Evermatch
Evermatch - Play Online
If you've ever burned hours on Candy Crush or Gardenscapes, you already know what you're getting into. Evermatch is a classic match-3 puzzle game where you swap colorful gems to clear objectives, rack up points, and unlock new landmarks around the world. It's pure, addictive puzzle satisfaction—the kind that makes you say "just one more level" at 2 AM. Swap, match, and blast your way through hundreds of levels while collecting postcards from fantasy versions of real countries.
Key Features
- Hundreds of Levels: Over a hundred castle-themed stages with new ones added regularly, plus progression through different countries.
- Five Game Modes: The core match-3 gets remixed across five distinct level types to keep things fresh.
- Special Power-Ups: Create lightning bolts, bombs, rainbow flowers, and mega-blasts by matching 4, 5, or 6 gems in different patterns.
- World Collection Meta-Game: Unlock photo cards of beautiful landmarks and countries as you progress through levels.
How to Play Evermatch
Getting started is dead simple—matching gems takes seconds to learn but dozens of levels to truly master.
Swapping and Matching Gems
You click or tap to swap two adjacent gems, trying to line up three or more of the same color. When you make a match, those gems explode off the board, new ones drop down, and you inch closer to your goal. Each level gives you a limited number of moves, so every swap counts. The board layouts get irregular and obstacles like wooden crates block your path as you advance.
Creating and Combining Power-Ups
This is where strategy kicks in. Match four gems in a row to create a lightning bolt that clears an entire line. Form an L or T shape with five gems to get a bomb that explodes everything around it. Line up five in a straight row for a rainbow gem that nukes every gem of one color. Match six and you get a super-lightning that clears both a row AND column. The real fun starts when you combine two special gems together—the effects stack and can clear half the board in one satisfying explosion.
Beating Level Objectives Within Move Limits
Each level has specific goals: collect 20 blue gems, clear all the wooden boxes, drop special items to the bottom of the board. You've got to hit those targets before you run out of moves. When things get tight, you can use pre-level boosters like extra bombs or buy extra moves with coins. Miss the goal and you lose a life—standard mobile puzzle stuff. Beat it and you earn stars, coins, and progress on your world map.
Who is Evermatch for?
Perfect for casual puzzle fans who want something familiar and relaxing. If you've got 5-10 minutes on your lunch break or you're waiting for an appointment, this fits the bill. It's also great for kids—colorful, non-violent, and easy to understand. The difficulty curve is gentle at first but ramps up hard around level 30, so patience helps. If you hate free-to-play monetization tactics (limited lives, move purchases), you might find the later levels frustrating without spending coins or waiting for energy refills.
The Gameplay Vibe
It's chill and meditative until it's suddenly not. Early levels let you zone out and make satisfying cascades while collecting gems. The sound effects are punchy—lots of twinkling chimes and explosion pops. But once you hit the difficulty spikes, you'll be staring at the board for a full minute planning your next three moves like it's chess. Visually, it's bright and clean with that standard mobile polish: flat gradients, particle sparkles, and smooth gem-dropping animations. Nothing groundbreaking, but it gets the job dopamine flowing when you trigger a big chain reaction. The fantasy theme is mostly just window dressing—you're not really "exploring" countries, just unlocking static postcards between level clusters.
Technical Check: Saves & Performance
The game auto-saves your progress in your browser's local storage, so you can close the tab and pick up right where you left off—just don't clear your browser cache or you'll lose everything. Performance-wise, this runs smooth as butter on pretty much anything. It's a Unity-based 2D game with simple sprite animations, so even older phones and budget laptops handle it without breaking a sweat. I didn't experience any lag or stuttering, even when the screen was full of exploding gems and particle effects.
