TOUCH MATCHING 2.0 — A FRESH LOOK AT A CLASSIC Touch Matching is a relaxing connect-pairs puzzle rebuilt from the ground up. Find two identical tiles and link them with a path of up to three straight lines (at most two turns) through empty space. Clear every pair to finish the board, earn up to three stars and travel through 50 themed stages and 4,519 levels. A LIVING HOME SCREEN The game opens on an animated garden: a big tree whose branches hold Play (or Continue), Levels, Settings and Help, a pond with swimming fish, flowers and little insects. As you progress, the scenery behind the tree changes too. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a tile, then tap its twin. • If they can be joined by one, two or three straight horizontal or vertical lines that do not cross other tiles, both disappear. • Plan ahead: every pair you clear opens new corridors. • If no move is left, the board reshuffles automatically, so you are never stuck. • Match quickly in a row to build combos and boost your score. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Basic Rules — the classic path rules, with stars for finishing quickly. • Kids Mode — just tap two identical pictures, no path checking. Perfect for young children and first-time players. • Timed — the classic rules against a countdown; finish with more time left to earn more stars. Progress is saved separately for each mode, and you can switch at any time in Settings. FIVE WORLDS, 50 STAGES, 4,519 LEVELS Nature, Cuisine, Animals, Urban and Mystic each have their own stages, tile sets (animals, fruits, food, flowers, vehicles and more) and background scenes. Stage selection shows every world on its own tab, and each stage opens a winding level map with a balloon marking where you are. Tap a level to see its board size, number of pairs and time limit before you play. SPECIAL LEVELS Along the way you will meet 273 bonus levels, 50 boss levels and nearly 3,000 levels with hidden tiles. Boards grow from a gentle 3×3 up to 8×8 as you advance. STARS AND PROGRESS Finish quickly to earn two or three stars. Completing every level of a stage unlocks the next one. Progress is stored on your device, and Continue takes you straight back to your last level. COMFORTABLE TO PLAY • Large, clear picture tiles that are easy to tell apart • Music and sound effects can each be switched on or off • Pause at any time to restart or return to the menu • Plays offline once installed • Adapts to every iPhone, iPad and Mac screen, portrait or landscape • English, Vietnamese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French and Hindi ALL 50 STAGES Nature: Morning Forest · Fruit Garden · Geometry World · Evening Beach · Night City · Universe · Winter Forest · Flower Market Cuisine: Tropical Fruits · Birthday Party · Morning Café · Food Market · Western Sweets · Vietnamese Kitchen · Vegetable Garden · Bakery · Seafood Feast · Summer Ice Cream Animals: Blue Ocean · Tropical Rainforest · African Savanna · Spring Sky · Insect World · Zoo Garden · Deep Seabed · Pet Forest · Arctic · Autumn Migration Urban: Walking Street · Street Music · Summer Sports · Construction Site · Rush Hour Traffic · Modern Supermarket · Lively School · Hospital & Care · Festival of Lights · Future City Mystic: Magic Kingdom · Ancient Temple · Fairy Forest · Dark Castle · Sea of Fire · Cloud Paradise · Frozen World · Robot Battlefield · Fourth Dimension · Mysterious Planet · Endless Darkness · Final Battle TIPS Clear pairs near the edges first; they open long corridors.
