Match Masters APK download for Android: how the game plays

The basics are familiar: line up at least three identical pieces of the same color horizontally or vertically to score. Bigger matches earn more points.

What sets it apart is that you and a live opponent share the exact same board. Every move you make changes your rival’s screen too.

Matches are turn-based. If a move fails to earn a special result, or you run out of time, your turn passes to the opponent. Pull off special matches and chained combos, though, and you keep the turn, leaving your rival waiting until you slip up.

Modes and content

A range of boosters with special powers can swing a match. Matching blue stars charges your booster so you can strike at your opponent.

Beyond quick duels, there are live events, tournaments and daily challenges with exclusive rewards, plus sticker collecting and album completion for bigger prizes.

• Trophy system and global rankings for competitive players.
• Facebook login to challenge your friends.
• An active community on social media and Discord.
• Regular updates with new boosters and bug fixes.

The game is free to play, with optional in-app purchases for boosters and cosmetic items.

Requirements and installing the XAPK file

You need Android 7.1 or newer and room for a file of about 267 MB. An internet connection is required at all times, since every match is played live. The game is rated 3+, suitable for all ages.

The download is an XAPK file, so you will need an XAPK installer app. Download the file, open it with the installer, follow the prompts, then launch the game and start your first duel.
