Generate and collect thousands of cards. Hunt the ultra-rares almost no one will ever own. Every card rolls two independent rarities, so there are 1,000 normal cards and 1,000 holographic Shinies to chase, 2,000 in all. The rarest are rarer than 1 in a million to pull. And every card has a 1 in 50 shot at being Shiny. GENERATE & DISCOVER Create new cards on a timer, then watch each one reveal. The rarity climbs as the card comes into focus, and the rarer it lands, the bigger the moment. HUNT SHINIES Every Shiny is holographic and 50 times rarer than its normal version. Completing the Shiny set is the ultimate flex. BID, DEAL & SELL Outbid real players in live auctions to snag the cards you're missing, grab limited daily deals, and sell your spare eggs back to the game for coins. JOIN A CLUB Team up with other collectors, pool your finds, and win weekly club bounties together. NO ADS Not one. Ever. Think you can beat the odds? Start your collection today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shellkeep at none against Match Attack's shown. Shellkeep also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Match Attack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shellkeep sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Match Attack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shellkeep holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Shellkeep's written reviews are positive against 100% of Match Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shellkeep ships an update weekly, Match Attack every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
