Crumbcade

Match three. Eight directions.

A bakery match-three puzzle game for iPhone where you can swap diagonally as well as up, down, left and right. Out now on the App Store.

What it is

Most match-three games let you swap up, down, left and right. Crumbcade lets you go diagonally too, so you can swap a piece with anything touching it, corners included. Every piece has eight neighbours instead of four, and the whole board opens up.

The pieces come from a bakery: gingerbread men, doughnuts, macaroons, wafers, choc chip biscuits, toffees and more. Each level gives you a goal and a set number of moves to reach it. Match four or more and you make a special: a rolling pin that clears a row or column, a jam bomb that clears the squares around it, or a golden doughnut that takes every piece of one kind.

There are 480 levels to play through, and new daily challenges that are the same for everyone.

When you want company, start a duel: two players take turns on one shared board, racing to the same goal. Or post a board with Beat my board and see who can top your score. Nothing you can buy works in a duel, so nobody can pay to win.

Crumbcade is free to download, with optional in-app purchases.

Play it by ear

Crumbcade is fully playable by ear with VoiceOver. Every piece, score and menu is spoken, the game tells you what is around the piece you are on, and every swap, diagonals included, can be made without seeing the screen. It is one game for everyone: the same levels, the same daily challenges and the same duels, with no cut-down mode.

About the developer

Crumbcade is made by Tori, a blind app developer in Australia. She wanted a match-three that is just as good whether you look at the board or listen to it, so that everyone can play it, and play it together.
