Match 3 Forest
Spheres on a forest tree: match beyond three to unlock them and earn stronger options.
The board here is a tree rather than a grid, hung with patterned and coloured spheres. Matching them horizontally or vertically removes them, and the shape of the tree means the space you are working in changes as the board empties — which is not true of a rectangle.
Going beyond three is the point. Matches of more than three unlock spheres and hand you stronger options, so a board played entirely in threes never sees half of what the game has. It rewards a player willing to wait a move for the fourth sphere to arrive.
A time-killer mode races the clock for those who want pressure; without it, the tree is a pleasant thing to strip at your own pace.
Controls
Click or tap two neighbouring spheres to swap them.
How to Play
- Look along the tree for spheres of the same pattern and colour.
- Swap neighbours to line them up horizontally or vertically.
- Aim past three — longer matches unlock spheres and grant powerful options.
- Switch to the time-killer mode when you want the clock involved.
Tips & Tricks
Work the trunk before the branches. Clearing the middle of the tree reshuffles the widest part of the board, while a branch cleared early leaves you with awkward isolated spheres and nothing to bring them together.
