Mayor Match: City Builder & Match-3

Mayor Match: City Builder & Match 3 is a casual game that mixes city building with match 3 puzzles, and I think that combination works better than I expected. I start with a fairly empty piece of land and slowly turn it into a proper city by completing puzzles and using the resources I earn from them. I can build homes, shops, farms and other buildings while also working on roads and transport. It is not a serious city simulator where I have to worry about every little detail, but it gives me enough control to make the city feel like something I am actually building.

Mayor Match: City Builder & Match-3 is a casual puzzle and city-development game that blends the simplicity of match-3 challenges with the satisfaction of gradually constructing a thriving metropolis.

The basic premise places the player in the role of a mayor responsible for transforming an undeveloped area into a busy urban center. Expansion happens gradually, allowing the city to become more elaborate as additional facilities and services become available.
