Prototype KPI results define the full production go decision, keeping development investment proportional to validated market potential.
Match-3 production requires prototype validation against current market KPIs before full production is committed. Game-Ace develops match-3 games for iOS, Android, and browser, delivering core mechanic design, level pipeline setup, and publisher-ready builds across every stage from concept to live ops. All source code and assets transfer to the client.

End-to-end match-3 production from mechanic design through prototype, level content, art, monetisation, and platform submission.
Original tile interaction systems, layered obstacles, and booster mechanics validated in a prototype before full production investment.
Tile sets, UI elements, character art, and VFX produced to match-3 genre standards with performance optimisation for mobile and browser targets.
Scalable level creation framework covering difficulty balance, pacing curves, and event mechanic integration for large content libraries.
Simultaneous iOS, Android, and HTML5 builds from a single codebase with platform-specific optimisation passes and store submission support.
Rewarded ads, IAP, event tracking, A/B testing infrastructure, and post-launch live ops for seasonal content and retention mechanics.
More than two decades in game development.
In-house production team across key disciplines.
Delivered across selected game genres.
Match-3 economics depend on hitting Day 1 and Day 7 retention targets. A mechanic that does not reach these benchmarks should fail at prototype stage, not after a full production cycle. Game-Ace validates core mechanics against current chart KPIs before committing to full production. Prototypes cover one core interaction and 10–15 test levels, sufficient to measure early retention signals before further investment.
Match-3 games require hundreds of levels with consistent difficulty curves, pacing variety, and event content. Setting up a scalable level pipeline early prevents the content bottleneck that typically appears in the second half of a match-3 production. Game-Ace establishes the pipeline and tooling during pre-production so the content team can operate at full capacity throughout the full level count.
Prototype validation, scalable level pipeline, and publisher-ready analytics from a single production team.
A match-3 game at Game-Ace starts from €60,000 for a focused initial release with core mechanics and a level set. Titles with custom backend, social features, and cross-platform delivery typically range from €100,000–€250,000+. Pricing depends on level count, art complexity, and monetisation requirements.
