About Magic Match 3
Magic Match 3 is a match-3 game in which you can line up the elemental magical stones and other stones to create rows and columns of three or more. There is 5 different elemental stones and is hard to solve when time is running.
How to play Magic Match 3
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Run and change lane |
| Spacebar | Jump |
| Shift | Slide |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The reason Magic Match 3 holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — parkour & running — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
