iSameGame is SameGame in 3D. Tap a group of two or more touching spheres of one colour to select it, tap again to clear it. The spheres above fall, empty columns close up, and a group of n scores n(n−1)×10, so ten at once is worth 900 and twenty is worth 3,800. Every board the app deals can be cleared, and clearing it earns a 2,000 bonus. EVERY BOARD IS A CODE C-7K3P9Q deals the same board on every iPhone and iPad, and at samegame.app, so send it to a friend and compare scores on exactly the same puzzle. Each day has four daily boards, one per size, with a Game Center leaderboard for each, all-time leaderboards per size, ten achievements, and on iOS 26 challenges on today's board. FOUR SIZES Easy (8×10, three colours), Classic (8×12, five colours, the board from 2008), Large (10×16) and Expert (12×18). MADE TO BE PLAYED Unlimited undo and redo. A hint when you want one. Every finished game is kept with a replay you can watch move by move, and your bests follow you from iPhone to iPad through iCloud. Press New until a board leans your way, then step back to the one you skipped. Drag to tilt the board, pinch to zoom. Sound and haptics you can turn off. YOUR LOOK Matte, glossy or flat spheres. A high-contrast palette, and symbols on the spheres, for colour-blind players. The selection as an outline, a wire grid or a glow. iSameGame first shipped on the App Store in 2008. Version 6 is a new app on the same idea: the scoring is the one it always had, the boards are still guaranteed clearable, and the spheres are now real ones, lit, that you can tilt. Free, no account, no ads.
