Swapglow: Match 3 Puzzle & Pet

Swap two pieces, line up three or more, and watch the board light up. Swapglow is a bright, friendly match 3 puzzle game with real photo worlds, music for every theme and something new to play every day. Free to play, and it plays offline.

HOW IT PLAYS Swap neighboring pieces to match three of a kind, or make a 2x2 square. Match four in a row for a line clearer, an L or T shape for an area clearer, a square for a diagonal blast, and five in a row for a color clearer. Swap two specials together for a bigger combo. Every level has its own goal: reach the score, clear the glaze, collect pieces, bring treats down, break the blockers and beat the countdowns.

NEW TWISTS AS YOU GO • Light the Way: the board is dark, so clear pieces next to the light to spread it and reach every lantern • Prisms: crystals that fire along their whole row and column when a blast reaches them, and set off the next prism • Glowbugs: fireflies that hop around the board. Clear the piece one sits on to catch it • Trace levels: draw a line through matching pieces, and the longer the line, the bigger the blast

FIVE THEMES, EACH WITH ITS OWN LOOK AND MUSIC • Candy Shop: sweets over real photo worlds, from a fern forest to a sunset beach • Deep Space: planets and moons over NASA's own pictures of Mars, Saturn and the Pillars of Creation • Halloween: ghosts, pumpkins, a haunted wood and the Hollow Lord • Neon Night: synthwave glow and a driving beat • Iron Winter: a Norse saga with a dragon at the end of it All five are open from the start, and each keeps its own progress and its own map.

LEVELS AND BOSSES 100 hand-made levels, then new ones without end, each a little harder than the last. Every tenth level a boss arrives: it strikes back at the board, and it's stronger each time you meet it.

YOUR GLOWPUP Win level 3 and an egg hatches into your own pet. Name him, and he sits under the board: big plays wake him, and one tap sends him pouncing on the pieces. Look after him every day and he grows up. Catching Glowbugs charges his pounce. At home you can feed him, pet him, play fetch, teach him tricks, dress him up in hats, bandanas and crystals, and paint his coat. In Glow Run you steer him around a giant board while his bubble pump pops candies.

SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • The daily challenge: the same board for everyone, with a shared leaderboard (joining it is up to you) • Rush: 60 seconds on the clock, and every special you make buys another second • Daily, hourly and pet quests, with a chest for finishing them • Weekend festivals: points, five prizes and a sticker you can only win that weekend • A daily reward that grows through the week, and star chests • The Glow Cube: a puzzle on six faces with shared moves

COLLECT AND CHALLENGE FRIENDS • A sticker album with a sticker for every world you reach and every boss you beat • 20 achievements with bronze, silver and gold medals • Send a friend the level you just beat, from the same start, and see if they can top your score

LIVES, COINS AND PURCHASES You have 5 lives, and one comes back every 8 minutes. Coins come from playing: special wins, quests, chests and rewards. Spend them on boosters, five extra moves when you're one short, or things for your pet. Optional purchases through Google Play: coin packs, a one-time starter pack and Glow Club. Every coin can also be earned by playing, and every purchase says exactly what you get. Ads only play when you tap to watch one for a reward.

PLAYS YOUR WAY • No account: your progress stays on your phone, with a backup code to move it • Plays offline (the leaderboard, friend challenges, reward ads and purchases need a connection) • Reminders only if you turn them on • A How to play page in Settings, and tips the first time you meet anything new
