Match 3
A simple and minimalistic Match 3 game in development.
Basic game mechanic works - most of the time :) All levels are generated procedurally with a deterministic pseudo random number generator. So when you re-play a level with the exact same settings and moves you get the same results, over and over again.
I want to create a "clean art" / minimalistic and smooth Match 3 game without overloading effects and such. Also I'm learning some basic art skills on the way. Graphics are done by myself. As a typical technical software engineer it's not an easy task for me, but trying my best.
When all mechanics are implemented, the game will be released for iOS and Android.
Features
- Procedural level generation
- Bombs when matching 4 or more pieces (row, column, area T or L shapes)
- Simple stage system (10 levels per stage)
In Planing
- Color Bomb
- Tile blocker
- More goals
- More limits
- Enhance graphics
- Booster / Powers (destroy a block, destroy specific color on screen)
- Endurance / Life system (loosing hearts when loosing a game)
- Rewards (finishing a stage)
- ... more

Hey! I really enjoyed this match-3 game.
It just got me through a really bad anxiety-attack.
The mechanics are simple and easy to understand. I found the little bloops really grounding. I also really like the alternating scoring system and timing system, it keeps things pretty fresh!
I can see myself coming back to this again and again when I'm in a tough spot.
Thank you for making this.
Hey Photo-fied,
thanks for sharing your personal story. I'm really happy that you found some joy and relief while playing my game. And another thank you for being so kind with your feedback.
the color contrast is really bad.
Thanks a lot :)
I like your animations! Really clean and simple.
Thanks :) That was one of my primary goals to have clean and snappy animations.
Clean and nice 3 match game! I think implementing unique shape of grid instead of just square grid would be good dimension to add in your 3 match game.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry for my late reply. That’s a great suggestion!
