Our take on Tidewell
Reviewed by the LetsPlayFree editors ·
Tidewell is a cozy match-3 about repairing a harbor after a storm. You swap sea treasures to match them and craft flares, buoys, gulls and tide pearls, which can be combined for big chain reactions.
There are 100 handcrafted levels in which you clear crates, sand, nets and message bottles. You swipe a tile, or tap one and then a neighbor, and swapping two power-ups combines them. The harbor theme gives the match-3 formula a calm, cozy mood.
Crafting power-ups and combining two of them is where the best chain reactions come from, so setting up crafted pieces before using them is better than firing them immediately. Clearing crates, sand and nets across 100 levels gives the harbor theme a sense of rebuilding.
How to play Tidewell
