Creator-First Match-3

Design the board. Define the rules. Publish the challenge.

MatchForge is not a linear campaign puzzler. It is a social match-3 platform where players build levels, tune physics and objectives, then share them through a searchable cloud catalog.

What Makes MatchForge Different

Built-In Creator + Painter

Players paint tile layouts, set objectives, select gravity direction, and build levels directly in-game.

Cloud Publishing

Levels publish to cloud with creator usernames and metadata so the community can discover and download them.

Searchable Catalog

Filter-heavy browsing by board size, difficulty, ball count, ice/grass presence, rating, and completion rate.

Non-Rectangular Physics

Boards support voids, walls, spawn points, and per-cell flow directions beyond simple top-down falling.

Configurable Match Rules

Per-level rules can require line-4, line-5, L/T/angle, or 2x2 box matches with tied reward specials.

Advanced Specials

Heli bombs and special+special combinations chain into larger board reactions with deeper strategy.

The Creator Loop

  1. Build: Sketch a board shape, paint special cells, and define movement flow.
  2. Tune: Pick objective goals, set match rules, and bind special rewards.
  3. Publish: Add metadata and upload to cloud under your creator profile.
  4. Learn: Watch completion rates, ratings, and retry patterns to iterate better levels.

The Main Twist

MatchForge is built for makers and communities first: social sharing, custom board physics, and rule-level configurability are the core experience.
