Enter the Match-3 board as Mr Swap-With-Coins and try to make a match in 6 turns or less. It's like a sliding tile puzzle crossed with a Match-3 game. As the coins keep dropping, so do new mechanics: * Get wild-card-coins from matching 4 or junction-match to create a bomb. * Each match gives you a card, collect matching cards for bonus score. * Lucrative un-matchable diamonds you can only collect at the bottom of the board. * Wrap your mind around coin-cages that push whole lines of coins. * Yet more mechanics, but why spoil it all? Six Match also features: * A puzzle mode with bite sized challenges. * Gamepad support. * Auto-save. * No pay-to-win or timers. Six Match is now a self-contained paid app: Ads, in-app purchases, and social features have been removed to ensure the longevity of this game.
