The match-3 you’ll want to squeeze.

Cottony is a match-3 made of felt and stuffing. Hearts, drops, stars and buttons squash when they land and puff into little clouds when they pop. It’s the first game from Viglet Games, and it’s being stitched together right now.

The game

Swap two neighbours. Line up three. Watch it all fall.

Each level asks for a score inside a budget of moves. Matches clear, the pieces above drop into the gap, and new ones tumble in from the top.

Nothing snaps

Pieces squash when they land, bounce as they settle and leave a puff of cotton when they pop.

Readable at a glance

Each piece has its own colour and its own shape, so the board still reads if you can’t tell the colours apart.

Never stuck

When no move is left, the board reshuffles itself and you keep playing. Sit still for five seconds and a hint lights up.

The cast

Six plush pieces to match

Hearts, drops and candies have faces. Stars, buttons and puffs keep quiet.

  • Heart
  • Drop
  • Star
  • Button
  • Puff
  • Candy

…and three you have to earn

Match more than three and the board hands you something back. Tap a card to see what.

A special caught in a blast goes off too, so one can set off the next.

Put two specials side by side

Swap one special into another and they fire together, bigger.

  • + Line + line Clears the row and the column.
  • + Line + bomb Three rows and three columns.
  • + Bomb + bomb Everything in a 5 × 5.
  • + Rainbow + line Every piece of that kind turns into a line blast, and they all fire.
  • + Rainbow + rainbow We’ll let you find that one out.

Cascades pay more

Every time falling pieces make a new match on their own, the multiplier climbs.

  1. ×1
  2. ×1.5
  3. ×2
  4. ×3
  5. ×4
  6. ×5

Try it

A sample board, right here

Drag a piece onto a neighbour, or tap one and then the other. You have 20 moves. Reach 2,500 points for the first star.

A web sample drawn with Cottony’s art and played by the rules in its design document. It isn’t the game: no sound, simpler effects and no boosters.

Boosters

Three tools for a tight spot

Using a booster doesn’t cost a move, and whatever you don’t spend carries over to the next level.

  • 3

    Hammer

    Knocks out the one piece you tap.

  • 2

    Shuffle

    Mixes up the whole board.

  • 1

    Wand

    Turns any piece into a rainbow.

Three stars per level

Reach the target for one star, 160% of it for two and 240% for three.

No account, no internet

Your levels, stars and boosters are saved on your own computer.

Calmer motion

A reduced-motion setting shortens every animation and stops the board from shaking.
