Colossatron: Massive World Threat, Halfbrick's monstrous take on the match-three genre, will go live on the App Store at midnight tonight.

Match-three games are big business nowadays, with the like of Candy Crush Saga reaping millions of dollars on a monthly basis. However, Australian developer Halfbrick has approached the genre from a drastically different - and rather ingenious - angle.

You have to monitor the progress of a giant snake-like robot which comes crashing down to earth with the intention of destroying everything in its path.

Your specific job is to bolt coloured modules onto the body of the snake as and when they appear. Snap on three matching modules in a row, and your super snake will gain a brand new weapon, allowing it to destroy objectives quicker.

You can watch me getting to grips with Colossatron: Massive World Threat in the hands-on video above.
