Match3 game (devlog)

Hi everyone!
I’m starting a devlog for my simple game project.
We are currently at version 0.0.14, and there’s still a lot of work ahead to add all the bonuses players expect from a match-3 game. However, the core gameplay mechanics are already in place and ready to be tested.

On mobile devices, you can double-tap the screen to toggle full-screen mode.

For now, the game design and balance are still missing, :grin: but I should be able to make this addictive little game actually interesting over the summer 2026.

Match3 Game

A 3D match-3 puzzle game where you swap diamonds to create matches of 3 or more identical gems.
