Details
Overview
Matching puzzle games are everywhere, largely because their rules are so easy to pick up. Island Puzzle puts a fresh spin on the formula with oddly-shaped boards and looser, more open-ended play. It's a solid starting point if you're not yet confident with matching puzzles, since it encourages you to study the chip layouts closely — a habit that carries over well into other puzzle titles. Master this island and you might just be ready to tackle others.
Gameplay and Experience
Set on a lush island and playable entirely with the mouse, Island Puzzle has you guiding the cursor through menus and clicking the left mouse button to interact with chips. Matches are formed by clicking and dragging across a pattern, with each level asking you to hit a matching target while chasing extra matches for bonus rewards. Pressing the button in the lower right of the main menu starts a round; the level prompt then lists the chips you need and lets you pick any boosters you've earned. Once in, randomised chips drop onto the board, and linking three or more identical chips — whether adjacent, diagonal, above or below one another — creates a chain. Moves are limited, so running out before hitting the target means restarting the level. A star dial on the right fills up as you chain matches, and longer chains produce stronger boosters: line bombs wipe rows or columns, square bombs clear larger areas, and star bombs convert sections of chips to match whatever they touch. Completing levels earns coins based on how well and how efficiently you matched. Back on the home screen, a checklist in the corner offers tasks, snippets of story, and ways to decorate your island.
Controls
Everything is handled with the mouse: the cursor moves around the interface, and the left button both clicks and drags to form matching patterns.
How to Play
Start from the main menu button in the lower right corner. Each level prompt shows the chips you must match and any boosters available to select before you begin.

Tips and Tricks
The game is forgiving with its pieces and matching rules, so there's little reason to rush. Prioritise the chips the level asks for, but also try clearing out most of the board to free up space quickly. Hold onto bombs until they'll have the biggest impact.
