An open source software that offers a free match-3 game.
What sets Cartouche apart from other games in this category is the fact that you can match on either the hieroglyphs color or on its symbol. This adds a bit more complexity to the usual Match-3 strategy and hopefully provides a refreshing change for Match-3 fans.
In Cartouche, you earn points and more game time by matching three or more hieroglyphs. Using the mouse, you click on a hieroglyph, and then click on one of its neighbors - above, below, left, or right. If this move creates a set of three or more matching hieroglyphs, the symbols will swap, the matches will be removed, and the rest of the hieroglyphs will fall into the empty spaces created. New hieroglyphs will also appear to fill in the gaps.
Most importantly, you will earn points and a time bonus which keeps the gameplay exciting and engaging. If you have played other "match 3" games before, where typically you match the objects based on their color, that works here as well. So if you line up three green hieroglyphs, that's a match.
Overall, Cartouche provides a fun and challenging gameplay experience for fans of the match-3 genre. With its unique mechanics and beautiful graphics, it's definitely worth checking out.
