About

Match Sweeper

Features

Read full description

Match Sweeper is a pair-matching game with a fresh twist. Find a pair. Match them by only dragging a tile onto its pair. A correct match uncovers all surrounding cells. The aim is to clear the board by removing all tile covers. Be strategic in choosing the blast site otherwise, you may end up with closed tiles. Enjoy.
