TideMatch
About TideMatch
TideMatch is a soothing ocean-themed match puzzle that pairs the addictive satisfaction of tile matching with a calming seaside visual atmosphere. Match groups of ocean creatures, shells, and wave patterns to clear the board before you run out of moves.
Special tide tiles trigger wave effects that cascade across the board, clearing entire rows or columns in one satisfying sweep. Building combos that chain multiple tide tiles together is the key to conquering harder levels without running out of moves.

Tips & Strategies
- Set up wave tiles near clusters. A wave tile surrounded by same-color tiles will clear far more when it explodes than one placed in open water.
- Count remaining moves. When you're below 5 moves, every swap must either complete a match or set one up — no speculative moves.
- Work from the bottom up. Bottom matches create falling cascades that often complete bonus matches above without spending extra moves.
