Christmas Match Intro screens 1 (Coco 3 version only)
Christmas Match is a casual game of match 2, where the player can flip two cards over at a time and tries to find matching pairs. If a pair matches, those cards are removed from the board, and the player keeps going until they have turned over all of the cards, upon which they progress to the next round. Being a truly casual game, there is no scoring (or even a timer), but the game does add more cards for several rounds to make the game more difficult. The game starts with a 4x3 grid of cards, and progresses until it gets up to 7x4. In later levels, some of the Christmas themed shapes are the same, but the colors are different.
The whole game is Christmas themed, from the splashscreen with theme music to the cards themselves. The game is a free download from Paul's itch.io page (see below) and has both a 16 color enhanced Coco 3 version, as well as a Coco 1/2 4 color version, and both come on the same DSK image.
