Shape Clear

Play:

Maximise Touch: Drag a shape onto an adjacent one to swap and match 3 or more · Keyboard: Mouse drag on desktop; no keyboard controls

About:

A dependency-free, from-scratch match-3 clone that swaps licensed candy art for plain geometric shapes. Four toggleable modes (standard timer, moves-limited, board with holes, easy) add real variety. Swap controls were confirmed correct on both touch and mouse via a live-state-driven test: a valid move was computed from the real board data, dispatched as a genuine drag at the exact resulting coordinates, and the resulting score change verified programmatically. A third-party visitor-counter beacon found in the bundled (unused) landing page was stripped before shipping.

Phone check: 2026-09-08: played on simulated phone (390x844, real CDP touch drag with intermediate touchmove waypoints) and desktop (1280x800, mouse drag) - a valid swap was computed from the live board state (gameScreen.board.shapes), dispatched at the exact resulting coordinates derived from boardView.x/y/gridSize, and confirmed via a real score change from 0 to 60 on both platforms. Also confirmed alternate modes (Moves mode, Board with holes) toggle and start without crashing.
