CardMoji

Read full description

Somewhere, the lights went out. CardMoji is the memory game where every pair you match brings a dark world back to life. Flip cards, find the emoji pairs and earn up to three stars a level. Then spend those stars to relight the world, one piece at a time: a lantern on the shore, a tram line through the city, a reactor aboard a drifting station. Every level adds up to something you can see. NO LIVES. NO WAITING. NO LOOT BOXES. CardMoji is free, and it plays fair: • No lives, hearts or energy timers. Play as many levels as you like, whenever you like. • No loot boxes, no gacha, no subscriptions. There is no shop for stars, boosters or levels. • One currency: stars, earned by playing. • Most ads are your choice: watch one if you want an extra hint, a second chance or bonus stars. A short ad can appear between some levels, but never after a level you lost, never around a boss and never in your first session. • A one-time Remove Ads purchase switches off the between-level ads and gives you the ad rewards without watching. It is not a subscription. THE RELIGHT: THREE WORLDS TO BRING BACK • Lantern Isle. The keeper left and the isle went dark. Bring the light back, one lantern at a time. • Blackout City. The grid failed and the city fell asleep. Wake it up, street by street. • Station Aurora. A station adrift with nobody aboard. Reboot it, module by module. 75 levels across three worlds, each one finished by a boss level: relight the beam, throw the main switch, wake the station. MEMORY THAT FIGHTS BACK Every world bends the rules in its own way: • Sea Fog: some cards start lost in fog, and the fog lifts when you chain matches. • Power Surge: pairs of cards trade places mid-game. • Ghost Signal: decoy pairs that look right but aren't. Chain matches into combos for bigger scores. In the later boss levels, the twists you have already met come back together. ENDLESS MODE Endless mode unlocks after Lantern Isle, with your personal best always on screen. Board after board until the clock wins, with one continue per run and no retries. Endless mode adds three more twists: Timer Drain, Mirror Round and Speed Round. COME BACK TOMORROW (IF YOU WANT TO) • Daily challenge: one fresh board a day, the same board for every player, with a world's twist on some days. Even a loss pays a star. • A streak that forgives: freezes cover missed days, and a broken streak steps down instead of dropping to zero. • Collection: card backs to earn and an emoji album that fills as you match. Two more themes to unlock: Sunlit Clay, free when you restore Blackout City, and Neon Voyage for 25 stars once Station Aurora is restored. STUCK? THE GAME HELPS, FOR FREE After a few tries at the same level, CardMoji gives you extra time and a free hint, and eventually the option to skip ahead. Help is never for sale. PLAYING SINCE VERSION 2? Your stars come with you as a welcome-back gift. If you bought Remove Ads, it stays yours. No need to buy it again. Made for three-minute breaks: short levels, quick matches, no pressure to stay.
