcome obstacles like tricky chutes, sinister swirlies and more
  • Revel in ornate art, mellifluous music and spectacular effects
  • Earn bonus points and power-ups with terrific tumbles and cascading combos
  • Save your high scores for pride and posterity!

This is a classy game that involves keeping objects in the air to put them in the right place on the level. It is a great game for at the office and having some time to play around. It is set in Venice and you put different objects through different spins and turns to get the object in its correct spot to trigger the end of the level. The graphics are basic. The gameplay is simple and easy to learn. A child would have alot of fun with this game. I highly recommend it for anyone ready for a good challenge and a fun time. This is a ideal game for any casual gamer!

Venice is fun action puzzle game from PopCap games. While the graphics are a little subpar and bland, the gameplay is brisk and the ambient music appropriate. Surprisingly, the Steam Overlay is supported which is unusual for PopCap titles. Overall, there is enough gaming goodness here to give Venice a positive recommendation. For any action puzzlers out there, Venice is a good buy.

Venice Deluxe is a nice little game of shooting treasures at moving tiles. That is about as close to the description of the gameplay mechanic as I can get. I have no idea how to describe it any other way. With a bit more than 70 levels, Venice Deluxe does offer a few puzzling constellations challenging to think around the corner, in a manner of speaking. There isn't much more to say. But it definitely is a fun game to play if you are patient enough to get every level down perfectly.

Venice is a puzzle game from casual game company PopCap. While the company is very familiar to many people, this game is not. It's a hidden gem on the PC platform, and it has a harsh difficulty curve. The game centers around Venice, Italy sinking into the waves, and it's up to you, as a random small-ish gondola, to save the treasures of Venice before all is lost. It's a better story than Bejeweled, but not exactly AAA writing. But, for what it needs to do, it sets the game up perfectly. If you've ever played Luxor or Zuma, the game controls essentially like that. Your objective is to match all of the shapes without letting any fall into the water below. This is where the game can and will screw you over multiple times, by placing nearly impossible trick shots that rely on pin-point timing and accuracy. It can get frustrating, but you feel a good sense of accomplishment after completing the level. The music is up to PopCap standards, as it fits the gameplay very well, and adds...

Easy point&shoot game with Venice as loose background. Hit targets above base shooter; difficulty varies but tactics easily learned. No pressure, can stop & restart at will. Good for relaxing & focusing on shooter & target with minimal stress.

All Pop Cap's games are just perfect. Easy to learn, "plug & play" but, with increasing difficulty and clear instructions before every new thing to learn. Intense rythm, you are always clicking the mouse, no time to rest. Original, they can be based on anything else but they do their own way and with outstanding imagination. The right difficulty at the right time, to maintain the interest. Variated play modes. Ridiculous simple controls, usually just the mouse and their two buttons, some times the arrows pad is also neeced but, that's all. Very good music and sound effects.... Well, if you already played Zuma, you know what I mean but, they have other interesting titles and this is one of them. Highly recommeded for casual tmes, when you are in a hurry and want to play just a bit or, for that "in between big games" time. ORIGINAL, AS PEEGLES. HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.

I saw in the news that Venice was flooded and I thought ... don't I have a video game with that same premise? 72 levels later and I feel I have done my part to combat sea-level rise. You're welcome. I like that this game will allow you to reach the end of the "journey" by playing it safe. You can take your time, take only the safest of shots, and forego bonuses if you just want to make it through without replaying. Alternatively, you can also be a hotshot speed player and rack up a great score through your innate understanding of the physics of throwing vases. Skilled players will probably enjoy pursuing a combo-heavy high score and will get more play hours out of the game by replaying. Less skilled players will probably just be happy to reach the end. Before purchasing, I recommend you consider which type of player you are so that you will know whether or not this is going to be worth the five bucks. I am pretty sure I got this game in a bundle at some point, so I also recommend wai...

Not the worst game in Popcap complete pack, but not recommended either. You shoot symbols from the bottom, hoping to hit a hole that matches. If you fail to catch a symbol that didn't meet any hole and gets bounced back, you fail. There are various powerups, but that's about all the diversity. Gets boring soon.

A nice casual shooter that will run on a potato.

It is my favourite game because when you get to the end there is a score chart, whether it is genuine or not I do not know. I have managed to get to the top once. I suppose it gives you something to aim for. I find it very relaxing and keeps my brain and coordination going. I did hear that the scores were not correct why don't they remake it ?
