8Match app for iPhone and iPad

GAME PLAY:
Tap to match 3 or more adjacent (horizontally, vertically or shapely). Once matched, the images disappear and new ones drop down into the their vacant spaces, creating endless random combinations.

OBJECTIVE:
Beat your Best Score for each level (image set) within a defined time limit and a defined number of moves (touches). Both can be custom defined by the player in Settings: Custom Parameters for limitless combinations of games. Beginner players can start with long timeframes and maximum number of moves. The more advanced players can play (and beat their best scores) with shorter timeframes and smaller number of moves.

SCORING:
Score higher the more adjacent images are matched. Smart bombs match all their adjacent images and any subsequent image arrangements, potentially increasing score significantly. Smart 8 adds 8 free moves without penalties for wrong moves. A wrong move is a move/touch of a single image that has no matched images with scoring penalties of Moves -10 and Score -100 (initial default values, customised by user in Settings). A neutral move is a move/touch of an image with only 1 adjacent match (no impact on score).

There are 9 levels. Each level is a new image set: 1. MMs, 2. Animals, 3. Landmarks, 4. Heroes, 5. Music, 6. Balls, 7. Skulls, 8: Buttons, 9. Chocolate.
