Read full descriptionHide full description
Deep in a forgotten forest, something is glimmering… Welcome to Glimmer Grove — a match-3 adventure bursting with color, charm, and just a little bit of magic. Swap enchanted tiles, wake ancient guardians, and restore the grove one dazzling cascade at a time. A JOURNEY THROUGH FOUR REALMS Wander the Grove Trail across 1,000 hand-tuned levels and four breathtaking biomes — golden Sunrise Meadow, tropical Moonlit Pond, shimmering Crystal Hollow, and the lava-lit Skyroot Ruins. Every 25 levels a Guardian awaits: the Ember Hare, the Moss Turtle, the Moon Owl, and the fearsome Storm Raccoon. Beat them all and their crowns (and app icons!) are yours. MATCHES WITH REAL MAGIC Line up four and hatch a Dragonfly that clears the whole row. Sprout Beam Seeds, forge Bloom Bombs, and chase the legendary Rainbow Wild — five in a row of pure chaos. Chain specials together and watch the entire board light up like a festival. YOUR FOX SIDEKICK Every match charges your fox friend's magic meter. Fill it and unleash a grove-shaking burst exactly when you need it. (The fox also gives out suspiciously good advice on the home screen. Listen to the fox.) FIVE WAYS TO PLAY: GROVE TRAIL — the grand 1,000-level journey DAILY LANTERN — a fresh puzzle every day, with streak rewards WEEKLY EVENTS — limited-time twists and ticket trophies ZEN GROVE — endless, pressure-free matching for cozy evenings INFINITY PUZZLE — four difficulties, from Breezy to Mythic. Good luck. MORE TO EARN, EVERY SINGLE DAY Daily quests, a 7-day gift calendar, seasonal pass with two reward tracks, treasure chests, collectible avatars, and a hall of Challenges that turn your victories into crowns. Climb Game Center leaderboards and show the world (or at least your friends) who really rules the grove. MADE TO BE SAVORED No timers breathing down your neck. Play offline anywhere. Progress syncs safely through iCloud. Storm clouds, tangled vines, and mischievous obstacles keep your brain busy — never your patience. The grove is waiting. The fox is pacing. The gems aren't going to match themselves. Download Glimmer Grove and let it shine!!

Your toy car. A road in the sky. Traffic coming the other way. What could go wrong? Tap to steer against the wind and grab the coin in front of every oncoming car, then get out of the way before the car behind it gets you. Miss a coin and you lose a heart. Hit a car and you become a pancake. JUST TAP. THAT'S IT. The wind pushes your car to one side. Tap to push back. CARS WITH THINGS ON THEIR ROOFS Earn coins and unlock a garage full of cars, many of them wearing something on top: a burger, a banana, a donut, a pizza slice, a clam with a pearl in it, a trash can, and more. It wobbles like jelly every time you tap. When you crash, it goes flying. Then the traffic flattens that too. MOCHIS The sky is full of them. They line the sidewalks, float past on clouds, and cheer you on as you drive by. They are not much help, but they mean well. CLOUD TRAILS Reach a score of 370 and your wheels start leaving little clouds behind them. Can't be bought with coins. You just have to get good. Wear it with any car. EARN EVERYTHING BY PLAYING Every car is earned in the game, with coins or with crashes. No in-app purchases. Watch an optional ad after a run to double your coins, or don't. THE TOILET There is a toilet car. You unlock it by crashing 100 times. We don't make the rules. Actually we do. SHARE YOUR BEST RUNS Beat your best score, then share it and make your friends try. - Tap-only controls, playable one-handed - Short runs, perfect for a quick break - A road floating through clouds, candy balloons, floating islands and a lot of mochis - Plays offline - Traffic that comes in patterns: gaps to thread, walls to dodge, and the occasional marching column

Glimmer Grove's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
