Also love the fact i don't have to stress about losing lives ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-08-01, version 4.16* This is the company that donated nearly 800,000 dollars (probably more idk) to St. Jude on Ryan and Haley Trahan’s 50 state in 50 day challenge. Now I do know that was like a year ago but yea. The games good. ### 3/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-07-31, version 4.16* It’s a little boring. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-29, version 4.16* 1 minute and I was hooked and it’s better than candy crush ### 3/5 — Good but *2026-07-29, version 4.16* I really love this game, and I used to play it a lot a few years back. Recently revisited it but I don’t remember it having nearly as many ads!? I could’ve sworn it was a ads free or at least minimum ad game, now every-time I complete a level im stuck on an ad for 30 seconds to a whole minute which is frustrating. Miss the old days :( ## Frequently asked questions about Match Collector ### What is Match Collector?
