This game has a calming soundtrack, satisfying sound effects, cool customization, and is mostly a very relaxing game. The daily levels are challenging and I can’t always beat them! I love match 3 games but sometimes they are too addictive. This game is the perfect balance of challenging and relaxing. No timer, and the obstacles in the game really make you think.

These puzzles are fun! Some of them are challenging, but nothing feels impossible to beat. The generic starting tiles are mostly randomized for each level, so sometimes it just takes a few attempts to get a lucky roll. I love how customizable everything is. It is nice to get to choose the background color, accent color, and select any combination of the tiles that I've unlocked. I'm very light-sensitive, so dark mode options are very important to me. My tiles are all spooky Halloween themed right now! 🍬🎃🦇 I don't know if the developer is still planning on adding more levels or features to this game, but I would love an option to apply my tile colors or different shades of gray to the 1, 2, and 3 tiles. I have some dyscalculia, so the plain white number tiles get a bit swimmy when I'm tired. 😅 I've completed all the levels without powerups, so now I'm just doing the daily levels and working my way through getting 3 stars on some of the ones I missed. I didn't expect there to be much replay-ability here, but it's actually nice to go back and redo some of the earlier puzzles to get a better score.
- rowanrooks · v3.9.8
This is a legitimate no ads, no subscription, no pay to play, just a match 3 game.
- TindrasGrove · v3.9.8
Love this game! So much fun and so relaxing. It is so well thought out! Don’t hesitate, well worth it! I play every day!
- Rresh24 · v3.9.8
Update: This has become my favorite iOS game. So relaxing in these stressful times. Keeps the mind focused and meditative while playing.
- BobSSmith · v3.9.8
Best match 3 game ever. Need more levels please!!
- *Juli99 · v3.9.8
it's so nice to find a good, simple match three that's not just a money pit with colors. thanks so much for making this.
- iq2 · v3.9.7
I purchased this game to play while I was going to visit the grandbabies back in February. I have it installed on three devices and just got to the final level. It was quite the challenge! Thanks for all your hard work on this game!
- JMWoodward · v3.9.6
so thoughtfully made and extremely addictive. I love this game sm!
- lizasauruspurex · v3.9.5
Amazing, could not ask for better. So relaxing, many options, developers are easy to contact if anything goes wrong. I’d give 10 stars if I could
- jnrockskk · v3.9.5
Love it, especially the customizable tiles.
- sid.silver.squid · v3.9.3
I love that I can just play, no limits, for as long as I want. Zen Mode is cozy magic!!
- dd3953 · v3.9.3
So far I am very pleased! I was in search of a new match game to replace a fun but very greedy and expensive “royal” match game. This is a simple game but that’s what I love the most about it. Hopefully as I play more I won’t find the same greediness and push to spend money in order to progress. What a relief! I can just have fun and relax while doing so.
- atkinson77 · v3.9.3
This is just the game I have been looking for…I love the gentle music and the clicking of the tiles dropping is so satisfying. Thank you for a wonderful game.
- Vanessa1166 · v3.9.3
Ad free! Cozy! Visually appealing! Daily games ! What’s not to love?
- Tennesseegroove · v3.9.3
I really love this game! Customizing the tiles and earning new tilesets is fun. The level progression is satisfying. I adore the fact that there’s no ads. I wish premium loaded - I bought it and it doesn’t load, despite my internet connection being just fine. Otherwise I love this game. Edit: the developer has helped me restore the premium ad on. Thank you!
- Dreamsick · v3.9.3
This is the best 3 match game I have ever played. Simplicity and fun and challenging levels make me come back for more. I love challenges and going for a 100 percent completion rate in all levels. Great customization for tiles and background colors to choose from. Thank you developer(s).
- UpBeatEagle · v3.9.3
All I really need is Tetris, Minesweeper and maybe Blackjack/Sudoku/Crosswords and I’d be so set
- agirlwithnames · v3.9.3
This is supposed to be a simple and mindless game. It gets way too difficult past a certain point. Not what I wanted when I purchased.
- Christopher9999999999999 · v3.9.3
I’m sure like for many of you, match 3 is a comfort zone, and ads would turn it into stress instead. This version also makes the good call to omit the many over-the-top mechanics that end up making full wipes of the screen a necessity to clear many levels. Zen mode is the perfect balance of not feeling paint-by-numbers easy but allowing relaxation, and the numbered levels are a reasonable challenge! Will keep trying on the Daily Level for that scoreboard competition to mix things up!
- Mortnemin · v3.9.3
I love match 3 games but hate endless ads, having to wait for energy and pay to play gimmicks. It’s nice to play a fun causal game whenever I want without distractions.
- Bayesian1701 · v3.9.3
So nice to pay once and be done with it! Fun match 3 with a lot of fun little enhancements. The ad games are ridiculous!
- WSpackman · v3.9.2
This is by far my favorite match 3 game on iOS and it’s in the top 3 across all the similar games I’ve played across all platforms. The levels are interesting and challenging without being unfair, the power-ups are interesting and, while not unique to this game, add a fun element of strategy to play. The daily levels are also usually both fun and challenging. The endless “zen mode” is also a good option for unstructured gameplay. The one IAP adds a few hundred extra levels and a few new mechanics, along with a second “gold” daily level. I found the cost of both the game and IAP to be well worth the dozens of hours I’ve played. I hope the dev keeps offering occasional similar DLCs—I’ll be sure to pick them up if so. One feature I’d like is a procedurally generated mode like zen mode but with actual objectives like the main levels.
- magnuspraeda · v3.9.2
I really enjoy everything about this game! Of note, the developer is very responsive to any issues that arise. The game is fast paced and fun! Great challenges and many levels to play.
- mamazons · v3.9.2
Love this game so much! Truly ad free! This is a great game that easily beats every other matching game out there! Lindsey is so on top of bug reports, unlike other developers. I love all the games from this developer and recommend them all. Finally an ad free, clean experience!
- Humphrey16 · v3.9
I play the daily level, well, daily. Never a single ad. Follows the typical match 3 rules, just no buying a win😁. Perfect fidget game while listening to podcasts or lectures….no timed events, so no worries setting it down to take a note, or focus more closely. I’m Katalysator on the leaderboard (typically in the top three). Latest update has a leaderboard problem
- Newpod42 · v3.4
When I switch to zen mode, there is no way I can switch back to normal mode.
- MnandiUser · v3.3
Level 158 has a glitch I get every thing done but says I still have boxes to break
- I8achaire · v3.3
It feels like sometimes you can’t have it all in a game but this game manages to not only super fun to play but also no annoying ads! Sure there’s an a small cost however, it’s going towards supporting an indie developer. Also the other match 3 games cost like $2.99 to go ad-free but then you still have to deal with hearts, power-ups, boost, ect. Playing this game feels like standing up to freemium games too 🤭 The experience is extra wonderful because you can tell a lover of match 3 games made it. I wish the best for this indie dev so that one day they can be a full time dev and keep making these games!
- pinkskypanda · v3.3
Level 158 must have a bug. I’ve fully cleared the board but it still says I have boxes left to clear. I’ve tried so many times. Please fix this so I can keep playing
- Jjjhgtejbx · v3.2
This is really all I want in a mobile game. Engaging, addictive puzzles that don’t add all the mini-game nonsense and the non stop push for more purchases. And ZERO ads. All for a one time purchase of a few bucks. I highly recommend to anyone burned out by developers constantly changing gameplay rules and begging for money.
- Billywitt · v3.2
The newest update is totally worth the upgrade price. Lots of new levels and improvements. More please!
- mildop1 · v3.2
The issue was resolved thank you! And this is a great game! 🙏🏼🥰
- Naraccuda · v3.2
This developer is amazing. I want to play mobile games but they all lack simplicity. I don’t want to build houses and do make overs with my match 3 anymore 😭. This is perfect, as well as their other projects. I hope you keep making games!! :)
- bagel spread · v3.2
minimalistic, cozy, engaging & hard to put down. all while ad free (!!!)
- tthrashvinyl · v3.2
I absolutely love how customizable the game gets as you unlock tiles 👏🏽 the levels are set up in really nice way in both the levels mode and the zen mode. Incredibly chill to play. Big ups to the developer my favorite match 3 game I’ve found yet.
- NoodleDidIt · v3.2
Best game and add free. Best I have ever played!
- lunchbox351 · v3.2
Relaxing music and puts you in the zone for hours.
- Joce Cai · v3.2
Everything is fixed. Works great. I’m back to matching. The makers were quick to respond and did what they promised.
- Hitthebids · v3.1
Edit: Thanks for fixing!!! The 50 new free levels aren’t appearing for me, and the “restore purchase” button doesn’t work after buying the $1.99 in-app purchase :(
- bluesnowfox · v3.1
Treat yourself to the best match-3 on iOS AND support a real human game developer who puts love and care into what she does. Puts all the slop clones to shame, really. Perfect. Go get her CozySolitaire game (with upgrades), too! You will not regret it.
- uselessmachine · v3.1
This app has been 100% worth the very minimal cost. The graphics are clean and appealing and the game play experience is of actually playing the game rather than constantly dodging ads or power up packages. I beat all the levels months ago but I still play it daily - the daily level is always a fun challenge and I appreciate the “random level” option. I just got the new update and I’m looking forward to exploring the new levels and features.
- Hrice · v3.1
I really enjoy this game! It is well built and easy to mindlessly play. But hands down my favorite part is the simplicity. Buy once, no ads. Makes game play much more pleasant!
- CookingKate2012 · v3.0
This app is fantastic. Plenty of levels to keep you engaged. There are several mechanics to keep things challenging and interesting, without feeling unfair or too grindy. I love that there’s no microtransactions - I’ll pay for no ads and unlocked customization any day. Greatly looking forward to more games from this developer!
- Jon.pls · v2.9.3
Update your app
- ShadowDemonicAngel · v2.9.3
No in app purchases, microtransactions, ads…Perfect! I don't know how publisher makes money in USA APP STORE, but I am as happy as a butterfly in Sunshine! Devs, make fashion game and city/farm sim and I'll be a very happy camper! There are not enough exclamation points to describe my joy! Thank you!
- BellaCieliVox · v2.9.3
I really enjoy this game!! I was wondering if the initial conditions for a level get easier if you fail enough times and if there could be a setting to turn that off?
- Dinoratattack · v2.9.3
The art is beautiful, sfx are satisfying, and there's collectibles to customize your tiles. I was hoping this would give me similar cozy feelings to the dev's other games, but I seem to find match 3 to be more stressful than relaxing, even after hiding the score meter to try to make it feel less "competitive". It's not a fault of the game though, that's just me. It was still worth the price to give it a shot.
- Capra Irata · v2.9.3
Another great game from a talented indie developer. Just buy it.
- deed-cassette-fighting · v2.9.3
I have found through experience that the match 3 games that have in-app purchases have a rigged algorithm where the game, regardless of your moves, leads you to a point where you almost win the level and then offers you more chances if you make a purchase. This game you pay up front and there are NO in-app purchases. As such the game is entirely fair. If you play well you win. If you don’t, you lose. The gameplay is a simple straightforward match 3. As you play along you get power ups for advancing and reaching goals and you can change the themes of the tiles. There are no ridiculous side puzzles, growing a garden, or purchasing farm animals. The graphics are satisfying without being overwhelming. Don’t mistake “simple” for “easy”. I am up to level 65 and finding it VERY challenging. Works well on an iMac with trackpad or iPad. Easily worth what you pay for it. Thank you Mulberry Tree Games for a fair, fun, addictive match 3 game. Outstanding!!
