Mary's Match is a match-3 game. While staring too long at her phone, a girl named Mary walked down the wrong path in the woods into a mysterious section of the forest. She needs the player's help to find her way out. The player guides Mary's journey by performing matches with three or more colorful, carved stones and other objects on playboards from level to level. Mary needs them to complete tasks as well. The player must collect a specific type of object or objects per level.
The player creates matching row or column lines and four-object squares. They also create, or buy, and then use boosters to remove objects of any color and type in horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines and sectional blasts. To create a booster, they must match three objects in the form of an L or T or match four or more at a time.
Mary's Match features bombs, rockets, fireworks and rainbow ball pi�atas that remove objects in various ways. The player doesn't need to swap these boosters with other objects on a board to make the powerful tools work. They merely need to double-select one. That said, a manual swap gives them greater control over the outcome. Instead of allowing the game to make the decision, the player swaps a rainbow ball pi�ata manually with a specific stone to remove all of the same color and type from the board.
This game also features merge mechanics. The player can slide one booster into another to create a stronger single booster. For example, merging a rainbow ball pi�ata with a different booster spreads that booster to other spaces on a board, and merging two pi�atas removes every object.
