Match 3 games

Match-3 is a broad label, and this shelf leans on all of it. Four mechanics live under the same heading and they play nothing alike.

Bubble shooters are the aiming ones. Bubble Shooter Aura carries a level mode on a strict shot budget and an endless mode that presses down on you, which are almost two separate games.

Tile linkers care about path shape rather than aim. Jewel Link permits three bends between a matching pair, Happy Fruit Link only two, and that single difference changes how you read a crowded board.

Mahjong sits in the middle, with Grand Mahjong Connect adding a collection bar that ends the level the moment it fills.

Merge games are the fourth kind. Merge Fruit drops physical objects into a jar and hands the rest to gravity. Pick a linker for quiet play, a bubble title for a scoreboard.
