Vega Mix 2: Mystery of Island is a match-3 adventure game with exploration and rescue themes. An adventurer, Alex, goes missing on a tropical island after he triggers a trap in an ancient temple. His wife, Alice, and her friend, Vicky, decide to search for him.
The player must win match-3 minigames to earn enough in-game currency to unlock areas of the story and help the women find Alex. Each match-3 game features items commonly found in vegetable gardens, such as broccoli crowns, corn cobs, whole tomatoes, water droplets and gardening tools. The player completes missions, such as collecting a specific number of certain types of items, by rearranging pieces to create lines of three or more identical objects.
The quest portion of the game tasks the player with helping the women perform actions on the island, such as opening a backpack, building a hut, visiting a village and saving local wildlife. With every match-3 game, the player earns coins and stars. They use the latter to unlock each step of the adventure.
Vega Mix 2 provides the player with many helpful boosters, including rockets, bombs, fidget spinners and rainbow pinwheel flowers. These tools rapidly remove rows, columns, sections and random items from boards. The player creates boosters by matching four or more objects. They also receive boosters, along with gold coins and infinite lives, in daily bonus and palm tree gifts.
