The Forest Friends
About The Forest Friends
Moves are limited rather than timed, which flips the usual match-three instinct on its head. With a fixed budget of swaps and specific level goals to hit, the question stops being how fast you can clear things and becomes whether a given move advances the objective at all. Matching for the sake of matching burns the budget on items the level never asked for. Larger matches clear more per move and are therefore worth waiting for, which is the opposite of what a timed board rewards.
How to Play
- Match three or more identical forest items to collect them.
- Check the level goals before spending a move.
- Build larger matches, since each one costs the same single move.
- Ignore matches that do not advance an objective.
The Forest Friends FAQ
Why do I fail levels with plenty of matches still available?
Because moves ran out rather than options. Every swap costs the same whether it clears three items or eight, so spending them on matches unrelated to the level goals is what loses these stages, not a lack of things to match.
