Food Match is a match-3 puzzle game with a food theme. The player receives a variety of food and related objects floating in different directions inside a large bubble in front of a beautiful backdrop. Below the bubble, they receive a horizontal tray with seven empty spaces.
The player's goal is to remove all of the objects from the bubble. They can only perform this task by matching three identical food items at a time in the tray. If they fill the tray without making matches, they lose the game. If they complete the task, they receive cash and move on to the next level.
Food objects include cotton candy, cupcakes, eggplant, fruit kebabs, ice cream, parfaits, peppers and waffles. That said, the player must match non-food objects as well, such as kitchen items like coffee makers, grills, microwaves, mugs, stand mixers, rolling pins, shakers, stools, tables and toasters.
Once the player selects three objects, the game removes the pieces. If they can't find three at a time, they can use the hint and shuffle buttons to reveal matches. They can also use an undo button to try a different strategy. If they run out of opportunities to use these helpful buttons, they must watch ads.
Food Match also has a photo colorization element. The player receives access to black-and-white image of rooms in a modern home. They use their cash winnings to add color to different spots marked with dots in each room.
