Shiftmate

Match-3, rethought for people who like to plan. In Shiftmate there are no swaps. The board has one gap, and every swipe slides a whole row or column into it. Two, three, even six gems move at once, the gap travels on, and chains fall into place. Read the board, plan the route of the gap and set up the cascade. WHY PLAYERS LOVE IT • One gap, endless plans: every move changes where your next move can be. • See what drops next: the top row shows the next gem in every column. No blind luck. • 250 levels across 26 worlds, each tuned with hundreds of test games. • Frost, crates, double crates, blanks, chains and gold bars keep every world fresh. • Line clears and color blasts: match four or five to build specials. • Daily puzzle: the same board for everyone. Beat par, keep your streak, share your result. • Daily rewards: come back each day, day 7 is the big one. • Undo a move when a plan goes wrong. • Fair by design: no lives, no waiting, no energy timers. • Plays offline. No ads, no tracking, no account. • Distinct gem shapes, easy to tell apart with color blindness. • In English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi and Vietnamese. Shiftmate is free. Have fun planning the gap.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shiftmate at none against 3D Pool Madness's 1. Shiftmate also leads on ads (none vs shown). 3D Pool Madness's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.
