Endless Match Three

I never planned to make this game. It started with Candy Crush, which my partner had installed on our iPad. My son got so hooked that he told me Candy Crush was something he had to play every day. When I looked at it, I felt it did very little for the brain. Most of it is sparkling effects and spectacular explosions, made to make you feel good so you keep on playing.

I tried deleting it several times, but my son got very upset every time. So we made a deal: I would make him a similar game to play instead.

I put this one together quickly with the help of AI. The mechanics work much like any other match-3 game, and I kept the design as plain as I could. It has done its job well: it took the place of Candy Crush, and my son now spends less time glued to the screen.
