## What is Quetzal Match Three?

Strikingly coloured, Quetzal is a bird whose feathers bring wealth and good fortune. 
But wait, that's not a myth!

Find the precious gems hidden in its nest: match three or more and collect your reward! Collect points to unlock special features.

GEMS
* Quetzal Egg: white as snow and rare as a comet. Bring five of them to become rich as a king... well almost.
* Lapis: the precious blue stone used by ancient civilisations. Quetzal keeps few of these.
* Jade: green as the feathers of Quetzal, no wonder that is hard to find these in the nest.
* Gold: or rather stones covered with a thin gold leaf. Although not as precious as the others, it's still a good idea to collect as many of these as you can.
* Jasper: orange polished stones brought by Quetzal long time ago from the tomb of a Mayan king.
* Ruby: alas, these are simply shiny red crystals. Put some in your pocket - they can still pay the bill
* Magic Stones: appear grey and boring, but when they crash, gems of higher value appear. Bring five together and you'd get a Quetzal Egg.
* The Pink and Purple glasses are beautiful, but not precious.
* The Roses are just dry flowers. Quetzal has plenty of them. You'd have to constantly clean its nest from them so that you could find the precious gems hiding underneath.

HOW TO PLAY
* Choose the stake amount that you'd bet with each move. The higher the stake, the bigger the price! You can change your stake whenever you want - when you come back, you'd continue the game from the state you've left it.
*  Drag a symbol up, down, left, or right to match a line of 3 or more symbols of the same type - the more, the better. Remember: you place a bet with each move that you make.
* If you get stuck or are unsure what move to make, tap on the Auto-move button and Quetzal will try to find the best swap for you.
* When it comes to winnings, the symbols are not equal - some of them give points, others will make you rich. Check out the Paytable to see what prizes you'd get for each move.
* Gather points to unlock special features that boost your chances. Click on the STAR icon to trade your points for one of the boosters. Note: points are collected for each stake level separately.
* When you're out of moves, Quetzal will clutter the gems in the nest. Quetzal believes that clutter is a magic order.

### 1/5 — I Don’t Get It

*2022-09-05*

Nothing happens. I can open the program but I cannot get anything to happen.

### 4/5 — Needs a bug fix but...Here’s a truly free zen-style Match 3 game that...

*2020-11-12*

One problem: From time to time the app freezes while doing a match, requiring closing and reopening the app... 
BUT, this game is well worth your time: no ads, relaxing music, good rewards model and well executed UI.  Thanks and Kudos to the developer for this enjoyable gem of a game (pun intended :-). 

Developer, if you squash the bug, let me know and I’ll be happy to add a star❗️
