MATCH-3 WITH AN EXTRA DIMENSION Rotate a cube of candies and find matches across three axes: width, height and depth. Match colors, trigger cascades and explore the layers of the board to spot your next move. 300 LEVELS, 8 CANDY WORLDS Adventure mode takes you from a candy shop to the stars, through biscuit, ice, chocolate and caramel worlds. Complete each level's goals: score points, clear jelly or bring ingredients down. Break chocolate obstacles to open up the board. Learn at your own pace during the first 9 levels, then discover limited-move challenges from level 10 and timed levels from level 50. Earn stars and follow your progress on the level map. Adventure mode has 5 lives. Keep your life when you win; failing or abandoning uses one. A life refills every 30 minutes, even while offline. Time Attack remains available without lives. COMBOS IN THREE DIMENSIONS Create striped candies, wrapped candies, color bombs and fish. Combine special candies to unleash effects across the cube. THE CHRONO CHALLENGE Prefer chasing a high score? Chrono mode gives you 3 minutes to chain cascades. Fill the Fever meter to double your points for 10 seconds. A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE BOARD Switch between front and 3D views, explore layers and isolate a depth to see matches more clearly. Discover boosters, daily rewards, and sound and color settings.

About

Pondkeeper

Features
Read full description

Pondkeeper is a relaxing offline fishing game about timing, control, and the thrill of a bite. Cast your line near the green zone to earn a better setup, then watch the water for a fish to take the bait. When the fish strikes, hold the left and right controls to guide the needle through the green zone. Stay steady to fill the catch ring—but drift away and progress drains faster. Every pond has its own target list and score requirement. Catch the marked fish, manage different fighting styles, and earn enough points to unlock the next challenge. FEATURES • Handcrafted pond challenges • 5 fish types with distinct movement and difficulty • Casting timing that affects each attempt • A quick, tactile reel-in challenge • Multi-fish objectives and score-based progression • Offline single-player play • No account, ads, purchases, or network connection required A quiet lake. A lively line. Keep the needle green and bring the catch home.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pondkeeper at none against 3D Crush Chrono's 4. Pondkeeper also leads on ads (none vs shown). 3D Crush Chrono's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
