As a casual game with classic match-3 gameplay at its core combined with creative fashion makeover game elements, Project Makeover requires players to solve a large number of match-3 puzzles to get enough coins to give clients more suitable and fancier outfits, makeups and even furniture. In other words, excellent puzzle solving skills and strategic thinking are essential prerequisites for the player to continue the game. So, today we’re going to focus on how we can effectively match more match-3 elements to make the game experience better.

First and foremost, it’s important to fundamentally shift from short-sightedness to strategic and holistic thinking. Don’t rush to match every base element you see as soon as you enter each match-3 challenge as the number of moves you can make in each level is limited. Once you run out of steps and you haven’t reached the level’s goal yet, you have failed and wasted a precious life. Instead, it is vital for every player to make every crucial step count. For example, making five or six automatic matches in a row with just one move, or looking for opportunities to match four or five elements together. Remember, in an untimed match-3 game, you can’t go wrong with taking more time to strategically deploy each move. At the same time, you can also earn multiple points in one move by reasoning about the possible matches of falling elements from a global perspective before moving this step.

In addition, with the help of powerups at the right time, the level that makes you get stuck for a long time will be readily solved. For example, you are allowed to use powerups in advance if you know that the level you are about to tackle is outrageous, such as the bomb that clears the surrounding nine squares after being matched, and the rainbow that will suck up all elements exchanged and successfully matched to get you out of trouble. However, it is worth noting that these powerful items are not recommended to be used unless you encounter a level that you can’t get through for days, as they are so low in availability late in the game that you shouldn't use them as a last resort.
