Match 3 RPG

Match 3 RPG gives you a hero and a level full of monsters. The aim of each level is to help the hero attack every monster in it, and the tool you have is a board of items to match. Three items of the same type in a horizontal or vertical line make a match.

The board is kept small in variety: there are five different item types. Alongside them sit four boosts, which the developer spells 'boots', and which you buy with coins in the game. The developer promises many levels without giving a number.

Input is simple. You use the left mouse button to make matches, and no touch controls are mentioned. The game is shown in a small portrait frame, 400 by 600. Beyond the hero, the monsters and the coin shop, the developer gives little detail, so the specifics of how fights play out are left for you to find.

Use the left mouse button to make matches. Three items of the same type in a horizontal or vertical line count as a match. Help the hero attack every monster on the level to clear it. Coins in the game can be spent on four boosts when a level needs extra help. Clear one level and the next is waiting.

The four boosts cost coins, so spend them where they matter, on a level you are struggling with rather than one going well. Matches count vertically as well as horizontally, so check columns as carefully as rows. With five item types, learn to tell them apart quickly.
