A fresh twist on the match-3 puzzle
Classic match-3 games ask you to swap two pieces. Field Shift asks a different question: what happens if only one color can move? Every swipe slides all balls of the active color at once, while the others become fixed obstacles. Suddenly a tiny 6×6 field is full of possibilities.

Read guide →Questions and answers
Is Field Shift free?
Yes. Field Shift is free on iPhone and iPad. It includes ads and one optional purchase: Ad-Free + 3 Shuffles, a one-time upgrade (not a subscription) that removes automatic ad breaks and gives you three free shuffles per run.
How do you play Field Shift?
Swipe in any direction. Only balls of the active color slide; every other ball stays where it is. Line up three or more balls of the same color side by side (horizontally or vertically) to clear them. New balls arrive as the run continues, so keep making space. See how to play.
What is the active color?
Each turn, one color is active. The card above the board shows it, and the board rings change to match. Colors rotate in a predictable order, and if the next color has no possible match the game skips to one that does.
What is the Daily Field?
A new seeded challenge every day. Everyone starts from the same layout, so you can compare scores with friends, build a daily streak and chase your personal best. Read why daily puzzles work.
What's the difference between Classic and Daily?
Classic is an endless run you can play any time at your own pace. Daily Field is a single shared layout that changes every day.
How do combos work?
Clear on consecutive moves to build a combo. The longer the chain, the bigger the reward, with rising tones to match. The combo guide explains how to set them up.
