Key takeaways
Describe a theme and mechanics, and get a playable 2D swap puzzle in a few minutes.
Makermint handles the tile art and combos, so you never design them yourself.
There's no built-in leaderboard; the game tracks your own score and progress.
Swap puzzles are a casual gaming staple. You swap two adjacent tiles to line up three or more of a kind, and simple swaps can chain into satisfying cascades. Candy Crush Saga made the formula famous, and it's since spread into countless themes and spin-offs.
A Makermint version of this genre is a 2D browser game built from your description. Ask for a themed match grid, a set of power-ups, or a level goal, and Makermint puts the tile art, match logic, and progression together for you, ready in a few minutes.
How it works
Describe your game
Tell Makermint what kind of swap puzzle you want. A candy-themed match grid? A gem-swapping adventure? A spooky Halloween puzzle? Type it in plain English.
Makermint builds it
Makermint generates a playable game from your description: tile art, match logic, combos, and level goals. The visuals are handled for you.
Play and iterate
Try the game as soon as it's ready. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add a new tile type" or "add a star rating", and play the next version right away.
