Magic Match
Magic Match is a fast-paced memory puzzle game created in just 24 hours for a game jam. Players reveal cards and match identical pairs, but some cards trigger special effects when paired, changing the board and adding surprise to the familiar matching format. The project explores how a small set of rules can create a playful and unpredictable experience within a very limited production schedule.
The gameplay design combines memory, planning and risk management. Players must decide which cards to reveal, remember the board state and adapt their strategy when a special effect is activated. These effects create opportunities to recover from mistakes or disrupt a planned sequence, keeping each turn engaging and making the choice between a safe match and a risky play meaningful.
