Hear from the Players – Simple Match 3 Reviews
Find out what gamers are saying about Simple Match 3:
We left an earlier review that was perhaps a bit harsher than we really feel about the game, was having a bad day or something we guess. It is a super cute match 3 game with some really nice features and we play it regularly, going back for random levels after finishing all the standard levels. Love the customizable tokens and the range of cute icons available. It has some nice quality of life features like being able to keep playing a level after you achieve the main goal as long as you have moves left, to get a better score or what have you. The addition of zen mode is really nice too. Also, the haptics on destroying tiles are really satisfying, and the sound effects and music are on point. Our previous review complained about having to tap reward boxes way too many times to claim them. The patch notes from the past couple updates indicate some UI improvements, so maybe this was improved. We don’t have any easy goals to unlock right now to check since today’s daily level is a bit beyond us tonight but in any case it’s kind of a minor thing. The only other complaint we have offhand is that it is possible to soft lock yourself by dropping one of the rainbow tiles that destroys all tiles of a given color behind one of the glass pane obstructions where you can’t move it again, if the glass pane is a level objective. Unlike the other rainbow tiles there is no way to trigger it from another tile to clear it out, it just gets stuck there forever. And the other rainbow tiles don’t clear the glass pane if they don’t destroy an underlying tile. We’re unsure what the correct solution would be but we have had it end a promising run before. We like the game and want it to do well, so we hope our feedback is helpful to prospective players and the developer!
Perfect little match three game. Good visuals and sound, addictive but not predatory.
Simple match 3. No ads, no timer, no stress. One of the most relaxing games we’ve ever played. Only downside we’ve come across is that we need more levels. We blitzed through 300 and need more.
We dont usually like match games like this, but we have found this app to be really enjoyable. Absolutely no ads, calming music and the most adorable icons to collect. We love that there is a zen mode if you dont feel like having a challenge and a daily level to keep things interesting! It can take a minute to get the hang of the obstacles, but the app has hints and helps that explain them if you take the time to look. Cant wait to see more apps from this developer!
We havent dove into many Match 3s, but had the itch to. This game really stood out what REALLY stood out was the Dev responding to feedback. We noticed they are a solo dev, even more props to them. So far Im enjoying our time with this game. The simplistic yet very nice layout, challenge scaling, rewards etc. We dont know how long achievements go for, but it is nice having something to chase other than just beating the levels.
We don’t believe any of these reviews nor do we understand the branding of this game: Simple it is not. It can be challenging in a fun way on occasion but you can also be stuck playing the same level over and over again until the algo "lets you win". The instructions are poorly and vaguely written (and some of them are just wrong) that go along with the 26, yes, 26 "special pieces" that are obstacles in one way or another; how is that simple? Tbh, It feels like a game that was created by people who think they are just "so clever" that they don’t have to edit; they just shove everything they made in it. There is no actual way, for example, to make a three by three "L" shaped rainbow in a match 3 game, hello… So it has to generate randomly but also will keep you from progressing. We’re on level 38 now and played it umpteen different ways for over 30 mins. W/ the same results: just stuck there, which is neither fun or relaxing. If you want a sometimes ridiculous challenge, then this is your game. But if you are looking for an actually simple match 3 game, look elsewhere. Plus you have to pay before you can play so you don’t know what you have gotten into until it’s too late so there’s that too.
Absolutely best match three in the store. One price, no ads and tons of content.
Super fun game, totally worth the purchase. We love all of the customization options. The developer is also super kind and responsive when it comes to bug fixing. We cant wait for more levels to come out!!
The difficulty spikes in later levels make it exceedingly hard to keep playing. Theres too many late level puzzles after 30+ stages that just gets too hard and progression pretty much halts.
We received a developer response but dont see it here. The response said they tried for a balance of difficulty. We understand and appreciate the response. But the description says a relaxed game. We didnt find it relaxing. We find our self saying way too much, we hope we never have to play that level again. Just not our cup of tea. Ill keep looking for a less serious distraction. Sorry we had to change our rating. There is the blue smoke/black bar feature that came up. A lot of match 3 use this. No other app makes the smoke grow at every patch occurrence when one block isnt knocked out. So you have to use all your power ups to try to clear the smoke. You lose one square for every patch, even of you clear one, you have to gain more smoke. Its not fun like this. We are all tired of the match 3 games that have limited play or difficult levels that require watching an ad, paying for power ups, or slogging through onerous story lines that we dont want to see. Sometimes we want an easy distraction and this is perfect. Its an idea that is very welcome.
Love the game! Especially b/c you can manipulate times to make a match. Love having no ads!
We have searched a long time for a good match 3 game that works smoothly, looks great for an adult, and that has a fair premium price with no ads or IAP or all the other junk most games like this have. We had given up. Then we searched one last time and found this one today. All we can say is, developer, you read our mind. This is exactly what we’ve been wanting. THANK YOU for doing it all right and monetizing it so fairly too. We read online that youre thinking about some kind of endless mode, and Id love that option. We typically prefer a random generated time limit high score kind of game over levels. So having that option would be wonderful. We draw to that blitz kind of thing more because its easy to do when you have a short break and not so strategically challenging. Also maybe the app could use a tad battery optimization. Its not horrible, but it maybe could be better. We turned off all effects (which we hate to do), and that does help some. The file size is about as big as Im willing to download for a game. Seems like it could be a bit smaller, but its totally ok as is too. We highly recommend this game and supporting a developer who is doing right by people. Ten stars here. Thank you!
Like the title says, this has become our most played game. Its such a simple concept, but its presented in a relaxing, but thoughtful way. The developer is responsive when you have questions or issues, and it makes the game feel like those old school iOS games (wow we feel silly writing that) before IAPs and incredibly intrusive ads were the norm. Im glad to pay a nominal fee for this game, its certainly worth more than the $1.99 it costs.
This is great, cute and worth the money! Since the latest update our playing time has not advanced in the achievements; the total number of minutes played is stuck. Also on level 280 one of the pieces we need to clear is not spawning. We see that the dev has been super responsive to bug reporting so Im sure this will resolve soon!
Enjoying this game a lot, but we’ve reached level 280 and one of the pieces im supposed to clear doesnt spawn.
We love the customization options and simple design. Also love that theres no IAP either. Super cute game and highly recommend!
Love this game, but very buggy in the higher levels. Currently stuck on 244 and cant continue playing til its fixed.
We were really enjoying the game (simple gameplay and no ads), until we ran into a seemingly insurmountable bug. On level 64 it wants us to clear tiles of three different colors, but one of those colors doesnt spawn on the board at all. We tried restarting the level and force closing and restarting the app, but the bug persists. Either Im missing something simple, or the game is just unplayable for us now. Lots of fun when it works though.
Great game but we’ve encountered a bug on level 231. It says we have to destroy 12 cover piece blocks but there arent any on this level.
We love how relaxing this game is, and when we hit a level that had a bug causing us to not be able to continue, the support was quick to get it fixed!
Really glad we purchased this game. Lots of fun for the low price. Our problem with most match 3 games are the gimmicks, ads, grinding, or pay-to-win that comes with most (if not all) of them. This dev made a super clean, super fun version with none of that. You make your way through boards, winning achievements to unlock different symbol/color tiles you can use as you please. Different obstacles like gaps, blocks, fans and blobs are presented along the way that you have to navigate or destroy. Power ups are available to help when stuck. Really like that you can use a turn to move even if the move doesnt result in a match. We set an original goal to get three stars on a level before moving on, but had to abandon that around level 70 due to seemingly impossible score objectives. We now replay every level until getting at least two stars. We got stuck on level 138 for a couple days, but wasnt the start of an inevitable wall where even the one star targets make boards completely unsolvable. Really solid mobile game. Some small fixes to suggest would be 1) that moving a match into a T shape should result in a power up 2) a few levels said we had a obstacles remaining when the board was clear 3) having left over moves should get you more extra points toward stars and 4) leftover power ups should auto execute after 0 moves left. Currently on level 233. Great mind exerciser and time killer. Great job dev. 10/10 would recommend.
Love how clean and straightforward this is, and that its a straight purchase, no ads or pay to win. A minor feature request – we love the tule sets, but dont really want to manually swap them out. Id love an option to randomly switch between unlocked tile sets on every level so we can see more of the adorable art.
Definitely worth the cost! Great version. (Ive now hit the black squares that spread, and we cant skip them, so we guess we’re done now with it )
Great paid alternative to other match-3 games, especially with the ability to move pieces without matching, allowing you to set up combos without relying on good RNG or paying for moves/power-ups. The sound effects are very satisfying, and the ability to customise the piece designs and the background/button colours is great! Our only complaint is not being able to change the in-game HUD and piece colours from white.
We LOVE this game!!! Well worth the download! Its so fun and Im hooked! Love the intuitive nature of the app. No ads. Relaxing music. Satisfying sound effects. Nice customization options! Very very fun!
This is a match 3 with no ads or subscription, exactly what we’ve been looking for on sleepless nights with a newborn! The color and symbol customization is a lovely feature! The only thing I’d add would be some dark background tiles, or a way to make the existing tiles’ backgrounds dark.
One of the best things about match 3s are the types of rules you get for making a pattern like wrapped candies in candy crush. When you merge 2 of those, they make a even bigger explosion. In this game matching 2 upgrades does nothing. Its kind of disappointing, especially from such a high quality gane.
We think the tiles are adorable and we really appreciate the absence of ads. There are power-ups and rewards, which are fine but we like that they are not intrusive. We wish there was a legend that explained how the rainbow tiles work. Sometimes we move them and nothing happens. We havent quite figured out what makes them work and we’ve wasted lots of moves trying to crack the code. Other than that, we like the music and the overall design.
The games tile mechanics dont always work. The rainbow tiles choose when they want to activate. We just played a game where we swiped to initiate a rainbow tile after matching 5 in a row and wasted 3 turns swiping it and nothing happened. Happens with the other rainbow tiles as well. While change review once addressed.
This is the first match 3 game we have played and we are hooked. Its hard to put it down! We love the customization and the challenging levels as you get further into the game. We also love how there are no ads.
