Mobile Game — Color-Match with Evolution

Color Match Drop

A Puyo Puyo-style puzzle with rules of its own: pairs of blocks fall, 4 matching blocks clear, but 5 or more evolve into blocks with special powers. 5 biomes that change the rules, music born from every move, 7 game modes and a preview that shows the result before you let go.

What players get

The game — colors that evolve

Evolution

4 matching blocks clear. 5 or more evolve into a higher tier with a special ability, and evolved blocks can keep going up to the Golden tier.

Falling blocks and chains

Each block falls on its own. After every clear, new chains form naturally, with multipliers up to ×8.

Prophecy Preview

Hold your finger down to see how the whole move would play out, chains included, with the estimated points, without making it.

Music from every move

Each color is a musical note (C4-D5). Matches sound like chords and chains climb an octave. Each biome has its own ambient sound.

Biomes that change the rules

Ocean

Blocks fall 20% slower. More time to think.

Volcano

Burns random blocks every 30s. Constant pressure.

Forest

15% more green blocks show up, making single-color chains easier.

Space + Crystal

Space flips gravity for a moment every 45s. Crystal freezes random blocks (10% chance).

Game modes

Classic Color

Speed keeps rising and the biome changes every 5 levels. Game over when you reach the top.

Evolution Race

Make a Golden block (tier 4) as fast as you can. Speed leaderboard.

Cascade Challenge

Only your longest chain of the game counts. Chain leaderboard.

Daily + Duels + Timed + Zen

A daily game that is the same for everyone with a global ranking, duels with bets, 3 timer options and Zen with no game over (Premium).

What we solved

Problems we solved

Apple could not find the privacy prompt

The problem: During review, Apple could not see the prompt asking for tracking permission, even though the app showed it correctly.

How we solved it: We found that the review iPad had that permission turned off for every app, and explained it to Apple.

→ Solved without touching the app, plus a checklist for the next ones.

Chains with powers

The problem: One clear can evolve a block, trigger its power, cause new clears and keep going in a chain.

How we solved it: Each round is resolved on its own, with a short animated pause in between.

→ Chains of 6+ rounds with a ×8 multiplier that are easy to follow.

Seeing the future without cheating

The problem: The preview had to show the whole move without changing the real game.

How we solved it: It plays the move out separately and only shows the result.

→ A helper that makes the game more accessible without breaking competitive play.

Biomes that really change the game

The problem: Biomes could not be just decoration: they had to change the rules without breaking the balance.

How we solved it: Each biome steps in at precise moments of the game.

→ Each biome calls for a different strategy, so every game feels new.

Duel coins that always add up

The problem: When creating or accepting a duel with a bet, the coins on screen did not match the real balance.

How we solved it: The real balance rules, and the screen updates right after every operation.

→ Coins always show the real balance.

Music That Plays Along

Each color has its own note: Blue=C4, Green=E4, Red=G4, Yellow=B4, Pink=D5. Matches play chords made from the colors you clear, and chains climb octave by octave. Each biome has its own ambient background that changes the mood.
