About

Bonbon Match

Read full description

Bonbon is a bright, glossy match-3 with no finish line. Swap treats, set off stripes, bombs and rainbows, and climb three worlds of levels that are generated as you go, so there is always a next one. WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING • Three worlds. Easy, Medium and Hard trails, with bigger boards and more treats as you climb. • Levels that never run out. Every level is built fresh from its number, so the trail keeps going. • Three stars on every level. Score goals and treat goals. Go back for the stars you missed. • Specials that pop. Four in a row makes a stripe, an L or T makes a bomb, five makes a rainbow. Swap two specials together for something bigger. • Boosters when you need them. +5 Moves and Shuffle, paid for with coins you earn by playing. • Daily rewards. Come back each day and the bonus grows with your seven-day streak. • Twelve badges and a full stats page. From First Match to Hard Mode Hero, plus stars, streaks, chains and lifetime score. PLAY YOUR WAY No account, no sign-in, nothing to download after install. Your progress is saved on your device. Levels, boosters, daily rewards and badges all work offline; ads and the Shop need a connection. ADS AND PURCHASES Bonbon shows optional reward videos you can watch for coins or extra moves, and occasional ads between levels. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase that stops the ads between levels for good. Coin packs and a booster bundle are available in the Shop.
