Tile Craft - Triple Crush

I have played a lot of these 3 match style games. The most recent before this one was Zen Match, and after level 811, and a decent amount of money spent for the power ups, I realized that a lot of those levels were, what felt like, designed to prevent you from winning unless you spent money on gold. So then I found Tile Match, and I can safely say, after 2011 levels, it’s pretty great. The levels are challenging, but if you have to reset a level, all the tiles seem pretty random. So if you have a mix that you can’t win with, you’re guaranteed to not have the exact same tile placement, therefore making the level beatable, without spending money. I can’t confirm this, but I feel like after 3-4 reshuffles, the level shuffles in more of the same tiles, making the level a little easier. Over all, great game, I don’t know what I’ll do when I complete all almost 3000 levels.

This game can actually be challenging, it’s good for mind thinking analyzing moves to set up for next matches. Things I don’t like are; the long adds, and games stacked with no way to make matches, then you have to start over cause you failed the level several times! So having a game with no way to make 3 matches required, doesn’t make sense at all! I’m really good with puzzles but this is a bit much. Free draws can be obtained once reaching a certain numbers of matches I believe? Three of those free options are return tile drawn, pull a tile to complete a 3 match, and shuffle tiles with hopes of better tile choices. Improvement is needed and I’ll probably find a different game! It is addictive. Update: after playing this addictive game I can’t let go of, having several restarts within the top two tile layers as there is no possibility of 3 matches, I’ve started over & over many times and got freebies to reach over 200 level. With each restart the tile choices becomes easier to win. Otherwise the clinching is to pay for the 3 actions getting multiple tries and not having to restart games watching minute long adds.

Honest to god hate three-in-a-row matching games like candy crush, but Tile Craft blows it out of the park. I normally play with wifi off, but even in the cases when I have it turned on, the ads are incredibly unintrusive and are all skippable. This is such a hard quality to come across nowadays, and I really hope they don’t change this. The game is incredibly addicting and fun, and somehow the harder levels aren’t frustrating or rage-inducing at all, rather, they just always seem like just the right amount of difficulty, the level clear dangled in front of you so that even if you get stuck on a level you never feel frustration but just. A desire to keep playing and clearing levels. All of the powerups are incredibly useful and there isn’t a stupid useless igc system, the backdrops are fairly well made, (though I prefer the simpler ones) not very fun to ‘collect’ per se, but really the game makes up for this and it’s not a problem. The game mechanics are also incredibly simple and easy to learn but there’s also a bit of a luck aspect. Honestly, this game is the best one I’ve played in a long time. It captures the essence of what a mobile game is, it’s not a cash grab or a game that makes you think ‘this would be better on pc’, no, this game is the perfect example of a mobile game. TL;DR: download this game. It’s great.
