Cascade
Also known as Match Three and Match 3
Drop blocks into columns and line up three of a colour to clear them. What sat above falls into the gap, and a fall that completes another line clears too — so a well-set board pays off in chains. A new row pushes up from the floor on a timer, and every clear brings the next one sooner.
How it works
- Tap a column to drop the waiting block into it.
- Three of a colour in a row or column clears them, and whatever sat above falls into the gap.
- A fall that completes another line clears too, so a well-set board pays off in chains.
- A new row pushes up from the floor on a timer, and every clear brings the next one sooner.
- Your score is the blocks cleared. Fill the board with nowhere left to place and the round ends.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- Setting up a chain and watching it go
- Pressure that builds rather than a fixed clock
- A puzzle game with a score attached
