Match-3 puzzlers have long dominated the mobile gaming world, but what if they could dominate the entire universe?
Enter Matchy Star on Steam, a brand-new reinvention of the classic Match-3 roguelite genre that takes you on a tour of the galaxy alongside three spacecraft, Zippy, Skippy, and Bob.
Each ship has limited fuel, so matching the right stars along its flight path is the key to keeping it moving. Chain your matches into huge combos to keep your ships fuelled.
Reach For The Stars!
To make it to the end goal of Xanadu, where Matchy left their wallet and photos, you’ll need to plan and strategise in real time whilst Zippy, Skippy, and Bob begin travelling across the star tiles. Luckily, by dressing the rockets in fun accessories collected along the way, you can tailor how they move and chart their course.
Zippy, the largest and slowest ship, adds time to each level, but makes up for it by baking the best cookies in space!
Skippy is the all-rounder: mid-sized and speedy, which explains how he has the record for most cookies eaten within a minute.
And finally, there’s Bob, the smallest and quickest rocket, who, by no coincidence, burns hot and bright like a red giant and loves his cookies burnt.
Each level keeps it engaging with a gradual increase in difficulty, encouraging astronomers to adapt to harsher galactic challenges and refine their builds to complete the course. And, with end-of-level stats covering more than just time and combos, replaying to compete with yourself for a new high score feels extra rewarding.
The Most Fun Match-3 Of All Time
Put on your spacesuit and check out Matchy Star, a game so out of this world that it must be the best Match-3 of all time.
