THE GAME

A FIGHTING GAME YOU PLAY WITH MATCHES.

The board is your moveset. Line up gloves, boots, belts and wraps, and your fighter throws the hit on stage — wind-ups telegraph, blocks negate, cascades charge SUPERs. It looks like a puzzle. It plays like a brawl.

WHY IT'S A FIGHTER

WATCH THE STAGE, NOT JUST THE BOARD.

In most match-3 games the board is the whole world. In Match KO it's just your corner of the ring. Every match becomes an attack with a wind-up you can see — and so can your opponent.

That changes what a turn means. Match the block color to negate an incoming hit. Answer an attack with a bigger one. Or eat the chip damage on purpose, because the cascade you've been building for three turns is about to land like a truck.

Telegraph, read, block, punish. The puzzle is the input. The fight is the game.

A SUPER on the incoming pill and a fighter on the canvas — the telegraph, and the price of not answering it

WAYS TO PLAY

PICK YOUR FIGHT.

ARCADE

Pick a fighter and climb the ladder. Clear a run to unlock more of the roster — every fighter has their own gauntlet to finish.

DAILY FIGHT

One curated matchup a day with its own twist. Play it or don't — no streaks, no guilt. It'll be there tomorrow either way.

VERSUS

Any matchup, any arena, difficulty from friendly to ruthless. This is the lab where you learn what a fighter can really do.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Around thirty to earn, with titles like Champion and The Unbroken for the dedicated. And a few you won't want to brag about.

THE ROSTER

SAME RULES. SIX DIFFERENT ANSWERS.

No fighter has better numbers than another — each one bends the same combat math a different way. Find the one that matches how you already think.

Jackrabbit VOLUME

Volume puncher. +10% on every 3-tile match. A thousand jabs beat one haymaker.

Landslide CASCADE

Demolition pro. +15% on cascades. Hits harder still once you're hurt — pressure is the whole plan.

Cadence RHYTHM

Rhythm fighter. +15% on 4-tile-and-up matches, and clean lines heal her. Efficiency is a weapon.

Geomancer PATTERN

Pattern tactician. +30% when matches form an L or T shape. Sees corners the rest of us don't.

Siegebreaker BREAKER

Anti-defense bruiser. +25% when a cascade smashes through Block tiles. Walls are a suggestion.

Rally COMEBACK

Comeback kid. +10% damage while behind on HP. Never count her out.

THE VENUES

FIVE ARENAS AT DUSK.

Every fight plays out on a pixel-art stage — mountain passes, torch-lit ruins, temple gates — while the crowd of tiles waits below.
