General bug fixes and improvements. Thank you for playing Match 3D!
Match 3D is a highly addictive puzzle game that takes the classic hidden object and pairing formula into a physics-based 3D space. The premise is simple: you are presented with a pile of various 3D objects—toys, fruit, animals, emojis—and you must find and drag matching pairs into a central circle to clear them. The physics engine makes the pile feel 'real,' as objects tumble and shift when you dig through them.
What sets this apart is its effectiveness as a brain trainer. It really forces you to focus on small details and improves visual memory under time pressure. The visual effects are polished, with satisfying 'pops' when matches are made. While the levels can get quite hectic as the number of items increases, the addition of a pause button is a thoughtful touch for mobile users. It’s a perfect 'waiting in line' game that is both relaxing and mentally stimulating.
Shiny 3D visual effects and objects
Well-designed brain trainer levels
Pause and auto-save functionality
Thousands of cute items to match
Start with the largest or most brightly colored objects first. This clears the visual clutter, making it easier to spot smaller items hidden at the bottom.
Try to memorize the location of objects as you move them aside. Using two fingers to grab and drag can significantly speed up your matching rate.
You match items in pairs (2 at a time) by dragging them into the designated circle at the bottom of the screen.
Would be nice to have options of different music to turn on or off. And different items to pick from for matching like categories of things to change it up a little. Had new items after I sent above review. I’m all through those and ready for more!!! Keep them coming! Thanks Thanks for new item packs! Loving this game more and more. Maybe give people options to shut timer off and maybe zen music! Full bodied animals or little people play pieces would be fun too. Thanks! So I see it is adding lives or hearts on a countdown. I hope that you don’t make the game unplayable if you end up using all the hearts up. I think a lot of people would stop playing if they had to wait for more lives. I like the added time bonus but still would like to win some time freezes again instead of just the added time. If they keep making groups or changes I hope they don’t mess with the simple option of just playing. Still wishing there was an option for an untimed choice since it’s very relaxing. I’m in the levels of 4000 and it’s still my go to game! Please make an untimed option. Thanks for all the item packs!!!!
This game was instantaneously one of my favorites, but the more I play, the more frustrated and irritable I become... 1. There’s WAY WAY too many ads. This developer KNOWS that his idea will attract the attention of many, and the fact that the developer put ads every 2 minutes DURING the game and one after or when you pause... it’s absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!! This developer is greedy and he KNOWS the players will continue playing because of how challenging and fun it is. So what does the developer do? He makes it cost $6 or $7 JUST to remove ads DURING the game, not after (I have not bought no ads, but another reviewer said they did and all it did was take away ads during the game, not before or after the game. This is RIDICULOUS and the game is RIGGED to get you to pay. 2. Lives take 30 minutes to refresh and you can only have 5 at a time... and with the increasingly difficult levels, it just isn’t possible to keep going. It would be nice if that number was bumped up to 10 but it is what it is... 3. Another reviewer pointed out the 30 minutes of infinite lives is automatically started and with no choice of when to start it, which, if you weren’t able to play the game during that time you couldn’t use the infinite lives. Overview: Addicting game, UNACCEPTABLE amount of ads (to the point it should be illegal imo), RIGGED to get you to pay, and ads aren’t even completely removable (I think).
This game has amazing graphics and physics that is fun to play with and watch. However there is a price to pay that seems to get greater with time. You have to pay for things even after you earn them. You think that you are earning coins by playing and passing goals and filling your piggy bank, but when your piggy bank is full and you would like to uses some of your earned coins, you find you have to buy the coins you earned!!! And once full, any coins you earn after that just bounce off and you lose them. The game does not save the place you were at if you leave the app, so you can continue where you left it. You have to start from the beginning of the level you were at every time you start the app again. The ads you have to watch last some times 30 seconds. Some are two part ads, where you watch one and have to pick “Next” and then you have to watch the same ad over again. Not good for the advertiser, if the potential customer doesn't respond to an ad, why should you show the same ad again instead of another ad to get a response?!? Some ads only show how you lose the game, not showing what would happen when you become good at it. I got to level 36, but finally got fed up with the ads and limitations. I contacted the developers with questions and suggestions and never got a response.
I started playing it daily over a year ago and am playing it much less now. I’m at level 2200+. I probably should’ve quit a thousand levels ago. Way too many ads. Too frequent as well, every 2 minutes. The ads are super-long. You’ll have to watch an ad stream about 30 seconds, then when you close it, you find another countdown timer of about 15 seconds, then another one for another 10 seconds. All during supposedly “one” ad break. And of course there’s an ad before the start of every level and then after you complete each level. It also locks up and goes black after some ads and you lose whatever progress you made for that level. Also, it’s really annoying when you’re playing a level with a lot of items, they don’t stay in the “container” unless you take the time to be careful and drop them in. Otherwise, they bounce around in and out of the container and you have to grab them again and waste time. And finally, the most frustrating thing is most level timers will only give you 1 minute, 15 seconds when it’s clearly obviously you’re not going to finish in time, right from the get-go. So overall, if you’re patient and don’t care about wasting time and effort - then this game is okay.
I have never seen a game try so hard to make money. It is a timed, race against the clock game, but ads popping up in the middle disrupts your concentration and throws off your momentum. Especially since some ads can drag on for a full minute. To make matters worse, after a few levels you reach levels that are impossible to complete without boosters. You can get boosters for free, but to pass some levels it would take days of playing and losing the same level over and over to get enough free boosters to win the level. The only alternative is to pay for boosters. I know app developers don’t work for free and they need to make money by selling the app, in-app purchases, and/or ad time. I have paid for other apps, boosters, extra lives, etc., and have patiently watched ads between levels in other games. It’s the price of entertainment. But in other game apps, you can enjoy the game for free just by sitting thru the ads because the ads pay the bills. This game tries to force you to buy things despite selling ridiculous amounts of ad time. The number of ads and their placement in the middle of games made me not want to pay for anything in this app from the beginning, and after seeing how they make it nearly impossible to enjoy the game without buying things I have decided to stop playing altogether. It is a shame too because it is a fun game.
I would give this game more stars, but it “steals” game play and my “timers” and “magnets” away from me by quitting in the middle of gameplay, not just for ads. It just stops and reverts back to my home screen. When I return to the game, it starts over, and I have to “pay” another “magnet” and “timer” to play again! It has also prevented me from achieving the 30 level challenge. It has occurred numerous times and does not set well with me at all. Sometimes the “pairs” get caught up in the “dumpster” for a few seconds not allowing gameplay to continue. I have to just walk away to settle my temper down and return later. This makes me want to delete the game altogether which I am on the verge of doing. I have done this before with other games with glitches so I have no problem doing it with this one. Edit: Continuing to have problems with game freeze and especially ads which crash the game. Also, often when I am offered a “2X (or more) whatever I have won, the “green claim button” just “spins” or buffers continuously until I just hit the black “Claim button”. The game also freezes during game play not allowing me to move objects, and when it starts back, it has taken away a lot of my time as though the timer kept counting. Y’all really need to do some work on this. For all these reasons, I came back and took away another star! Update: Continues to freeze up in the middle of gameplay, stops and reverts to home page, and “steals” timers and “magnets”. Now is not giving me MatchPlay items earned. What is going on with this game? Taking away another star! 😡
ok so first off, this game is pretty good. nice graphics, pretty objects and lots of things to mess with. but there are some things that are just unnecessary, like the timer because, im a slow worker and i don’t notice things as fast as other people. the timer makes me stress even more then i already am, since this game is a go to when im stressed. i just think it’s unnecessary since it’s never shown in the ads and make things inconvenient. the second thing is that, me personally, i have lots of trouble see numbers or letters and i often stutter or have trouble speaking in my head. maybe there should be a toggle button to make it just objects and no numbers or letters, or maybe the other way around? idk just something that sounds convenient. eh, otherwise it’s a cool game, i like it, only on level 4 because of how much i lose. (DUe To ThE TimEr GUfgjgv) but it’s a good game. approved 🍌. EDIT: stress level are sky high when im playing this…this review has been here awhile, and i haven’t seen ANY fixes..im debating whether to delete this app or not. my mental heath is getting worse and worse because i haven’t been able to calm down from..well, the world. pls fix these things. i beg.🍌
* Update: I absolutely HATE the verbal ads that just suddenly start playing. You cannot see the ads like before where it was ever so convenient to “accidentally” click on the ad while playing the game. Now they just start randomly playing. I instantly lose interest and close out the game. This needs to stop. Feels very sneaky and not transparent to users at all. It seems like the more items that there are per game the slower the game is to correspond with when I touch a piece to move it. Sometimes it won’t recognize me trying to move a piece at all, especially if the pieces are on the very outside perimeter. As the levels get harder (I am on 435) the game pieces are also less likely to be swiped to the pairing platform at the bottom and then I have to look for them again to figure out where they bounced away too. The game can often be sluggish and slow to respond in general. And because I don’t believe in paying to have “no ads”, for the love of God, stop making every single ad the Royal Match of the slot machine with “real” money to be won. Seriously, the guy shows his phone screen and it is in 3G. Sounds current! And has ANYONE EVER won the 1000 coins in the wheel spin? Statistically I should have won the 1000 coins several times over when there are 8 or so things you can win. Of the hundreds of times I have spun the wheel I have never ever won the 1000 Coins. Seems pretty rigged to me rather than a spin of chance. So while I do like this game, the glitches become worse, and let’s face it, if you want 1000 coins, they force you to buy them. You will NEVER win them. I will keep playing til I finally get fed up.
