SARUPA Match 3 Puzzle
Reviews
SARUPA stands out in the match-3 genre by using monkeys as the matching pieces and a tree as the board. The core swap mechanic is familiar, but the introduction of new monkey types and the two-monkey drop in Difficult mode create escalating complexity. The game rewards planning ahead and spotting cascades. It suits players who enjoy relaxed but strategic puzzle games, though those seeking fast-paced action may find it slow.
Description
Clearing Monkeys from the Tree
SARUPA is a 3D match-3 puzzle game where the objective is to clear monkeys from a tree by lining up three or more of the same color. You swap adjacent monkeys to form a match, and those monkeys disappear. New monkeys then drop from the top to fill the empty spaces, so the board is always changing. The game starts simple, but as you progress, new monkey types are introduced, making it harder to find matches.
Chain Reactions and Difficult Mode
Matches can trigger chain reactions: when monkeys fall, they may create new matches automatically. In Difficult mode, two monkeys fall together instead of one, which can lead to bigger combos and more complex board states. This mode is designed for players who want an extra challenge. Planning ahead helps you take advantage of these cascades and maximize your score.
Tips for Better Matches
Start by looking for matches near the bottom of the board. Clearing monkeys there causes more monkeys above to shift, often creating cascading combos. Keep an eye on the whole board and think a few moves ahead. In Difficult mode, use the double-drop to clear large groups quickly. Practice improves your pattern recognition and speed, so patience and careful swapping lead to higher scores.
