Shinobi Match
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

About the game
Immerse yourself in a Japan themed twist on the beloved match 3 genre. Here rather than simply sliding pieces to form groups, you will take on the role of a skilled ninja, wielding an array of weapons to launch attacks against enemies while strategically uniting your allies.

Each weapon you encounter has its own attack pattern, providing you with strategic options to pass the puzzles. This allows for you to find multiple approaches to each challenge.
As you become proficient with all the weapons the difficulty ramps up. Enemies will start to deploy traps, adding an extra layer of complexity that will require you to think several steps ahead in order to beat the puzzles successfully.

- Match 3 Game with a Twist

The game does not work for me.
Can anyone explain to me what win32-x64 means?
Sorry I missed your message when you sent it, did you got any specific error when trying to run the game?
It’s for 64 bit processors, but also compatible with 32 bit old windows machines. I should probably remove that since only the 64 bit part is relevant today.
Needs clearer instructions.
The scoring system is unclear. The weapons aren't explained (but are obvious). I can't pass level 2 even by being strategic.
Thanks for your feedback, we will improve on that in the next iteration.
A new version with the initial identified problems resolved was published.
