Game overview

Fight Match puts a match-three board underneath a fight. Clearing a group of same-coloured balls sends your hero in to land a hit, so the board is really your attack sequence and a big clear does the damage a scattered one cannot. Every level sets a knockout target, special pieces are there for when the board tightens up, and the pace of the fight follows directly from how well you read the colours.

This title is best suited to players who like match-three with a battle layer on top.
