Match Factory takes first place because it turns the matching idea into very short, clear levels. A pile of 3D objects fills the screen, and you tap three identical items to clear them until the board is empty. Each level has a timer, which keeps rounds brisk, and boosters help when you get stuck. Peak Games, the studio behind Toon Blast, says the game works online or offline, though purchases need a connection, and new item packs such as American Diner arrive in updates. The US App Store listing does not flag advertising, which sets it apart from most tile matching games, and the cheapest coin pack is $1.99. The downsides are the clock, which some relaxed players will dislike, a large 711.6 MB download, and a developer note that players must be at least 13 even though the store rating is 4+. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not time our own runs.
