Match Masters is an intense and very competitive match 3 puzzle game, being a unique multiplayer experience. Unlike classic games, you're not playing against yourself; you're challenging another player in real time taking turns. After your move, one of a number of special power-up boosters that you've chosen before the match starts. These boosters have a variety of effects and can be employed to mess up your opponents opening plans, or bolster your own position - every move is a genuine tactical battle. Its fast and furious, face-to-face play is a global phenomenon for game fans in search of both a social and competitive fix.

The gameplay at Match Masters core follows the conventional match-3 format: swap adjacent tiles to create lines of three or more matching gems, rack up points and produce special effects. The catch, though, is its friendly multiplayer. Each series is between two players on one board. After every play, the board resets itself to an extent, adding new tiles and obstacles that force both players to refresh their strategies. The goal is to out score your opponent before the timer runs out or trap them into a no-win situation by saturating the board with your tiles.

Navigating the busy space of mobile puzzle games, Match Masters combines intelligence-testing match-3 mechanics with real-time multiplayer battles for a highly addictive experience that's tactical — and social. Instead of the typical match-3 objective, where you're competing against the clock or a move limit, Match Masters puts you head to head with friends or random players in pulse-pounding matches that transform every level into a feverish battle of sharp wits and quick reflexes. With intense competition, explosive action and rich colorful visuals—everything that was loved about the original game—you’ve never seen match quite like this!

What keeps battles interesting, however, are power-ups that you can earn by executing bigger matches (L-shaped or 4-in-a-row combos). Those include howitzer bombs that can clear large sections to “freeze” moves that temporarily lock in your opponent’s next move. Timing is everything, wait until your opponent's about to trigger a thunderclap gem or choose where in their chain to use a rainbow gem.

Match Masters is a bright and cartoony looking game that you will love the look of. Every character — ranging from cheeky wizards to mechanical chefs — possesses an original theme which changes the look and sound of the board. For instance, a pirate board turns gems into treasure chests and cannonballs and one from an interstellar explorer has planets and asteroids. The animations are slick, with gems sharding into confetti and power-ups bursting in gratifying explosions of light. Customization options allow you to suit up your avatar with clothes, emotes and even victory dances, letting you wear your heart on your sleeve (or mid-pile of trash) as you vie for the next crown.

The game is hard to put down due to a good progression system. Victories in matches yield trophies, which unlock fresh leagues and more difficult opponents, daily challenges and seasonal events bring unique rewards such as rare boosters or cosmetic items. A “sticker album” game gives you virtual stickers for completing certain tasks (for example, “Match 50 red gems in one game”), a set of long-term objectives beyond climbing the leaderboard.

Match Masters thrives on interaction. Join or create a club to play and chat with friends, and climb the leaderboard in your club for even bigger rewards. Battle day or night and face off against learners from across the globe in real-time. Clubs make it easier than ever to team up with friends around the world to compete together. Local groups are also a great way to meet new and interesting people while working on your skills win-win. Team up with your clubmates, and go for one of the top spots on tourney day. Can you stay cool under pressure? Whether you're interested this thing or that thing, we've got your back here. Updated almost weekly, there's always something fresh, including tournaments, modes and events. The title also features live tournaments with cash prizes, hosting the best players from all over. Solo players who enjoy the game will find a story-driven campaign mode with hundreds of levels and silly boss battles in “Adventure Mode,” but multiplayer is the main draw.

Whether you're looking to take a quick, relaxing break or eager to compete against other players in battle, Match Masters is the awesome game for you. Between strategy, luck and skill, no two games of loop are the same, with regular updates promising that things always feel fresh. Even better, it’s available for free (with optional in-app purchases for cosmetic and booster items), so everybody can play.
