Tropical Match 2

Tropical Match 2 brings Coco back and gives the board something the first game lacked: obstacles with character. Algae and clouds sit over the grid and have to be cleared away, which turns a plain collection goal into a question of where to start.

That is the meaningful difference between the two islands. The original is a pleasant collection board; this one asks you to uncover the board before you can work it. Across 1,250 levels the added step is what keeps the middle chapters from blurring together.

The presentation is unchanged and that is fine — the scenery and the island tunes were the first game’s strength. Daily missions and tropical treasures fill in the reward schedule. Start here rather than with the original if you want the version with more to think about.

1. Trade two touching pieces to line up three or more.
2. Clear algae and clouds to open the part of the grid you need.
3. Finish the level goal within the moves allowed.
4. Complete daily missions for tropical treasures.

Obstacles clear when a match happens next to them, not on top of them. Line your three alongside the algae rather than trying to include it.
