Candivore, the company behind Match Masters, is an Israeli enterprise that skillfully combines traditional slide puzzle and real-time player-versus-player strategy game's mechanics into its own particular production. There is also a layer of electronic social networking.
Match Masters is the familiar gameplay of Candy Crush Saga at its core. Players take it in turns to swap adjacent tiles on the board that they share in common in order to make matches of three or more identical symbols. The object of the game is to complete this task before your opponent can do so. One round may well be spent in winning a certain number of things; the next defeat mini-bosses; another break through ice barriers. Regardless, then, is Match Master's uniqueness in that it combines a number of different kinds of games all in one.
Its defining feature is the Booster system. Each player selects a unique Booster beforehand. These are special power-ups which charge as you make matches. Once triggered, their effects are felt by both players on the common board. For instance, one might entirely shuffle the board, while another adds layers of paint to obstruct the opponent or gives you extra moves at their expense. The result is a suspense-filled psychological game. Not only do you have to plan your own play, but also you need to foresee your opponent’s Booster strategy and decide when to use your own for maximum disruption or simply to counter their plans.
Matches are short, usually no more than one to three minutes long, making the game perfect for playing when you have only a few minutes to spare. The competitive structure revolves around leagues and tournaments. Players advance through different arenas (such as the Rookie Arena or Champions Arena) by winning matches and gaining trophies. Regular tournaments bring fresh boards and special prizes. The game also has live events and cooperative modes where players can team up in "Studio Battles" to win rewards together.
The social element runs deep. Players can connect via Facebook, directly challenge friends, send or receive lives as gifts, and talk in team chat rooms. Emotes and stickers provide an extra layer of (sometimes jokey, sometimes mocking) communication during games. The mechanics of play against payment are free-to-play, with in-app purchases for premium currency such as coins and gems. These are used to enter tournaments, buy boosters or mock items like stickers or player profile frames. Even though skilled play will earn rewards, the game is intended for everyone - with tips galore and regular free gifts.
In conclusion, Match Masters’ re-envisioned match-3 and made it fresh. It swaps passive puzzles for exciting real-time competition, in which strategic use of Boosters, quick thinking, and a little psychological play all make the difference. Its fast-paced matches, social function, and nonstop events have given it a prominent place in the row of competitive one-to-three-minute puzzle games now available to players. Whether you are students who are tired of studying, or workers who just come back home from busy work and want to have a rest, this game is suitable.
