Christmas Matching Game

Why We Picked Christmas Matching Game

Christmas Matching Game asks for a good first ten seconds and then a better next ten, and that is the entire design. Deaths are cheap and immediate, which is what makes the next attempt easy to start. Its difficulty curve is a staircase rather than a slope, and the steps are visible. The reason it stayed: the loop is legible in ten seconds and still worth a twentieth attempt. For reference: 468 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 5.0 out of 5 from 2 ratings, and 148 plays.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• After using a menu inside the frame, click the play area again before resuming.
• Survive as long as the game allows and let the number measure it.
• Ease off before the fast section instead of catching up during it.

Editor’s Note

One more go is the entire retention design, and it works about as well as it ever did. Most run on the keyboard or a single pointer; a few accept touch, and none need a controller or a download.
