About Monster Match
Match Three is a puzzle game where you defeat a monster on each level by matching identical shapes on the board. When you match 3 or more shapes in a row or a column, they disappear and you earn points. Bigger matches score more, and special pieces can clear extra shapes for huge point gains. It’s easy to understand for most ages, but the move limit makes each level a tactical challenge.
How to Play
- Goal of each level: Earn enough points to kill the monster and advance to the next level.
- Make matches: Swap or move shapes to create a match of 3 or more identical shapes in a row or column.
- Scoring rules:
- Matching shapes makes them disappear and gives you points.
- A match of 4 or 5 gives more points than a match of 3.
- Move limit: Each level has a limited number of moves (ходів). To win, you must reach the required points without exceeding the move limit.
- Special shape — Grenade:
- If you match grenades, they eliminate neighbouring shapes as well.
- Grenade matches give the highest points, so they’re the best way to finish levels efficiently.
- Frozen shapes (monster ability):
- Sometimes the monster can freeze certain shapes.
- Frozen shapes cannot be moved, so you need to plan matches around them.
