ABC Cubes: Teddy's Playground is a toys-come-alive themed puzzle game featuring "Same Game" mechanics.

You play as teddy bear Teddy, and your objective is to clean up every room in your owners' house, since they're coming back from vacation and you've been playing a lot and having made everything a mess.

Two game modes exist:

In Adventure Mode you must clear all cubes in the play area. Do this by clicking on two or more adjacent like-lettered cubes and plan your moves so that like-cubes stack near each other. If you can?t clear all cubes and have no more moves left, restart and try again. If you clear the play area, you?re scored depending on how many moves you made, the time you spent playing and the number of combos you performed. And of course, it's on to the next level.There are also solid plain cubes which cannot be matched and the only way to clear them is to take care of all the cubes beneath and have them touch the bottom of the play area. Power-ups that can help you clear cubes faster exist as well, and each level of the game presents a different kind of power-up, through the introduction of several friends of Teddy's who decide to help out.

In Arcade mode, you also get to use all of the power-ups available in Adventure mode. However, gameplay now employs classic match-3 mechanics, making you swap cubes to clear them from the play area. The objective here is to make your computer opponent fall flat on the floor, releasing its balloons one after the other. You release an opponent's balloon each time the combo meter fills up. Conversely, a timer goes down at the same time, releasing your balloons throughout, and causing your downfall too if you're not fast enough.

There is also a free, online, browser-based version of this game where the mechanics are the same, but featuring only a selection of levels from the full version accompanied by a single in-game music theme. [source:mobygames]
