Match-3 is the genre that defined casual gaming. Align three or more identical pieces in a row or column to clear them from the board, that's the whole idea, and games like Bejeweled and Candy Crush turned it into one of the most played formats in gaming. Anyone can learn the rule in seconds, but setting up chain reactions and managing a limited move count takes real thought.

A Makermint version of this genre is a 2D browser game built from your description. Ask for a jewel-matching classic, a story-driven puzzle adventure, or a zen endless mode, and Makermint puts together the matching logic, the level progression, and the art for you. It's a single-player game you can play, refine, and share, not a live-service game with built-in social features or in-app purchases.

How it works

  1. Describe your game

    Tell Makermint what kind of match-3 you want. A jewel-matching classic? A story-driven adventure with characters? A zen mode with no pressure? Type it in plain English.

  2. Makermint builds it

    Makermint generates a playable game from your description: tile art, matching logic, combo effects, and level progression. The art is handled for you.

  3. Play and iterate

    Try the game as soon as it's ready. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add a 4-match power-up" or "add a move counter", and play the next version right away.

  4. Publish and share

    When you're happy with it, publish your game to get a share link, or post it to the Makermint community where others can play and remix it.
