Create dioramas based on the Tintin comics in this match-three puzzle game.
Tintin Match is a match-three puzzle game inspired by The Adventures of TinTin comic series. The game challenges you to complete levels in order to build dioramas featuring Tintin, his dog Snowy, and more.
In each level of Tintin Match, you’re asked to complete one or more objectives before running out of moves. For instance, in one stage, you may be asked to clear a required number of symbols of a specific color, while another level may ask you to clear boxes from the board by making matches next to them.
By default, you can make matches by swapping the locations of two touching symbols to create a vertical or horizontal line of three or more matching symbols.
In addition to making these standard matches, you can make matches with four-or-more symbols (as well as matches in the shape of an L, T, or square) to trigger the appearance of power-ups on the board. These boosters can help you finish stages.
When you complete a stage, you’ll receive up to three stars, based on your performance. You’ll always receive one star for beating the level, but you can earn two more depending on the number of moves you had left and the number of boosters you activated during the stage.
As you earn stars, you’ll receive pieces to the game’s dioramas, as well as crafting materials that you can use to craft things like extra in-game currency and power-ups. If you don’t earn all three stars on a level, you may need to replay the stage in order to collect all of the diorama pieces you need to move on to the next area of the game.
Tintin Match is available to download for free on iOS and Android devices. While the game is free-to-play, it does contain optional in-app purchases. Tintin Match is rated 12+ on iOS and E10+ for Everyone 10+ on Android.
