About

Bud Crush

Features
Read full description

Swap buds, match 3 or more, and clear the board. Every level has a goal to hit before your moves run out. 400 levels, 8 boosters, big combos, and a Grow Room you build up with every win. HOW TO PLAY Swap two buds that sit side by side to line up 3 or more of the same color. They pop, fresh buds drop in, and one good move can set off a chain. Each level gives you a goal and a set number of moves. Fill a strain order, reach a target score, clear the resin, or guide jars and trichomes down to the drop zone. MAKE BIGGER MATCHES Match 4 in a row to make a Line Clear. Make an L or T shape to build a Kief Bomb. Match 5 in a row to make a piece that clears a whole color. Then swap two specials together for an even bigger reaction. BOOSTERS FOR TOUGH LEVELS Eight boosters unlock as you play. Smash one stuck piece. Swap two buds without using a move. Shuffle the whole board. Add 5 more moves. Each one can turn a close loss into a win. EVERY WIN GROWS SOMETHING Win a level to earn BudCoins. Spend them on gear for your Grow Room, such as a grow lamp, a nutrient bar and fans. Finish an episode and your harvest pays out. Win fast with moves to spare and you earn a Perfect Harvest. COLLECT 36 STRAINS Your Field Guide keeps track of every strain you find: 36 strains across six color families, plus rare cuts to hunt down. SPIN THE HARVEST WHEEL Take a free spin every day. Win BudCoins, boosters, or a rare Mystery Cut. MUSIC THAT MATCHES THE MOMENT The soundtrack shifts as you play, from calm to tense to big when you win. Prefer your own mood? Switch to Relaxing Vibes or Upbeat Vibes. Bud Crush is free to play, with optional in-app purchases. Bud Crush is a work of fiction for adults 18+. All strains, currencies (BudCoins and Terp Gems), and rewards exist only inside the game and have no real-world value. The game does not sell, promote, or depict the use of real-world products.
