PushPlush

PushPlush moves whole lines instead of single pieces. Drag one of its fluffy creatures and its entire row or column slides with it; let go, and any three or more creatures of the same colour that line up are matched.

There is more here than one board. The developer lists 50 levels, a picture puzzle mode in which you slide rows and columns to recreate a target image, and an endless Zen mode for playing without that structure. Along the way you can create bombs, free fluffies that are trapped, and meet giant characters that take up a two-by-two block of the grid.

The sliding rule is the thing to get used to. Moving a row shifts every creature in it, not only the one you grabbed, so look along the whole line before letting go. The frame is portrait, 760 by 1040, and it is played with a mouse or a finger.

Drag a fluffy with the mouse or your finger, and its whole row or column slides along with it. Release, and three or more creatures of the same colour in a line are matched. In the picture puzzle mode, slide rows and columns until the board matches the target picture. Zen mode is endless, with no set level to finish.

Before letting go, check the whole row or column you are moving, since every creature in it shifts. Bombs, trapped fluffies and the giant two-by-two characters are all part of the levels, so expect them to appear. Zen mode has no end, which makes it a place to get used to sliding before the levels.

A row-sliding match-3 in a portrait frame (760 by 1040), with mouse or touch. Modes: 50 levels, picture puzzles and an endless Zen mode. Features include bombs, trapped fluffies and two-by-two giant characters.

Swipe and Clear also moves blocks across the grid instead of swapping neighbours, and Jewel Christmas is another pick with several game modes, five in its case.
