Matchicon™ is now a collection of puzzle games! Each game has 5 levels of play. The games are easy to learn, but challenging to master. With a clean & modern game interface, Matchicon™ provides hours of game play without a lot of unnecessary fluff. If you are like me, you hate ads. There are no ads in Matchicon™. Matchicon™ is free to download with unlimited play for 14 days. After that, the game is still playable, but game play is limited unless an In-App purchase is made for unlimited play. Matchicon™ was built for travellers and commuters! That's because it doesn't require an internet connection to register high scores or get additional game data. You can play it completely disconnected in an airplane without any impact to game play.
