Associate Match – Sort, Match, Clear! Can you sort every image into the right category? Associate Match is a fresh puzzle game where you tap images, match them to categories, and clear the board. Plan your moves, manage your dock, and think ahead! HOW TO PLAY Categories are displayed at the top of the screen. A grid full of fun images sits at the bottom. In between is your dock with 5 slots. Tap an image from the grid to pick it up. If its category is already at the top, the image goes straight in. If not, it waits in the dock. When a category is completed and a new one appears, any matching images in the dock will automatically jump in! But watch out – the dock only has 5 slots. Send too many images without a matching category and you’ll jam up. Every tap counts! FEATURES • Category Matching: Donuts, penguins, doctors, paintings and many more – sort colorful images into the right categories. • Strategic Dock: 5 slots to manage. Do you send an image now or wait for the right category to appear? • Tunnels: Clear the image in front and watch new ones spawn from inside the tunnel. • Hidden Images: Some images stay hidden until the item blocking them is removed – plan around the unknown! • Pathfinding Grid: Images can only move when their path is clear – think about which ones to free first. • Fun Visuals: Beautiful, playful images that make every match a delight. • Offline Play: No internet needed – play anytime, anywhere. • Hundreds of Levels: New challenges, obstacles, and surprises as you progress. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT Associate Match combines sorting, matching, and strategic thinking in one addictive package. The dock mechanic adds a unique twist – do you play it safe or take risks for bigger combos? Easy to pick up, tricky to master. Every level is a new puzzle to solve.
