About this game

Crack open a pixel-art puzzle adventure! NutCracker is a match-3 game where your boards are watched by Nutkin, a cheeky squirrel who steals your nuts, swaps your pieces, and occasionally leaves a snack behind when he feels guilty.

Goal:
Swap and match walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios, chestnuts, macadamias, and peanuts. Line up four or more or make L and T shapes to charge special nuts that clear rows or columns, blast 3x3 areas, or wipe an entire nut type off the board. Square matches score bonus points and charge a special nut too. Chain cascades to multiply your score.

Every few turns, Nutkin scampers across your board. He might swipe a nut, swap your pieces around, or if you're lucky leave a squirrel snack worth bonus time or extra moves. Watch for his telegraph and plan around him.

70 Levels with 14 Worlds
Journey through fourteen pixel worlds, five levels each: Spring Forest, Summer Forest, Fall Forest, Rain Forest, Jungle, Temple, Seaside, Canyon, Mountain Top, Castle, Ruins, Winter Forest, Haunted House, and the Midnight Keep. The nut mix changes as you travel, and new obstacles join in along the way:
- ICE: frozen nuts are locked and unmatchable until you melt them
- STONE: solid blockers that take two hits to crack and break
- VINES: tangles that block movement until you match beside them
- ROT: spreads to neighboring nuts if you don't clear it fast

Make a big match beside an obstacle to charge a rescue power-up: shatter all the ice, quake every stone, whip away the vines, or cure the rot across the whole board.

Earn Every Star:
Beat the clock or make every move count, hit the target score, and bank up to five stars per level. Replay levels to beat your best score.
