Match 3 games are a huge favorite of mine, and I tend to play them the most. Here is a list of my current top five favorite match 3 games. I will explain what I like about each game and why it is a favorite of mine.
Angry Birds POP!
Angry Birds POP! is a free game with microtransactions. While I am not a fan of the original Angry Birds games I tend to love the other games. Angry Birds POP! is not a traditional match 3 game in that you shoot and pop bubbles in groups of three. I have played several bubble shooter games and this is the one I kept playing and stuck with. The game has fun and colorful graphics and decent music. I love how fun and expressive the music in this game is.
Best Fiends
Best Fiends is a free game with microtransactions. You beat levels by linking together pieces of the same color. You collect and power up fiends. These are critters you unlock and use to beat stages. The music is great, and I love to listen to it. The fiends are cute, and it is fun to see their expressions. The game also frequently has events. These allow you to get what you need to power up your fiends faster. Best Friends is a game with a fun theme and enjoyable gameplay.
Cookie Cats
Cookie Cats is a free game with microtransactions. Cookie Cats is a huge favorite of mine. You match cookies by making chains of the same color. The game is very expressive and fun to look at! I spend time browsing and looking at future levels. The game also has fun events to participate in. After getting to a certain level, you can participate in group challenges.
The music in Cookie Cats is superb. The game has the best music out of any Android game I have played recently. I love instrumental and Jazz music. Also, the cats sing a short song every time you beat a level. It is fun to hear the themes they sing. They also sing a new theme every update!
Match Land
Match Land is a free game with microtransactions. You collect characters and power them up to beat harder stages. As you beat stages, you collect ingredients to open stores. These stores are your main source of gold. Gold is used to upgrade units and buy other things.
I am very much enjoying this game. The game is fun to play and working towards getting stronger units is also fun. If you like match three games, this is one I would recommend. It has a little more strategy than your typical match three game and I like that.
Puzzle and Dragons
Puzzle and Dragons is a free game with microtransactions. The game has so much depth and is easy to learn. The goal of the game to manipulate orbs to make matches of three. You try to make as many matches as you can before you run out of time.
Collecting and finding new monsters is a huge part of the game. As you play levels, you find eggs that hatch into new monsters you can use on teams. You level these monsters up by feeding them other monsters as experience. You can evolve some of them to make them stronger. You will need to find stronger monsters to keep up with the games increasing difficulty.
I do not play it as much as I used to but for a time the game never got old. I wanted to learn to make more combos, make stronger teams, and beat harder stages. There is so much to learn about this game. If you want a match three game with more depth and strategy, I recommend Puzzle and Dragons.
