Matching Go! - Puzzle Games

A match-3 puzzle game built around a world tour

Matching Go! follows Chloe and her corgi, Ollie, as they travel to different destinations. The core game is match-3: you swap and line up colored objects on a board to clear them. The developer lists the levels as suited to a range of skill levels, from easy to harder ones, so the same game covers casual play and more demanding puzzling.

Each stop on the trip is a themed map. The progress you make through the levels is what moves the story along from one place to the next.

Combos, power-ups and match animations

Matching three or more objects in one move can set off combos and power-ups, which clear more of the board at once. The developer describes the matches as animated, with effects meant to make each clear feel more satisfying to watch.

Most of the play is in these matches, so the combos and power-ups are the tools you will use to get through harder levels.

Building landmarks in cities and fantasy realms

The maps include real cities such as New York, London and Paris, along with fantasy settings like Christmas Village and Fairyland. Each map is drawn in bright colors with its own designs.

As you pass levels, you gather mallets. The developer says these are used to build landmarks in each location, so the progress you make is visible in the places you have visited.

Daily bonuses, events and streak boosters

The game offers daily bonuses that you can collect each day, and timed events where you can win prizes. Winning streak boosters are listed as a way to speed up progress when you are matching well in a row.

These rewards sit alongside the levels, so you can come back for a daily bonus without starting a new puzzle.

Competing on the leaderboard

A leaderboard ranks players against each other, and the developer says you can challenge other players on it. Climbing the ranks is the competitive side of the game, on top of the solo progress through the cities.
