Match 3 games
Match 3 games are a type of puzzle game in which the player attempts to match three or more identical game pieces (also called "tiles") by swapping them with each other. The goal is usually to create a horizontal or vertical line of three or more matching tiles, which will then disappear and cause the tiles above them to fall down, potentially creating new matching sets. The game continues until the player runs out of moves or until the game board is cleared of all tiles.
Some common variations of the match 3 game include:
- Time-limited play: In these games, the player is given a set amount of time to make as many matches as possible.
- Timed releases: In these games, new rows of tiles are added to the game board at regular intervals, giving the player less and less time to make matches.
- Special tiles: Some match 3 games include special tiles that have special abilities, such as the ability to clear a row or column of tiles, or the ability to destroy all tiles of a certain color.
- Multiple game modes: Some match 3 games offer multiple game modes, such as a "relaxed" mode with no time limit, or a "challenge" mode with more difficult puzzles.
Match 3 games are popular on mobile devices and computers, and can be found in many app stores and online game portals.
